Valve insider Tyler McVicker
Yeah nah. He spins wild rumors for clicks, he's no insider. I'll wait for a reliable source.

Yeah, he was such a nuisance to Valve and their employees that Valve made a public statement on their twitter calling him out by name to "remind" the public that he had no exclusive insider information and was just a "passionate gamer".
Tyler got so butthurt that he changed his entire branding away from Valve News Network, swore he'd never cover Valve games again (that didn't last very long), and to this very day closes his videos with a signoff of "Tyler McVicker, passionate gamer"
I disbelieve.
Extraordinary claims required extraordinary proof. This article contains none.
Show proof or shut up.
I mean the website and that Valve expert. Not OP.
I am rumored to a billionaire with 6-pack abs and long flowing auburn locks.
In reality, he knew it wasn't auburn, it was yellow-blonde
Grey. =C
Press X to doubt.
I'l believe it when i see it.
Oh shit. Here we go agian.
HL3 has been rumored to be on the way for longer than lots of people on the internet have been alive
Half equals 1/2. 1 + 2 = 3. Half Life 3 confirmed!
This seems like too much complexity, given how small (relatively) Valve is. Then again, Valve is always hard to predict. Basically all their projects are wild moon-shots in one way or another, half their stuff doesn't make it to market, and they have a long history of fake leaks.
Valve devs said "we are not working on, and have no plans to re-start work on Half-Life 3" in the recently released HL2 audio commentary. How much clearer to they have to be?
also, go play HL2 with the commentary on, it was awesome and worth the re-visit
Should be on patient gamers as well.
But I'm not holding my breath. Also if this person had any connection with valve they probably don't any more.
Tyler McVicker has such a good connection with Valve that years ago they made a post on their official twitter calling him out by name to state that he had no exclusive or insider information, labeling him just a "passionate gamer".
His youtube name was fucking Valve News Network. He swore to never cover Valve games again, which lasted all of maybe three months.
Valve doesn’t do that.
Game one of a series is their test game to see what works.
Game two is their complete statement in that subject.
They don’t need a game three.
They made 3 more half-life games after the second one...
That's an interesting thought, but I don't think it stands up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.
I thought we were on 4 already
Alyx is, I believe, considered a spin-off
Isn't it a prequel ?
No.
I am not optimistic on it, but considering the Index's(kit and controllers) are sold out, it wouldn't surprise me that they might release a 2nd gen and announce HL3 along it.
I fully believe they are working on the game, whether it gets released when the rumor says, i'll believe it when it happens. Not worried though, just as long as i get to play it before i die, that will be just fine.
hype intensifies
