Honestly HL3 shouldve been out a decade ago for me to care. If it ever does release then im just not all that interested anymore.
Who cares? I'd rather they take their time instead of rushing the first crap they think about. And knowing valve I bet they waited for newer technologies to offer more in their games (case in point: Alyx with VR)
They literally didnt finish episode 3 because they felt they had nothing new to show, they said all this in the documentary. They didn't want to just make more of the same. If they are making Half Life 3 (highly doubt it, as Tyler McVicker just chats shit to try and stay relevant), it's because they finally have some new tech or ideas they want to play around with, like as you said with Alyx.
I still haven't played Alyx, I am waiting for better and cheaper VR before playing it.
Better will happen. Cheaper than Meta selling the Quest 2/3s at a loss for $300 because they bank on the walled garden of the Oculus app store for profit? Rather unlikely.
Especially now that every VR headset seems to be a standalone and the simple "HDMI cable to a PC" doesn't really seem to exist any more, so you have to pay for the mandatory integrated gaming tablet as well.
Sadly it's going to be a while since everyone is waiting for that to magically happen out of the goodness of the developers heart.
I do not regret my vr investment at all.
