'Half Life 3' release date news update: Third installment on VR a possibility?
Since it came out in 1998, "Half Life" has been one of the most popular videos games in the world. Following the release of its second installment, fans were hoping that the franchise will live on and the company will release another "Half Life" title. However, the latest reports coming from the industry might disappoint millions of its followers.
According to new speculations, "Half Life 3" may never happen anymore. One of the reasons that sparked the rumor is the departure of the game's designer, Marc Laidlaw. Fans think that it will be hard for game developer, Valve, to continue with the project without its original designer. Critics are also saying that the lack of interest from Valve CEO, Gabe Newell, is also one of the reasons why many are suggesting that the game will not be released.
"The only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why [they did]," Newell said during a podcast interview.
Nonetheless, fans are keeping it positive as they still hope for another sequel of their favorite first-person shooter video game.
Meanwhile, contrary to the game cancellation report, there are speculations emerging all over the Internet suggesting that the video game may still come out in the market. According to a report by The News Independent, "Half Life 3" may arrive in the VR platform. This is definitely exciting news, which gives hope to "Half Life" fans around the world.
If rumors prove to be true, it will certainly be a game changer, which is expected to have a major impact in the gaming industry. A VR feature of the game with unbelievable action sequences will be an absolute treat to the players.
However, these new reports have yet to be confirmed by the company.
