Half Life 3 is actually coming!

[G2ThaUNiT]

In the event HL3 is actually coming, I thought this would be a great time to remind everyone that Alyx is on a 66% off sale for the next week and a half. And if you don't have a VR headset, feel free to use the NoVR mod that's been out for a year and a half now. The team is constantly making improvements and have even added animations, such as Alyx's arms.

It feels great to play, and in the latest version of the mod, they've added a launcher. So you just run the executable and it auto launches the game. The launcher also auto updates the mod when a new patch is out.

There's currently 6 of the 42 achievements that are unobtainable, but that is something they're aiming on fixing before the end of the year.

Here's their latest update:

"Moving ahead into the new year, our main goals for 2024 include:

Making the final 6 achievements attainable with NoVR
Animations and final adjustments to the final weapon upgrades
Addition of more toner puzzles throughout the entire game
Preliminary prototype of the locker puzzles
Additional animations such as Alyx's hand on the health station, injecting a syringe and more
Map edits to ensure smooth locomotion on all maps without getting caught on items
Improved weapon sway and movement along with snappier ADS speed
And much more!

As noted we intend to aim for a 1.0 release by the end of 2024, so most major parts of the project should wrap up by the end of the year. This is all tentative and of course it could take longer, but based on the first 9 months of development we should be on track."
