Don't die for the next five years while waiting for Half Life

How many theories have we seen about Half Life 3 in our lifetime. But as we all know, hope dies last, and the continuation of our favorite game can still light up us. And it was not some insider who hinted at this, but Gabe Newell himself, albeit in a very peculiar way.

Tyler McVicker spoke about this on the Valve News Network. In one of his columns, he collects numerous questions from fans and sends them by email to Gabe himself, he answers them, after which Tyler broadcasts his answers to the public. And recently one of the questions was: “Tell me, will I see the new Half Life before I die? I'm 32 now. " To which Mr. Newell replied with the phrase: “Don't die for the next five years or so.”

Unfortunately, it's difficult to rejoice, because the question and answer are dated last year, and even if this is true, it is not a fact that we will have a numbered continuation of the game. But if it turns out that this is some kind of mobile grinder in the Half Life universe - most likely, many fans will not survive until its release, because they will die from such news.

Breaking the Fourth Wall and Inner Voice - Narrative in Control

In her interviews with Game Informer, Remedy Entertainment smoothly transitioned from gameplay to storyline. In the last post, we were told about the storytelling in the game.

The developer classifies the art style of the action as the New Weird genre. This strange name in every sense implies a new take on science fiction and fantasy, deviating from the canons and emphasizing the quirkiness of what is happening. You could see something similar in the movie "Inception".

As a way of narrating, we will hear the voice of the main character, Jessie Fayden, voicing her thoughts. According to developers, this will help show the GG's isolation. However, her comments on small details should not be expected.

During the dialogues, it should give the impression that three people are speaking. Jesse, her interlocutor and the inner voice of the girl, which reflects her real emotions. We were also hinted that the voice will destroy the fourth wall.

The game will also have enough lore: documents, audio recordings, messages, etc. However, they will not go overboard with them, as the previous game of the studio Quantum Break suffered from this.

Given the past experience of Quantum Break, the studio has also decided to abandon cinematic live-action cutscenes in the main plot. However, we will still see this in some posts.
