    I still have hope. The end of Half Life Alyx gave a nice setup for the sequel and changed the ending of episode 2 tying the two timelines together

    I remember seeing this a couple weeks ago and being absolutely blown away by the production value of it all.

    Not to mention everything seen in the “trailer” are original models made by the animator.

      When I first saw the trailer I thought it was official. My heart broke when I learned the truth. Been playing Half Life since the original came out in 1998. That was an amazing Thanksgiving as a 14yr old.

      I remember being at Costco with my mom and back then they had tables set up in the entrance with tons of software and game boxes and I looked at the back of the box and thought “cool! I want it!”. Asked my mom if I could get it as an early Christmas gift who never said yes to that kind of thing and she said yes. I couldn’t believe it.

      I remember playing it and being so confused in the intro when you’re on the train/tram because I couldn’t figure out how to get off. I was so used to FPS games like Quake and Doom where you just clicked “new game” and were just dropped into the action or there were basic cinematics setting up the story. The build up to the action was so unique at the time it blew me away.

      Sorry for the novel. Just so many fond memories of this game and I was really stoked when I saw this stupidly well done trailer haha.
