Red Faction Guerrilla had a piss-poor but still very fun simulation of "building physics" where the geography was invulnerable but all of the skyscrapers and crap could be knocked around/over. I think in my fantasy-HL3 there would be a similar level of destructibility to the buildings with the addition of terrain deformation so you could blow craters in the ground and such. This actually sounds not dissimilar from a different game I heard about that actually got made but I also heard that game was a piece of crap so ymmv.

The presentation is also happening in room 304. I am also convinced that valve doesn't actually do anything. It's like gave Newell got rich and decided to hire a bunch of people for no reason.

vr will never be the future until a sufficient percentage of society goes full on hikikomori and would rather be plugged into a 100% immersive environment instead of acknowledging the presence of friends, family, their environment, etc. movies, tv and singleplayer games are social, insofar as they're something multiple people can come together to look at while they talk about/do other things. watching some slackjawed jackass bob and weave in response to the colors being fired into their dumb eyes is only ironically fun for a little while before you get really sad about society and awkwardly leave to go find a quiet booth in a bar. entertainment tech is shaped by the fact that its users are social animals who want to be in close proximity to one another as they share an experience. reality augmentation has a better chance of winning hearts and minds and... well, google glass...

It's also not a stepping stone towards jacking our consciousness into the cyberworld like some goons think, it's a very pointless innovation

iSheep posted:Basically this. NPC interaction is more or less standard now. Nobody gives a poo poo about physics. Duke Nukem forever added blowjobs to FPS games and that worked out perfectly fine... HL3 doesn't need a gimmick, it needs a big "what if" to turn into a new industry standard and they won't release it until they believe they've found the next big "what if". VR could be that "what if" but I wouldn't bet money on it after being a teenager in the 1990's and laughing at the Virtual Boy.

1stGear posted:It didn't, actually. Just kinda doesn't sound like your thing. This is the internet. "Not my thing" translates to "an abomination in the eyes of the lord." Be thankful I said it "kinda" sucked, you don't hear many hedge-words these days. but if what HL2 introduced to FPS were meaningful character interactions... uhh, how did they do that any better than Vampire, which was released on the same day and is essentially an FPS to the point where you can't finish the game trying to play it diplomatically?

Vampires are dumb and Freeman doesn't talk, allowing nerds to better live vicariously through him. HL and HL2 gave me a headache after about 10 minutes of playing. Took me forever to finish those games.

Announcement of a new Source Engine, running the newest entry in a flagship series, is both the most and least likely outcome. Most, because it's the logical thing for Valve to do. Least, because Valve hasn't done many logical things since Steam became the iTunes of video games and they started thinking they were visionaries, instead of the people who made the games where Elvis Costello beats people to death with a Westward Gooseneck. They could be announcing literally anything and, as long as you enjoy schadenfreude, you have nothing to lose.

VR trading cards and a hand attachment for the VR system so you can wrap your virtual cards around your dick and jack off with them. As cards are traded and jacked off with by more people, their value increases. It's virtually gay!
