NO :(

IS YOUR BODY NOT READY?!?!

Hmmm...

Half-Life 3 will be the harrowing tale of a motion capture actress roaring in pained anguish after straining her hip?

HAHAHA...

I revel in the disappointment.

I hope Alyx Vance does that pose multiple times throughout the game. #Alright

IT'S HAPPENING

@familyphotoshoot: Shit I'm excited. Is it still cool to be excited about these types of things? Cynicism is so boring.

Well alrighty then!

Team Portal Life 3, yay!

Wow, years of waiting and the suprise gets blown on twitter with a bad picture, ughhh.
That said, I'LL PLAY SOME HL3!!! WHO'S WITH ME?

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGG

OK. Dubious.

So the actors and capture performers are just now getting into the studio which means Valve probably haven't been working on the game that much as of yet, maybe a year, maybe 3 months.

My guess is Half-life 3 is a launch game on the next console(s) and PC in 2014 and it will blow your mind.

YEAH LEFT 4 DEAD 3 STARING ALYX VANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Scooper: Linux exclusive!

L3FT 4 D3AD coming in 2013.

what if the actors are just now ALLOWED to post these pictures, as a ploy to make people think they haven't been working on it for a long time.

oooooh Gabe Newell... you dog you.

I like this reveal. Not only does it say it is definitely coming, but it's probably pretty far along too.

WAIT!!! I haven't played Half-Life 2, Episode 1 OR Episode 2 yet!

HOLY SHIT

I THINK I JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK FROM THE JOY!

hmmm

HMMMMM

I still haven't played the first two! Yay!

I'm pretty sure people need to calm down, here... Things are never how they seem.

HNNNNNGGGG

WHEN

I NEED TO KNOW WHEN

Didnt you know that today is " things are how they seem day"

Well I'm fucking excited, that's for damn sure.

They're not worth it!

Now watch me get ripped to shreds! Yay!

After years of fans sweating any little scrap of info about HL3 I find it hard to believe that this is how Valve would choose to reveal it. I have the feeling that there are some seriously pissed off PR people out there.

INFINITE JIZZING

This isn't related to Valve at all. This is Ashley Johnson's tweet, a mocap actress for The Last of Us who took a picture of Alyx Vance's mocap actress in action.

Wonder why...

@Cloudenvy: I agree! Woo!

Whatever, Half-Life is no Call of Duty.

Don't listen to CloudEnvy, he's fucking nuts!

...but I'm not getting excited until I at least see a gameplay demo or something. Valve takes their time with gamemaking to do it right, which is something I really like but it also means that a bit of mo-cap might indicate three more years worth of work.

Or it actually took six months and this long to figure out either how to count to three or how to skip the third HL game entirely.

Half-Life 2 wasn't that good.

Time to leg it.

And this is supposed to be legit?

Who is Ashley Johnson?

Picture of Annie Wersching, another The Last of Us mocap actress wearing what's pretty much the exact same suit:

Maybe mocap suits all look the same between studios, heh.

I don't see what's meant to be "legit" or "not legit" here. There is no confirmation of any kind.

Ashley Johnson is a The Last of Us mocap actress.

I'm the one who knows the truth, it's all you people that are crazy!

Next you'll tell me that the driving sections in HL2 were good, SOMETHING THAT ONLY A CRAZY PERSON WOULD THINK.

You guys are acting as if this means HL3 is just around the corner. Actually, it means the opposite. This is some mid-development shit. Nothing to get excited about.

Actually I hope this is true. That way we can just get passed this whole thing

The driving sections in HL2 are basically the Citizen Kane of gaming, heretic!

There. Now everything that can be said against you has been said. You can thank me later.

There are two realistic scenarios as far as I am concerned:

1. Half-Life 3 is currently in some stage of production which requires mo-cap and voicework from the actors who played the characters in the previous games.
2. Merle Dandridge is working on The Last of Us even though there have been no reports of her being attached to that game so far.

I hope the first one is correct.

If Valve put platforming puzzles in the next Half Life game, I'll quit on the franchise.

I

Yes.
