Half-Life 2 20th year anniversary

Avro_ · on23 Jan 2024, 04:49:32

As many of you know, Valve has shown the 25th anniversary they "shown" (more like talked about and updated the game to have ivan) beta and alpha stuff of Half-Life 1.
what if this year, (which is half-life 2 20th anniversary) Valve exceeds expectations and shows "get your free TVs"?
Valve has shown they're keen to update their game so in my opinion it's not as far-fetched as you may believe.
but anyway what is your opinion? am I having crazy expectations on Valve? is it a good possibility?
or even a probability for you perhaps?

i hope, it would be really cool for valve to just... add a bunch of their old scrapped games to a collection on steam, like brotherhood of arms, old hl2 beta assets that haven't been leaked yet. rouge and gearbox's version of condition zero. so we could just see what was suppose to be. it would be buggy, yes. but to archive it. that would be cool.
or they could just take the quake 2 remastered route

I just hope this wouldn't be just this shitty hl2 rtx remix some people hype about

I would fucking kill for that. Hell maybe even a documentary on the same level as last year. There’s so much potential that I absolutely pray they pull it off well.

judging by the constant, almost daily uploads to the encripted depots, theres probably gonna be a 20th anniversary update

TF2 BETA trailer for some reason: https://youtu.be/YCjNT9qGjh4?t=7115

It has been in the public domain for a long time.

R.I.P Viktor Antonov

I don't think he was looking too hot in the anniversary anyways, got fat. I'd find footage if I could.
Take good care of your health. I'm very sad, I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask him regarding HL-2
but he's dead now. Half-lived at 52. Don't waste your chances but I doubt I could contact him anyways.
Continue your legacy with a family or whatever.

Valve employees are going to start dying as they're getting old.

I miss him. He was cool.
