All the art they’ve been showing off looks really cool.
I hope the hacking mini game doesn’t get annoying or overused.
Edit: the AMA’s happening now. Worth a read.

Pretty good AMA.

Hammer tools but no full SDK just yet - sad but apparently they're aiming for release shortly after

More attention to AI - they've been looking at HL1 soldier AI as inspiration

Promises they're still on track for March release with no delays

No further comment on Merle Dandridge but hinting at future cooperation

And a lot of "Don't wanna spoil this" plus some people REEing that they dared to have any fun by answering some more silly comments.

Huh, I didn't know that. I know everyone ended up with a copy because you'd get it for free along with everything else HL1-related if you entered a HL1 CD key.

But it had no single player and the servers were dead the like two times I ever started it so I never got to play it.

I tried to play it once, but it was really confusing and laggy.

The game might play like shit, but damn. Looks nice.
Seriously this is too much detail.

Yeah, that's a solid one-up on the charred civilian model from Half-Life 2. Props to the art team for their absolutely grotesque work.
(Yes, I am aware the charred corpse texture was taken from a photograph, you don't need to post it.)

The game is gonna be so immersive that when you die in the game you’ll think you died in real life and try to kill yourself.

Yeah it was something like that. I remember it was around the same era as the original Day of Defeat. I would also unironically love Ricochet 2, because the original really was criminally underappreciated.

Ricochet 2 is a codeword for Half-Life 3 / HL2:EP3. It's a running gag that Gabe Newell introduced early last decade
