That would be cool if that’s what the Borealis is about as long as it fits in with the events of chapter 2. Essentially The Borealis must have the ability to open a second portal to the combines dimension. And there has to be a race/fight with the remaining combine over this. Think we might get to find out what grey suit mans agenda is too…

It’s blatantly coming out mid 2014 with the new steam console. I strongly suspect it will be optimized for v.r as well. If there was a better reason for holding of release of half life 3 I can’t think of one. TOTAL IMMERSION HL3 Fuck Yea!

I speculate that this could be a problem of integrating motion capture and real American Sign Language into the voice acting and character design on screen. So far, the characters face Gordon during the dialogue scenes, but they express themselves almost completely via their voices. Imagine a new character who can’t speak. Gabe has said they want to introduce a new such character. But I also speculate that no problem could take a full 6 or 7 years to figure out. A lot of the delay must be related to the new Source 2 engine. Engines are a major pain to create. I feel certain, without evidence, that Valve is going to announce soon at least what’s been causing the delay, if not the game itself and a tentative release timeframe.
