        Why do people still insist Alyx isn’t 3? It’s clearly 3, it’s the continuation of the story.

          Alyx is an interquel, if we’re going to say that’s a real word, and it released on a platform most of the audience just won’t ever have. Also, it doesn’t so much continue the story as it does promise to continue the story. They admit that they’ve got work to do.

    Relaunched it to replay the demo : “uplink”, it really lived up to my memory. A self contained half hour of half life fun, with an original map that show off diverse game mechanics. This was really a great demo back in the day.

    So is Half-life: source now the old one or is Half-life the old version? Or did they revamp both? It is a bit unclear in my library.

      The one just named “Half Life” is the definitive version now, the one that got the big update yesterday.

      Source is the same messy version as it was before and they haven’t touched it. Though it will still be in our libraries for legacy versions.

      Valve themselves recommend you ignore Source exists now.

        What is their reason for abandoning the source version? I would assume it looks better, and it would be easier to fit for today’s gaming needs

          If you ask me, the Source version didn’t include any QoL improvements or anything that might make the game more modern feeling.

          The “upgrades” are mostly new textures and effects that bugged out half the time. Plus all the gameplay bugs that it introduced.

          Even before the update most people were recommending the OG above the Source version, so it makes sense that they would update that one.
