Well, the Citadel is present, Alyx is present, Eli is present, City 17 is present, Xen flora and fauna is present, Vortigaunts are present, i'd say with 100% certainty that HLA is within the canon of Half-Life 1, Half-Life 2, etc. That's an imaginative theory you've got there though. :O Maybe...

The hell? the games do have a set canon, that's why Black Mesa is still referenced in HL2, or the Test Chamber, or why Barney says he's from Black Mesa, i'm not even sure what to say to that. I'm so confused, all i did was note some (i thought) interesting things from the trailer. O.o

Wow. Can you believe that we're actually seeing new Half-Life material again? after how many years? i'm so stoked and can't wait to see City 17 in the virtual space, it's gonna feel even more immersive, more tense, more unnerving, more terrifying. Is it Half-Life? or is it now Virtual-Life? haha...

Isn't Innsbruck the University Gordon went to?

Maybe so, and believe me, I enjoy humor and wit at the right time, but I kinda made this thread to ask a question expecting an answer. Not many seem to reply to the threads these days.

Eeh... Kinda was expecting more from a staff member. :/ I clearly conveyed that I was referring to the Overwatch Dispatch in HL2, voiced by Ellen Mclain. So your response is quite almost troll-like, not very funny, either.

Indeed. And we know Valve isn't that kind of story teller, the best way would be to start with a Gman monologue.

Is it like a robot? a human intelligence similar to GLaDOS? and does it reside in a hidden chamber somewhere in a Citadel, waiting for us to eventually find it? interestingly after the Citadel is destroyed it's voice is much clearer.

I've always wanted to see the full scene of Alyx falling from the train! The battle scene was also interesting.

Well, it's possible that Gman will have 'more' control over Gordon since the 'heart to heart' scene, In fact I think he may become more 'antagonistic'. If Eli's death wasn't the first obvious sign of it, I don't think he's going to be so patient when our time comes around again. While that's...

Me personally, I'd like a long 'Gman Sequence' like the intro to HL2, and revealing that after EP2's ending we we're put back in stasis, especially since Gman regained control of Gordon, and this could give Alyx time to mature, physically and mentally, grieve normally while keeping true to her...

I mean, we've got evidence, that JIRA leak, Doug Lombardi reminding the community to 'Hang In There'. So it's development and progress isn't really a rumor anymore, from what we can tell with the data collected, strings of code and function related to HL3 in DOTA 2 and Portal VR, it's been a...

Ravenholm for me was creepy, Nova Prospekt was disturbing and chilling, just the idea of those poor citizens that boarded the Nova Prospekt express and arriving here to meet a fate worse than death, mutilation, lobotomy, dehumanization. Ugh.

Haha, but seriously though, it could be true, breengrub twitter just has me rethinking the Half-Life story. Canon or not, I could really see it as being the lore of the Combine. Some bits make no sense yet others just connect it all perfectly.

She's a valuable asset that they cannot lose, if Alyx gets killed the game-over screen appears, and Gman has made it very clear that Ms Vance is almost more valuable than the Freeman now. Why did he 'pluck' her from Black Mesa anyway?

What if he was a Shulathoi' that hatched and took on Gman's form to deceive Gordon to direct him and the Combine towards the Borealis?

I wonder. Probably centered around the Borealis and GLaDOS as the new antagonist, and Chell as a new Allie for the resistance.

Do you think the game will get a major overhaul for the Source 2 engine? maybe even, better? Could it be as dramatic a jump through time like Half-Life 1 to Half-Life 2? What do you think or hope the engine assets will make possible? fluid and particle physics? cloth physics? Okay, to be...

With the menacing and intimidating depiction of these grub-like creatures, it's easy to assume them to be of the higher Combine hierarchy, or even the true face of the Combine, but Advisors are synths like gunships, dropships, striders, stalkers, etc, right? Observe the dramatic differences of...

I didn't notice that, good catch. I would love to see what world it came from, it's brutal how the Combine just takes living things and mutilates them, binding them physically and mentally to their servitude. Breen really believed this was our path to the next stage of evolution? he was a fool...
