Your entire gaming business is merely a farce: a spot the place individuals collect to not play video games however to hope for brand spanking new ones. It’s the last word meeting of tinfoil hatters, who predict, decrypt, and huff and puff the hopium. And this time, it’s the HL and GoW followers doing it collectively.
After Geoff Keighley, the host of The Recreation Awards, shared two cryptic photos portraying some kind of demonic portal and a desert in the midst of nowhere, followers have been fast to conjure up hype. For what? Nobody appears to know, however some suppose it’s a brand new God of Conflict sport that’s to be introduced on the upcoming TGA.
There’s quite a bit to again this up: the portal has numerous fantasy creatures which are harking back to the final two video games, and a chest plate on it’s strikingly just like one Kratos wears in God of Conflict: Ragnarok. The portal is in additional methods than one borne out of the fantasy style, which is tough to attach with Half-Life. However that hasn’t stopped its keen followers.
Leaping on the second picture shared by Geoff, the one displaying only a desert in California (that curiously accommodates the title of the street working via it, Yucca Mesa Highway) Half-Life followers are satisfied that is purple scorching desert proof that HLX goes to be introduced at The Recreation Awards. I imply, Half-Life begins in a desert and a facility referred to as Black Mesa, so that is as clear minimize because it will get? Proper? Possibly. Most likely not, although.
Geoff Keighley is understood for sharing photos which are oddly just like numerous video games, often performed to generate hype and pleasure for annual occasions just like the Summer season Video games Fest or The Recreation Awards. Generally these are precise teases of what’s to come back, however often find yourself being one thing fully completely different to what followers imagined.
HL followers are further wanting to consider something and grasp at any straws they will attain for, given how a lot hype was generated for Half-Life 3 in earlier weeks. This hypothetical ultimate sport within the 27-year-old sequence hasn’t been talked about extra ever since HL2 Episode 2 got here out, so I can perceive the followers who’re determined to get closure on one of many greatest cliffhangers within the business’s historical past.
The Recreation Awards goes to offer us a ton of excellent bulletins, that a lot is bound, because it does yearly. Whether or not or not that’ll find yourself being a brand new God of Conflict or Half-Life (and even each) is anybody’s guess. However I believe it’s secure to say that no, Geoff didn’t simply reveal these two video games to us.
Or perhaps he did?
