"muh tech demo" is something that's been flung around for eons at this point, ATLEAST since HL2, and I refuse to see it as real criticism anymore. Why should I even care when most if not all of the people saying this haven't even played the game?
There is a comment saying "when I watched the game" and all the people agreeing are saying it's unmemorable and generic, when they watched it, and that VR is still $1000. People have made up their mind on Alyx and refuse to ever actually give it a fair chance, or realize you could get a headset for a hundred bucks

Christ these people. Honestly I understand not having given Alyx a shot when it came out, but VR is a lot more affordable now and there always is the no VR mod, which I wouldn't. Honestly HL2VR is even better in my opinion, but that doesn't change that HLA is probably the most polished VR game and one of the best for sure.
 
I don't think we have a Portal thread, so I'll put this here since they share a universe.

Honestly? Probably a much better fucking choice than the previous picking of Jar Jar Abrams.

Also, calling it now: a Portal movie would probably have some kind of ending zinger either showing Black Mesa or some Combine shit. Unless they decide to completely forgo the Half-Life attachment for some reason.

That would be a rather poor choice to make, unless they intend on making a Half-Life movie and tease it that way. The two games sharing the same universe is cute, but it's clear they're not meant to collide directly with one another, completely different moods and all of that. Although a simple mention of Black Mesa in dialogue would be harmless.

That would be what I'm thinking, yes. Valve has historically shown prior interest in a Half-Life movie before, it was part of the the partnership they had with JJ's company Bad Robot which still has produced no fruit. I'm assuming if they go for Portal now, they'd want to eventually do Half-Life as well. It could be as simple as a post-credit scene cutaway to a random desolate, barren flatland and a headcrab walks past or some shit. They could keep the tones separate and not directly collide with this, too.
This talk of movies is reminding me again how much of a FUCKING MISSED OPPORTUNITY IT WAS that VALVE FUCKING CUCKED US FROM AN ADULT SWIM TF2 SFM SERIES BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO HIT DEADLINES. FUCK I'm STILL MAD ABOUT THAT

I think we will get Half Life 3 before we get a Portal movie. Also, pigs will fly before any of that happens.
 
I am a bit bothered by how many RtB Redux spin offs they keep making, they announced the multiplayer spin off Arena over 3 months ago...why? These aren't full time devs with a ton of money, they are purposefully stretching themselves thin for no good reason, no one wanted or begged for a multiplayer mode this instant, save that shit for after all the Divisions are out and done with.

The DNF Restoration Project did the same shit, where they focused on the multiplayer for...reasons (I think because they didn't know what the fuck they were doing so they decided to drag things out so people wouldn't catch on that they can't develop the levels after the initial Lady Killer levels).

Look at any of the other big mod projects, like the Elder Scrolls overhauls/remakes. Trannies like  saying that they're working on something to get the initial asspats, but  actually working on something cuts serious time into more important things like their gooning and struggle sessions.
