Half-Life Alyx Final Hours - 40 Things Learned

Through the information found within The Final Hours of Half-Life Alyx, hundreds of rumors, unconfirmed leaks, and pieces of unconfirmed information were given more legitimacy. This video goes through 40 details and major points I personally learned while reading, and relates any of those details to previously unconfirmed information. Enjoy!

It's so refreshing to see valve be this transparent about their past. This is something I hope continues into the future.

[BPN]

The last 12 years of valve basically go like this
"Hey we want make a new a game can we use source 2?"
"It's not ready yet"
"we should work on it then"
*cricket noises*
"oh okay"

[cas]

Y'know, it's pretty cathartic seeing not only that almost every piece of information that leaked was something that Tyler uncovered or discussed over the past 10 years, but that Valve basically confirmed a lot of those leaks AND even expanded on them with so much more new information.

So Source 2 was the source of all this agony.

Community: "Valve don't care about half-life 3 anymore!!!"
Geoff: *Here's reasons why valve haven't made half-life 3*
Community: "perhaps we treated you too harshly"

I feel so bad misunderstanding Valve and thinking they just don't give a crap about games when in reality they have tried and failed so many things.

1:20 for 2010 that looks so groundbreaking

[commisso]

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Tyler slept through The Final Hours of HLA reveal

[jakes]

Thanks for playing my map in the background! Now I know I made it big lol

[dontworryhouston]

I will *NEVER* forgive Valve for cutting out the Cremator TWICE

[dimitary]

sooo valve officially acknowledged you exist, but they also hate you for "riling up the community for l4d3"

[bunkerdown]

15:15 Yo dawg can I get some ice cream?
Only a key full

And this is when King Batch pulled out a comically large key

[aplix]

Tyler: Yo dog can I get some half life leaks

Valve: only a lockful

Tyler: Pulls out comically large key

[ALMarkAZ]

Valve has change my opinion on their whole company after the HL:A Final Hours. Because If you take someone like Bethesda or EA
that was willing to release the BROKEN ASS GAMES. Valve actually cares that the game is in TOP SHAPE and they are willing
to sacrifice YEARS to make sure its awesome.

Open-world African L4D sounds absolutely amazing. I can't even begin to imagine how it would play.

[Wishes_for_Fishes]

I can explain that In the Valley of the Gods artbook. So I'm a graphic designer, and on all kinds of projects people may need to make presentations on said project. Hell I even had to make these in college. So maybe at some point they had to sell other employees/gabe/whoeverthefuck on the project, so they put together a high quality artbook to be like "hey we are serious about this, look at all the cool stuff we have here".
You would be shocked at the amount of amazing books and such that get printed maybe only 5 times ever and their sole purpose is to convince some corporate people to fund or greenlight something. I can guarantee that almost every one of your favorite IPs had a book like this made and you will never ever get to see it.
So this book may have been passed around the valve office to convince as many people as they could to get on the project, given valves weird structure.

Ah yes, the Comically Large Key, as opposed to the Comically Large Spoon.

[TheEngieTF]

It felt like a thousand years just to wait for a new Half Life game

Valve was ready for this

[idglet]

Love how a lot of these are stories that Tyler already broke.
