Take a gander at the tremendous difference in fourteen years of graphical fidelity below.

Gander at technology this way!

Half-Life 3 is Real

Is Valve trolling yet again, or is this confirmation?

At this point in space and time, if anyone from Valve uttered the phrase “Half-Life 3″ the entire internet as we know it would implode upon itself and break the space time continuum, truly allowing 2012 to live up to the Mayan’s expectations.

They could be up to it yet again, or this could be concrete evidence that Half-Life 3 does in fact exist.

UPDATE #2: The website Black Aperture (here) has been updated… with a 3. So, today’s a day for HL3!

For one week only, the entire industry looks at the Los Angeles Convention Center, where the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) takes place and every major publisher and developer collectively make announcements and show off new product.

Valve, similar to Rockstar and Bungie, are typically low-key at the event. Even this year, they simply have a booth and are not taking press appointments, which leads to the assumption that no major announcements will take place.
