It has been over a decade of waiting and counting, yet nothing is still clear about "Half Life 3." But according to news reports, the anticipated and long overdue title is coming out soon. Unfortunately, other sources claimed that the Valve head Gabe Newell is not as optimistic as fans about the third iteration of "Half Life."

'Half Life 3' Available On Virtual Reality Platform, Out In 2018

According to Master Herald, VR (virtual reality) gaming is the future of the gaming industry. Thus, "Half Life 3" will return with a full VR support. After the long wait, releasing "Half Life 3" in a virtual reality platform is a great way to treat fans.

For those who are not aware, VR is a computer technology that replicates an environment. It stimulates the physical presence and the environment to allow the user to interact with the characters in the game as if they are in the same dimension.

When playing in a VR platform, the interaction includes touching, hearing, seeing and even smelling. This creates a life-like experience that makes the overall gaming experience fun and exciting.

The report notes that "Half Life 3" is already on the VR platform. If this is true, "Half Life 3" will be a huge treat for the waiting fans.

Gabe Newell Not Optimistic About 'Half Life 3'

Although fans remain hopeful about "Half Life 3" the head of Valve is not as optimistic. Gabe Newell is reluctant in pushing the anticipated title.

"The only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why," Newell said per the News Independent. "But you know if you want to do another Half-Life game and you want to ignore everything we've learned in shipping Portal 2 and in shipping all the updates on the multiplayer side, that seems like a bad choice."
