Half-Life:Episode Three | We've Got Hostiles Official Trailer

[@Animux.Studios]

hope i don't get chased by valve unless its for a good reason. support the channel on my patreon: www.patreon.com/animux

[@alexandredominguez4125]

Nah, it's not like them to get into trouble with copyright issues and other bullshit - we're talking about Valve, not Games Workshop. The only time they've intervened, I think, was for Black Mesa, just to get the word Source removed from the title. So at worst, if they intervene now, it'll be to tell you to remove the number that's more than two and less than four😅. On a more serious note, I don't think you have anything to worry about. And for the trailer I was expecting this trailer to be a slap in the face, but not of this intensity, and now I think I'm looking forward to this episode more than the official announcement of Half Life 3. Really excellent work Animux.

[@AudibleFist]

If they told you to stop so you could work on it under them would you do it?

[@alexandredominguez4125]

@@AudibleFist Except what about the way the episodes will be broadcast? Will they be free like on youtube, or behind a paywall, or behind a paywall for say two weeks and then free on youtube? This is a detail that needs to be taken into account, because we don't want to repeat the same mistakes that Games Workshop made before the opening of Warhammer+.

Indeed some of the Marines at the beginning were still clueless of thier objectives till they received direct orders

[@eidoneverchoosen1171]

@Animux.Studios my dad who served in the marines in that period before he resign when his tour ended said those marines can refuse to obey the orders to all everyone and take down there commanders. Yes this means the risk of being killed by your brothers is high. Yet my dad said the US military is to up hold protecting the constitution of the USA and defending the American people from anyone and anthring foreign and domestic enemies alike.

[@SwedishEmpire1700]

[@Akcd11r2002]

I'd like to think the grunt who clearly had a crisis of morality and ultimately sided with duty; let her go for a few seconds so that she would think she was getting saved, and had a rush of happiness and euphoria... then a shot to the brain stem was an instant off. IOW he helped her go happy, or, happy enough, making the best out of a bad situation.

[@Animux.Studios]

interesting enough when you put that way

[@ercanalmaih]

This feels much more like "Half Life" than upgraded combine soldiers growling around and the atmosphere feels like it too. Thank you so much for your effort.

[@TheYellowMan4]

Yeah, I agree. The Combine soldiers in Half-Life Alyx (since it is still early of the Combines occupation) still have emotional like laughter and the grunts joke around (and another fact the citadel isn't finished yet so it only says "permanent relocation" not off-world). In Half-Life 2, the Combine still has consciousness (as seen on the radio at Nova Prospekt) but doesn't show emotion that much (when thought they still go "Uhh..." Like the grunts). But in Half-Life 1, these are just Marines Yet they don't show much emotion for some reason. Their voicelines show it, but their actions don't. but it was early in games, so it makes sense.

[@Animux.Studios]

You're very welcome, I tried to capture that.

[@metatrontf]

HOLY SHIIIIT. It’s 6 am and I was going to watch some videos in bed before sleeping. When this was the first pop-up, I was excited, BUT THE MORE TIME PASSED, THE MORE HYPED I GOT. When I tell you that towards the end I had to sit the fuck up and bring my fingers to my forehead because of the disbelief… You’ve outdone yourself IMMENSELY. The quality improves each year, so of course it was natural WGH would be so high quality… but nothing could’ve prepared me for this. Absolutely UNREAL. The time, LOVE, and effort you’ve put into this is mind boggling. First, seeing the story from another person’s POV drives home just how terrifying the situation is. I really felt the female scientist’s terror, seeing all the scattered corpses and went “Oh, no…” when I saw the HECU uniform. You see some humanity from the grunt, but he still shot her mercilessly. Sad. And goddamn, the action. Gordon looks so fucking unhinged in 2:32. He looks unhinged and murderous in general. Your Gordon has been stoic, but he has shown emotion and distress in the first episodes. He’s been human. But I think the HECU will turn him into an animal. I think the sound the scientist and soldier heard was Gordon, and he’ll come from the dark and obliterate that soldier. I think seeing his innocent colleagues get put down like animals, as if they were worthless, will bring out that dark side, AND I AM HERE FOR IT. And oh lord, we also see a scientist fighting alongside a security guard? OMG, SO MUCH IS HAPPENING!!!! I HAVEN’T BEEN THIS EXCITED FOR A VISUAL MEDIA SINCE LIKE GODZILLA VS KONG. LIKE THIS IS CRAZYYY. I can’t contain my excitement. I am so becoming a Patreon supporter after this, the effort you put into this is insane. I can’t stress enough how high quality this is. This genuinely looks like a tv show, IT’S CRAZYYY. I hope you don’t mind my excitement, it’s just that, goddamn, this is so well-made it’s astonishing. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK, I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS!!

This was worth the wait. I'm happy to see your giving us the blue shift story in this as well. With how much they expanded on captive freight and focal point in the remake theres a lot of good stuff to work with in terms of story on that end. I'm guessing if you are able cover the opening or barneys story as well as gordon's first encounter with the HECU all in one episode this must be shaping up to be a long one. I will be sure to get the pop corn out for this release.

[@Animux.Studios]

all i can confirm is that will Barney included in the series but no spoilers 😄

[@mavrik2007]

Looks like we’ll be getting actually tactical HECU marines. I’m excited for this.

[@KingPBJames]

I know you're already very far into production on this episode, but it's not impossible to show how Gordon is able to carry more than one gun at a time. I once hiked while carrying 3 guns and a lot of ammo by using slings and a backpack. I looked a bit silly and wouldn't have fit in an air duct, but I'd like to see Gordon have more than just his plain suit. The MP5 and SPAS could easily be slung on Gordon's front & back respectively, and the Glock holstered in a duty belt taken from a dead guard or storage. Now that the military are here he could take one of their tactical vests too.

[@Animux.Studios]

there is a clip where he's carrying multiple weapons but when it's to vest it wouldn't make sense because the Suit is already bullet proof and the vest won't fit due the size of the Suit.

[@KingPBJames]

@Animux.Studios Yes that's a good point about the harness not fitting. Really looking forward to this episode!

[@BlackHandYoutube]

[@Animux.Studios]

Thank you

[@omega1397]

people think it's cold but I personally think it adds depth and humanity to this HECU guy, that he let this scientist feel relief and hope at being rescued before he killed her, instead of complete abject terror at realising that her "rescue" team were there to slaughter everybody.

[@Animux.Studios]

interesting enough when you put that way

[@AlexQuinn-f2r]

Personal headcanon is the HECU detachments sent to Black Mesa were expendable units and to be detained, quarantined and exterminated at off-site holding locations once all the facility witnesses were interrogated or killed- considering the black ops involvement it wouldn't be out of the question the government would take a total "air-tight" approach to the containment of the resonance cascade and subsequent events- at least in their original plans where the incident was considered only significant enough for a rapid cleanup effort Admittedly this is my attempt to justify why they sent marines into a contaminated zone without any sealed or filtered PPE (exposed arms, hands and neck and no chemical or biological protection besides the PCV and mask, let alone radiation shielding)

[@Animux.Studios]

Very well said

[@slothysfm1834]

Dammmmnnnnn wow this looks amazing man can't wait to see the marines, Gordon and Barney in action man keep going! I also love how the Marines have the MP5 AND M4 it's seriously genius to just add both as to fit the military vibe!
