July We kicked off July with Geoff Keighley’s look at ‘The Final Hours of Half-Life Alyx’. While the documentary had plenty of details on Valve’s latest, it also shed some light on projects of old. Left 4 Dead 3 was in the works in 2013, and we nearly got a L4D-inspired Half-Life 3 that would’ve been designed around replayability. Both projects were stopped in their tracks by the limitations of the Source 2 engine. Red Dead Online players had their own lack of content to deal with as they had been waiting since December for something to do. Rather than hang about, though, they whipped up a fashion contest themed around the travelling circus. Why? Because they were “all clowns for believing [they’d] get an update”.
