Dishonored

If it'll be on the same engine or not, I dunno. Not that that is really all that important. Half-Life will end up killing itself if it starts changing out too many core things.

I think it will kill itself if it doesn't. Half-Life was impressive all those years ago but with games like these, the bar goes higher every time. What HL has going for itself is the story. If they mess that up, it's just boring gameplay used in 90% of FPS games that's left.

what do you mean by the outsider's true identity?

Half-Life 2 (2004) plays pretty much exactly like Half-Life (1998) on the very core, yet Half-Life 2 was still declared one of the best games ever.
Half-Life doesn't need to change its gameplay to be some sort of Call of Duty clone in order to be better.

He's obviously not some guy in a leather jacket who likes to jump out at people.
His appearance is little more than a formality.
In the game he is also referred to as "The leviathan", and if you take a close look when in the void...

he's a whale? well i guess everything about him revolves around whale bones...

did you unlock all the achievements? (I'm at 32/50)

leviathan is the beast of the sea. for Catholics a depiction of it is basically the same as an image of the devil. so it's effectively a devil avatar. for Satanists he's a crown prince of Hell. in Christian demonology he's the embodiment of Envy.

Did you seriously just use CoD as an example of progress?

I kinda need help in something - you know that valve in the warehouse for the overseer's mission? I just can't find where it goes! I've passed just about everywhere on the docks and found no such 'small depot'. Google didn't help me either - all I found was 'facing samuel on the right' - which got me nowhere

Just read an article about how the sales of Dishonored has exceeded most expectations, and thusly there'll probably be a series.
