So HL2VRAI is coming soon. Probably. So I feel like I wanna give some of my predictions. Nothing too crazy honestly, like I'm not gonna be discussing the bigger lore and plot that'll unravel, but just some minor things that may happen down the line.
Benry will make an appearance, but only as a cameo or gag. Hell, he's probably not even gonna make an on-screen appearance, just a mention from one of the characters maybe. Considering how RTVS has made Benry the butt of the joke for a few years now, I'm starting to doubt that he's gonna be a real meaningful part of the show.
Tommy probably isn't gonna show up much in the show either :( He's gonna be the new G-Man, and he doesn't show his face much in the base game. I also heard from the grape vine (random tumblr post) that Baaulp didn't rlly like playing Tommy apparently?? (please don't quote me on that, i need to do more research on that) so chances are he's only gonna have a few voice lines at most.
Alyx is gonna be a fucking badass, judging by the shot of her in the trailer, and she's probably gonna be voiced by Mira. Got no proof of that but it feels like that's gonna happen, which I'm excited about!!
Coomer is probably gonna harbor some bitter resentment towards Gordon considering how he basically abandoned his world after Tommy's birthday party. I feel like it won't last though considering Coomer's friendlier personality, and still respects Gordon above all else. That's how I feel, at least.
Speaking of Coomer, I think he's gonna appear on the train we spawn in in the beginning of the game. In the trailer, we see Coomer on a train of some kind, and I mean... What other train do we know of from HL2?
Now, it's a little hard to tell whether or not the "Kleiner" we see in the trailer is actually Kleiner or Bubby, but I feel like it's gonna go either two ways. Either A: It really is Bubby and he teams up with Coomer, Alyx and Gordon in place of Kleiner, or B: It really is just Kleiner, who uncannily resembles Bubby, and that fucks with Coomer and Gordon in a big way.
All in all I don't think the entire Science Team will team up again for HL2VRAI, as much as that would be really cool to see. Even in HL2, there's a bigger cast of characters to keep track of, and even Alyx is joining their party. And adding on the points I made earlier, RTVS is most likely gonna switch things up, which I'm looking forward to regardless of the fact that I'm already pretty attached to the OG cast :")
HL2VRAI is probably gonna be way more meta considering the self aware and more subtle meta elements in HLVRAI, and the extremely meta narratives in HLAG.
The gnome is definitely gonna get mentioned at least once. I know it.
Ok that's all lolllll. Thanks for reading :]
