They could just take the old game engine as-is, give it a new plot and art, and I would beg them to take my money.

And this is how you end with "Jaws 19: This Time It's REALLY REALLY Personal".

I wouldn't mind this, honestly. a game can be solid even on an old engine. just look at how long the Monster Hunter series had been on their old engine before overhauling with World.

This is the opposite of what Valve has always been doing, with one exception being Counter Strike.
I agree it's becoming sort of pointless to make HL3. As a fan, I'm perfectly happpy with keeping HL3 as only an asymptote and getting episode1, 2, Alyx and hopefully more.
Not if they figure out how to interact with the signals in my brain stem it won't be!
No company could ever pull off Half Life 3. This game is hyped to death before it's even announced and everyone would come in with sky-high expectations. To make matters worse, everyone would expect that game to be something different and it would be impossible to make even just half of the players happy. There's no point in creating a Half Life 3, it's a guaranteed disappointment.
