It doesn’t seem to be for a particularly colourful Steam Deck
Headcrab botherers Valve have registered a trademark for something calledNeon Primethis week, an application filing has revealed. The application was made through the United States Patent And Trademark Office. Neon Prime’s trademark was listed as for “computer game software, electronic game software, video game software, computer game programs downloadable via the internet”. So, not VR or Steam Deck hardware then.
You’re free to speculate wildly in the comments about what Neon Prime might be, of course. So far online, I’ve seen people suggest it could be the aforementioned CS:GO operation, or aHalf-Lifecard game. One wag even said that Neon Prime backwards is Half-Life 3, but I can’t seem to make that work.
Graham dished out a Bestest Bests in hisHalf-Life: Alyx review. Yet he still wished for more chin-wagging from the game’s characters. “More promising are a handful of instances where these characters, or others, dynamically comment or react to decisions you’ve made, such as objects you’re carrying or items you’re wearing. Still, I find myself yearning for a Half-Life game that goes further, and learns more from modern linear narrative games such asFirewatch.”
No more details on Neon Prime just yet, but I’ll update you if and when I hear anything. You can check out the very few details in the trademark filinghere.
