The trailer uses dialogue of when Eli Vance was killed (with the new voice actor saying the line) and it's strongly implied from Halflife 2 that Morgon Freeman was in limbo for 20 years, along with teleport causing a delay in time.
My theory is that it does a deus ex machina where-by Episode 2 is cancelled out.
The developers stated "While it does take place before the events of Half-Life 2, we actually recommend that you play through Half-Life 2: Episode 2 before you play Half-Life: Alyx, for reasons that will become clear as you progress"
Technically speaking as well, the episodes were suppose to be Halflife 3, so this is more like Halflife 3.5.
Or you know... Eli Vance said the line once before, and before he said it in Episode 2?
And no, the Episodes were still using script that was all meant to be part of Half Life 2. So neither Episode 1 nor Episode 2 are Half Life 3.
I don't understand this sentence.
It's not the recording from Episode 2, it is the new voice actor delivering the line.
Though it may end up being waffle, it's not really a wacky theory, it's very obvious Halflife 2 used manipulation time right down to the very opening line of the game, "I didn't you see you get on".
The concept was most likely inspired from Quantum Leap where Sam Becket was inserted through time, just as the Gman concept himself was inspired from the X-files, a pop-culture phenomenon in the 90's.
The episodes were Halflife 3, Valve themselves stated it, it was the community who came up with "Halflife 3", failed episodic model to deliver content faster.
