Andrew Reiner hinting towards Half Life 3? - Games

[quote]Andrew Reiner, executive editor of Game Informer is hinting towards big news for their February Issue cover reveal. He claims that there will be 5 game reveals in the issue, one being the cover story. "The most popular cover guesses are TES: V, Mass Effect 3, and Half-Life 3." One Twitter user, LeonSmrgshboard asks Andrew whether or not the big reveal has been previously announced. Andrew tells him that "It is a secret I have been keeping since 2009." Both TES: V and Mass Effect 3 were announced at the VGAs last night! And while I may be alone in this thinking, 2009 seems just around the right time-frame for HL3's development. While Browsing Andrew's twitter I have come across some quite intriguing notes: -Big news coming on [url]www.gameinformer.com[/url] tomorrow. -@MrTissueBox We have 5 huge reveals in the next issue. You'll find out what they are soon! -@LeonSmrgshboard I've been keeping this secret since 2009. And you'll find out our cover soon enough. Whether or not this is Half Life 3, I do find it interesting that Andrew mentioned it as a popular possibility. Plus, with 5 games being revealed, could this be our moment?

Doubt it very much, but hoping so much that it's true :saddowns:

Unlikely. Keeping an open mind about it though.

Not gonna happen, I feel better not working myself up for it and just believing it wont happen that way I cannot be disapointed :)

There is no Half-Life 3 yet, Next game will be Episode 3 and maybe more episodes, and then if something bad happens to Gordon Freeman then Bam Half-Life 3.

[quote]2009 seems just around the right time-frame for HL3's development.[/quote] man what an awful typo for 2900

It can't be Half Life 3... Half Life 2 was fundamentally different from Half Life, we won't see a Half Life 3 until the story changes enough to warrant it. For now it is just a continuation of the Half Life 2 story, so it will still be called Episode 3.

Optimistic

Gameinformer was the same ones who did the exclusive stuff about portal 2, right?

[QUOTE=PieClock;26665590]Gameinformer was the same ones who did the exclusive stuff about portal 2, right?[/QUOTE] Yes. And they've also announced Dota2.

[QUOTE=WhatTheEf;26665609]Yes. And they've also announced Dota2.[/QUOTE] And a lot other things.

[QUOTE=Patcher;26665620]And a lot other things.[/QUOTE] But especially Valve stuff. Or at least the major releases have been announced by them.

i want to believe

since half life games seem to go further forward in time, i think halflife might become like a superhero comic. it just seems more and more like bullshit the further you go through rough estimates half life year 2000 ish tech, maybe a bit more+ teleportation half life 2- 2000 ish technology combined with 2020ish technology half life 3- 2020ish technology (assuming earth learns from the combine) combined with anywhere between 2050ish tech and 2500 tech half life 4- whatever half life 3s year of tech combined with 3000 ish tech first half life= little story, bullets 2nd- bullets and pulse weapons, attempted story 3rd- pulse weapons and lasers, story 4th- OMG WTF LAZORS, over the top story 5th (estimated date of release, the time period between 3 and 4) UBER HAX GUNSORZ AND ANIME STYLE STORY

Interesting but unlikely. Must NOT get hyped. Oh fuck got hyped.

:holy: [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] Half Life 3: Portal 2. I bet :10bux:. [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] Thanks for the boxes.

[QUOTE=jack254;26665955]first half life= little story [/QUOTE] :frog:

[QUOTE=MasterG;26665317]No way. Then again, I could imagine Valve doing Episode 3 + Half-life 3 in one package. Just the kind of crazy shit they'd do.[/QUOTE] Maybe they mean Episode Three, they're just saying Half-Life 3 because the general public probably wouldn't make the distinction.

Goddamnit Valve, stop it! Reading this article and thread it's like it has to be that, but I don't want to get worked up! Please don't be HL3.

It's not. [url]http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/12/13/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-coming-next-issue.aspx[/url] GameInformer, I am disappoint.
