[release]Valve can't take a step without fans calling out questions about when Half-Life 2: Episode 3 is going to come out, or be announced, or even if Valve is thinking about it. In a recent interview, Valve marketing and PR chief Doug Lombardi confirmed that the game is certainly on the way.
Talking to AusGamers, Lombardi said: "You will ever see [more Half-Life], yes. We are not done with Gordon Freeman's adventures. I have nothing other than that to tell you today, but hang in there with us."
Half-Life is a first-person shooter series that sprang Valve to massive popularity back in 1998, praised for its use of scripted sequences rather than movie-like cutscenes, and for silent, goateed main character Gordon Freeman that regularly beat up headcrabs with a crowbar. Half-Life 2 hit stores in 2004, after a delay in 2003 due to a source code leak. Half-Life 2: Episode 1 expanded on the sequel's story in 2006, while Episode 2 did the same in 2007. Since then, almost 4 years later, there hasn't been any more Half-Life news.
Lombardi didn't necessarily say that Episode 3 is coming, so Valve could be planning to skip it for an entire new release considering the amount of time that has passed. The company is still being tight-lipped, but at least we know that Freeman will return, as if we didn't already. Just keep hanging.[/release]

Still not to sure about it being released anytime soon, but it's nice for it to at least be acknowledged for once in a long time.
I hope all this time just means they've been putting ALOT of work into it.
Well at least they said [b]something[/b].
Unless I'm mistaken, they've been reluctant to even acknowledge [b]working[/b] on something in the Half-Life universe for quite some time now.

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;28881003]I've been 'hanging in there' for how many years now.[/QUOTE]
less than Duke Nukem Forever at least.
[QUOTE=Ehmmett;28881419]The difference being I don't care about Duke Nukem Forever as much as I care about Episode 3.[/QUOTE]
EP3 will be finished by Gearbox.
If it doesn't come out this year I don't care about this game anymore.
And this year I mean it!

If it's anything Valve, it'll be DotA 2.

am i the only one in the world who does not give a fuck for dota 2 and think valve should focus on important titles
Portal 2 in a way is Episode 4 since it takes place hundreds of years [b]AFTER[/b] the events of Episode 3 so there'll be clues and stuff in there. Just be patient, I wouldn't doubt that Valve has snuck in a little surprise for us at the end of Portal 2. The only reason I'm not saying Portal 2 contains Episode 3 is that the ESRB rating is E10+

you're on facepunch and you're asking that question?
So they haven't even started working on it :smith:
[QUOTE=Im Crimson;28883421]So they haven't even started working on it :smith:[/QUOTE]
You'd be crazy to think that. I'm pretty sure they've been working on it since Ep. 1.
I think Valve isn't releasing Episode 3 until it beats Duke Nukem Forever's record.
[QUOTE=KingKombat;28883361]you're on facepunch and you're asking that question?[/QUOTE]
i have no idea what facepunch's opinion on dota 2 actually, i've seen mostly neutral responses
[QUOTE=mixshifter;28883269]am i the only one in the world who does not give a fuck for dota 2 and think valve should focus on important titles[/QUOTE]
I'm excited for the new engine improvements and Steam features, as well as the fact that I never got into DotA but wanted to for the longest time and now I'll finally be able to.
[QUOTE=Samuelgames;28881525]:what:[/QUOTE]
worth the weight was a joke
i'm assuming you've never heard of black mesa source
Real-time lighting!
