It's not an April Fools joke, that picture is much older, it's from before L4D2.

what part of it was an april fools joke do you not get
If it was made before L4D2 then that makes it even more of an April Fools Joke.

that it's not from April Fools :downs:, April Fools is a holiday consisting of pranks of April 1st. If it's not from the 1st it's not an "April Fools Joke"
[QUOTE=The Spocker;22402145]The font [i]looks[/i] different because of the perspective and blur.[/QUOTE]
Uh, no, I have a pretty good eye for this shit, and those are two very clearly different fonts. The photo isn't THAT blurry.
EDIT: There's other issues too. In the photo, the HL2:EP3 logo has a drop shadow, for instance.

It's not from a real magazine. Stop derailing the thread.

No, they are both the same. Open the second picture in a new window and look through both of them, thoroughly. They are the same.

They look the same to me, but they could be different with very intricate differences.

I have done that, and no, they really aren't. They're very close, though. I took back the "you can see more of the artwork" thing because after adjusting my monitor, I could see the whole thing, but everything else I've pointed out is still valid (and not accountable for by it being a photograph, as far as I can tell - in fact, the whole fact that it's a photograph screams "fake" because if you weren't trying to hide imperfections in your Photoshopping, you'd just take a fucking screencap).

I agree with KarmaPolice, they're clearly not the same.

Seriously? I can take pictures of my issue of the April '10 Game Informer magazine on the exact page just for you.

You can if you want, I don't care. It's just a joke article, real or not.
I know its fake but I want it to be true :smithicide:
[QUOTE=jlj1;22402804]I know its fake but I want it to be true :smithicide:[/QUOTE]
Even if it's fake, it doesn't stop us from getting the surprise.
You know what? If it's not Episode Three then I just give up on Valve.
By the way the suprise is going to be that they're not making any more games and going out of business.

The true surprise is that Gabe is going to come up on the stage and remove the fatsuit he's been wearing for all these years, flip everyone off, announce he's not making games for rude people that make fun of appearances, and walk off the stage, never returning to Valve again.
I would laugh.

Its fake
I like how E3's acronym is Episode 3, but that's always been the case

EP3 = Episode 3.
[QUOTE=Cheese123;22405270]Its fake[/QUOTE]
Oh god - No way! We didn't know this all along! :aaaaa:
I wish Facepunch had a sarcastic rating.
Another video stating that hl3 is REAL [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RNXIhccXLc&feature=related[/url] 5:50
Yet another video stating that there will three episodes making hl3 [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aLnBYEHV-4&feature=related[/url]
Video 1: August 2006
Video 2: May 2008
Neither of those are new and besides, we knew Episode 3 was being made ever since the commentary for Episode 2, it just hasn't been officially announced yet.
[QUOTE=rieda1589;22401312]From [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/cbpdd/oh_valve/"]this reddit post[/URL]:

The screenshot I got:
[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/Nm1QT.jpg[/img_thumb]
Can't see it anymore though :/[/QUOTE]
Okay, I could have just kept on lurking as an unregistered user, but this cap is too full of rubbish to ignore. Posting in the event that anyone out there still thinks this screenshot is real. Also Geocities GIFs.
[IMG]http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/675/halflife2fake1.gif[/IMG]
[B]Details to note:[/B]
• "HALF-LIFE²" - Kerning on characters
• An ever-so-slightly longer "H"
• The "²" is LARGER for [I]Episode Three[/I] than it is for [I]Episode Two[/I]
• [I]Episode Two[/I]'s lines can be contained within a boxed boundary, whereas [I]Episode Three[/I]'s lines breach that boundary.
[IMG]http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5030/halflife2fake2.gif[/IMG]
The typeface is so painfully obviously different. Look at the "O", and the thickness of the typeface. I'm also certain Valve doesn't use [I]Century Gothic[/I].
It's worth nothing that the photo's example uses a more suitable typeface.
If you're one of the people who swear on their mother's impending grave that the typeface is exactly the same, see this graphic:
[IMG]http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/6541/halflife2fake3.gif[/IMG]
• The middle line in "E" extends out to the edge
• The tail ends of "S" curve up, capped with _¯ lines, rather than ,’
• The "O" fills a perfect circle
• The "D" is slimmer, and wider
[B]And a question to ponder:[/B]
If the user could see the "Episode Three" graphic, [I]why didn't they follow the link for more information[/I]?
If you still believe that the photo/screenshot is real, you deserve an entire factory of boxes.
