Is Valve still going to make an announcement at GDC? - Games

[QUOTE=smurfy;20687803]I think they've been working on Portal 2 for more than four months[/QUOTE] More than 2 years. Person guy said so.

[QUOTE=Mr. Cool Gamer;20688197]It's increasingly obvious that Valve wants nothing to do with the Half-Life franchise anymore. Have you seen the recent interviews where it comes up? They carry a tone of "Why can't you people just let go of Half-Life already?". And recent evidence suggests that they are committing to one game a year and no more. We'll probably see L4D3 next year. There was even a comment by them that was to the effect of "We are not showing anything from EP3 because we have nothing to show you". There is no Half-Life game being made. They must realize how dated the design of Half-Life must be and are letting it die quietly rather than beating the dead horse. There's nothing unique about Half-Life anymore, And nobody cares about it's world and characters. There's better games and franchises out now. Face it people, Valve wants to move on and not be known as "The Half-Life Company" and Valve has other, Better game franchises now. Half-Life is dead. It's time for you all to move on and accept it.[/QUOTE] Isn't this the exact same thing someone said in a different thread? I'm having memories come and go here.

Half-Life isn't dead YET, it's just resting its eyes for a little bit. [editline]04:39PM[/editline] also boy you better not be trollin

The times are: 2:30 AM GMT 9:30 PM EST (-5) 6:30 PM PST (-8)

Screw staying up till 2:30 am

[QUOTE=Doomish;20687608]Ten bucks says Gabe stand sup, gets in front of the mic, and says the following: "Over the past few years, people have been wondering about our next entry in the Half-Life 2 Episodic saga, and we have all kept very quiet about it this whole time. Portal 2, coming out later this holiday season, was not the only thing we were working on after we finished Left 4 Dead 2 in co-operation with the previously-known Turtle Rock Studios. Please enjoy Episode 3, on shelves next week, and I hope it has been worth the wait." then he does a backflip, a cartwheel, and dives off the stage into the crowd and is carried back to his seat[/QUOTE] That would make everyone cry i would cry in... i'm crying

[QUOTE=optimusguy;20690990]Can't wait to see how Gabe will respond to that. If he even cares, though.[/QUOTE] They've been putting out promotional material for that game for about a year.
