[QUOTE=Antimuffin;33446282]If I remember correctly, one of the Valve devs stated in an interview that these concept arts are just some concept arts made by some devs. Not project related.[/QUOTE] Valve never lie about these things. I seem to recall at one point they said they weren't working on Episode 3 but then the files turned up in DoTA2.

[editline]26th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Deremix;33445951]Hey guys, great debate you have going on here, but I have something I'd like to bring up. I don't know if someone's already brought this up before, but here it goes. Valve is up for best studio of the year, and Portal 2 is up for best game of the year at the SpikeTV VGAs. With all the announcements at it last year, even Skyrim was announced there, I foresee something great coming from Valve. I mean, it would make sense if they announced/showed off something huge there. Dota 2 and CS:GO are already close to being shipped, and they are just two small multiplayer side projects. They need to show off a large scale, single player title, and I think Episode 3 would be that title. So, I'm gonna go ahead and say I think they'll show Episode 3 at the VGAs. If not Episode 3, some other large scale project at least. I don't know, it just makes sense to me that this is where and when it would happen.[/QUOTE] That would be great but, unfortunately, I really feel like Skyrim should win GOTY.

[QUOTE=Monkeytracks;33446074]Could be seeing this stuff maybe? [THUMB]http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/11/march/mystery.jpg[/THUMB][/QUOTE] I was always thinking that might be Prospero. [editline]26th November 2011[/editline] Wasn't there some creepy video related to that art that got found a while back? Some creepy woman speaking in a thick Scottish accent?

[QUOTE=CrumbleShake;33450718] I seem to recall at one point they said they weren't working on Episode 3 but then the files turned up in DoTA2. [/QUOTE] They also appeared in Alien Swarm SDK. And it didn't mean anything. [QUOTE=Mech Bgum;33446624]i could believe it if they weren't sharing the same alien/space theme. and valve employees are so bored on their job that they're drawing some random arts just to hang it up on the wall? weird.[/QUOTE] If you have an idea of some art style, characters, concepts to make, would you rather let it be an idea or draw it? Valve has no management structure, so the employee are able to work on whatever they want.

[editline]26th November 2011[/editline] That would be great but, unfortunately, I really feel like Skyrim should win GOTY.[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter who wins GOTY, Valve is going to be there no matter what, and they'll always have a chance to show a trailer there, just like Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, and Skyrim all debuted with teasers there last year.

I wonder how they'll do the soundtrack. This series has always had a good potential for different kinds of genres. The previous had good music, but I personally think they could've done way better.

The day when I can look at SPUF/Facepunch/Any game forum with a non-joke "Half-Life 2: Episode Three" section will be the day I can die a happy man. I won't even have to play it, I'll just die knowing it's out. [editline]26th November 2011[/editline] no fuck that'd be emo shit I gotta play it before I go out

[QUOTE=Butthurter;33456963]you people definitely know how to run a mildly funny joke down to the ground its like im watching family guy all over again[/QUOTE] "This is just like that time I asked Gabe Newell to release Episode 3"

[QUOTE=brandonsh;33462443]"This is just like that time I asked Gabe Newell to release Episode 3"[/QUOTE] "Hey Gabe, can you please release Episode 3?" "Oh sure, infact I've got a copy right here and I'll-*Stomach gurgle*" "Gabe...what was that." "Oh nothing just...uuuunnghh ARRRFHKGJHFUIF" *Proceeds to eat the game*
