[QUOTE=djgodary;23435621]Agree My point is that there's tons of other video games that deserve more respect and attention than these Half Life Series...[/QUOTE] Out. Right now. I'm serious, just please walk out the door to your left.
I will leave this piece of shit thread with pleasure... [img]http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/4/7/2395030/4204_1031692727297_1674750303_60382_8302033_n.jpg[/img]
Or you're just bad at spelling :rolleye: By the way, some concept images from Valve are actual maps that are in development, they're just painted over and such so then mappers can have a look and go, "Yeah, I'll see what I can do to it", basically. So the EP3 concept images may also be part of a map in progress (such as the picture on the right above suggests). It's hard to make something from scratch, and therefore you need a reference, and the concept images are helping to create the map image. :eng101:
Opening this thread made me insta pissed.. again.. about the fact we have no real info about ep3 at all. They should at least say that they are developing it, oh well, I'm still hoping we'll get a trailer at the end of Portal 2.
I think there will be some easter eggs and clues in Portal 2 about Ep3, like those "THE CAKE IS A LIE!" secrets in Portal 1 but harder to find. Also, Crowbar.

The concept images need to be made from an actual map before being 100% completed. It just needs to be partially completed, and then the designers 'concept-ify' the map screenshot.
Barney finally buys you that beer.
Better accuracy with weapons and such.
They really need to bring back Adrian Shephard and make him turn in to a Combine.
[QUOTE=Euphorium;23461232]They really need to bring back Adrian Shephard and make him turn in to a Combine.[/QUOTE] or in the next installment you're either a CP or a soldier, you finally regain consciousness due to X and ect ect ect
I'm starting to think you'll run in to some Half Life stuff in Portal 2.
GMan is 100% not Gordon from what VALVe says at least, they said in an interview that he is not human, thus cannot be Gordon since he is a human. One reason why it's taking so long I can guess is VALVe is adding the portals from Portal (no shit) because it's an APETURE SCIENCE BOAT. Some form of Glados will be on board (Glados is not on a boat in Portal so why should she be on it NOW?) and.. Well thats all I got. Read the story on the official wiki, it's complex as shit. VALVe knew the whole plot even when making HL1 (hence GMan: he is unknown to even us now). This is just my take, don't flame me.

[B]I WANT ADRIAN SHEPHARD BACK!![/B] I mean come on he's the perfect person to introduce, he was tasked to hunt down and kill Gordon Freeman and was sort of like his nemesis, and hes like the only person who has the same skill level as Gordon. Have Gordon piss off G-Man, and have G-Man release Adrian from stasis to stop Freeman. Also they need to finally introduce[B] Almost completely synthetic Combine Soldiers[/B], as the idea of the Combine is that they take over planets and enslave there species while slowly turning them into machines. So far the Overwatch Combine are just modified Human husks that are brainwashed intensly to follow the Combine. God Damn we need actual synths. Supposedly there was a bunch of concept on the Combine Super Soldier, for a synthetic human because it was supposed to be in the game originally, seriously it looks bad ass and awesome: [IMG]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091017235905/half-life/en/images/4/42/Combine_Synth_Elite_Soldier2.jpg[/IMG] [B]+We need Glados in there somewhere[/B] +[B]We need something about the portal gun technology in there[/B] (not Freeman using it, but at least some sort of Observation that it exists, then again the Boeralis likely contains some similair portal technology) +[B]Portal crossover in some way perhaps, as in you get to see Chell perhaps? [/B]Maybe only briefly but it would be a nice Easter Egg. +[B]ADRIAN SHEPHARD[/B] I've said it but I need to emphasize it, because it'd be awesome. +[B]RACE X[/B] It would be awesome, new monsters, plus new weapons because some of the creatures can be used as weaponry as seen in Opposing Force. I think Adrian wiped them out didn't he? Still make some way of opening a portal that brings them through (perhaps via the Boeralis) G-Man did state "prepare for unforseen consequences" and in Opposing Force he does seem hugely intent in preventing[B] Race X[/B] (showing he is clearly specifically worried about them) +[B]G-MAN HOW DOES HE WORK[/B]! Explanation +[B]Barney! [/B]Where the hell is he, we need the whole Blue Shift and Opposing Force crew to finish this shizzam off. +[B]More weapons[/B] previous episodes have been pretty barebones on new weapons. +[B]Combine Advisor fight[/B]! Probably going to happen anyway, love to see how you could fight one of those things since they can just lift you all over the friggin place. [B]-Breen![/B] What the hell happened to that fellow, supposedly he had to become part synthetic in order to get to the [B]Combine Overworld[/B], I would like to see him after his synthetic transformation. +[B]Xen or Combine Overworld[/B]. Would be great to see new planets again, Xen is pretty much impossible to go to again but the Combine Overworld would be pretty epic, to see how there civilization is. I remember exploring Xen in HL1 was pretty epic due to its abstract nature. Perhaps the Boeralis could be used as a mechanism to get to those places.

Did I say he had to fight with Freeman he could always be given the task but actually get to talk with Freeman and they could become allies. The reason I state that is because [B]Eli [/B]was about to mention that he and[B] Freeman [/B]could work together to ..... something to G-Man which I assume meant kill him or stop him in some way. The way he stated it was like he had a connection with G-Man, thus we he specifically stated that only they together could probably do whatever. I assume this was because[B] Eli [/B]and[B] Freeman [/B]both had a strong connection with G-Man as does [B]Adrian[/B].
Maybe Adrian is that deaf person you'll encounter in the game that Alyx will have a crush on and so forth. V:v:V

Technically he was never tasked to hunt down and kill Freeman.
Well you chase Gordon in Opposing Force with the intention to kill him, but at that moment he jumps into a portal into Xen. Not saying it exactly has to be Canon but he could just be given the order then and there by G-Man to stop Freeman at the idea that he is allowed out of stasis and if he doesn't he'll be put back.

Also that mission where you see Freeman is called "We Are Not Alone".
Stop being such a killjoy, whatever does it matter just bring Adrian back!
[QUOTE=Drax-Quin;23470594]Stop being such a killjoy, whatever does it matter just bring Adrian back![/QUOTE] Me too, but I don't want him to be running behind Freeman and screaming "Reload, Doc!".
Yeah that would be crappy, I mean bring him back as an actual character so he could help Freeman stop G-Man, i'd imagined he'd be pretty pissed after being in stasis for a good couple decades. Sad fact is though I remember a quote from them saying "There's nothing being built today, there's no secret Adrian Shephard project going on right now, but that's not to say we won't ever come back and tell another Shephard story"
I propose that Gabe Newell be the final boss of Episode 3. In order to defeat him, you must exploit his one true weakness, the inability to and outright hatred of releasing things on time.
I want episode 3 to have a different colour on the crowbar, blue would be cool.
NEVER! THE WORLD CAN CHANGE! But the crowbar remains the same!
Why would Gordon have a different crowbar? Nothing happened to the crowbar at the end of Episode Two.
[QUOTE=FrankWell;23474704]Why would Gordon have a different crowbar? Nothing happened to the crowbar at the end of Episode Two.[/QUOTE] Well, in Episode Two, they've changed the battery of the flashlight. And nothing happened to the suit, too.
[QUOTE=Skunky;23474818]Well, in Episode Two, they've changed the battery of the flashlight. And nothing happened to the suit, too.[/QUOTE] They'll change stuff like that for gameplay purposes. The Ep2 flashlight was changed so you could sprint with the flashlight while running from the Antlion Guardian, for instance. But changing the crowbar's color would be totally arbitrary.
I think they're gonna change it from a crowbar to a banana.
