Half Life 2 Episode 3 Discussion

[howling techie]

I would never would of thought that Duke Nukem would be out before HL2:EP3. I know the date for DN:F has been out for a while, but it still hasn't quite sunk in.

[QUOTE=masterburner;27709074]I don't care what kind of media they release. Just a hammer screenshot with "ep3_borealis" in the caption bar and empty viewports would be enough to satisfy me (and probably hundreds of other fans) and prove to me that this isn't vaporware.[/QUOTE]

That isn't an official piece of media release though is it.

[RedDemon]

Perhaps they are working on source 2.0? *crosses fingers*

Does it really matter? Nope. You just wanted some evidence they were working on it, now accept you are wrong.

[ewitwins]

*sigh* Episode Three is the next Duke Nukem :I

[RaikohZX]

Well, Episode 3 is going to be epic if I have to fly there in my Errorcopter:

(Taken from my playthrough just a few minutes ago -Steam suddenly downloaded the textures to Episode 2 AFTER I beat and quit the game. :v:)

[manrayer88]

Dmm!

[Hell-met]

I expect the borealis to be scary as fuck.

I also expect some xen/combine environments.

fuck its been 4 years

[Chonch]

I don't think we'll be seeing Xen for a long time, if at all.

[myhairisass]

Episode 3 will be TF2 hats

Your name fits to your posts.

Jesus balls Valve, any media will do. Even if you throw us a MS Paint made picture with a black background and white text saying EP3 we will be excited.

I assume this is late, but enjoy if you haven't read this.

[Z Overlord]

Seriously Valve, just confirm Episode 3 was not shelved indefinitely (or if it was,say so).

Just so much as a logo or another vague snippet of artwork would be nice too.

A flood of people comparing EP3 Borealis to Leak Borealis.

But it is there.

I can't take it anymore...

Something interesting I thought of a while ago, not sure if anyone else has thought of it, but I was thinking... the start of EP1 and EP2 involve you starting off with no weapons right? Obviously this is for newbies that haven't played in a long while or it's their first time playing. Kinda like a agmeplay tutorial I suppose.

For Valve to do that though they'd have to wrap the whole tutorial idea/lost-your-weapons-idea around some sort of believable story... right? For example in EP2 you supposedly "lost" your weapons because your train went to shit from that explosion. I'm wondering how they'll implement this sort of tutorial for EP3. Maybe the game starts off with White Forest being invaded, you wake up in rubble and all of a sudden you've lost your weapons? Well that sounds really fucking stupid but I hope you get my idea.

[QUOTE=Fort83;27811165]Valve might be working on Prospero instead of Ep3 at the moment, Gabe said in 2006 that he wanted to resume work on it after TF2 was completed... no news on if he has or not, could be top secret[/QUOTE]

No more new titles. I just want ep3, once that's out Valve can do whatever they want, no l4d, l4d2, portal 2, dota 2, JUST GIVE US EP3 FOR NOW, OTHER TITLES LATER.
