Half Life 2 Episode 3 Discussion

[Gabe Newell]

[QUOTE=Mr.face;29391648]dumbass, the story line of half life is the most entertaining part of the series, adding call of duty aspects to half life will be valves worst decision.[/QUOTE]
Sarcasm.

[QUOTE=Enad;29389606]I just hope it has Lamar in it, that is all.[/QUOTE]

But Lamar jumped into that rocket in Episode 2?

I believe this was from that new portal 2 documentary, or somthing?

This scares the living bejesus oudda me.[/QUOTE]

Fuck what?
I wouldn't want Episode 3 to be co-op. It would ruin HL for me.
The fun part of it is the fact that it IS singleplayer, it's an immersive experience with a great story.

"Isolated" as in you're isolated in both portal 1 and 2, you are stuck underground in test chambers. Therefore it is an "isolated single-player experience".

Maybe ep3 will be a huge arctic free-roam game :v:

Snowmobiles and polar bears.

Hopefully the arctic conditions and the possible shipwreck will force Valve to develop dynamic water flow.

They wanna add Multiplaer/Co-op to Max Payne 3 now as well.

I hate when game developers make a stupid suggestion without asking the fans.
It's like: I know your co-workers might say it's a cool idea, mostly cause if they say "No" they will be scared of being fired, but come on... atleast ask US!

Since when the fuck do video game companies have to consult with the fan base before making a game?

The majority of any fan base is usually fucking retarded. If Valve asked the fans about what to do with EP3, a lot would say, "PUT PORTAL STUFF IN IT LOL LOL LOL," and all the MLP faggots would probably ask for magical flying ponies that shoot rainbows out their dick to be put in the game.

[Mr. Agree]

Valve, why you tease me so? :frown:

Space? SPAAAAAAAACE! Space space space.

Spin-off co-op game with Wheatley and Lamarr, calling it now.

So, 5 years left.

I agree. For instance, Sega should listen more to the Sonic fans.

We're going to get hats in EP3.

if there's no coop/mp there's no reason for hats lol

[QUOTE=Bullet100;29418916]We're going to get hats in EP3.[/QUOTE]

Episode 3 will not have Multi player at all, the only reason portal 2 has coop is because it's god damn puzzle game.

The next person to suggest hats is getting shot out the airlock.

EDIT: oh and how do you know so much about EP3 when the only thing we know is the concept art? You must be a spy.

Can't. We clogged the airlock with piles of hats and people screaming "SPAAAAACE!"

Because Valve know that Coop play is fun when you have problems to solve, but Half-Life is more story driven than puzzle solving, so it just wouldn't work well.

I'm not ruling out the possibility of Episode 3 Deathmatch however, that would most certainly contain an abundance of hats.

Go animate isn't very good software.

[The DooD]

Gordon Freeman, are you space?

...

[The DooD]

I suppose you could say Wheatley should have prepared for unforeseen consequences... in space.

[Canned Induvidu]

whens the next vidya game convention where Valve will be there?

I guess thats the next thing to wait for.

[FrankWell]

The only thing I'm worried about concerning EP3/HL3 would the music, Kelly Bailey had a very specific style which is very different from Mike Morasky's (not saying Mike isn't good, he's great, just different), but I'm hoping it will be just as good.

[QUOTE=Coffee;29419272]Go animate isn't very good software.[/QUOTE]

You think thats a bad example? Why does HL keep getting touched by robo voices?
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxXTbpx1qgc[/media]

Seriously though, about the sound in Episode Three, how do we know both the music and voice acting had not been done in advance?

The other thing is I think Lamarr is stuck in space, unless she can pilot that rocket, and for some reason I imagine Valve doing an adventure that takes place in space, why would both HL2 and Portal 2 have characters headed up that way? BUT what if there is a space game after DOTA 2 but before Episode Three? To me, that would be like DAMN! Then again, I have to suspect the Borealis dock in Portal 2 has to indicate what is around the bend.

I mean who does not see all the technical involved with Episode Three? In the arctic environment you got rapidly moving wavy water, stormy weather effects, waves will try to crash you into the ship's walls if your not careful where you step when they go over, not to mention dangerous icy surfaces along edges, having to dodge falling snow that breaks the ground in front of you, not to mention having to fight those telekinesis buggers. If anything, I see Episode Three on the same build as Portal 2, if not, a more advanced build.

[MarioMan10CP]

Episode 3 will hopefully be that awesome.
