Half Life 3 general discussion - EVERYTHING FROM VALVE IS AN ARG

[Igoreso.spb]

This thing is simply very old. IMO that's probably not the case now.

Well, they could still be in early development, trying to get things together, and are not ready for their announcement yet.

[Deremix]

Just a quick reminder, the "Call for Communication" group is now all over gaming sites, including The Escapist, Rock Paper Shotgun, Eurogamer and much more.

Expect some word soon. And if you haven't already, please join the group: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/messagetovalve/announcements/detail/1424495826526209385[/url]

Going faster than Operation Crowbar! :v: -no offense-

it was confirmed that a teaser trailer for ep3 was going to be shown after the end credits of ep2
but it was removed because it wasnt fit to be watched after a dramatic scene because it was "too action packed" and that they wanted to prevent showcasing stuff that may get removed or completely rewritten[/QUOTE]

Random zombies appear and say

So dramatic

Well they did this with Portal 2 ending. Turret opera.

Then Turrets start singing a weird song,

Then Door opens, Dramatically. SUDDENLY A WILD COMPANION CUBE APPEARS

Well maybe they have been throwing the story up in the air for the past 4 years :V

[QUOTE=Gamerman12;34260643]Throwing out something to everyone:

Awhile ago, I contacted Gabe during the [highlight]Potato ARG[/highlight], asking about pre-order bonuses for Portal 2 on Steam. Sadly, he wasn't in the office at the time because he was sick, and had an automatic reply on hand, which stated:

Note the complaint line, going to Marc, as in, Marc Laidlaw, Half-Life's WRITER. I'm making a blind assumption here, but maybe they just haven't made any progress in the writing, and that's why they don't want to make any announcements, because they don't know what to do with the story.

Take as you will.[/QUOTE]

that was for portal 2, not half life 3. Also, "not dead yet" is actually "everything is fine" according to the wiki.

Combine Overwiki just posted this... What the actual fuck, I'm glad they made some clothes for advisors after all. Also, it's Episode 2 concept, so calm down.

EDIT:
So I found a source for it, its from Ted Backman's Facebook from October 31, 2011, a study for EP2. [url]http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150368372514568&set=a.25795809567.32035.798729567&type=3&permPage=1[/url]

Holy fucking shit. UNDRESSED ADVISOR FROM EP3!

I'm kind of grossed out now.

[Tulio]

[QUOTE=Gamerman12;34261520]Wait, where the fuck? When did they post this and why? Where and when did this come from?
[/QUOTE]

I guess it's Ted Backman's work for Episode 2 since he's known for making suggestive monster designs. I'll post more info when once they respond.

[Deremix]

Damn it. Oh well.

From the looks of that picture, Advisors are bloated, completely fucked up humans. *notice what looks like their limbs cutoff*

Creepy as fuck.

Already read about it on his Facebook page for the picture. Thanks Overwiki source.

[QUOTE=nightlord;34257661]No, it's canon. All the games are canon until Valve does something which says overwise.[/QUOTE]

It's pretty common knowledge that only the games made by valve are canon to the storyline because Blue Shift and Opposing Force were made be Gearbox Software

To the right of the tongue/proboscis thing, that dark dot, Is that maybe some sort of eye?

Also, with this picture and what we've seen of them ingame, the Advisor seems like it was some sort of bi-pedal creature at one point, but became too reliant on technology.

[Moupi]

if you look at its "spinneret" or whatever it looks an awful lot like an anus

Yeah, that's an eye. Seems like maybe this is closer to the Combine's original species, because it does look like it used to be bi-pedal.

Very fitting, in fact it sounds a lot like the choir part of "Dark Interval" in EP2.

Speaking of which, I think that will become a basic motif for EP3, because of the big thing that happened. You could say it would be come the Vance family's theme song.

Inb4 L4D3 boycott

[Ctrl+Alt+Llama]

Oh now you've done it. You've only gone and encouraged Valve to make another L4D.
