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

[UntouchedShadow]

If Breen did return in EP3, what would he be like? Still a foe, or will he have finally seen the light and switched sides.

I think out of respect of the actor though, 99% unlikely.

if he does switch sides I'm calling BS though and killing him

HL3 coming Autumn 2012.[/QUOTE]

Pretty awesome. Hopefully this isn't just more random hints/references, and actually points to a release date.

Have no idea why people keep emailing Mark about this kind of stuff. He's a writer, he doesn't have much involvement in the art.

Harrison Krix of Volpin Props finally published the write-up for his gravity gun replica prop! He laments the lack of a good reference to work from, but last year, when he went to Valve...

[quote]While I was there, I met one of their designers named Tristan Reidford who had been working on his own very detailed model of the Gravity Gun. He gave me a copy of the files to work with, and now I had the best blueprints I could possibly hope for![/quote]

It's possible that this is just a Valve designer being a Valve designer, but, you know. Speculation thread.

Either way, the write-up's a good read and the prop is amazing.

Oh boy, I sure do hope they use this model for HL3/EP3.

Sequels: Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Decay, Half Life 2

Half-Life 2
Sequels: Episode 1, Episode 2

That's 6 sequels to half-life in total.[/QUOTE]

I would hardly call expansion packs sequels

[editline]4th January 2012[/editline]

Like Battlefield 2, obviously the first sequel wasn't 2142, it was Special Forces.

[sWiftyious]

is there a source game which was recently updated?

[fruxodaily]

I'm pretty sure Breen will be linked to a combine adviser seeing as he was supposed to be put in one, he probably was the one that escaped in ep2 that on looked [sp]Eli's death[/sp]. That's the only way I see him being readjusted to the half life universe in full respect of his voice actors death.

The Gman is the good man, alyx is your wife and you have a baby called "Shlope", you finally discover that the Husband, Gordan has throat cancer and the game concludes with the combine taking over the world

[sarevokh]

There will be probably something like an ARG, it smells like an arg, at the CES in less than a week...

I can feel it!

Someone should contact the modeler the replica gravity gun creator for the highly detailed gravity gun model. And maybe put it into source?

[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;34063747]Someone should contact the modeler the replica gravity gun creator for the highly detailed gravity gun model. And maybe put it into source?[/QUOTE]

It looks incredibly high-poly, would it even work in Source? :v:

[QUOTE=brandonsh;34064014]It looks incredibly high-poly, would it even work in Source? :v:[/QUOTE]

It will probably be okay since some of the surfaces not going to be seen in view model can just be cut down in terms of poly count(though I don't actually know since I'm not a modeler)?
