All I can say is that I expect HL3 or Ep3 or whatever to be EVEN BETTER than HL2 and HL2 Beta if they were combined. Or at the very least, be another breakthrough in video games just like HL2 was. Speaking of HL2, I think I'm gonna play through it again.
I'm calling it now. When they actually do announce HL2:Ep3 / HL3 / Whatever they want to call it, they'll be like "We're glad to finally announce Half Life 2 Episode 3! It will be released [I]one week from now[/I]."

Most likely gonna be an ARG, just so they can fuck with us
Wow I would take a shitty HL2 mod finishing up the story for HL than on a "brand new engine, with brand new physics puzzles" It better be longer than HL2 for the time they took on it I really am not so much interested in the physics puzzles or the gunplay as much as I am getting closure on the story

I'm glad valve takes their time making half life games instead of releasing rehashes like the recent CoD games.

Sounds kinda optimistic but I think the next Half Life will be the same length as HL2 and just as amazing.

Am I the only person who actually played ricochet when it was bundled for free with HL1 and found it to be a bit of fun?
No one really read the article everyone is totally unprepared for ricochet2, also all he his saying is that the best is to come, bare with us, we haven't let you down as much as we made your wallets cum [noparse]:D[/noparse]
I'd honestly prefer an entirely new sequel (Half Life 3) rather than an episodic sequel. The way valve works, we'd be getting massive amounts of content rather than the smaller (excellent nevertheless) additions to the series.
I assume they're waiting so long so they can do their best on it. For all we know it could be the best game ever released.
Here's a metaphorical version of how EP3 will be released. You'll be just chilling on the couch when suddenly the ceiling will explode and Gabe will backflip into the room through the newly formed hole. And before you'll be able to say half a word, he'll punch you in the face with brass knuckles and jump through the window, catching onto a rope suspended from a helicopter and immediately fly away. Afterwards you'll go to the nearest mirror to see how badly your face got fucked up and you'll see that the knuckles left an imprint saying "EPISODE 3 RELEASED". Short version: Shock and awe.
Seeing as they want to make sure the release date, they will probably announce it some month before completion. Then delay it because they wanted to add an additional character.

I think that the company is very persnickety. They are perfectionists. They probably have been working on this project, but don't want to get people too hyped up if they have to continue working on it.
Fuck Episode 3. It needs to be Half Life 3 at this point. To wait this long for a short episode game would piss me off. [QUOTE=Van-man;34806967]Are you terminally ill or something?[/QUOTE] as you grow up games definitely get less appealing.
[QUOTE=Soldier32;34808511] as you grow up games definitely get less appealing.[/QUOTE] I disagree. Maybe as you grow up they do, but I had as much fun playing FF4 in '98 as I did playing FF12 in '06 as I did playing Witcher 2 in '12.
I feel it's gonna be a disappointment in some way.. to me.
i understand what they're trying to do by making sure it's not hyped but they're going about it in an entirely wrong way
[QUOTE=minilandstan;34806550]I'll let them take their time, I don't want another Duke nukem forever[/QUOTE] Isnt this exactly what happened to DNF? The lead designer was so obsessed with perfection that he would throw out entire levels and have them restarted from scratch. [QUOTE=Soldier32;34808511]as you grow up games definitely get less appealing.[/QUOTE] I have to disagree. I am still interested in games, its just the type of games that are coming out dont appeal to me. Not related to either of those just to the thread: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdeY1v6jC7Q[/media] Dear gabe...
I really don't care about EP3 or HL3 or whatever much anymore, I mean, it's been years since episode two. I'll probably get real excited when it's announced though.
Ricochet? That was [I]way[/I] back. At least, it felt that way. What about Deathmatch Classic? That was fairly fun too. Anyway, at least he's saying something.
