Permaban me if HL3 gets as much as a trailer/teaser before 2020 Srs
[QUOTE=Map in a box;49484481]And of course, he's still on [url]http://www.valvesoftware.com/company/people.html[/url][/QUOTE] Well valve isn't exactly the fastest to change things
What if they got JJ Abrams to write instead?

[QUOTE=Megadave;49484507]What if they got JJ Abrams to write instead?[/QUOTE] why would they get a movie director to write a game
[QUOTE=Megadave;49484507]What if they got JJ Abrams to write instead?[/QUOTE] HL3 is a remake of HL1 with new characters and upgraded apple looking combine tech
[QUOTE=EdvardSchnitz;49484542]HL3 is a remake of HL1 with new characters and upgraded apple looking combine tech[/QUOTE] Also lens flare.
[QUOTE=apierce1289;49484290]Well it looks like half life is going to turn into another Duke Nukem Forever except the difference being we eventually got Duke Nukem Forever. Very sad but I guess if it's true we should all except it :([/QUOTE] do people not understand why DNF was bad or something? the kneejerk DNF response is basically a meme at this point, it almost feels like it should be bannable. same for the "half life 3 confirmed" posts which... actually [I]are[/I] meme posts. surely you people can think of BETTER examples than this??? It's one game that happened to be overhyped and bad because of incompetent devs. Valve are very far from incompetent devs, but they sure do make everyone wait, and they aren't hyping it at all, unlike DNF.
GOD IS DEAD

[QUOTE=djshox;49484537]why would they get a movie director to write a game[/QUOTE] I completely agree with you but one thing to note is that Hideo Kojima did his degree in something filmy and wanted to work in movies. I mean sure that shows in his work and he doesn't take advantage of the medium as much as I'd like but he's still considered a legend in gaming.
Why is everyone jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst? Maybe he actually does just want to work on his own? Not everything is a grand conspiracy for or against Half-Life.
So this is what the ARG was leading up to
I'm surprised he lasted this long.
If this is actually true, they just lost one of the absolute key members on why HL is good at all.
a-at least they still make 1000$ knife reskins and big prize pools for dota :saddowns:
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;49484762]If this is actually true, they just lost one of the absolute key members on why HL is good at all.[/QUOTE] You do realize he could have long finished the polished the script for the game? Maybe he left because he was finished with it and wanted to move on. It doesn't take 8 years to write a sequel so he has probably very little to do at this point.
Fuck i know valve like being silent forever and then announcing stuff maybe but shit they need to start telling people stuff because its doing them no good anymore to sit there behind a curtain jacking each other off making VR and TF2 operations & broken CSGO updates (Idk bout dota)

Its like losing Kelly Bailey.
Bye Valve! You had a good run.
Maybe we'll get lucky like Shenmue fans and it'll be announced in 15 years
can't believe we fell for all that quirky bullshit they do over at valve. everyone ate it all up and it meant nothing. Gabe can eat a dick
God it makes me wish they hadn't ended ep2 the way they did. I just wanna kill some goddamn advisors
It's barely a matter of frustration. They've just been downright disrespectful and insulting to HL fans. This is the worst possible PR outcome regardless if HL was bound to die or not. A "no" is a hundred times better than silence.

Valve make games? Valve hasn't warranted any love for a very, very long time.
PCGamesN just confirmed he has officially left
