[QUOTE=J!NX;49485836]when Star Wars: TFA is the best selling film of all time (in the US) and it got there without George Lucas, I'm pretty damn sure Half life can live without marc
you can still continue a series and make it amazing without the original writer.[/QUOTE]
Depends entirely on the writer/creator.

Considering he wasn't addressing you at all and a massive amount of people have been heavily anticapating this game I think I can say speak for yourself.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;49486238]That post was obviously satire.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Butthurter;49486391]idgi why are you being defensive about being hyped up (by nothing)[/QUOTE]
all i'm saying is a lot of people are, lighten up pal
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;49486024]I read that as immediate PR which I agree with.

to be fair this is one of the main reasons why half life is successfully

To my knowledge nobody really wants a Steam Machine.
Console users don't because they already have consoles and SteamOS simply doesn't have as wide of a library as Steam on Windows.
PC gamers don't want them because they already have decent gaming PCs and they can just get a Steam Link for $50 instead if they really want a living room gaming experience. Not to mention the SteamOS library issue as well.
Average consumers don't want them because they're more expensive than consoles on average.
Steam Machines (at least with SteamOS) are only really for a very specific niche. That being people who want as little latency as possible in their living room gaming experience, don't already have a decent gaming PC that they can't just move into their living room, and don't mind the limited library of games that SteamOS has in comparison to Steam on Windows.
The only bit of Steam hardware that has received any sort of praise is the Steam Link, but again, that piece of hardware is for a relative niche audience as well, as most PC gamers are just fine with sitting in front of their computers to play games. That being said, if you really must have a "casual gaming experience" in your living room on occasion, you can't really go wrong with the Steam Link. Just make sure it's a wired connection, as the wireless is naturally flaky.
[QUOTE=NixNax123;49485787]so why haven't you made these kinds of posts when ted backman left a few months ago? or when steve bond left in 2010? because you couldn't spin it to post irrational entitled arguments about PR or half life?
face it, in the end it's just another employee leaving the company. [i][b]one person doesn't write a game.[/i][/b] if half life 3 does exist, development won't suddenly come to a screeching halt because of someone retiring after working for 18 years[/QUOTE]
It's funny because he literally did. He was the [i]sole[/i] writer on Half-Life 1 and 2. This is according to the people page on the official Valve website.
He had help on the episodes, though.

You could take it further and say if PC gamers want a living room gaming experience they can just drop 15-30 dollars on a 50 foot long hdmi cord
Well shit, guess it's a CS and Dota valve from here on out.
i've been extremely concerned about what would happen if valve ever went under
what the fuck happens to our steam libraries in that situation? several hundred games, poof, just gone like that.
[QUOTE=testinglol;49485442]amount of people working on it got leaked one or two years ago. people choose to ignore it. there also was a leak in dota 2 where they leaked hammer entity fgd for hl3. they are just slow. announcing would not help at all.[/QUOTE]
Odds are that's either source 2 stuff or development hell hl3 stuff from 8 years ago.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;49486486]never said i wasnt hyped, just that i dont see a reason to jump on them for not saying anything about the development[/QUOTE]
oh there must be a misunderstanding then because I was only commenting on your comment saying "its a videogame i aint holding my breath for shit" and nothing else
and [I]I [/I]never said [I]you [/I]weren't hyped either, facepunch has an issue with assuming i swear

That's pretty cool. I bet they just push some sort of configuration to each steam account to allow their games to launch without a connection to the steam network.
but how would you download them? turn steam into a huge p2p client?

Yeah no. Valve still has excellent writers shown with Chet and Erik.
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;49483929]Viktor left a while ago and now that Marc Laidlaw is gone I've got no hope. I've always been one of the holdouts that thought it was coming eventually, but unless he wrote the story for Valve and dipped I don't think it's going to happen.[/QUOTE]
Antonov? He left Valve in 2004 and only because he prefers to work on other big projects. He leaves a company every now and then.

Yes, because of nebulous and arbitrary reasons that are more meme than anything, and childish "I'm not getting what I want right now!" mentality.

Erik is currently working on Psychonauts 2 now.
Whether or not that means he's also working on another game with Valve is yet to be determined, but I'm pretty certain his main focus is Psychonauts 2, seeing as it got funded and everything.
outsource it to arkane studios

'nebulous' and 'arbitrary' reasons like a flat management structure that's been proven to not work and an over-reliance on microtransactions and literally zero PR, but nope those are just memes right? valve can do no wrong
imagine being so far up your own ass that you actually seriously attempt to defend one of the most broken corporations currently in the video game industry

What the fuck does "an over-reliance on microtransactions" even mean? Like I said, nebulous and arbitrary. Not having a dedicated PR team isn't good, but that has shit all to do with them as a developer, just means they're shit at communicating outside the company.
The fucks broken? That they're not making what YOU want when YOU want it the way YOU want it? Get over yourself.
Half-life 3 will be a WiiU exclusive
