[QUOTE=legolover122;37237416]HL3 is probably going to turn into a duke nukem forever situation.[/QUOTE]
Valve is an amazing gaming company that tries it's very best to not disappoint it's fan base. With a game that everyone has been waiting years for, I doubt Valve will do a [i]half-ass[/i] job on it.
[QUOTE=Bomimo;37234315]It's a heroic sacrifice for our entertainment. I would never find enough stupid in me to do the same. I salute his madness.[/QUOTE]
I was permabanned for you're sins.
In a serious note everybody lost hope and faith I am doing this to restore their hope in Valve. So they won't be disappointed. That and if I'm wrong they can have at least a good laugh at me. So they can find something to laugh about to block out their disappointment.
Look at it this way:
A new CS is out in a week
Their major game of the moment, DotA is nearing completion
Team Fortress 2 will not get a sequel according to Valve
The Left 4 Dead franchise is never touched by devs
Portal 2 is done and getting a few DLC's (speculation)
At worst we get another Portal game, but apart from that what else could be in the pipeline?
[QUOTE=legolover122;37237416]HL3 is probably going to turn into a duke nukem forever situation.
When/if it gets revealed, people flip a fuck and name it the second arrival of christ himself.
It releases and is a mediocre/above average game.
Hear the users as people around the world cry out because it wasn't all they expected it to be.
I really think thats what valve is trying to avoid. They know if they say they aren't working on it/its canceled then they will lose a bucketload of money, and their rep will be trashed, and it will be posted on every single gaming blog/news source known to man.[/QUOTE]
yeah man because hl3 has been changing devs and engines constantly JUST LIKE DUK NUKEM GUYS!!!! and this one game will make steam and valve go bankrupt!
seriously do you even know shit about DNF or are you just saying that to sound witty and smart. DNF is basically a "Worst case scenario". HL3/ep3 isn't even slightly close to that.
if anything they're working a small group quietly and secretly because they don't want another leak like with hl2, that's if it's big, which it could be maybe, maybe not.
I'm not gonna speculate, I'll just wait and see.
Nah, it's... it's impossible.

Ricochet 2
Hmm, Valve at halls 7.1 and 4.2? Wait a second...
7-4 = 3
1+2 = 3
I WANT TO BELIEVE
There is no doubt in my mind that Half-Life 3 is going to just be Duke Nuke'em Forever V2.
A game that gets hyped to shit and sets the expectations so high that no matter how good the game is, even if it is the best game ever made, it will still not be enough because of the hype.

except Duke Nukem went through development hell and was handed between so many developers over the years and probably completely re-made a couple of times
as for Valve and their Half Life, they've just been working on and off on it in quiet, and hit a few roadblocks here and there

The difference is, Valve has been working on the engine for the game while they make other games - they don't have to do the same things as Duke Nukem did, where they had to change engines every few years to keep up with the innovations. The engine is here, Valve just needs to make the game. There is no doubt in my mind that it will at least be a fun game.
My... my brother said... he didn't really care about HL3...
Forgive me Gabe. He know's not what he says.

That's your fault for over-inflating your expectations, not theirs.

Oh no! your brother has an opinion!? how awful, he should love valve and all the games they make unconditionally!
Seriously though, grow up. If he doesn't care, then that's his decision.

I never said they were going to make it like DNF with constant engine changes and such.
I am saying that we are way over hyping it and when it comes out it may only be a decent/above average game but people will be irritated because it took so long to come out and it was overhyped.

it's still a horrible way to compare, I just said that to tell you how insanely broad the difference is
It's valve, it's going to be great. plus, the "Overhype" will be a non issue because people are thinking unrealistically and realize how silly they sounded. DNF was bound to be shit anyways, and it kinda way. Still an OK game.
I hardly even see people overhyping the game itself, just the release date, I really don't see the connection. You can't compare a circle to a rectangle.
I'm calling bullshit for now. I really hope this is true, though.
[QUOTE=Zee Captain;37228551]I actually believe that it is time. I never felt this way but I can feel it. Lets have a bet.
I will personally get my self permaban if Half Life 3 is NOT announced at Gamescon.
I trust you gabe.[/QUOTE]
Oh shit, toxx clause son.
[editline]14th August 2012[/editline]
They're not gonna announce squat, considering the rumors of Source 2
Do you guys have to be reminded that Valve has made practically zero bad games? Except Ricochet.
Because Ricochet was brilliant.
I actually liked ricochet.

I swear I have seen this thread several times before. Starts with a fake "leak" about valve showing off EP3/HL3 in some upcomming gaming convention. Then by the middle of it everybody splits into 2 groups:
Group A: Crying about lack of any information from valve.
Group B: Defending valve, about how they don't owe anybody any info.
Seriously guys, do you not have anything else to talk about?
