At least it's something. This is the closest thing to news we've had since the Ricochet 2 comment and "These things, they take time".
[QUOTE=luishi5000;36514317]Maybe it's just me, but I wish stuff did not get leaked. We all know they are working on it, why ruin the surprise of the game?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't consider it ruining much because like stated previously -- it's just concept art from 2008 so they could've done something entirely different shortly after that time

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;36514314]These are most likely fake, they seem to be random high quality doodles than anything, they're nothing solid, except for the character designs you can't draw anything from them when you go onto actually building except they're pretty, unless ep3 involved hallucinogenics.

I'd be surprised if they just lied for no good reason.

Though I would pay money for a high quality print of this to put on my wall.
I really like the Japanese wave effect to be honest.
Oh gods, my body is Reggie. I want this so much I think I need a new pair of pantaloons.
This is EXACTLY what I wanted it to be. Like, EXACTLY

so who's the black lady (ladies?)
[QUOTE=Lambeth;36514468]so who's the black lady (ladies?)[/QUOTE] L4D2 characters, Rochelle and some other lady.
oh my fuck :v:
[QUOTE=Lambeth;36514468]so who's the black lady (ladies?)[/QUOTE] Official concept art of Rochelle, as I recall.
[QUOTE=Chernarus;36514474]L4D2 characters, Rochelle and some other lady.[/QUOTE] both early Rochelle concepts I would presume
Holy fuck I'm posting in history.

[QUOTE=download;36514446]I think they really would have to reimagine it. The original Zen was a horrible brown colour all over[/QUOTE] exactly, if you took the same section from HL1 and upscaled it it would just look silly. This is an alien dimension we're taking about, with the modern tech they have at their disposal brown and green Shit on floating platforms in the middle of nothing isn't gonna cut it.
Maybe now Valve will actually show off lengthy worthwhile content of Episode 3 rather than just announcing "It's in development, it's going to be good" I mean it has been five years, no wonder people were starting to get bored.
[QUOTE=Joazzz;36514510]kraken base 3-t-8, we have spotted combine striders[/QUOTE] Oh god Snowspeeders tow cable tripping striders. Take all my money.
Great as always
conspiracy. major TF2 update today. EP3 concept art gets leaked. valve is up t' something
Oh god, please be real. I would love it if the Advisors could fuck with your head and start bending reality.

They probably just wanted to keep developing it until it's done and then slowly ramp up the hype in the days between announcement and release, like with all their other recent projects without open alphas/betas.
Thread is exploding. (With good reason :dance:)
Behold, The great swing arm of the hype machine swingeth forward from mighty push with the energy of an avalanche, the gears turn and sing in unison once more. Episode 3 pls.
Going through Xen in a new source engine is gonna be awesome! I seriously hope these aren't fake. They look like pretty legit early concept stuff but I wouldn't put it past someone to put in this much effort into fakes.
wow when we get fake news/ a bit of hype a thread usually goes crazy with replies, we get ACTUALLY something and the thread is slow and quiet :v: I'm guessing death by heart attack or speechless
