Half-Life 3 is "being worked on" and Left 4 Dead 3 "looks great", says a guy that doesn't work for Valve.
[QUOTE=surfur;44886567]I do wonder if Valve is going to throw their hat into the indie engine market. Much like UE4, CryDev and Unity.[/QUOTE] Most likely they will.
so they really are working on l4d3 then,huh bleugh, dunno really how to feel about that.
I'm glad that Minh is gone from the Counterstrike team. Tactical Intervention is crap, I'd hate to see how bad Counter Strike 2 was when Valve canned it.
[QUOTE=whatthe;44885755]I think we would know by now if it had been canned, otherwise the only thing is to assume it is being made, albeit very slowly.[/QUOTE] You wouldn't know if it was canned because Valve doesn't want to say anything about it. I still believe when Ellen McLain claimed that they weren't working on HL3 because no one wanted to work on it. And rather than Valve publicly say that and face the backlash, they say nothing. Until there's something substantial to see, I don't believe HL3 will ever exist. Valve is too late.
I've also seen Valve concept art for something that looks like HL universe. [t]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081212010934/half-life/en/images/5/52/Borealis_Advisors.jpg[/t] WOW HL3 CONFIRMED This is somewhat dumb, really. He wasn't even like "yeah I saw some serious shit getting done" or something, but really all he says is that he saw a concept art. That doesn't mean absolutely anything.
[QUOTE=Omali;44886949]I'm glad that Minh is gone from the Counterstrike team. Tactical Intervention is crap, I'd hate to see how bad Counter Strike 2 was when Valve canned it.[/QUOTE] There's a lot of dark stuff behind the original counter strike mod. The additions that make people play counter strike today were made by people who got little recognition and $0 for it.
[QUOTE=Drury;44888335] This is somewhat dumb, really. He wasn't even like "yeah I saw some serious shit getting done" or something, but really all he says is that he saw a concept art. That doesn't mean absolutely anything.[/QUOTE] We know for a fact that there have been HL3 builds, we just don't know at what stage they are in development.
I'd just like to see them refine the mechanics for HL3 and I'd be happy. Weapons with more kick, nicely blended hit reaction/death animations with ragdoll, better blood and maybe gore depending on the weapon used (like a close shotgun or RL), stuff like that. Maybe make the grav gun able to pull weapons out of enemy hands
[QUOTE=Monkah;44885734]Am I the only one that's way happier than I should be right now? I mean, it's practically confirmed. We know it's in development and not being scrapped-- that's good news.[/QUOTE] We already knew this. With Source 2 in development, ofc its gonna take long. And I don't give a flying fig over L4D3
[QUOTE=ironman17;44886234]What really matters to me is what kind of gameplay renovations they'd make for HL3. It's been a long time, so hopefully the HEV suit will have been upgraded a fair bit. Also, if Gordon still runs into resistance troops, perhaps the whole "squad control" mechanic from the HL2 "Trilogy" will be overhauled and more in-depth thanks to a command module. When you've been keeping folks hanging for so long, you'd probably want the game to be as awesome as it can be.[/QUOTE] I don't want any HEV suit upgrades that alter the gameplay much. Maybe a couple of new features that are seldom used but no Crysis style "Maximum Crowbar" stuff.
Too fucking little too late. I've lost any interest I had in this game 4 years ago
[QUOTE=Wormy;44890286]You might be saying that now, but once the game trailer gets released I bet you (and many others) will get reeeeally hyped.[/QUOTE] Nope. I really, sincerely have no interest anymore. Fucking revolutions have happened in third world countries since they announced the game.
[QUOTE=Scratch.;44886466]There's always conflict whether it would be Half life 3, or Half life 2: Episode 3 Plot twist, they release both at the same time[/QUOTE] Why would anyone still think it will be Half Life 2 Episode 3? It would be an awful marketing choice.
It's been so long, with so much demand, that I'd be willing to bet if Half Life 3 were to release it would be a disappointment, definitely not living up to the hype, and is probably better off as an internet joke for marketing purposes than anything else L4D3 however, bring it on
It's pretty disheartening to think that Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2 and, most likely, Left 4 Dead 3 will have been released since the last Half Life game.
[QUOTE=Omali;44886949]I'm glad that Minh is gone from the Counterstrike team. Tactical Intervention is crap, I'd hate to see how bad Counter Strike 2 was when Valve canned it.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure he doesn't even touch TI anymore and is working primarily on Rust right now. All the TI work is left to a team of guys who haven't played a serious shooter game since before 2006.
-fine-
We have known this information for fucking ever, HL3/EP3 from fucking 2007, and L4D3 for months, maybe longer now. I am really excited to see information on L4D3, they will probably give that first, I feel like Valve is gonna mix up the L4D formula plus I wanna see the work they have done with the Director AI and new infected.
[QUOTE=BlueAndGray;44892889]Can we seriously get rid of the PCGamesN bot already?[/QUOTE] For what legitimate reason this time? They didn't make this article to start shit, cause a lot of other gaming journalism sites have already reported on this subject.
[QUOTE=Dead Madman;44885983]Definitely, people have been anticipating a new game for 7 years now, expecting it to be fucking golden because they've been perfecting it for all these years, when, in reality, they probably just wanted to work on some other shit for a while instead[/QUOTE] I see a couple "it better be worth the wait" posts every once in awhile, but I can't really interpret that as "it's going to cure cancer" and literally everyone else is saying "people are going to be disappointed when it's not the second and third comings of christ" like to the point that I don't even believe the level of hype they're complaining about exists, much less is characteristic of a group sizable enough to matter
The "Hype" is not Valves fault at all, so.
[QUOTE=Kenneth;44885771]However amazing they make it, a lot of people will be disappointed I reckon. It's been hyped up way too much. The fact you can make an article based on vague hearsay is a good indicator.[/QUOTE] It could win game of the century and every award known to and have a metascore of 100 and truly be the greatest game ever created and run on any OS and run on even shitty computers on ultra but still look next gen [B]and[/B] it could solve world hunger, cure cancer, and fix the economy and you know what? people will still bitch bitch bitch in the end, no one cares about them, because they'll be having fun in their game and the ones complaining however will not. the real winners will be the ones who play their game and relax, and don't have a stick up their ass.
[QUOTE=AaronM202;44900764]The "Hype" is not Valves fault at all, so.[/QUOTE] Except it is. Keywords: Episode; 2; cliffhanger; ending
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;44890294]Nope. I really, sincerely have no interest anymore. Fucking revolutions have happened in third world countries since they announced the game.[/QUOTE] That happens all the time though?
A better example would be that Breen's voice actor has meanwhile passed away.
[QUOTE=Drury;44903147]A better example would be that Breen's voice actor has meanwhile passed away.[/QUOTE] But Breen is dead in Half Life so that doesn't matter anyway?
[i]Presumably[/i] dead. I believe Valve planned to have him return at one point in future, but I guess that's not going to happen now.
[QUOTE=Drury;44903188][i]Presumably[/i] dead. I believe Valve planned to have him return at one point in future, but I guess that's not going to happen now.[/QUOTE] There's that host body idea. With that, they could easily get away with a new VA.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;44891088]Why would anyone still think it will be Half Life 2 Episode 3? It would be an awful marketing choice.[/QUOTE] I don't think it will be called Episode 3, but it makes less sense to call it Half life 3 when it is still part of the Half Life 2 story.
