I'd say I want the game to come out just so you people will stop freaking talking about it, but then you'll just pick up things speculating about Half Life 4, because you just can't let sleeping dogs lie.
I think it could go either way to be honest. The thing that struck me about HL2 was the engine. I had a pretty old computer at that point yet I could run it on max settings because the Source engine is so well put together and efficent.
The game itself didn't have the same impact on me as HL1 though, for obvious reasons.
I wouldn't be surprised if Valve were building a new engine and were planning on launching HL3 as the flagship product to advertise it so they can flog it to 3rd parties.

There is NO WAY in hell that HL3 will live up to expectations after the amount of rumours and delays and hype that it's been through. No way at all. People have just talked about it so much that VALVe would literally have to make THE perfect game that ultimately destroyed the video game industry as nobody would play anything else for HL3 to live up to it's expectations.
Also, HL2 isn't that perfect immersion filled game that you described through your rose tinted nostalgia/first time playthrough goggles, by todays standards it's a pretty average game, so they're going to really have to do something different with HL3, because if they release something on par with HL2, it's really not going to be that impressive.

It's in very safe hands. So safe in fact that they won't even let us know anything about the bloody game. And it's so safe that they won't let us put our hands in the game.
The only way it's going to be worth the wait is if it is an extremely amazing next-gen game unless anything we previously played.

I'm not a half life fan, but unless half life turns out to be a portal crossover this will end with disappointment for many methinks.

I know. That's the only reason I entered this thread.Lionsfan said:
Like I needed anymore disappointment with HL related news.
When it comes to it, the terms "Episode 3" and "Half Life 3" are like two different brands of tea. People have thier preferences but they are almost exactly the same thing. At least until Valve actually announces anything Half-Life and we all have to go with that terminology for it.tippy2k2 said:

Seriously, can you back any of that up at all? Valve have kept well shut about anything HL related for years and the only thing there is to substantiate the claim that they've ditched Ep 3 in favour of HL3 is speculation and wishful thinking from desperate fans. It's the same as with the fabled kill switch on Steam that removes DRM from the games when Valve goes under. It doesn't exist but blinkered fans have convinced themselves it does.
I wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't even started making HL3 yet, and even if they haven't, I actually don't care. I'm not hyped for it, so I've got no expectations other than "As good as a Valve game". So as long as they spend the time to actually make something worthwhile and don't just through something out to appease to the crowd who cares how long it'll take? There's plenty other games out there and plenty other things to do in the meantime and you probaly won't die before it comes out anyway.
Remember that game everyone was excited for because it was in Development for TEN years? I think it was called Duke Nukum Forever. IT sucked. Being in development that long is a very BAD thing. it means more feature creep (Features that are cool on paper that don't fit with original design plans), rewrites, re-engineering, re-rewriting, etc. If HL3 has been in it for 6 years now, then it is better that it never gets released.
I wonder how many Valve fanboys who believe in HL3 think they're smart by asking religious people to prove the existence of God.
Well i believe in God and I believe in Half Life 3 and i am a Valve "fanboy" so you can count one out.Skoldpadda said:
OT: Did we need this thread? Evryone that is waiting for the game knows Valve are the only ones that can deliver it. Those who don't care, don't care. Let's avoid making threds like this. It just gives haters ample opportunity to ***** about it.
