I love both of these games dearly. But Half life is what made Valve as popular as they are today? The time it takes for them to make a game is too long, but the quality is amazing. Share your thoughts
Should Valve concentrate on Half Life and not L4D?

You're an idiot.
Valve is divided into teams. One team is working on Half-Life, while another works on Left 4 Dead.

Well L4D came out TO long ago and the last Half-life episode came out...well I forget so ya I agree.
Dude he doesn't know that so theres no need to call him an idiot. And I think he is refering that Value should have more people on the Half-life team.Internet Kraken said:
Left4Dead is a more commercially viable game. Half Life is a gamer's game, but Left4Dead will reach a larger audience who aren't put off my the more intellectual game stylings of Half Life. At the end of the day, you can say what you like about them, but Valve is a company and their main goal is to make money.
Therefore, Valve concentrates on Left4Dead, the one that makes them more money.

I felt that Left 4 Dead was a glorified mod, so naturaly i'd like to see some more development with Half-Life.
EDIT: Was pretty sure that there were two development teams, but didn't know for definate.I guess that makes my post invalid. Ah well...

What you think Valve only has one group. Valve didn't even orignally own Left 4 dead it was sarted by a group called Little rock Studios. They bought out Little Rock and now they are making games for Valve.
Yes there is. If he knew this then he would understand that this entire thread is pointless.Curtmiester said:
Besides, Valve games don't take long to make because they have a small staff. TF2 took 11 years to make because they constantly changed it in order to achieve perfection. Valve is doing the same with their Half-Life games.
Dude that wasn't very friendly he was just asking a question! I wouldn't have known that either.Internet Kraken said:
I would love to see Episode 3 come out soon, I know it sucks waiting but in the end that's why the games are of such a high quality.
I know it wasn't nice, but come on.miracleofsound said:
People keep saying that this will interfere with Episode 3 production. People keep pointing out that Valve is divided into teams. He didn't even read the other Left 4 Dead threads before making this one. Otherwise, he would not have made it.
Meh I'm not too fussed about Half-Life these days.
The Episodes don't have any fresh additions over Half-Life 2 itself, and just felt like the same experience again. Not to mention the previously immersive story telling process was kinda crapped on when they started using pre-rendered cutscene crap in Episode Two.
I'm also pissed that Valve practically confirmed there wont be a Half-Life 3. Apparently the Episodes count as the third and final installment.
I also add I'm still bitter that the supposed Half-Life: Source was merely Half-Life exactly the same with ragdoll effect added... big whoop! A fan made mod (Black Mesa Source) is looking to be better than that!
Valve... originality please? kthx

Call me crazy, but I'm all for Left 4 Dead. I guess I've just sort of forgotten about Half-Life, or atleast got used to waiting for it. Either one works though.
Where were the pre-rendered bits in Ep 2? The only one I can think of is the intro. Unless I've had a memory block...TelHybrid said:
It does indeed suck that there won't be a HL3 but hey, we'd probably all be in old folks homes hitting our PS26s and XBOX 360000s with our zimmerframes by the time it came out...
