Valve Nixes Half-Life 3 Rumors

[LZeroK]

It seems that Valve doesn't know how to count to three, if I'm wrong show me a game made by them with a three on the cover.

Oh, that's actually quite depressing. Also, this game and Final Fantasy Versus XIII could be the next kings of vaporware.

....What?

How is Versus XIII vaporware? There's screenshots, information and gameplay footage.

Some day Gabe Newell will stand up on a stage, reach into his coat and take out HL3. He'll then go on to say that it will be in stores worldwide in under an hour.

Some day....

You know what Valve? I don't even care anymore. Yes, you make amazing games, but this has gone beyond ridiculous. I'll believe the game is coming out IF (note I didn't say 'when') it is in my home, loaded into my system, and I'm sitting playing it. Until then, I'll be getting games from other companies.

 

[EternalFacepalm]

Come on, people, you know the truth...
They're covering up a conspiracy! In reality, the FBI is involved, trying to keep Half-Life 3 from release. Why? To keep control of the people, of course!
And TotalBiscuit said something good about Minecraft (I think?) in today's mailbox. It's all pointing towards a conspiracy, a conspiracy I tells ya'!

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

At the very least just humor us valve. Give us hope that those rumors are real. Also just release a damn trailer already. You are well over do.

 

[Cabisco]

I for one am pretty okay with them not making episode 3 as it meant I got to play Portal and L4D, both which I put high up in my list of games whereas the half life series I do not.

Wonder what they are currently working on?

 

[Smooth Operator]

Well that really doesn't say much, ofcourse Valve wont publicly confirm anything until they are ready(just like every other company), so if anything you can only trust the former employee who isn't on their leash.

 

[Deathfish15]

If the reason this is taking so long isn't because they are secretly working on Half-Life 3 but simply because they can't be arsed to finish the series even though the WHOLE POINT of releasing the game via episodes was to make sure we would not actually have to wait then I will loose some respect for Valve.

Either Episode 3 will be the best thing since sliced bread or the wait simply won't be worth it.

Tell me one, one single Valve game that wasn't "worth it", and I'll call you a liar!


Also....I give 2015 the ETA for HL3 to release. That of course, is post world-ending 2012. Too bad.

 

[TimeLord]

Having never gotten into Half Life, I am not interested I'm the game itself. However, I am interested in Valve basically denying it's entire existence for as long as they can!

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Yeah. Even Gran Turismo 5 came out last year, too.

Half Life is the newest vaporware joke.

It better be a full on game, and not just an episode at this point, really.

And it best be better than DNF! But then again, it's Valve.

This news makes me a sad panda.


EDIT: Bring back the odd captcha! D:

 

[Fusioncode9]

So they haven't even started? Or maybe their just taking their time as with Half Life 2. Oh well, I can wait.

Meanwhile, Gabe Newell pauses for a moment to laugh at the Half-Life devotees from the top of his iron fortress in Bellevue, before going to swim in the money bin from Steam revenues.

At least Gabe earned his money, rather than stealing it from his employees, like certain other CEOs.

Or releasing terrible sequels year on year.
Or monopolising DLCs.
Or releasing unwanted peripherals.
Or charging for each transaction.
Or running off to create their own Steam with blackjack and hookers.
Or running an entire IP into the ground.
Or getting their entire system hacked because they can't be bothered to put security in.

Swim on Gabe, you're still doing alright overall. But cut down on the hats, please.

I lol'd at the Futurama reference.

OT: I've never really been hyped for another Half Life game anyway. Yeah, I'd like it, just as I'd like another Star Wars Battlefront or true Silent Hill game, but they aren't going to happen. And if they do, then yippee! I'll get to enjoy them. Until then, there are other games out on the market that need playing.

 

[Crazycat690]

It's just a shame the games are being released so far apart, I was too young to enjoy HL1 when released, never played it, and for HL2, sure I played it, good and all, but then when HL3 comes out, who knows, maybe the next generation of gamers will play that one, if it ever arrives.

 

[DarkRyter]

Gabe Newell feeds upon our sorrow.

and he is huuuuuungry.

 

[THEoriginalBRIEN]

Valve, you are awful, awful liars.
