I'd just like to point out that saying the story is false doesn't mean they aren't working on it.
If I said, "The sky is blue because God is color blind" and someone says "False" does that mean the sky isn't blue?

Does noone understand that they are very likely developing a new game engine for half life 3? That they are trying to harvest hype and also make the game as good as possible? That this is their first "3" game? If you can think, you can easily understand the reasons for the delay.
Agreed. If Valve had actually announced Episode 3 specifically, and maybe gave a release date or some-such, then I'd see how people can call it Vaporware. As-is it's just a bunch of people assuming that there is an Episode 3 based on a tentative announcement before the first episode was even out. Still, it'd be nice if they officially announced that they changed their minds about 3 episodes.Woodsey said:
This. Me and my friend have made bets on it happening. It'll be like what Microsoft did with the 360 Slim, except it will be Valve. And it will be awesome!ciancon said:
Well if valve leave things for too long perhaps half life will have the same effect as the new duke, i honestally hope not but please give us a date at least valve!Zirat said:
They will end up making it after year of speculation, after all does anyone actually believe they are tired of making money?
Surprisingly, they aren't developing a new game engine. They have stressed this several times in the last year.Dr.Cereal1 said:
They also said (in one of the interviews that they did for Develop Magazine) that they are NOT just trying to hype up the game by staying silent, and that they would never do that to their fans. The reason we haven't heard anything is because they have nothing to tell us, except that we will indeed "ever" see Gordon Freeman again.
The lack of announcement tells me that they aren't quite sure what the game is going to be yet, so they're holding off on announcing anything until they know major things about it aren't going to change.
Me: what happedn why am i on the floor why is my head wet

Yeah, that's a good idea, let's all push Valve into releasing something. ALWAYS WORKED OUT JUST FINE SO FAR, RIGHT TF2?
Seriously, I thought by now we'd all have learned how to be patient with Valve. Look up the HL2 "Beta" leak on the Combine... overwatch.. whatever wiki. And count how many chapters and concepts they completely cut. And interesting sounding ones, too.
If a game is a tree and the branches are its chapters, Valve is cutting all the good ones to make room for the rare excellent ones. That's why their games take so long and are so good. Really, they make like 3 games worth of content each time, but only stick with the top.
And I wouldn't have it any other way. Let them release it in 2020, I'm not in haste. I know it'll be a good game and (especially without details) I won't get hyped - I just trust in Valve's abilities.
Can we now all hold hands and puke rainbows, yes?

Honestly, I'd rather see what they can do with new IP. Slacken the reins and see what these boys are capable of instead of demanding sequels all the time. Maybe we end up with something even better.
I really like that idea too. All of Valve's new IPs over the last few years have been great. Granted, none of them started as in-house ideas (though Portal was close; it's very different than Narbacular Drop) but still. I'd be just as happy with a new IP as I would a HL game. And by "new IP," I don't mean something like Dota 2, of course.Speakercone said:
