I'm not sure what you mean.triggrhappy94 said:
Portal and Half-life games all take place in the same universe. That's always been true.
However, they have never interacted beyond references to each other. Anything more has only ever been speculation by the fans.
So, I'm not sure which part has been dropped?
Yeah, but you cannot compare the time difference between Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Episode Three.TLS14 said:
For starters, Half-Life 1 didn't really end on a cliffhanger. Episode Two did. Also, VALVe never said in 1999 that the next game would come out in about a year. (That was the point of the episodes, shorter development times).
Also, when did Half-Life 2 get announced? At E3 2003. From November 1999 to May 2003 is almost three-and-a-half years. Which means that it has taken longer for VALVe to announce Ep3 than Half-Life 2.
But the real kicker for me is that it took them five years to make Half-Life 2. BUT they were a much smaller company and were, simultaneously, working on the Source engine, Team Fortress 2, motherfucking Steam, working with Turtle Rock Studios with Counter-Strike: Source ... and they may have even been already working on DoD: Source and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. really, when you look at how many people work at VALVe now, it doesn't make any sense as to why it took this long to even just announce the son-of-a-*****, except that they are either not going to make it or they just completely fucked everything up. Plain and simple.
And besides, Gearbox was making Half-Life 1 expansions in the meantime, so we had something to hold us off.
... Sigh. Sorry. Had to get that off my chest. :-|
Do not ever tell anyone to go to the Steam forums. You might as well be telling them to go burn in hell.Pescetarian said:
I've noticed a shocking similarity between HL3 prediction methods and Doomsday prediction methods...
This is where Gabe needs to man up and say at least whether or not it is in the works. If anyone is trolling the fans, I hate to say it Valve, but it's you.
What, the fact that they zigzag? I have seen tree lights drawn thusly since people started drawing electric tree lights. I just don't see any symbolism, if you see it please explain.SirBryghtside said:
Yes, let us remember the Aperture Science vessel Borealis that was discovered encased in ice in Episode 2, and the Borealis dry dock Chell discovers in Portal 2. So we know for a fact that HL3 (or Episode 3) will directly involve Aperture Science since the last thing mentioned in Ep2 was the Borealis and how freaking important whatever-it-was onboard would be in stopping the Combine.Maze1125 said:
They're stepping it up for Half-Life 3. It's scheduled for release on 12/21/2012. They're bringing the game into real life. Hope you've practiced with your crowbar arm!
Is this the same Portal fiction that co-exists in the Half-life universe?Greg Tito said:
Also he opens that with "You are being trolled." <- notice the period, end of the sentence, he does not state whom he trolling you, it could be a subtle "everything after this statement is trolling you" play on words.
Though if not a hint at Half-life 3 could it be a hint at Portal 3, I'd like that (though not sure where the story could go).
This man speaks the truth. It's like R&P in there.Frostbite3789 said:
Yeah, but like a few thousand years in the future now.Sampler said:
i was just thinking that. as much as i want to see half life 2 episode 3, i feel like after all this time and all this build up (by fans, not valve), it isnt going to be worth the wait. i mean, it seems clear to me that valve doesnt really care about half-life anymoreMiracleOfSound said:
I'm not a half life fan,but I understand what it feels when a games sequel or next instalment isn't or is legiet. It feels like the duke nukem forever mess again. A game that takes loads of time to be made,while waiting so long. Just how different half life 3 would be if it was made? Maybe gabe knows something we don't
