This is an extraordinarily silly idea. Valve: "We have enough money, we don't need to make HL3." Give me a break.tehweave said:
Valve: There Is No Half-Life 3

- Start date
Slowly? I'd say most of you are already long past that point and running to "totally wraparound gibbering idiots" at Mach 2.silensay said:

VALVe make games they enjoy. Whilst they are obviously motivated by cash, HL3 is definitely a money-pusher. If HL3 looked like HL2:ep2 in today's market it would get nowhere, so they have to pull something out of the hat. The HL series is serious IP, they're not just sitting on their haunches wasting it.
Valve are the greatest trolls I have ever seen. Not only have they been trolling us for so long but they haven't even had to do anything, they just letting the community troll themselves. They don't need to spend any money on marketing when they finally announce HL3, the fanbase has been building up hype, fustration and longing all by themselves with nothing to go on.
I'm pretty sure Half Life 3 won't happen at this point.
I suspect the team just kind of burned out on doing the series, and have been working on everything else in the interim (Portal2, Left4Dead, Team Fortress 2, and technically DotA2).
Personally, if I were Valve, I'd be working on a new game engine to replace my aged (and well used, mind you) Source Engine. Half Life 3 as a launch game? A strong possibility.

They release it, they don't release it, whats the difference? Its not like everyone is going to stop buying Valve games if they done.
Why dont people just wait to see what happens instead of trying to foreshadow everything? *sigh* If Valve have made anything apparently, its that they will tel us when they're good and ready, and not one second before.

I saw the headline and shrugged. Good games, but not the greatest. And I figured the headline was meant to draw attention. I read the article and the only thing that popped into my mind was that Lanthanum was the name of the rare earth element supposedly used to build jump drives in the old Traveller RPG. Odd thought all in all.
Now a Traveller RPG on the computer might get me excited...

If HL3 or Episode 3 or whatever is made, than they must first "Leak" trailer footage that makes HL(Episode)3 look like a modern fps. Think about that for a minute. Gordon would only be able to posses 2 weapons at a time, Vehicle rail sections would be mandatory, and It would have multiplayer in the game. Not as a separate package, in the game itself! And Russians would be involved. It could turn out that the Russians are (Somehow) responsible for all of earths problems and Gordon must then kill a stereotypically evil Russian leader.
Either that,or they call it Half-Life: Forever in the teaser trailer.

Honestly, I would say it's never going to happen. I gave up wishing a long time ago.
If Half-Life 3 ever does come out it will most likely not live up to expectations. Near not possible at this point.
Oh well.

In a very sad note, do you guys realize there are people who died while waiting for HL3?
Maybe by accident or by sickness, but some people who have been waiting for this game (or for that case, for Team Fortress 2) who just didn't made it.
EDIT: by this time, I don't even care if it's gonna be "good" or "bad", I just want to get my fix on HL! Just don't make it shit and go on with the damn story!
Who is G-man?? Who are his employers?? STOP NOT-TELLING ME!

Their hint of "a game with a 3 in it" probably refers to Episode 3, which is theoretically supposed to come BEFORE HL3 itself, if HL3 is coming at all. Also, there is room to milk Portal for another sequel if they really want, so they could be trolling us by planning to unveil Portal 3, and I wouldn't mind using the ol' Portal gun in the outside world. There's also a potential Left 4 Dead 3, or a Team Fortress 3. Really, ALL of their biggest franchises have sequel openings and would be going into a 3rd game. Their hint of "a game with a 3 in it" isn't even really telling us anything when you think about it.
