What else can I say? Once upon a time I heard about Postal 3 in PC Gamer magazine and how it was going to be on the Source engine and that you could pick up trash and throw it at people and now ... silence ... *tumbleweed rolls past*

I for one was looking forward to this game. When I looked at the website, it seems like there's still stuff being done on it ... but no real information about its current status.

So what gives? Is it going to come out or not? Or are the devs parodying Duke Nukem Forever?

I have to say, I read this as "portal 3" and almost crapped my pants :p

I think development might have stalled =\

Yep I am looking forward to it however my expectations on the quality is low but the humour and laughs high. I doubt it will do well and its still going ahead from my knowledge. small workforce i guess.

I'd play it, only thing I didn't really like with 2 was the engine.
Yeah, but then again, you have to consider the times and that, being that Postal 2 was an underground game that the stuck-up mainstream wouldn't think of getting, probably didn't get a lot of money to make it.

Guess you gotta do what you have to do.

Think of it as your daily boost of blood pressure! :)

But yeah, I agree, things have probably hit a rut. It must be hard trying to achieve funding for an underground game when everybody wants a CoD clone.

I just hope they don't "pussie-fy" it. If they make Postal 3 a less controversial game ... I think I will puke.

Latest trailer was June 5. I am eagerly waiting for it. That's all I really have to say.

Wasn't Postal 2 some really violent game that people got all upset about and protested? Maybe they just don't want anymore controversy. If the game wasn't super popular at the time and created lots of complaining then it might not be worth it to make.
Except it is getting made, as evidenced by the site above.

Well, it was supposed to run on Source, but I have a feeling Valve is close to finished working on their new engine right now. I'd guess that they'll be using that new one instead of coming out this late in Source's life.
