I'm pretty sure Valve already said they won't do it, and make a true Half-Life 3 instead. The Source engine is getting pretty old, that's definitely for the best.
Where is HL 2 Episode 3?

I agree with you, but I also feel you should finish a series.PoisonUnagi said:
OT: By this point, I'd like to see something to prove it even exists.
As a fan of Valve, I have come to expect excellent, top notch, first rate products...at some point. I'd like Episode 3 ASAP, but I'm not bothered by the wait. It will be profitable, so I know they are working on it. In the mean time, there's a lot of video games in the world to play. I would say that I hope its a priority, but everything else Valve does is also great, so no matter what, I'm pretty much fine with things.
I'd rather it'd be later and better. however, you let companies run away with things like this and they'll abuse this position to no end, like Blizzard with starcraft. A lot of people just assume that the game is good cause it took so long to develop and preorder it.
Remember kids: preorders are good for you(!)

... I feel the need to comment that my Shep's also named Adrian xD However, naming her that was 'for the lulz'/reference (even though I never did get to play Opposing Force.)revolutionaification said:
Anyway, yeah. Let the Ep3 stuff die already, get excited/pissed/entirely unmoved when it's actually announced. I wasn't expecting to see it here, but I am holding out some hope for news after, like, the credits in Portal 2.
I personally think that they're working on the source engine to update the game from 2004. By now I doubt that they're just working on Episode 3. I believe that it's going to be the full fledged Half-Life 3. It makes sense; one of the biggest complaints from the previous episodes was how it was becoming outdated. So why not take a break and up the ante?
I wouldn't complain to much about the 3rd no where to be found part if Valve didn't end all there games in a Big ass Cliff hanger. if the end of episode 2 wasn't a big cliff hanger I would of probably posted this 3 years from now if there still wasn't any news on episode 3.
To me, they have gone past the point of no return.
Any interest I had in the Half Life franchise went about a year, maybe even 2 years ago. So basically, I dont care if it comes out or not, chances are I wont play it anyway, despite having played the previous games/ episodes.

Curses upon these Antipodean switheroos! I bet your toilet water even swirls the wrong way!J-dog42 said:
Seriously though, just because someone is speaking, er, typing English doesn't mean they're in Fresno. I know, I do the same thing all the time when talking football.
Same here. I gave away my Orange Box a couple of months ago. While I enjoyed HL2, the episodes really haven't advanced the gameplay or story and it's just been waaaaaay too long for yet another installment that doesn't resolve anything.Wadders said:
I don't mind a game teasing me, but Half-Life's story is more sizzle than bacon IMO.
Valve is working on Portal 2, and other trademarks it just recieved that I can't remember (DOTA?).
Don't expect work on Episode 3 for a few years.

Because bitching gets us nowhere. Hell, people bitched for the longest time about how long it was taking "Duke Nukem Forever" to come out and it just kept lingering. Finally, after years of bitching and complaining, they announced that production had been cancelled and we weren't going to get the game.Super Toast said:
Oh wait....
Gabe Newell: Now announcing Half Life 2: Episode- HA! You fell for it, here's Left4Dead3.
Seriously, I've actually stopped caring if they release another Half Life game. At this point, living up to the long awaited hype will be nearly impossible. If it DOES get announced in the next two years (unlikely) I'll just say "I'll read reviews first".
I feel like it will have the same fate as Duke Nukem. The game looks like garbage I could have bought on the PS2. I usually don't care about graphics, but if a game takes 10 damn years to come out, it better be the best thing since the internet.

A friend of mine in the biz told me that Episode 3 is taking so long because of software trouble with the Source Engine. Apparently, Valve has gotten REALLY carried away with it, especially with water effects.
