People are well into their work week, bored with the grind, and ready to donate some money; or so the theory goes. This week is no different; it’s already seen the launch of a Half Life 3 Kickstarter campaign. Did you miss it? That’s because it’s already been cancelled."
A new Half-Life making-of has revealed details about cancelled Valve projects, including Half-Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, a Dark Souls-inspired RPG, and more.
wait so I have to pay Steam money for this "Video" and Epic Games are the ones who are greedy? FOH
Open world L4D game?
I'm curious
I'd love to see Zoe, Francis and Louis come back, or maybe Bill if they pretend the cross over with L4D2 never happened and they went North to Canada.
Damn I want more Half-Life and L4D..
Half-Life would be less jarring if it didn't end on such a cliff hanger.
Hard to believe that was all the way back in 2007.
Wow, great plans all flushed down the toilet. These probably would have all sold well too. A fan in me no more of valve.

I’d love a portal 3 but I don’t know where you’d go with it. The second one pretty much wrapped up every thing nicely.
Don't bother with Valve IPs anymore they don't make games anymore just focus on Steam.
Gabe Newell's omni-studio might not have the appetite for Half-Life 3 anymore - but these developers could do it.
It's interesting but after all this time i don't think it's possible to launch a HL3 game without disappointing fans in some way.
Do they keep the old mechanics and risk the game feeling dated?
Do they overhaul the game play systems to be more competitive and risk alienating hardcore fans?
Who writes the story as the writers from the original have long since parted ways with valve?
Is it even worth it? HL2 ep 2 was released in 2007 games have evolved dramatically in the past 12 years and the same techniques and story devices have been surpassed these days and valve hasn't released a fully story driven game since portal 2 in 2011 (even that's a little debatable as to how much story it had IMO it was light on story intentionally but lots of fun).
Most fans have developed their own theories and there are so many possibilities out there with the direction the story could have went maybe Valve don't want a 3 because it will never live up to fans and their own story they create after ep 2.
If we see anything HL related from vavle i would prefer it to be set around an entirely new cast
Half Life 3 confirmed!!!
Oh wait........
How the hell would they get a kickstarter for a game that already has an owner for the rights? Think Valve would sit out while someone else drafted HL3? Probably not...
Why would Valve need a kickstarter program? -___-
"...as valve seem set on not re-creating a half life 3 then we are looking to steal the market for this ourselves."
This would've been more hilarious if this guy wasn't actually asking for money to fund this fake thing. Ah well. Cancelled.
we should forget about half life and boycott it if it ever is released for valve's handling of the game so arrogant
