The first image for Half Life 2 Episode 3 has been revealed. By way of concept art, by Valve artists Ted Backman, Jeremy Bennett and Tristan Redford. The concept art has been submitted to the E3 2008 "Into The Pixel" competition, a competition which Valve won at E3 2007 with a City 17 concept piece.
Sometimes even promising titles never see the light of day. These are five of the most ambitious games that shouldn't have been canceled.
Kojima wouldn't have started his own studio if Silent Hills didn't get cancelled so even if it stung at first, I'm fine with it.
i remember being so excited for patriots for years, only to have them release that siege trash. i hate how multiplayer games, pvp in particular, have ruined so many potentially good games.
Zack Zwiezen writes, "It seems like just yesterday when Valve announced a trilogy of expansions for their super-popular PC game, 2004's Half-Life 2. But it’s actually been 15 years since Episode 3 was announced. And while Valve has since released a new Half-Life game, it wasn’t the one the developer announced back in 2006."
Still hurts a little that we didn’t get Ep3… and the “leaked” plans for it sounded like a great finale to the HL2 story arc.
It sounded fantastic and it's a shame we'll never get that
The ending of Half Life Alyx and what it did basically put the nail in the coffin for those plans.
Whatever they release next i hope it's not catered to consoles first. Back 4 Blood seems to be going that route by having automatic flashlights, but i have high hopes Valve won't water down any games as they are usually released on PC way earlier, like HL2 and HLA.
Man, I wish I played Half-Life 2 when it first came out so I could love it like the fans do.
I played it on Xbox 360 and I thought it was ok. I recognize it set a standard for a lot of things like physics in game and story-telling in an FPS, but I think by the time I played it the design had been improved upon by other games.
Agent Vaporware is a term used for software and games that are announced, but never released or cancelled. Essentially stuck in limbo due to development hell, lack of communication to the public, or pushed aside for other, more lucrative projects. Here are five long-awaited games we would like to see released this year.
I love the Vaporwave aesthetic, and I would definitely love to see a lot of these games come out soon. I think my favorite out of the list was Agent. Something about this style combined with the Cold War Spy setting really makes me want to try it out. Since it's from the makers of GTA, I'm sure it would be fun, and it would be interesting to see their take on an espionage game. Even if we don't get any of these games this year, I'm still pretty excited for some of the confirmed releases. One that I'm really looking forward to is Nova Nukers. It's a competitive multiplayer that has a lot of really interesting weapons that effect the game's environment, and a unique spherical stage design. I think it's going to be a really interesting game since it's doing a lot that I haven't seen in a multiplayer before.
I don't want Agent.....I just want a spy game...doesn't have to be agent but we don't really any any good ones to play.
* Create an agent....pick an agency to start at....do espionage and missions against other agencies and stuff.
^ would sell 3,000,000+
Sweet! HL2: EP3 is gonna be so awesome! I totally can't wait to kill an advisor. I will avenge you Eli!
I loved the art style of Half Life 2 and Episode 2, with the Citadel and how it was destroyed, creating the portal storm and whatnot!
Hope Episode 3 lives up in the Gameplay department!
Now this game surely requires to be bought
Hope they show something at E3, at least a full trailer.
oh well sorry ps3 owners
but this one is pc and 360 only
too bad ha ha ha
