Last night's episode of Gametrailers TV had plenty of information and goodies for Left 4 Dead fans, but what about people who are interested in Valve's other stuff?
GTTV host Geoff Keighley asked fans to send him question for Valve CEO Gabe Newell via Twitter, and one disgruntled fan called the developer out on the long development cycle of the final Half-Life 2 episode: "Are you still even working on Half-Life 2: Episode 3? When can we micro-invest in it through Steam so it will actually come out?"
Laughing, Newell deflected the question, saying that he had nothing to say at the moment about Episode 3, but that Valve would let people know when it did. When Keighley pressed to see if it was still under development, though, Newell (sort of) caved: "Yes, of course we're still doing it."
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.
Project-AC team is currently working on brand new Half Life 3 project (or Half Life 2: Episode Three if you prefer) in Source Engine. Project-AC is descirbed as a modification for Half Life 2 that is partially based on the motives of the Episode Three or Epistle 3.
Gunna make me own on playstation dreams
After playing last few days it's very possible to make
Nice....360/PC only.
Great news for Xbox360/PC!!!!!!!
Hopefully EA will handle the port again.
Half Life 2 Episode 3: Subtitled - "What happened in those previous games that were released in the last century? I should go ask Grandpa"
Good news I guess as I would rather play HL2: Episode 3 than L4D2.
