Jonathan Cullen, GOONL!NE: "Valve, it has been too long since we had a fresh slice of Half Life 2 cake. When this whole episodic saga started, we were promised an episode at least every six months. Meaning that, with the release of Episode One in June 2006, we should have had Episode Three in June 2007. Now though, if you do release Episode Three next Summer, it'd be three years since we got to play a new part of the Half Life 2 story saga. At this rate, you could even have been halfway through development of Half Life 3 by now if you had it in development. So please, for the love of God, release Episode Three next year."
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.

Video game developer Valve is responsible for bringing us some of the most beloved game franchises in history, Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee writes. It's just too bad so many will end unfinished.
We live in a world where the previously mythological games such as Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts 3, Shenmue 3, Persona 5, Metroid Prime 4, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, Ni-Oh, Doom 4, Psychonauts 2, Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last Guardian, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Beyond Good or Evil 2 & Darksiders 3 are actually real and were either released last year, this year, next year, or many years from now.
Hell we even got a new Bubsy game of all things coming out soon and Atari is talking about releasing a new console.
But god forbid we ever get a third installment in a Valve franchise.
I was all ready to say something derogatory about your comment (because reasons) and then you mentioned Bubsy and I completely lost my train of thought. Off to google me some upcoming Busby! See, I can't even think straight enough to spell Bysbu correctly.
The writers of Portal and Half Life have left Valve. Any sequel would be welcome, but somehow feel like fan-fic. Maybe it would be best to create a new story arc and leave the old stories unfinished.
i wish this was the overall credo of the industry. we would have to deal with much less reheated and senselessly prolonged crap.
Exactly, The people that have made the games we love, the games we love, arent working there anymore. I couldnt make a better Portal than Portal 2 if I had an eternity. And what is the upside, Its a hit and Valve makes another mountain of money (that it arguably doesnt need)... while the downside is destroying the image of having some of the best games ever.
Being practical, its just not a good move if they cant find a way to make it perfect and who says they haven't tried.
Couldn't they just sell the IPs or contract a developer to make them with valve's final approval?!
Valve kind of sucks in this regard...
Gabe only cares for his pockets, for someone that started his own game company because he didn't like the big corps.......he sure has become one himself. Whats worse he is aware people want it, I guess people can have a lump of coal for a heart.
Actually I would finish it for the fans sake and would've of done so 4 yrs ago. They have oodles of money and Gabe has said anyone in the company could just start making the game if they wanted to. If that was so then the recent departures of those teams that made it would have done it. Gabe is the roadblock plain and simple.
I would love both but Portal 2 resolved the story as where Half-Life left on a huge friggin cliffhanger!
Oh you want Portal 3 and HL3? Well, tough luck. Here, have a new card game instead! - Valve.
Smh.

Looks like the monster from half life series and at the same time like a man praying.

I have literally checked every day this year for info on Episode 3. Vavle said last december that info would came out shortly after the interview with doug lombardi, and it never happened. Valve makes great games, but as a fan of Half Life since 98, it gets frustrating to wait in the long development times that they like to make the fans wait through. At least throw us a bone and drop some sort of info and not just a few concept art pics.
