VGF: Half-Life 3 Will Include Co-op

Many fans might be skeptical about a co-op mode in a Half-Life game, but there are several signs pointing to a possibly cooperative Half-Life 3 experience. But relax; the folks at Valve know what they’re doing.

Titanz4500d ago

The orange box is a must have.

BillytheAlien4500d ago

It better bloody not

Half life is an amazing single player experience...only idiots or co-op/online freaks would want co-op in this game.

Trainz4500d ago

Don't like valve games so regardless of how good half life 3 will be I'm going to pass.

Ace_Man_64500d ago

Why are you here then? Dickhead

Titanz4500d ago

Rude boi way of saying it, though xD

ThichQuangDuck4500d ago

So now speculation is fact......

If it does there better be a local coop option ! I doubt it though bc its a pc game and they wouldnt spend the time to do it on consoles. I hate where there is coop online but they completely ignore splitcreen. This entire generation has been a massive dissapointment in that way, only a few good splitscreen games and many that could have been good but didnt have the feature.

Valve has putting local coop in all of their latest games. Portal 2 and Left 4 Dead games both have splitscreen on the consoles and PC.

Details of Multiple Cancelled Valve Projects Revealed, Including Half-Life 3

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.

moongrim1406d ago

wait so I have to pay Steam money for this "Video" and Epic Games are the ones who are greedy? FOH

kitano19471406d ago

its an interactive storybook, written by Geoff Keighley, why should it be free? hes worked on reporting valve games since before half life 1 released.

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.

Knightofelemia1406d ago

Shame about L4D3 I would have bought that day one

FlyingFoxy1406d ago

Same, tho interestingly if you check the steam database page you can see L4D2 is being updated frequently, just not publicly, seems they are up to something.

Also we can look forward to B4B trailers etc soon so we have another game that might be similar.

MadLad1406d ago

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.

Fist4achin1406d ago (Edited 1406d ago )

Wow, great plans all flushed down the toilet. These probably would have all sold well too. A fan in me no more of valve.

Six Gaming Sequels We Desperately Need

B. Michael Logan writes: "Sometimes pressure from gamers has paid off when it comes to pushing game developers to grace our lives with sequels of games that we desperately need. However, we may never see sequels to game we’ve been demanding for years."

Not desperately. But I'd definitely take another Jet Set Radio.

SlagWolf1692d ago

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.

AK911692d ago

Don't bother with Valve IPs anymore they don't make games anymore just focus on Steam.

If Valve won’t make Half-Life 3, maybe one of these studios could

Gabe Newell's omni-studio might not have the appetite for Half-Life 3 anymore - but these developers could do it.

Someone should make in dreams on ps4

thatguyhayat1777d ago

Thats most likely to happen since theres a sonic Kirkby game and a playstation all stars battle royal sequel happening on that too

Profchaos1777d ago (Edited 1777d ago )

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

porkChop1777d ago

Arkane is the only dev on this list that would remotely fit or make sense.

Skuletor1777d ago

They were working on Half-Life 2: Episode 4 before it got cancelled

CBaoth1776d ago

Gearbox did the expansions for Half-Life; Blue Shift & Opposing Force. They also served as a liaison between Sony and Valve during the early years, creating Half-Life Decay for the PS2. Arkane would be a decent second choice if Viktor Antonov is still there

porkChop1776d ago

I know Gearbox has worked on Half Life before, but I didn't think the expansions were any good. I don't think they're a good fit for HL3.

chazjamie1777d ago

How is this a topic worth writing about?
