"See? You’re already getting excited.
That’s what Valve is going for in terms of marketing whatever is next for Gordon Freeman, as they are adhering to the utmost of secrecy as to not “disappoint fans” by promising something that won’t arrive in their hands at some point before the end of days.
They are one hell of a sneaky bunch; they don’t even have the “good” employees that leak things and give us easy views!
Instead, they have easily one of the most unique, definitive communities in the world. That community has come together to concoct a list of every single reference Valve has given us so far."
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.
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
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.
Replies(1)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.
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.
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.
Hope Valve does upgrade the engine to make better use of the hardware/features available.
Please, E3, show something this year...
Yes it will need an upgrade, but surely this game won't become a 'Silicon Knight': a game like Eternal Darkness 2 that everyone wanted but the studio refused to make!
Valve NEEDS a new Source Engine.
No matter how much they update the engine, it will always suffer from the same small map and constant loading screens, but the nerdy Valve fanboys just brush it off and insist that the engine was designed for small levels like in Half Life 2... Yet Portal 2 had big levels and annoying loading screen popping up every 5 minutes into a level, even Half Life 2 at times had abrupt loading screens.
Oh and if you say, its because the engine is from 2004... I know and that is why it needs a new full update.
It will be pretty sweet if half life 2:episode 3/ half life 3 releases next year/ or on next gen consoles =D.
