I only hope that by the time it does come out i have enough for a new PC because it will definitely have to be a PC game, console just won't cut it.

Didn't the ever expanding Gabe not say that the Half Life ep games were, essentially, HL3?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought he waffled about episodic gaming and how it would mean less time for us to wait between games. I was sure he specifically talked about 3 episodes a few months apart each followed by HL3 meaning the gap from episode 3 to part 3 would be shorter than the usual time between games. I thought this whole assumption that the next release is HL3 was pure speculation. I mean it wouldn't surprise me at all but officially the next release is supposed to be episode 3 of HL2 is it not?

pretty sure I read thast they'd given up on an "episode 3" and the next game would be a full number of its own

i think I did read that they were considering eps 1/2 as "hl3" as well but.. i dunno if that would make much sense. If they jump straight into Half life 4 it would mean a lot of confused people.

yeah I built a new pc for HL2 only for it to be delayed for a year

More chances of the Public Sector being reformed and the banks being held accountable than HL3 coming out anytime soon tbh.

un-named voice actor claims to have recorded voice work for Episode 3 :pac:

No matter how hard I try, I just can't stay mad at Valve for taking so long. I mean, pretty much everything they've ever released has been pure gold.

Half Life 3 announcement at the VGAs tonight. It better be gameplay and not some lame teaser.

Sarky · 10-12-2011 9:28pm

It'll be Gabe Newell reenacting the trololololololol video.

We wont see it for a long time, but when we do, it'll be totally worth the wait.

cloud493 · 11-12-2011 3:25pm

I just do not care at this point. Its like Duke Nukem forever, it'll be put off for so long, no one will care when it comes out.

Creamy Goodness · 11-12-2011 3:32pm

it's like duke nukem forever except that you'll actually cream your pants when you see it.

actually it's not like DNF at all really.

Unless after every headcrab he kills he'll say "I'd hit it!"

The big difference of course is that while DNF ended up being an obnoxious, badly-designed throwback created in a hurry after Gearbox bagged the IP, the worst HL3 could be is average. Valve are a rare developer in that they have the wriggle-room and money to build the games they want to create.
