lost interest in anything half-life after playing through HL2, really.
Frraksurred said:Ok, here are a couple quotes with links:
Doug Lombardi on Episode 3:Yeah, the next time you play as Gordon will be longer than the distance between HL2 to Ep1, and Ep1 to Ep2.
Gabe Newell on Episode 3:1UP: How is Episode Three's development going?
GN: I'm not supposed to talk about Episode Three, according to Doug. It's going well. I mean, it's going to be the best of the three, by far. It's going to be the most innovative in terms of gameplay. [Motioning to Lombardi] He's going to get me if I say anything more.
DL: [Laughs] I'm going to still get you for all things you've already said.
1UP: This is good! [Laughs] This is why I love doing interviews with you guys. Will we see an Episode Three trailer by the end of the year?
GN: No. Valve's focus this year is Left 4 Dead.
Gabe Newell on HL3:Kikizo: After Episode 3 comes out, do you see life for Half-Life beyond this current iteration?
Gabe: Yeah. Sure. I think there are a lot of thing that we want to do with the story, characters and so on, that we haven't done yet.
So, no definiatives but I think we can be hopeful for 2010.

When I think of the word episodic, I think Valve
Is it even going to be made at all? IThere is L4D and 2nd version but where the hell is the 3rd episode, its been years and they cant release it but they can release L4D2 in matter of months? thoughts?
There is a little interview floating around somewhere (I'll look for it later) where Newell hints that they're adding updates to Source for Ep3 and that is causing it to take a while.
We are talking about an HL2 episode and since Valve is milking HL2 to death, yes, you will eventually see it released.
They can milk it all they want imo, I've enjoyed every game / episode in the saga that they've released. As long as they continue to turn out quality games that don't punish PC owners, I'll wait for them.
It should not take YEARS to come out with an "episode."
Episodic gaming is episodic
I'm almost positive since they can bathe in the cash they are just working 2-4 hour days 3 days a week driving ferraris and what not.
I mean seriously if I had the money they had I'd do the same thing. And for the record, without Valve and Blizzard (the other "when its done" company) PC gaming wouldn't really amount to shit. Very few other companies even come close to them. I mean really Relic, and Infinity Ward maybe but between Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft they have PC locked down.
I'm sure Gabe is (well, if you replace "driving Ferraris" with "eating fried chicken by the bucketful"), but I doubt that the artists and coders (i.e., the people who actually make the games) are raking in cash at quite the same rate.I'm almost positive since they can bathe in the cash they are just working 2-4 hour days 3 days a week driving ferraris and what not.
Yeah, id, Bethesda, Codemasters, Splash Damage, Monolith, Rockstar, 2K, etc, that have been around for a long time, mean absolutely nothing
But I had to laugh even harder at the "Infinity Ward" mention. What exactly have they done ? They released "ONE" good game (I didn't see such praise for previous CoDs, other than 4) and their among the best ? Seriously ?
I guess I have to start giving some of the companies some slack, when I criticize them for shifting interest to consoles. I mean how could they even care about PC Gamers, if the majority thinks like you do...
This is all my opinion since there really is not a right or wrong answer but no other publishers/game design companies have the backing and talent to do what those 2 do.
other than a couple levels, the game was completely forgettable for me. Same with episodes 1 and 2 (I haven't even finished 2).
At this point, with absolutely no mention of the game at this years E3, I am going to be severely disappointed if Episode 3 host not just turned into the sequel being a full blown HL3. I would think that it would make sense, considering things are bound to shake up due to the Portal addition to the HL universe.
Episode 3 = Half life 3
