Hrm, I was searching around for new Half Life info and came across this:

http://www.thedailygamer.com.au/?p=1773

Basically it says that some Valve employee said that no Half Life 3 was going to happen. Not sure how reliable that site or pixelhunt is because I have never actually heard of them before...

What say you?
 
"McTavish also mentioned how Valve were currently too busy making hats for Team Fortress 2 and how it was probably wrong to string along the media for much longer.

“We haven’t really been able to find the time for Half-Life between making f**kloads of money through Steam and coming up with new Team Fortress 2 hats."
 
LOL, you don't even have to know tomorrow's April 1st to see by the wording that there's a lot of humor poured into those words.
 
lol... I don't know what's funnier, the article or that some people actually think that's true.
 
April Fools or not, this is probably true!!!

"“We haven’t really been able to find the time for Half-Life between making f**kloads of money through Steam and coming up with new Team Fortress 2 hats." "
:D
 
In other news Valve doesn't like to make money and would rather snub there noses at profit. Because of this massive change in corporate ideology all wars have ended and the human race no longer shits anything but rainbows and sunshine.
:rolleyes:

From my investigations...

McTavish = Irish
Irish = untrustworthy

I've heard that they eat their own young.

Depends on whom you ask. When the episodes started they thought they could continue the story line forever and 6-8 months in between $20 releases. The first three were to be close to what they would have called HL3. Then about the release of Ep2 which was about a year late I think they noticed that they were not going to be able to finish the story the way they wanted to by the end of episode 3 and you started hearing rumors that immediately after Ep3 there was going to be a HL3 because the development cycle was going to take so long for future episodes that it would be better to rap it up into that. My guess is sometime late 2009 or early 2010 the decision was made to use content from EP3 as the first "chapter" in HL3.

But that is the problem with Valve. All you ever hear about is a project starting, then almost nothing till 3-5 months before release. So Ep3 could still exist, HL3 could exists, or they both could be the same thing.

Look at what they did with TF2 between the original announcement and its release with nary a word inbetween. The original TF2 was supposed to be like BF2/COD MW 5-7 years before they came out respectively.

Ha ha! :D
 
Sure, there won't be a HL3. But there will be a Half-Life: <insert special name here>.
 
While the article is a joke, there is a sad bit of truth within it:

"&#8220;Honestly, with Half-Life 2 and the episodes being so perfect, we realised that it just wasn&#8217;t needed&#8230; besides, those gamers who even remember the story are pretty old by now, and new gamers don&#8217;t even know what Half-Life is,&#8221; he said."

If they take much longer to release it...will the current gaming culture of the time even care any more?
