Where is Episode Three???

[Ordworse]

Episode Two was released in 2007.
This year is 2009.
Only some concept arts have surfaced about Ep 3.
Where is Episode Three?

The delay is not surprising. Valve was always known for starting its projects three years after the announcement was made.

 

[Ordworse]

Yes... it's like Duke Nukem Forever. 3dRealms started it 10 years ago... and they don't finishied it now.
So --> Half Life Forever!

 

[Grish]

blizzard do the same thing. Starcraft: Ghost was meant to come out before WoW, but theres no sign of it. By the way... theres ep3 concept art??? links pls.

 

[Ordworse]

Pictures added.

I heard these news in 2008 december, BTW I tell you:

“Speaking in an interview with Kikizo, Doug Lombardi revealed that the >next time you play as Gordon will be longer than the distance between HL2 to Ep1, and Ep1 to Ep2.<”

For the record, the gap between Half-Life 2 (November 16, 2004) and Episode One (June 1, 2006) was around 19 months, while the gap between Episode One and Episode Two (October 10, 2007) was slightly longer than 17 months

 

[Zombie]

That's not much of a difference.

They just always test everything more than they create it...
And I think they want to create new weapon. Not like common ones, more like gravity gun a nd portal gun. Or atleast give pheropodes (or something) again...

 

[Ordworse]

Somewhere I read that the portal gun will perhaps appear in HL 2 Ep 3.
There is a dangerous technology on Borealis by the Aperture Science. The game Portal takes place in the Aperture Labotatories (Aperture Science)... I don't know what can I say.

 

[Ordworse]

Did you see video? It was made by fans, but it looks very awesome!

 

[Velmarshal]

Ah yes "starcraft ghost coming 2006" I still lol from the wc3 trailer.

 

[Ricardo Irving]

Valve wants to keep the Portal and Half-Life franchises separate even though they are set in the same universe. Additionally, its speculated that it might be released in 2009 or downloaded from PSN/XBL.

 

[Ken-E]

Yeah, where the heck is episode 3, I hope it would have more chapters than the previous episode 1 and 2. And they should return some creatures back from hl 1.

 

[Tleno]

Well I'd be happy if in HL2Ep3 or at leas HL3 you would have to time travel back in black Mesa before incident and the you would have to stop the incident from happening...

 

[Vengeancekael]

They've confirmed that episode 3 won't be coming out this year, but instead Half life 3 will be released in 2011.

 

[The_Mirai]

Dude, THERE IS NO HALF-LIFE 3 AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ONE!!! If one of you had actually remembered to google it, congrats! For most of you who weren't as bright, read the official statement form HL creator and leader of the Valve team, Gabe Newell, at http://pc.ign.com/articles/711/711560p1.html and see for yourself.

 

[The_Mirai]

The statement was given in 2006, by the way... -.-

 

[Tleno]

Hehe, how don't you understand it was made four years ago and in that time they could have decide to actually make it?

 

[The_Mirai]

Are you retarded?? Haven't you read what the director of HL franchise said in the link I posted above??? If you (or anyone else for, that matter) was too lazy to click on it, I will C'n'P his words:

"The original Half-Life took us two years to develop," said Gabe Newell, managing director, Valve. "With a considerably larger team Half-Life 2 took us six years to develop, so we thought if we were going to continue our trend with Half-Life 3 we would basically ship after we had all retired.

You get it now?!

 

[Tleno]

Duh. Don't you uderstand that it means he's unsatisfied with the time it takes to make a HL game for them, but it doesn't mean he's against making it, he actually was just saying that making HL3 would take very long if they would continue like that.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Maybe they changed their mind and thus wanted to make a whole new game instead of a new episode? Well they also said that it wouldn't be coming in 2010, but in 2011. (That's for sure)

 

[Jargalhurts]

Valve is probably too busy with Portal 2
