Jesus fuck it's been years since I played through with the commentary on, it's like the devs thought ep3 was right around the corner back then.
If Valve is the kind of company that makes games when they want to why would they leave HL2 on such a big cliffhanger and leave fans waiting for almost 10 years?
>>336130834
Yep. Also everyone likes to post the "one guy getting lost in a simple maze for 30 minutes" node but this one might be even more braindead.
>>336130987
>women
>>336130912
because they're making 1000x more money off the marketplace and steam sales, which takes almost 0 effort to maintain now
>the length of ep 3's "development" will soon surpass that of Duke Nukem Forever
>>336130912
Steam and Cash Shop games (tf2, dota, cs:go) are just more profitable than a single player FPS is.
prepare for unforseen consequences
>there are /v/edditors that died in the last 10 years while waiting for HL3 to be released
Will episode 3 magically avoid most of HL2's flaws?
>>336130834
Well, that's what happens when you don't actually have any dedicated project assignment. You can also see it in the Steam Controller, which is still lacking functionality half a year after release.
>>336131405
If anything it'll have even worse ones.
>>336130912
Valve had no idea Steam would blow up this big back in 2007.
What's the point in Valve making video games if they're the number 1 PC retailer if not the number 1 online retailer for video games?
HL3 is pointless at this point from a business perspective, Valve and Gabe aren't your buddies, they're businessmen looking fort he best way to make money. HL3 wold be a waste of money and would hardly give them a profit compared to Steam sales and Dota 2 and TF2 microtransactions. No matter how much more popular Half Life gets it'll never topple sales numbers Valve was hoping for.
Valve is done with making video games.

I can''t believe it's been so long. How the fuck does this happen? Valve were the kings. They were at the top.
It's like they all froze themselves and left some jew to run things until some new technology arrives that they need to finish the series.
Doesn't he look tired?
Is there a legitimate reason no sequel has been released? Did the episodes fuck up the development somehow?
>>336131509
Not true.
Half life 2 was pretty much the launch title for the Steam platform. It was the first game that required steam. It is in a large way responsible for getting the first group of players on steam.
If things start to die down, they will simply release HL3 (which they are still working on and not in development hell like DNF was) and it will be fucking excellent. HL3 is their plan B.
Otherwise you are correct. Theirs no rush to make HL3 at this point, they don't make games anymore.
>>336131614
Games are made to make money friend
Steam makes more money than any game could dream of.

They decided that episodic releases weren't really getting things done the way they had wanted them to, and switched back to the "standard" format of full game releases. At this point, no one really knows but Valve what's going on with it.
>>336131816
kinda
they decided to make left4dead2 in a year and that burnt everyone out
so then they decided to stop working on all projects at valve to try out new things, one of which was portal 2 (I think VR/AR stuff came stemmed from those experiments too)
Episode 3 got lost in time, and at some people arbitrarily decided that it had to be Half Life 3 now, which due to the bandwagon effect causes more people to expect that Valve must have put ~9 years of work into a game, when really it's more like 1 year with tidbits here and there.
People need to let go and stop building hype over fucking nothing.
>>336132091
that's wrong
http://www.develop-online.net/news/newell-we-ve-moved-beyond-the-episodic-model/0109248
they wanted to move on from the episodic model to shorter and shorter development cycles
I think the csgo/tf2/dota 2 updates show off what that was meant to be.

Guys... Gu, no guys! LISTEN.
Guys what if...
What ifall the money Steam has made will be pumped in the the production of HL3 using Steam as a advertisement platform making almost every penny useful for production instead of advertisingwould that make the best game ever made of all time ever?

>>336130987
I got stuck in that part too
I didn't even know I was suppose to look for a gear
>>336132000
Valve just used to seem like they were brimming with creative genius. Really, as Steam got more popular I thought that it would be used by Valve to experiement more with their games and not have to worry so much about sales and appeal and focus on making great games they themselves want to make. Sort of like how you'll find actors doing summer blockbusters for the cash and the favours, so they can go and do smaller projects they genuinely love easily.
I would love to see what they're doing there day to day now. It used to sound like a dream factory where the next great thing was always around the corner. Now it just feels like another company. And that's very sad.
>>336132390
They've been pumping a lot of money into VR stuff and Source 2 development, so my bet is on HL3 being the commercial test bed for these.
>>336132583
I blame their stupid office policy " just work on what you feel like :)"
turns out all they wanted to do was fucking nothing and let the community run their company by contributing with new mods,skins and models.
If you went back in time to the age of CS 1.6 and told everyone they would be able to pay real money to get custom skins on every server they would call you a fucking retard.

>>336131117
>>336131287
>>336132042
Why did it just stop?
They never gave a reason, after Episode 2 came out, they never mentioned it again ONCE. Like it never existed, it was weird as fuck. Why abandon a project like that? I just want closure.
>>336131509
>waste of money
Definitely not. They would make lots of money and that would not be a waste. But, they are already making lots of money so from a financial perspective it would probably not really be significant compared to how easy they rake in the dosh with Steam, which requires literally zero effort.
>>336132245
Pretty much what this anon said and this anon >>336131974 Steam is a fucking powerhouse and it doesn't look like it's stopping, making HL3 worthless to make at this point. If however online retailers such as Origin or PSN and Xbox Live's sales start increasing and hurt Steam I guarantee to you Valve will announce HL3 if not HL3 and L4D3 together and it will be PC exclusive.
>>336132583
And here we see a typical disillusioned valvedrone.
Despite the innumerable proof that Valve haven't been a 'good' company since 2004 (and possibly ever), he still insists that Valve's shittiness is a new and somehow unexpected development.
He does this to save face, and to avoid admitting the fact he used to cheerlead and defend a shitty company for years.
It is also very likely that he still has some hope for Half Life 3, and he hopes for a Portal 3 and/or L4D3, despite Portal 2 being an objectively worse casualized remake of Portal 1 and L4D2 being a disgusting rehash.
>Gabe will die within the next ten years
>>336132945
Waiting on new technology maybe? They've been developing Source 2, and though DOTA uses it, that hardly showcases its capabilities. HL3 will probably serve as a tech demo for Source 2.
>>336133261
Can we have it moved to the next 10 months instead?

Does anyone care anymore at this point?
It's been almost 10 years. I've moved on. I'm not going to upgrade my PC just to play an FPS that should have released in 2009.
And let's be honest. The FPS genre has no room left for innovation. Even if HL3 is the best FPS ever it will still be a disappointment.

>>336133883
no stop
don't bring back the good days
What would even be the point of releasing HL3 today anyway if over half the peoplew ho used to work on this franchise (including the lead wirter) have quit?
Even if it comes out, it'll be a quickly slapped-together heap of nothing special. Nothing offensively bad or anything, just bland and uninspired. The "it's been steadily worked on since 2007!!!" faggots are fucking delusional.
Even the stuff we've seen in Ep1 & Ep2 were mostly shit that's been cut from HL2, some dating as far back as 2000. Valve is a godawful company that haven't made a good game since 2008 (2009 if you're willing to give the L4D2 jewry a pass), stop acting like useful retards.

I understand that they didn't feel like making any more Half Lifes, but did they have to fucking end it like that? They could've just stopped where vanilla 2 ended and that would've been way more acceptable.
Does it feel like singleplayer-oriented experiences are being slowly phased out to anyone else?
It's spoopy
>>336133442
Hahaha
>>336134172
A. It never cuts away from the first person perspective
B. It never takes control away from the player (even when it does - it's for a short amount of time and perfectly explained in-universe because Gorden Freeman is physically restrained)
C. It has a decent plot and very good pacing
Name 3 games from the past 5 years to do it.
Fuck it, name 3 games from the past 10 years to do it.
I don't know why people are all that bothered about this. Half Life was a decent FPS game series but nothing more, not something worth waiting decades for.
Look at the cartoon industry, there are so many shows that were cancelled without ever getting a real ending. The Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, Sym-Biotic Titan, Megas XLR, Clone High and so forth, list goes on.
So why is it so unthinkable that a game series end abruptly and never pick back up?
>>336134408
The world is for the social and the extroverts.
If you can't do that, just watch Let's Plays on Youtube :^)
>>336134172
The Combine really, really, really stand out in comparison to the dozens of Nazi's in all of the WW2 shooters that came out around that time.
Unique weapons ( Gravity Gun, Bouncy Ball Combine Grenades, Ant Lion Spore Sacks etc. )
Better characters and storytelling then a lot of the other shooters of that timeframe.
I just want an ending.
I don't want to be like those people who died between The Two Towers and Return of the King being released back in 2003 to never know how it ended!

He clearly states that he loved them, like a lot of us did, but now it's all gone stale and quiet. Jesus, reading comprehension much
>>336134408
You just noticed?
The industry has collectively decided that every game needs to have some kind of multiplayer or social aspect, because that's what the Facebook audience wants.
If Half-Life 3 were released tomorrow, it would be one of the following:
1) Built around co-op, like F.E.A.R. 3.
2) Just a multiplayer game with no single-player; the cliff-hanger in the story will be ignored for another ten years.
2) An MMO.

I've heard rumors that it's on permanent hiatus (basically cancelled) because after taking so long there's no way anyone would be satisfied anyway.
After all, it's got over ten years of hype behind it.
What could they possibly do to justify over ten years of development?
I don't even care about it anymore.

Games now-adays also have stopped doing things like rewarding the player for climing to odd spots or for trying to break the illussion and utilise the freedom given to the players. Nowadays games either give you no freedom to play around or give you big free empty worlds.

Kettle. Black.
Video game developers today are picrelated.
They think of games are something you only reluctantly get into so you can spend time with other people. That's why multiplayer is always the most important thing and singleplayer campaigns is tacked on with a minimum amount of effort.
Because why play video games if it isn't to show your buddies your sick killscore?
>>336130371
>new monsters in episode 3
Euh. Crazy that there were even plans to have Ep 4, 5, 6 to be outsourced to Arkane Studios
>post your face when Half life 2 (12 year old game) has better facial animations than Fallout 4
Reminder that even if HL3 came out it would never live up to the hype.
It will suck. Releasing it would tarnish Valve's reputation forever.
Best to let it stay dead.
>>336135401
I'd settle for a comic at this point. Just to conclude the story. There's nothing Valve could possibly make that would be satisfactory as far as the video game is concerned.
>>336134771
>also the plot is incredibly good
It's really, really not.
Half-Life 1 didn't have much of a story. Meanwhile, Half-Life 2 didn't even continue that story so much as make meme references to it("Hey Gordon, here's your crowbar, the melee item from the first game which you read about on Wikipedia instead of actually playing it. Now you're all caught up. Enjoy!")while doing a completely new story with some of the same monsters. At best, the plot was written like Lost. You get a bunch of questions (like the identity of the G-Man, who he works for, etc.) and never any answers because the writers didn't even think about the answers yet. They just give you mysterious clues and imply that the answers to your questions exist when in fact they didn't even have enough good ideas to make a third DLC.
They're decent games though.
>>336135350
>gaben's death is not in development

I honestly wish Valve would just outsource an Episode 3 to the Slavs making the Metro games. According to a THQ interview those guys look in a little house writing code in Lawn Chairs. They must work for Vodka.

HL3 would sell AT LEAST 3.3 million 60$ copies in blind pre-orders/day 1 purchases. They can literally release a game called "Half-Life 3" that's a video of gaben farting on a crowbar, and make 200 million dollars in a month
If it was just about money, both ep3 and HL3 would be released before 2010

I don't have facebook. I don't know what they mean by "instant messaging", is that steam chat or skype or what?

What the fuck is this supposed to mean? Is it English? It makes no sense. "You are ignoring the problems you are taking on", how can you take on a problem and simultaneously ignore it? And WHAT problem? Is it that "every gamer has a facebook"? Is that the problem?

That's because it was, sometime around 2008-2010 they changed their plans, cancelled the HL2 spinoff they had another company working on and decided to focus on CSGO, TF2 and other projects that would make a lot of money throughout long periods of time.

We hope that the long-awaited ep3 will be everything the fans have dreamt of at more, and now in mind-blowing virtual reality curtsey of HTC Vive."

They were specifically quoted saying that it's not commercially viable since Steam is performing so well on its own, namely TF2, CS:GO, and Dota 2. Pumping resources into a triple A game at this time would just be unwise. tl;dr f2p skins hats and loot crates literally killed Half-Life.

This is what happens what your lord and saviour is a fucking autist. Gaben cares for innovation, at least as far as different systems are concerned, and he doesn't give two fucks about the story and the characters. He isn't wrong though with his wealth being a clear indicator of that but at the same time people have a full right to be mad at him if they choose to.
>>336136231
Too bad Freeman's mind has never been remotely clever or funny.
>>336137276
I truly believe that we are living in some sort of bizarro reality due to all the weird shit in the news these days. We must be because Duke Nukem Forever was actually released, which was an impossibility and must have caused a paradox.
>>336131760
TEAR MY LIFE INTO PIECES!
I want hl3,but I know it's better if it's never released.
the current state of the industry means it will be a generic FPS, because no one at valve is interested is sound tech, geographical architecture, or even TECHNOLOGY altogether.
I don't want to sound like a commie, but money ruined everything.

it's definitely worth watching.
Ross is an acquired taste; like whisky, cigarettes, and the souls of The Fallen In Battle.
I mean, how many people do videos about games without trying to sell it to you?
I just want them to admit it.
Just fucking admit they don't care about games and just want to cash in on Steam and VR, that ep3 will never be released.
I think the fanbase deserves that much, atleast.

>"The only reason we'd go back and do a super-classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people internally at Valve said that they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why [they did], but if you wanna do another Half-Life game, and you wanna ignore everything we've learned, [...] that seems like a bad choice, so we'll keep moving forward, but that doesn't necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean."

>>336139224
No actually.
>>336135906
Well shit.
Prepare to be dissapointed with the half life movie.
>>336131509
And yet L4D3 is being made. I'm pretty sure if HL3 were announced, the internet would explode in hype, with even fags who've never played a half life game before would join in on the hype just because it's a meme at this point. HL3 would sell like diamonds, but whether or not it would be a satisfying conclusion to their flagship series is another issue altogether.
>>336139605
why do so many people like JJ's shit so much? he's such a hack, I don't think I've ever seen anything he's done that didn't turn out disappointing.
>>336138990
What else could it mean, Gabe? Every major developer who worked with you since HL1 had left. What else could it mean?
>>336140045
> I don't think I've ever seen anything he's done that didn't turn out disappointing.
I agree, but the final product is always something watchable. I don't think I ever regret paying for the ticket to one of his films.

Gay Ben only cares about money nowadays. You can't sell hats and other microtransaction shit in a singleplayer game.
>>336132945
Why make games when they take 1000's of hours to do and cost a ton of money when you can just sell other devs games and pointless in-game items (hats, csgo skins etc.)
>you will never finish the Half-Life story

Why have no other games but commentary nodes in? Seems relatively easy to do and really interesting.
>>336141514
Portal, HL2/Ep1 and TF2 all have commentary nodes as well.
TF2's nodes are even more heartbreaking to listen to.
>>336141051
Do you think that guy, to this day, still checks that post daily and gets proud of himself that he roasted Gaben?
>>336141672
>all the work they put into Hydro
>nobody plays it
>>336141672
What's heartbreaking about TF2's? Half of them are about the insane concepts they wanted to do with the game. What we got was much better.
>>336141745
Gabe got roasted by everyone in that thread. It was a fucking disaster

Will steam ever really die?

I meant other than Valve games from the Orange Box Era.

>>336142305
I think it's because the head isn't moving up or down, they're just controlling it like you would in Halo or something with a controller where the head automatically moves to level.

"cinematic" mod i think. Alyx gave a smugass grin in the original when she said "Dr. Freeman I presume?" But not in this.
>>336142556
Everything ends eventually.
>>336141761
>They work really hard on the aesthetic of each character
>Now we have neon flaming hats
So I told Eric to write the plot into a corner so hard that it is completely irrecoverable, and he actually did it
The absolute madman
What really hurts isn't that HL3 hasn't been released yet, it's seeing how Valve focuses on useless shit like Steamlink, BigPicture, Steam Controller and VR instead.
I've grown so tired, I just want closure of the story on this series.
>>336130041
Eh penis :^)
>Foster got picked up by valve

>at this rate we'll get Dragon Quest X or even die before HL3 comes out
fat gay fuck and his stupid knife collection and DRM platform
I'm sure Valve will get back to making new games once Source 2 is completed. Dota 2 is the first test of Source 2, then they'll port their other games and make something new.
>>336144101
>got off the boat
Come again?
Does that one guy still have cancer? Are they still using that as an excuse?
>>336144452

Oh good. Can't wait for them to break everything again.
>>336129952
Why is Alyx white if her dad is black?
>>336144452
>being this delusional
I think we all need to just accept the fact that the Valve we all once knew is dead.
>>336138990
>in the future New HL is announced
>it turns out to be a spin off and never actually concludes the main storyline
>>336140045
It really depends.
He makes movies and has decent cinematography abilities, the problem with his movies is the stories.
A lot of them are designed around this "Whoa its a mystery thing duuuuude, why is it all like this? Whats the meaning behind this?"
or suffer from a plot that has extremely crazy coincidences.
JJ has this type of style/curse where he's somehow stuck with where his movies are just sub-par, nothing extraordinary or they get forgotten really quickly. (I hardly remember how the stories went in his movies)
Its pretty much what happens for him in his movies, he's not someone who I guess stands out when it comes to his products, but he himself stands out.
>>336144638
Alyx is half asian half black
>>336144638
He got cucked by Gordon.
