Max Ernst Posted September 19, 2013 Love the idea of waiting years for this to come out and seeing a Games for Windows logo and thinking "no, fuck that" and walking out of the store empty handed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted September 20, 2013 Okay, new plan: Nobody posts in this thread until Half-Life 3 is 100% certifiably confirmed by Valve. No speculation, no German leaks, no nothing. The next post in this thread will contain a screenshot, or at least a logo. If you agree/disagree, don't post! side note: my theory is that every time Gabe sees a fat joke about him on the internet he pushes HL3 back another day out of spite.

melmer Posted September 20, 2013 Now with steam box being a thing coming out next year. Will HL3 be a launch title? (Doubtful) L4D3 definitely will be though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted September 20, 2013 I'm betting on some sort of a super 3-pack with Half-Life 2: Episode 3, Half-Life 3, Portal 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Team Fortress 3 and Dota 3. I hope they are not planning to include Alien Swarm 3 as well because that would mean that they'd have to release Alien Swarm 2 first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted September 20, 2013 They could just skip Alien Swarm 2. Also that reminds me how disappointed I am that they didn't continue to support Alien Swarm. I enjoy some top-down multiplayer shootin', but there's not much actual content to that game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted September 20, 2013 I just read a comment saying HL2 HD CONFIRMED . I wouldn't be surprised if this happens especially if they are planning on continuing HL2's story in 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted September 20, 2013 Well, we know for a fact they're working on a Source 2 (a real Source 2), so it stands to reason they'll do Half-Life: Source 2 and Half-Life 2: Source 2 and Ricochet: Source 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrik Posted September 20, 2013 Yes. And if they keep to tradition, Half-Life 2: Source 2 will be identical to it's predecessor except the water will have full fluid and wave simulation physics. I'm personally looking forward to Half-Life 2: Episode 2: Source 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted September 20, 2013 Half-Life 2: Source 2 will also open up entirely new avenues for speed-running while simultaneously halting old ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tundra Posted September 20, 2013 id love valve or some other AAA dev to use the GTAV engine, the scale and quality is insane and a real shame only rockstar will use.imagine Half Life 3 in an open world.filled with strangers, and content you could miss entirely through its scale and detail.

Twig Posted September 21, 2013 srs dscsn: If HL3 was open-world like that, I'd probably be severely disappointed. I'd totally be into a new franchise (or maybe a side story in the Half-Life world) with that structure, but I don't think I want that out of HL3. As I typed that I thought of STALKER, so maybe it could work pretty well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
