"OMG they're totally announcing Half-Life 3 for real this time" article #179564564633

nveenio4368d ago

It has to come eventually, and the longer the wait, the bigger the hype. It's one game in which people won't lose interest (unlike Duke Nukem).

Snookies124368d ago

@inveni0 - People didn't lose interest in Duke Nukem Forever... At least, not real fans of the series. Honestly though, Duke had been away much longer than Half Life lol.

I'm thinking it'll be a PS3 timed exclusive....before the shower of disagrees, lol Valve did say that Sony should be rewarded for opening up there Network. Maybe I'm wishing on a star, or maybe I'm just so sane I just blew your mind. ;).

Hey Margaret! FIST PUMP! -RS

nveenio4368d ago

You think? 'Cause DNF is on sale at Best Buy for $3.............so...

I know, I know, that's after the fact. But I was a huge fan of the Duke games, but the more it was delayed, and the more crappy screenshots we saw, I realized that no one was going to do it the justice and respect it deserved. So I lost interest, like any conscious buyer would.

this time will it be real? lol Half Life 3 if announched will literally steal E3...also maybe if more of GTA5 is shown too.

ATi_Elite4368d ago

I thought Valve was working on Ricochet 2?

We've been tortured for almost 5 years now.

Nimblest-Assassin4368d ago (Edited 4368d ago )

probably not HL3. IGN probably woke up and smelt coffee... unless its some elaborate.

I think its a trailer for meet the pyro... but still, never stop believing

One day... one day

I bet its nothing HL3 related

unknownhero11234368d ago

yup, it's ign being dumb trolls as usual which will make that tweet ironic since half life fans will burn down the ign offices.

user54670074369d ago (Edited 4369d ago )

So theres two ways this could play out

1) They are trolling us, this is a direct quote from the G-Man but they are just using it to hype people up, get people interested and then announce the Meet the Pryo video.

...but then again did IGN make such a big fuss over the other "Meet the..." videos ?

2) This is the real deal and they are going to tease us right up to E3 or up to another ARG which will then lead up to E3.

..."bu bu but the email said they wern't annoucing HL3 at E3". The email...is fake.

paddystan4369d ago

I can feel it...i can feel it...that Gabe is trolling us again.

D3vilzRightHand4369d ago

GIVE ME HALF LIFE 3 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!! :D

Seriously tho, When HL3 is geting its first pics here on N4g i will Fap and drool my self to death.

Cant wait !

Ace_Man_64369d ago

But you don't want to "drool yourself to death" because then you wouldn't be able to play the new Half-Life lol

Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 Fan Projects Shut Down by Valve Takedowns

Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.

-Foxtrot96d ago

First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.

Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.

rlow196d ago

@Foxtrot
It’s called money plain and simple.

JEECE96d ago

I mean, that might explain the Team Fortress 2 thing, because Valve might bring that to Source 2 (though I'm not sure I'd bet on that), but I can't see how Portal 64 hurts them. If anything, it's more attention to the Portal and therefore Valve/Steam.

Giblet_Head96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.

Inverno95d ago

You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.

Valve Opens the Floodgates to Allow More AI Based Games on Steam

Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.

Droppedez96d ago

AI is just another form of slavery for our computer brethren.

Barlos96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.

BrainSyphoned95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
