GR - "The Walking Dead by Telltale Games was, by all accounts, an enormous success. It sold over 8 million copies and won numerous Game of the Year awards in 2012. It's not surprising, therefore, that Telltale intends to develop a second season of the game which picks up where episode 5 left off with a new story with all new horrors to overcome."
A new Half-Life making-of has revealed details about cancelled Valve projects, including Half-Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, a Dark Souls-inspired RPG, and more.
wait so I have to pay Steam money for this "Video" and Epic Games are the ones who are greedy? FOH
Open world L4D game?
I'm curious
I'd love to see Zoe, Francis and Louis come back, or maybe Bill if they pretend the cross over with L4D2 never happened and they went North to Canada.
Damn I want more Half-Life and L4D..
Half-Life would be less jarring if it didn't end on such a cliff hanger.
Hard to believe that was all the way back in 2007.
Wow, great plans all flushed down the toilet. These probably would have all sold well too. A fan in me no more of valve.

I’d love a portal 3 but I don’t know where you’d go with it. The second one pretty much wrapped up every thing nicely.
Don't bother with Valve IPs anymore they don't make games anymore just focus on Steam.
Gabe Newell's omni-studio might not have the appetite for Half-Life 3 anymore - but these developers could do it.
It's interesting but after all this time i don't think it's possible to launch a HL3 game without disappointing fans in some way.
Do they keep the old mechanics and risk the game feeling dated?
Do they overhaul the game play systems to be more competitive and risk alienating hardcore fans?
Who writes the story as the writers from the original have long since parted ways with valve?
Is it even worth it? HL2 ep 2 was released in 2007 games have evolved dramatically in the past 12 years and the same techniques and story devices have been surpassed these days and valve hasn't released a fully story driven game since portal 2 in 2011 (even that's a little debatable as to how much story it had IMO it was light on story intentionally but lots of fun).
Most fans have developed their own theories and there are so many possibilities out there with the direction the story could have went maybe Valve don't want a 3 because it will never live up to fans and their own story they create after ep 2.
If we see anything HL related from vavle i would prefer it to be set around an entirely new cast
LET THEM DO IT!
I'd want this to be heavily policed by Valve if it happened.
I disagree with Telltale. They are already working on 2 other episodic games, as well as another season of TWD, and as good as Half Life is, I don't think it suits this style of, 'game'.
TWD was amazing as it has always been solely about the characters. Half-life has other stuff going on that might detract from it in this form of game. They could prove me wrong though, as they did an excellent job with TWD.
Love the idea of a halo/star wars story game. HF3, not so much.
