GB: "Valve's Half Life 3 is a lot like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - except you're Bad Luck Brian and the gold turns out to be a conductor for lightning which strikes you as soon as you touch it. That is to say, Half Life 3 is only as good as it is true; it's only as true as if gamers can touch it; and right now, both scenarios just seem too good to be anything right now. But the question on everyone's lips and fingertips: Is it going to happen? Will Valve pull the trigger on the game and just announce it?"
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
Could be at this years E3
With MS and Sony showiung off next gen consoles we might see the reveal of Source 2 and then a new game to show it off on which will obviously be HL3
I would like to think they'll do a another Orange box
HL3
L4D - With extras
L4D2 - With extras
CounterStrike GO
and maybe...just maybe TF3 if not that TF2 for consoles but with the PC upgrades
Yes.
valve dont know how to count to 3
Apparently you guys haven't done any easter egg searching in Portal 2....

Lets see if this turns out to be true.
No doubt The game is In development, but when will we see a release?
Half Life 2 episode 2 was released in 2007 So its been like almost 6 years since the last Half life game. I just dont see why they cant confirm the games development or give any kind of info, this is killing me.
