If what I saw is the real deal, I'm already intrigued!

Chubear5159d ago

.. sure, "leaked" O.o lol

Noble Spartan5159d ago

Damn hope its real, Can't wait for EP3. Been a long time. Half Life series is awesome.

ATi_Elite5159d ago

I don't think this is real as the girl on the bottom right doesn't look like a Half Life character.

Ep3 can take place any where but ultimatley it will end up at the ship called the Borealis somewhere in the Artic.

only news that's legit is that Ep3 will be as long as HL2 plus Ep1 and Ep 2 combined. Unless they shorten it.

just have to wait till Q4 2011 to blast Combine with an AR2.

sabestar5160d ago

I don't think this is from Episode 3. Doesn't make sense bec I think that is New York in the background. Why would the series shift to New York?

But I seriously can't wait for the 3rd episode. Year after year, Valve keeps releasing different products and keep holding us out of the big one.
Portal 2 looks very good (better than having l4d3) but I wish the 3rd episode arrives this year.

ReservoirDog3165159d ago

Well I'm not saying it's real or not but Gordon and Alyx were about to go on a pretty far trip right before the end of episode 2.

They never exactly said exactly where the Borealis was.

Either way, can't wait.

Dark_Vendetta5159d ago

Didn't they mention something about snow and ice when they were talking about the trip?
Valve should at least give us a year

Pennywise5160d ago

I would like to hear about a new engine being worked on by valve.

Fishy Fingers5159d ago

HL3 will be using a new engine.

Pennywise5159d ago

I figured it would. I remember being so excited picking up HL2 day one for my PC. I just can't get excited for episodes of such an old outdated game/engine.

I would be excited to hear about HL3 with the new engine. Give me some CS2 and my PC might actually get some use!

nouman19895160d ago

PC gaming is dead! This screen shot makes me laugh so hard at the statement! Bring it on

borgome5160d ago

in this game are in desperate need of an update. No matter how good the graphics are it won't feel like a current generation game if it plays like preivous Half-Life titles.

Letros5159d ago

WASD + Mouse = Standard, what's the problem?

Pandamobile5159d ago

Why the hell would Valve change the controls. It's been the same since 1998 and no-one's compaining about it.

ATi_Elite5159d ago

how about a big ole spoonful of STFU about the controls. As I may recall Mr. Freeman and all his weapons and vehicles control better than any game out.

name one game with the accuracy of shooting a crossbow at arms and legs of the combine and still be able to drift a dune buggy?

The controls are fine. Dam near perfect.

Press Start: I wish Valve could count to three

Video game developer Valve is responsible for bringing us some of the most beloved game franchises in history, Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee writes. It's just too bad so many will end unfinished.

We live in a world where the previously mythological games such as Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts 3, Shenmue 3, Persona 5, Metroid Prime 4, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, Ni-Oh, Doom 4, Psychonauts 2, Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last Guardian, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Beyond Good or Evil 2 & Darksiders 3 are actually real and were either released last year, this year, next year, or many years from now.

Hell we even got a new Bubsy game of all things coming out soon and Atari is talking about releasing a new console.

But god forbid we ever get a third installment in a Valve franchise.

CrowbaitBob2442d ago

I was all ready to say something derogatory about your comment (because reasons) and then you mentioned Bubsy and I completely lost my train of thought. Off to google me some upcoming Busby! See, I can't even think straight enough to spell Bysbu correctly.

ElementX2443d ago (Edited 2443d ago )

The writers of Portal and Half Life have left Valve. Any sequel would be welcome, but somehow feel like fan-fic. Maybe it would be best to create a new story arc and leave the old stories unfinished.

chris2352443d ago

i wish this was the overall credo of the industry. we would have to deal with much less reheated and senselessly prolonged crap.

Gh05t2442d ago

Exactly, The people that have made the games we love, the games we love, arent working there anymore. I couldnt make a better Portal than Portal 2 if I had an eternity. And what is the upside, Its a hit and Valve makes another mountain of money (that it arguably doesnt need)... while the downside is destroying the image of having some of the best games ever.

Being practical, its just not a good move if they cant find a way to make it perfect and who says they haven't tried.

Fist4achin2442d ago

Couldn't they just sell the IPs or contract a developer to make them with valve's final approval?!

Valve kind of sucks in this regard...

rlow12443d ago

Gabe only cares for his pockets, for someone that started his own game company because he didn't like the big corps.......he sure has become one himself. Whats worse he is aware people want it, I guess people can have a lump of coal for a heart.

chris2352443d ago

now tell me you would be any different in the same situation.

rlow12442d ago

Actually I would finish it for the fans sake and would've of done so 4 yrs ago. They have oodles of money and Gabe has said anyone in the company could just start making the game if they wanted to. If that was so then the recent departures of those teams that made it would have done it. Gabe is the roadblock plain and simple.

bluefox7552443d ago

I'd much rather have Portal 3 than Half Life 3 tbh.

Yui_Suzumiya2443d ago

I would love both but Portal 2 resolved the story as where Half-Life left on a huge friggin cliffhanger!

Relientk772443d ago

Me too, Valve sucks at math

Portal 3 and Half-Life 3 please

Prince_TFK2442d ago (Edited 2442d ago )

Oh you want Portal 3 and HL3? Well, tough luck. Here, have a new card game instead! - Valve.

Smh.
