"It'll take a lot to actually make any "Half Life" fan think that something concrete is happening with "Half-Life 3." It's been seven years since the last game in the series- "Half-Life 2: Episode 2," and since then, there's been absolutely no word about a sequel. At all."
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
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.
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.
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 has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
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.
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.
Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.
Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.
Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.
Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?
Valve does not make games with the number 3 in the title. They never have. They never will. Unless they make a game called "3" just to mess with their fanbase.
"When will we actually see it?"
At The Last Guardian release.
lol.
If any game is destined to fail to live up to hype, it's HL3. It's just been too many years of anticipation. Anything short of revolutionary (which is pretty much impossible to do in games these days, evolutionary sure), will just disappoint. Valve is probably scared of making HL3, the series has so much positive regard that it can only go down from here. Todays gamers would probably just hate on it..."mp unbalanced, graphics didn't blow my mind, COD clone with down the sites aiming, story not long enough, co-op is better elsewhere, ect". Better the series dies a hero than continue on long enough to be hated.
Look valve, its obvious that people want another half-life.
Give it to them.
