Half Life 2: Episode 3 in Unreal Engine 4 cancelled, new Source-powered fan game under development

DSOGaming writes: "Back in August, we informed you about a prototype version of a fan Half Life 2: Episode 3 game in Unreal Engine 4. Created by Trebla Freeman, this prototype featured a simple map map and a working gravity gun. And as we suspected, this Half Life 2 Unreal Engine 4 fan game is too much for a single guy. As such, this project may never see the light of day."

I think HL 3 anything has become the fabled unicorn, Bigfoot, or four leaf clover of gaming. Valve sucks!

roadkillers2800d ago

Meh, at least they ended it on a high note. Name one franchise that ended on a high note? Okay, I want to list the games that were great and fell.

Call of Duty
Halo
Bioshock (infinite was average)
Resident Evil (there has been so many shitty games)
SoulCalibur (Definitely didn't end with a 10/10 like the original)
Tony Hawk
Mass Effect

There is legit no bad Half Life game. Period. .

Fist4achin2800d ago

I guess that is one way to look at it. Just hoped for a little more closure. Even bad closure is still closure.

The Witcher franchise started and ended on a high note.
I believe that Valve will succeed with Half Life 3 if they invest some big bucks. After that they need to stop though.

The Witcher was never as mainstream as Half-Life until The Witcher 3.

Silent Hills cancellation was a travesty.

mrbearbear695d ago

I still wonder to this day if it was a reboot, or sequel.

cammers1995696d ago

Lol. The tags made it so I didn't have to visit your website.

goldwyncq695d ago

Kojima wouldn't have started his own studio if Silent Hills didn't get cancelled so even if it stung at first, I'm fine with it.

chobit_A5HL3Y695d ago

i remember being so excited for patriots for years, only to have them release that siege trash. i hate how multiplayer games, pvp in particular, have ruined so many potentially good games.

15 Years Ago This Month, Valve Announced Half-Life 2: Episode 3

Zack Zwiezen writes, "It seems like just yesterday when Valve announced a trilogy of expansions for their super-popular PC game, 2004's Half-Life 2. But it’s actually been 15 years since Episode 3 was announced. And while Valve has since released a new Half-Life game, it wasn’t the one the developer announced back in 2006."

Still hurts a little that we didn’t get Ep3… and the “leaked” plans for it sounded like a great finale to the HL2 story arc.

-Foxtrot1477d ago

It sounded fantastic and it's a shame we'll never get that

The ending of Half Life Alyx and what it did basically put the nail in the coffin for those plans.

Fntastic1477d ago

Whatever they release next i hope it's not catered to consoles first. Back 4 Blood seems to be going that route by having automatic flashlights, but i have high hopes Valve won't water down any games as they are usually released on PC way earlier, like HL2 and HLA.

Man, I wish I played Half-Life 2 when it first came out so I could love it like the fans do.

I played it on Xbox 360 and I thought it was ok. I recognize it set a standard for a lot of things like physics in game and story-telling in an FPS, but I think by the time I played it the design had been improved upon by other games.
