Nvidia hinting at Half Life 3?

[PinkiePyro]

i would like a left4dead 3 more than half life 3 as I perfer l4D and plus i wanna watch another fanboy rage party

 

[lacktheknack]

They're also announcing something on the April 29th. So is this the moment nerds everywhere have been waiting for? Or is Valve trolling again?

Actually, you guys are trolling YOURSELVES. I see no necessary reason why zombies + crowbar = HALF LIFE 3!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd bet on it being anything else.

Remember, Valve have proven time and time again that their dev teams can't count to three (Left 4 Dead has 1, 2 and 4, Portal has 1 and 2, Team Fortress has 1 and 2, and Half Life has 1, 2, 2:1 and 2:2.)

 

[Dryk]

But the fact that they've shown or told us nothing is what infuriates me. Hell, Half-Life 2 was getting demos in, what, 2001? COME ON!!!!!!!!

They've said they don't want to jump the gun on showing it in case they decide to change something and it falls back into pre-production for another few years, because that would just make people even more annoyed

 

[EHKOS]

It's Crash Bandicoot 4. I can't wait. ND are back and porting to PC. I bet that's it.

Does Valve even make games anymore, or has Steam consumed them entirely?

Since 2007 -
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Team Fortress 2
Portal
Alien Swarm
Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead 2
Portal 2
Dota 2
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Um...yeah. Pretty sure they still make games. Why do people even ask this?

That's a lot of 2s. Where is the new IP? I adore valve when they create new intellectual property. Half life, Portal and TF have all been brilliant games. They can bury Half Life for all I care. More new games please.

I can't help it....

Valve would not do it this way. No way would they use NVIDIA to sell their product. This is just creating meaningless hype. They day I see a half-life crowbar with the nvidia eye on it is a really shitty day indeed.

Yeah, Valve hasn't released a game since 2011. They have stopped making game entirely.

 

[Grey Day for Elcia]

Who even cares about Half-Life anymore? Yeah, it was cool little series. Operative word being was. I think people just enjoy masturbating their nostalgia hardon a little too much. Old series, was fun at the time, there's hundreds of new titles, get over it.

It's like some tragic case of someone never getting over their highschool crush.

 

[lRookiel]

Oh look a Half Life 3 thread...settling back into the norms after the Mass Effect 3 fiasco are we Escapist?

Oh that reminds me I need to rage at the ending some more.

(I don't even own the fucking game >.>)

Because it's not over.

Seriously, if Tolkien had just written LOTR 1 and 2 and left it there you wouldn't be saying "why do people eve care about LOTR any more? Yeah, it was a cool little series. Was, because I don't understand that something that had it's latest instalment released 5 years ago does not warrant nostalgia. It's clearly an old series, and because it's old in my personal opinion that must mean it's worthless now. There's clearly stuff out there that you could enjoy more, might as well forget about it now."

On the list of dumbest things I've ever heard.

 

[Kouen]

Here we go again...

Lets hope people dont get there hopes up to the heavens again, Its probs going to be for Dead Island 2 or Some Post Apocalyptic game that has some Zombies in it.

I'll start getting any sort of hyped up when I get a official announcement from valve

 

[Woodsey]

That's not the HL crowbar. And I doubt Valve would give announcing responsibilities to Nvidia.

So, no.

Like this person ^ Mention your personal opinion that people need to get over the series and BAM, all offended and upset, calling you a twat and using ad hominem attacks like it's a good way to get across your point.

The series was cut short. Valve's not working on it. Move along. Did Half-Life save you from a burning building as a child, or something?

For the record, the Lord of the Rings trilogy were three small books in a massive collection of writings in the Middle Earth universe and it's nowhere near being "finished" and resolved. I'm a huge fan of the lore and I couldn't give one toss that the world will never be complete. Know why? What I did get was enjoyable and that's enough. I've, you know, moved on with my life.

I'm sure they have a team working with the F-Stop mechanic they had originally planned for Portal 2.
If you know how VALVe actually works you can see why they release like they do.
VALVe has a structure where everyone is equal and they do whatever they want. So someone will have an idea and recruit others to work on that idea with them inside the company. So people can move (literally move their desk) to whatever project they want.

Don't they know that April Fools is at the beginning of April, not the end?

Valve Time.

I want this to be real so bad.
DOOOON'T STOOP. BELEEEEIIVIN'... *sobs*

You don't know how VALVe works as a company. You don't know if they are working on it (which I assure you, they would be). As I mentioned in my last post: VALVe has a structure where everyone is equal and they do whatever they want. So someone will have an idea and recruit others to work on that idea with them inside the company. So people can move (literally move their desk) to whatever project they want.
I highly doubt that there is nobody in the entirety of VALVe who wants to work on HL3. That's just ridiculous. I would say that that means that it's not cut short, it's having a long development cycle, which VALVe is famous for having. It'll be done when it's done, and it'll probably be damn good.
And my point was that it's not like Tolkien went and stopped the series. The series was over. Your point about the universe not being full is pointless.

So in conclusion: you're wrong, completely exclusive of me calling you a twat

See what I mean? Give the Valve/Half-Life fanboys and girls one nibble or throw out an opposing opinion and they'll go on and on about it for weeks.

Maybe you should stop posing questions to nobody and start reading it.
