Admits Valve president Gabe Newell in his Reddit AMA.
I'm no longer excited about HL3, haven't been for a long time, but a new Portal game would be most welcome.
Good god he's alive! Thought he might have keeled over after the SteamOS launch, or lack of.
Never been bothered by another HL. HL2 didn't do it for me.
IMO Valve have fallen asleep at the wheel in all areas, perhaps M$ will poach quite a few players after all. Source 2 is the most interesting, but we knew this in 2015 so its recycled news.
1? one? ONE? Portal 2 is known to be in develpoment for close to 10 years now. "big news"
What do you mean portal 2? That's been out for years.Quote:

It'll be worth the weight though. Worth the weight, Coral. WORTH THE WEIGHT.
A VR Half Life game isn't very appealing considering the fact that free movement FPS games don't work well in VR unless your happy getting sick.
So meh, Half Life is old now and those who still care about it are old too (me included), whatever Valve make will be forgotten quickly once the nostalgia wears off.
Half Life 3 finally?

Waiting so long (almost double the years), from HL2 graphics to current latest technologies, would it be worth it? Increasing the pixel count, antialiasing, dynamic hair, cloth, full destruction, etc, I still do not see a massive leap compared to how big of a difference HL2 was to HL1. You could even argue the gaming industry just simply hasn't advanced fast enough.. Now if they do all the above in improving graphics and also using VR it will be the game changer and impossible to flop, the same way HL2 was hard to flop too, because it looked so great.
No way I'm spending hundreds more pounds on top of my graphics card to play a game. VR is still a long way off for me.
Stunned to hear that Valve still know how to make games, it's been so long.
The whole Half-Life 3 thing has gone on too long. I'm not sure they could produce anything that would satisfy the hype. Also isn't a bit late? Half-life came out in 1998 - almost twenty years ago. Surely by now it classes as a reboot and not a sequel. I can't imagine kids today will have any patience to play the original - or understand why it was so critical at the time.
may i direct your attention to black mesa,a re-re-boot (after half-life source}. it started off being a fan-made mod and is now a commercial release(on steam).Quote:

all done by, relative to me anyway, kids.
check out moddb, a repository of user-generated content for all your fave games, bods there do have the patience to play h-l, but not the patience to wait for stuff like h-l 3.
they make it themselves.
I've played BlackMesa and it's great. Still, I reckon it'll be a niche game more for the nostalgic than new comers.
Title will be HL3:Winds of Winter.
I am more interested in a Portal 2 or L4D2 sequel TBH.
