ya know im sure valve has something in mind, even if its the smalled glimpse of a teaser they will probably have something to show for it. half life is huge, and they know episode 3 is very anticipated. valve is smart, they know whats up. so i think they will have something to show us and have an estimated release date with minor details. the anticipation is killing me.. i need more gordon! haven't you guys played half life 1? i hope so.
After the aperture science teaser site I am sure they will try a similar tactic for EP3. That said it takes Valve ages to do anything, so I can't see it coming out before 2010.
i think that half life ep3 wont come out until late this year or early 2010. but when it comes out it will be awsmly awsome and i know it will live up to its expectations. ps.ty for the artical
i think that half life is one of the best games ever made, and i have the feeling episode 3 will be released as downloadable content for the orange box, lol im so excited about ep 3 ive been reading about it since 2007 xD
i think it will be another 2 years before episode 3 is released, cuz you have to think they had been working on Left 4 Dead and now their prolly workin on DLC for L4D and MAYBE just now starting on the development of Ep3
y does valve take forever to release games?. if it takes em more then 2 years to release an EPisode. how much will it take em to release HL3?. 10 years?:?

Got to remember that Valve are smart, they don't make bad games, they take as long as they need to to ensure that their games are the best. I mean, would you prefer them to release like a bad game every year, or wait a couple years for a truly outstanding experience, I think more Game Developers should take a leaf out of Valve's book and try and focus more on the quality of their games rather than how many of them they release.
I got some inside stuff here, i was searching google on about page 23 all i searched was half life episode 3 lol, the forum said the game starts starts with you escaping city 17 in a helicopter, being chased by those things that killed eli. but crash in some forest outside of another city, then you get captured by the combine or something. the game ends at elis funeral.

but how good are their games? isnt it better to wait a bit then to get a bad buggy game? half life 2, tf2, l4d are all masterpieces but we had to wait. and im happy to wait a little longer for ep3
basicaly gabe newell said that once half life epsisode 1 2 and 3 were released that those episodes would be basicaly half life 3 and then half life 4 if they ever get to it will be on the source 2
source is amazing. valve is seriously the best game developers today alongside of infinity ward. they truely know how to make good games. ya know how long it took to make half life 1? i dont have a problem waiting a long time, the anticipation is what keeps society rolling. i just hope we are alive by the time it comes out!!

But those companies that are putting out the horrible games are in it for the money and it shows. Consumers are still buying those bad games as well so there's not really anything stopping them from pumping out a new game every year.
ah your right but cod4 was revolutionary and i cant wait to see modern warfare 2. it was the only other developer i can think of. wait, capcom and resident evil 5 is pretty amazing :)
i've been waiting for news about it for so long, i mean with the whole cliffhanger thing at the end of episode 2 it makes you want the next part of the series even more, i really hope they don't use the source engine though cos it's getting really dated

X( . But you are right, the way they present new puzzles each time and badass cinematic, you think that they wont exceed the quality barrier they created. But they keep on breaking the barrier. Not to mention it's hard to make a better squeals to a blockbuster games.
Call of Duty 4 was developed in about 1 and a half years. It took less than a year for it to become the best-selling first-person shooter ever made. Let me repeat that. The best-selling first-person shooter ever made.
Yes. Infinity Ward is that good.
Valve needs to step it up. I really like their games, but the one-game-per-decade rule they seem to have is extremely annoying. Their games aren't nearly good enough to warrant such long development times. Hell, no game in history is good enough to warrant such long development times. They might think it's cute to leave their fans waiting for so long, but if they don't act soon, their fans are going to start disappearing.
