[Satan]

Does anyone know whats going on with the next installment for half-life? I cant find anything about it anymore and really really desire the next half-life to come.

Don't get your hopes up , it's not going to come out. Years has pased and they arent' doing sh*it about it.

Damnit. Well maybe one day they'll change their minds.

Eventually they will, they haven't forgotten their most famous game. With Source 2 coming out soon, it hints HL3 will come out or they will port all their games to it (L4D, TF, Portal, etc.) and that hints HL3. It maybe 5 years, or 1 year, but HL3 will come out eventually. (Hopefully made by Valve).

one day......

I hope its coming in 2015 or 2016 E3...im done waiting :(

[Satan]

it just needs to be here, and when the new source engine comes they can just update hahaha. Im so sick of waiting. HL is one of the best franchises for a story. I still run through the original ones just because.

Its is coming and basically confirmed because of a series of small leaks over the past years. This video basically confirms HL3.. for the last time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7pbCj3xyMk

Well we know they are working on L4D3 and HL3 coz a screenshot got leaked from their work list when some DoTa2 players were taking a tour of the Valve. I very much doubt they stopped all work on it but valve works weird as the staff get to choose what they work on. So for a few weeks or months some will work on HL3 then get abit bord and goes to work with the TF2 team, etc etc. With Source engine 2 in the works i bet they have just shifted work onto the new engine. PLus they got SteamMachines and Steam OS coming out and much like they did with Steam with HL2 they'll prob use HL3 to push the sales of SteamMachines etc. TF2 was in the works since 1999, saw the light of day after alot of changes in 2007. The only real annoying thing is that i started playing HL1 when i was in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ school its now been 16 years since then ffs and still no final part to the story, and its been 7 years since HL2EP2.

I think and hope that SteamMachines were to be out this year but that got pushed back to 2015 so i can see it being 2016 before we hear anything. If nothing in those 2 years then i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ give up, ive been at the point of not really giving too much of a ♥♥♥♥ for awhile now anyway, ill get it if it were to come out next month but not in any hurry.

All I can say is..........What an unmitigated pile of frustration!

[Satan]

yes, yes......most definitely

TF2 took nine years and even then technically did not stop being developed. Just to put things into perspective.

It is like DNF eh?
HL2 EP2 was only seven years ago... not 13.
TF2 took nine years... solid gold.
Different developers with different financial sutuations and orginization.
HL3 was never offically announced, and thus was never delayed.

Remeber these things the next time someone makes unwarrented DNF comparisons... they are bol locks.

I personally think, that it isn't going to take long until we get to see a release date or, god forbid, even the game. Regarding the leaks and facts adressed in the video Robo_Warrior posted, it's rather safe to assume, that HL3 will come out simutaniously with the new Source-Engine and/or the steam machines. And yes, I'm 100% positive that they're still working on it and it will come out one day. (considering that, among many other factors the websites "organge.half-life3.com" and "half-life3.com" are registered http://whois.domaintools.com/half-life3.com)

Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll get new infos, a release date or other at least kinds of footage on the 10th anniversary.

Either way, I'd say at the latest we'll play HL3 in 2016.

I don't care about Half-Life 3, I HATE IT

I think we may need to face up that Valve is not interested in games anymore. They are interested in money. Look at the Skyrim mod fiasco. Valve and Bethesda partnered to intentionally screw over modders giving them a tiny profit in only steam cash. Not even real money.

Look at the money they make for Dota2 with producing very little content. 90% of the work is done by the community. Most of the profit from said items goes directly back to Valve.

The international compendium has already made $8,066,434 for the tournament. That is only 25% what people have paid. Only 25% goes to the teams. 75% goes to Valve. That is $24,199,302 so far. And there is more to come. I think it is safe to say hosting and setting up the Internationals didn't even cost Valve $5million. That basically means they pocket $20million dollars.

And that is a low ball estimate at current International prize pool. They are expected to reach $15,000,000 for the prize pool. That is $45 million for Valve - expenses.

Valve aren't making games they are making money.

They will never make as much money from another Half Life game as they do from Dota2.
