Is Laidlaw still updating that crazy Breen Twitter account?
And 2 things I am intersted in more then actually playing the game
Will we get a honest "making of" similar to what we got after HL2?
What will HL3 even be to be something Valve would want to release. I assume they are beyond the whole 8 hour story thing. Rumours of it being some kind of open world RPG sound interesting and I can also see it taking on some always conencted Destiny / Demons Souls stuff as well but who knows.

No updates since July. And that bit sounded like the end.
Dunno, but we should. Hopefully Keighley will be on it.

I wonder how much Valve regrets ending Episode 2 on a cliffhanger.
Isn't it great that a gaming company is completely independent of publishers? Stockholders maybe, but nobody is pushing them to show anything.
Even if talent has left, they have the money and the time to invest in new hired talent. I expect everybody at Valve loves working for games, and from the few tidbits I've read from Gabe's management I expect that love will eventually find it's way into new IP's. And existing ones.

Yeah, last I read he was doing VR stuff.
And how do we know SoB was supposed to be SP?
we have to believe
yeah but I got a chance to link Ep4 so it's all good
it's not an FPS, so that's not possible
Haha, fair enough.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
It's sad watching so many people who actually love half life and Valve say the franchise is dead and that they don't care and Valve doesn't care, etc...
Just accept you're sad, guys. ;~;
Let's hug.

In my opinion it's been too long to just release HL3. There is an entire generation of gamers that have never played any games in the series.
I've played them and I'm getting fuzzy on the details since it's been so long. Valve needs to reboot the series entirely and start over with a new engine and the drive to release games at a timely manner until the conclusion of the story.
I hope that's close to what's going on at valve.

I loved following Marc on twitter, and his account that was basically Breen's thoughts (I forgot the name). Why did he left?

Holy crap you're getting worked up over nothing. The game/series has been on sale plenty of times, not having a sale on the 10th anniversary is hardly some kind of diss to the fans. The games will probably be on sale in the black friday holiday deals in like 10 days and then the holiday sales later

He was spending too much time on it.
Stop focusing on the sale. This is not about the sale (just like how this also isn't about HL3 or them "not making games anymore"). I know a lot of people have it and it's been discounted multiple. But putting it up for one would have at least been a small recognition, an acknowledgement. But they didn't even pretend.
This isn't some random janitor over there and he had no idea?! There's no way they didn't know how much this meant to the fans. They're either out of touch with their fandom or simply don't care.
And not big on blowing their own horns? That's rich.
That is PERFECT.
