This is like writing the first sentence of your book report the first night it was assigned and viewing that as a work in progress.

Yes, Half-Life 3 will be exclusive to me.
Man, Helvetica Neue Thin is the best.
People said the same thing for Shenmnue III.

Nice title change
Have you got the link to this interview couldn't find it. The death stare always makes me laugh.

People will never let it go. If they had put out Episode 3 I think people would be a lot better with it. But, it is pretty shitty that they promised 3 episodes and then never finished the story and delivered a product.
That's what makes this all interesting to me. I just want to know what has gone on behind the scenes with Episode 3/HL3. How many attempts have been made and scrapped? Just one? A dozen? They had a product they showed screens of and talked about for years that just up and vanished. And while companies like Activision and Ubi crank out annual sequels, Valve seems very content with just letting their (once?) massive franchise stay dead and buried. It's a crazy thing I want to know more about.

Hats are so passé. Valve's new hotness is simply not making videogames at all.

Don't mess with my heart like this! 
That's what they said about Duke Nukem Forever.

10/10 title change
Before it releases some devs / pubs are able to call any app anything they want. Just from today's leak there are a number of names of test apps and experiments developers have used and already come forward about.
Also more to the point, it's Half-Life, not Half Life, which already calls it into question
I almost forgot what this thread was about until the gif was done.

Why? If it's a great game then I won't consider it a disappointment.

The one game that will never meet fans expectations.
I guess Valve took that as a reason to cancel the project: "It's never gonna work out after so many years, just look at DNF"

Was anyone under the illusion it would be an NX exclusive?

We are getting Danganronpa 1&2 and Final Fantasy X/X-2 and this is what you are more concerned with?

Gaf doubting Half Life 3 in the year of dreams?
And Friends will work about 3 years later.

We got TLG, FF7R, and Shenmue III announced this year (all on the same day no less). We'll hear about HL3 by 2020, I guarantee it.

I wouldn't be that pessimistic. I think it'll get made at some point. I'm just not going to pay any attention until then though, it's not worth trying to uncover and decipher things.
It'll be here when it's ready. Whatever.

Even if it's just a dream, it makes me happy that people still want it so badly.

like i said before half life 3 won't be made unless Valve comes up with some type of revolutionary gameplay mechanic or technology for the game.... for them Half Life 3 can't just be another critically acclaimed game, it has to be groundbreaking like HL 1 and HL 2 were..
which is why i think most of the people at Valve won't do it unless they find that out
