The post sounds cool in theory. But who knows what is true or not with news regarding Half Life 3.

A good event to release the game would probably be together with the Vive. The sales for the devices would explode.

From the writing I can tell it's not.

There's a summary of events here. Apparently Valve contacted the subreddit mods and requested they take the original post down...if true, why would they do that unless the info was legit.

There's no proof Valve contacted anyone at Reddit and even if they did they might have done that because it is FAKE.

Hey all. We never were contacted by Valve, and weren't the ones who contacted the mod in /r/HalfLife about any of this. We looked into the situation, and it turns out that the whole thing was a hoax.


And with that /dead.

edit more accurately the message the mod received was fake but the mod didn't know that and truly believed Valve ordered reddit to delete all instances of the leak they can find so he was stressing over deleting all posts he could find Laughing

It would be a bad move from valve and I don't think it would work (depending on the price of the vive)
And I don't want to play HL3 on VR, just on oldschool pc
At least, they could make it steamos exclusive first, to boost steam machines (like gta 5 was for old gen consoles, before releasing it on nextgen and pc)
Anyway, we need to wait again but I do think Mark Laidlaw quit because his work at valve (HL3 writing) was done.

Valve-approved fan-made Half-Life expansion Prospekt dated for February
Quote:
Seabrook has touted Prospekt as being comparable to Half-Life 2: Episode One in length, so somewhere between two and four hours depending on your playstyle. It will feature 13 levels, new music, voice acting, enemy AI, and a return to Xen, the alien planet introduced in Half-Life's final act.

Because if it's not canon, they are so many HL2/ep2 mods you can find so its mere existence is nothing special. Now if it's actually super good, cool; but that remains to be seen.

My theory is... Valve doesn't want to make HL3 because they are simply afraid of a failure! Probably they are fully aware that something like HL1 can't be done anymore. Nobody wants some average, brainless, random shooter. After all, look what happened to Duke Nukem Forever. Well, Valve owns Steam, they don't have to make games for living anymore. Sad

It has been explained by Laidlaw (who just left the company) that that is not the case.

As for "they don't have to make games part", you don't see Gabe firing the game development teams so that is bull as well. Unless he enjoys paying 100+ people to come to work and tell jokes or something.. but I think he wouldn't be a BILLIONaire if he was *this* incompetent with money.

HL2 EP2 was released 8 years ago. Then, dafuq are those 100+ guys in the development team doing in the meantime ? Working on that crappy Portal series ? Confused

Working on many games, yes. BioShock Infinite had a development team of 200 people for 4 years. Valve are 330 people and probably half of them are on Steam / VR / OS / HW.

Now divide the remain 100+ that are game developers to teams on L4D3, HL3, Dota 2, CS:GO and a lesser extent to TF2, L4D2, etc.

In a couple of months it will be 2 years since Minh Le saw the L4D3 beta and said "it looks great." http://www.gamespot.com/articles/left-4-dead-3-in-development-and-looks-great-counter-strike-co-creator-says/1100-6419832/

And the game hasn't even been announced yet..

Then I'll make a simple conclusion...why not employ more programmers and make things faster ? There are plenty talented, skilled programmers out there. Simply, let's cut the chase Gabe! .... We want HL3 in this century, for Pete's sake ! I already have 48 years ! Wink

Because he has chosen to run Valve with no project managers he can't go on a hiring spree. If someone slacks he may be discovered no sooner than months or years down the line. That is by hiring one person. Hiring 50 people? He's not doing that.

So they are growing very slowly.

This is like saying "I sort of believe one day within the next 5 years an AI as smart as the human brain will be created." That's impossible because it's not something that can be figured out in a night.. or a 100.

No one knows how to make a AAA VR title say.. on the scale of a Batman Arkham game or whatever. Not Valve, not Sony. It will take years upon years of experiments. (Obviously not as many as creating a real AI Razz )

The goal of VR is not "I move my head and the camera moves" Bob.

When you properly incorporate all your shooting, moving, looking, UI, inventories, controls, sound, blablabla in it then we can talk about AAA games. Until then you'll get walking simulators.
