What happened to HL:EP3?

[GTaudiophile]

I mean, EP2 came out what, 2-3 years ago?

Isn't it about time to find out what happens to Gordon Freeman & Co.?

 

[Inspector Jihad]

It was okay with EP3 - but when Gordon died mid-way to have Alex take his place was a bit much...

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Don't worry In a few years they will release Half Life 2: Episode 3: Chapter 1.

HL2 EP3 was shelved to make time for all the Team Fortress2/Left2Dead crap.

I never even finished HL2 EP2... just got bored of it like 15 minutes in and stopped caring.

Gabe ate it.... true story

The Hot Coffee minigame with Alyx was fun, though you have to remember to play it before Gordon dies.

I only managed the silver achievement, the timing on that last position is tricky

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Guys, let him know its an Xbox 360 exclusive next time. Kk?

 

[Maximilian]

I thought it was cool how they crossed it over with left 4 dead and had the left 4 dead characters ride in on antlions to save gordon and alyx from zombies. :thumbsup:

Valve realized awhile ago it was pointless to give dates, even estimates, because they will always be late. Instead they've chosen to release little to no information until the game is nearing completion. (And after this long, it better be fucking good too)

 

[shortylickens]

Does it really matter?
Most of you guys are hating on the Source engine anyway. Do you really want another game running on it?

At this point a new engine is no longer out of the question, which could explain the delay.

That's what they want you to think, but fear not in a few years they might announce how many more years after that it'll be till release.

lulz

you just set the game back another year

 

[heat901]

I also heard it will get released when they release duke nukem forever.

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Yeah, it's pretty f-ed up how long it's been. Maybe they're planning on releasing it as another bundle or something (The Red Box?) and need to finish the other games as well (like Portal 2).

If not, then it had better be one epic conclusion.

 

[adlep]

I think they have just forgot about it...

 

[Modular]

I'd have to play all the games over again to even remember what the hell was going on. At this point I honestly don't care, but would play it if they ever did release it.

It's safe to say Valve killed that franchise. They were on a roll, but

After seeing how popular Steam has become they were probably like "fuck it, we don't need HL to make money anymore".
