Lots of good info in there, some of it he’s spoken of before, some he hasn’t.

They arent even working on Half Life after Portal 2…

We didn’t even know that they worked on Portal 2 since 2007. And it was announced 2010. Just because they don’t give any information, doesn’t mean that they aren’t working on it. And Doug Lombardi said that they aren’t done with Freeman yet.

thank you !

They have a small team working on it. In VALVe, you get to choose your own projects, and EP3 is the least favorite. (That’s how L4D2 got released so quick, other VALVe developers liked L4D1, and then all wanted to be involved with the creation of L4D2.)

Their next priority is DOTA2, then presumably EP3. That was in the interview.

Honestly I doubt that its the least favorite. Valves just a bunch of perfectionists and I like and hate that about them.

So what if they’re not working on EP3? It’d be nice if they were, but it’s not like they owe us anything.

I don’t think anybody’s saying they owe us EP3, it’s just that we all hoped that it had been out by now is all.

True but I also don’t owe them my money.

yes, better save your cash for those tried and tested formula shooters that come out RIGHT ON SCHEDULE every year. no delays. no nonsense.

nevermind that they are boring as f… though.

I’m a busy man…can someone clearly and concisely tell me what he had to say about Ep3/Half Life…if at all?

That was really interesting. I think that’s cool that he’s willing to do a video interview with a high school. A lot of awkward moments though…

I wonder what he thinks of Super Mario Galaxy 2. I was disappointed by the original, but SMG 2 is a hell of a lot better.

He didn’t say a word about it. And nobody of the students even asked about it. It’s quite sad, actually.

Why? He wouldn’t answer anything anyway.

The sad thing about this is, that none of the students even tried to ask about anything HL related. It looked like they don’t even care about the HL series anymore. But that’s just my crazy opinion. :3

That is gonna be the worst scenario :[

Essentially, they don’t. The new hip kid crowd has moved on to being L4D and Portal fans. HL has been left in the dust.

I guess their heads are just full of CoD shit.

I got the strangest feeling of deja vu when I watched that video, felt like I saw it a few months back, but since it just got posted I must be mistaken.

He mentioned “gaming as a service” before, but that was all.
