So… The new Counter Strike is coming out 2012. That means that Half-Life 3 is delayed even further. F*ck.
How can it be delayed if it doesn’t even have a release date?
Because Vampire is a retard.
Yes because it’s impossible to work on both
Maybe it’d get released sooner if Gabe Newell would invest less time playing DOTA2 (1000+ hours) and invest more time getting HL3 done.
indeed
What everyone else said. You do realise there’s more than a handful of developers working for Valve?
Because Gabe Newell is the only dev working on HL3 hell at this point I bet all he does for it is creative consult. He is their figurehead now, although I’m sure he is still actively involved in development in all projects to some degree.
Gabe hasn’t worked on any of the games directly since early in HL2’s development.
It is good to see a reasonable people in this thread, +1
Unrelated, but I’ve been kicking around the idea that the BMS project isn’t just being watched by the people that want to play it. This is a blue-sky, ‘endless badassery would ensue’ scenario…but…
What if Valve and BMS are already collaborating? Look at portal, that started it’s life in an off-engine school project; Valve seized that property and developed a game that was more polished with better story direction than the predecessor. Perhaps it’s Valve’s turn to be proactive in seeking out indie devs that can already ‘fight with tools’, so to speak.
That isn’t to say that BMS devs aren’t talented or capable, it’s to suggest that maybe some of the workload could be shared or stored onto…oh, I don’t know a secure server farm in an Oregon church basement. Point of fact, the reason I suspect Valve’s involvement is because the available media looks so good it’s easy to confuse it with a blue chip devs’ handiwork. And, though I probably am wrong, this beats the pants off another plot speculation thread. As for Portal 2’s timeline, it’s really irrelevant; the people that storyboard these games can change anything they want with plot devices and specific narratives (See “Thank you for Smoking”, Rob Lowe’s rhetoric about open flames in an all-oxygen environment) that will craft the story to it’s desired tone and cadence. A secret-squirrel project with Valve and a few tacitly placed non-disclosure agreements and you’ve got the formula for some dirty sexy conspiracy theories. Booyakasha.
It seems every time a big gaming event happens wild HL3 speculation seems to be swirling around. Im not believing it till i see it…besides that I’d really like to hear about some new HL
2012!? But that’s a whole three weeks away! I’d better go kill myself.
Dear Vampire,
I thought you left for good.
Please do.
Yes^
This did not need its own thread and Sigma, you should only post related material :hmph:
How many “you’re a retard” responses do we really need?
That being said… Vampire, you’re a 'tard, dude.
sigh Nothing to do here…
They’re not.
Is this thread gonna fucking close or what?
