Not the “Gordon adopted Chell” stuff again…
Maybe I got it mixed, but I could have sworn Valve stated that either HL character may appear in Portal or in reverse some time ago.
I heard rumors they were brother and sister, that’s just too much.
That said, I actually am rather fond of the theory that Chell is Cave and Caroline’s daughter.
Yeah, and she doesn’t remember her parents.
Why? Because she hasn’t talked about them? By that nobody remembers their parents in the Half-Life games, or the vast majority of games.
As to Chell being Cave and Carolines daughter, isn’t Chell hispanic? IMO it’s a retarded theory brought about because of the geek cultures obsessive need for everything to be linked. Can’t she just be, you know, a random test subject as is shown throughout the game?
What about Adrian Shephard making an appearance? Gabe always said it was possible in the future.
Portal gives hints of chell being an adopted-abandoned daughter, Glados mentions it on the games. She is not just so random she was selected by Rattman due of her never give up way of solving things.
Well, I don’t want him to be in HL3, although if he returns after that, I’ll be fine with it. If he does come back, he should be a Combine Soldier who the G-Man is giving to the Combine as an assassin for Freeman. They don’t know Gman is assisting the resistance, and he gave Shephard to them because they’re willing to “pay” for him. G-man knows that Shephard isn’t capable enough to kill Gordon, but he’s willing to play them against each other if he get’s his “pay”.
That would actually be pretty awesome, having a Freeman vs. Shephard thing going on. And speaking about G-Man I think it’s about time we know who the hell this guy is.
it was the total opposite
they wanted to have HL and portal in the same world because it was mutually beneficial to both games in terms of backstory but early in the start of the Portal 2 ARG valve said that they want the two timelines as distant as possible so they set portal 2 hundreds of years after the events of HL2
Now I’m not saying HL3 won’t have GLaDOS or that Portal 3 won’t have combine, I know nothing of Valve’s future plans, only the past.
And this whole man-hunt rivalry thing can be executed in a few different ways. Shephard can be completely willing to kill Freeman as revenge for killing his fellow soldiers in Op4, or he can be more level-headed about it, thinking that if he lets the guy live, the Combine will be defeated, a greater-good kind of deal. Or they both may not want to fight each-other, but just feel they have to. It all depends on whether or not Shephard will be a player-character or an outside character. Hell, it would be cool if the game that would have Shephard in it (if it ever comes to exist) is like how the Dreamcast Half-Life is, choosing between Gordon’s story, or Shephard’s story.
This is all just idea-spewing, and I’m sure there are flaws with the whole concept, but whatever.
Either that, or Shep would be Player 2 in a co-op game.
That’s actually a really interesting idea.
Shepard could be more about guns and just shooting, whereas Gordon is more about puzzle-solving and the gravity gun.
oh man, I’m starting to expect way too much out of hl3 that i might just get dissapointed, gotta start lowering my expectations.
Don’t
Believe in Lord Gaben
Oh I do, valve ceases to disspoint me, when I heard the news that they were gonna make the sequel to my favorite multiplayer game (Dota) it was one of the happiest days of my life.
Breaking news: HL3 confirmed by Gabe Newell in a horse mask.

Maybe he should stop horsing around and get working.
EDIT: Now that I look at it, it looked more like a 2.5
He lifted his finger half-way.
Half-Life 3 is half finished.
Naw, it was probably a reference to Valve being unable to count to three. Very self-deprecating.
Don’t worry, HL3 will never come out.
