It’s a really insightful article about the game,all the trouble the guys that were making it went through and much more.In my opinion,it also puts a whole new perspective on the absence of any Half - Life 3 related news as well.
Now,bear in mind that it’s a very long read(25 pages)but BELIEVE ME …it’s well worth your time.
I read it over a year ago or so, it truly is insightful. In fact, I felt bad about Valve devs once I was done reading. Developing a game for such a long time takes a toll on both mental and physical health, it indeed may explain why there’s no HL3. If I were them, I wouldn’t want to touch such a long-term project anytime soon.
tl;dr
^Pretty much this.
This is a really good article.
Ah, this was back before Keighley became a major sellout. Good read. I always enjoy reading long articles like this because they usually never leave any details out.
I read the captions, the excerpts, and parts of the actual 25 page thing. I think I get the idea though. Pretty interesting stuff there.
so what do they say ?
i recently read that no team is working on hl3 .
hl was made by g.newell and Mike Harrington , by now mike has gone elsewhere and gabe is a billionnaire…that does not help to create a second great game [to be not starving to death either ;’] .
avatar , is a great movie and we ll have 3 more movies soon , Cameron does so much things with computers for them ,that may be we gone have great new games based on avatar and the best engine of the market : unreal .
at least if they have the idea to team , they should create something very big
The HL1 Dev team was pretty big, not just two guys.
team was not so big and game industrie was a little thing , by now the game-studios have teams all around the world , it is easy to spot when you look at jobs they offer like with crytek : https://www.crytek.com/career/offers/overview
these enterprises have to make a lot of money every day to cover all costs…the things they produce are not so good at end .
i mean they looks like disney . at the time of walt-disney , they were making few cartoons or films per year .
now disney uses cameras and young and sexy teens [that are already having some ‘bitch’ style…] to produce a lot of soaps for little investments . while they should have been better than “DreamWorks SKG” [disney property] that makes a lot of movies with computers like Shrek if they had keep the original spirit and not fall in the dark-side [another serial that disney has bought…with easy-money]

This is called mainstream :U.
And Valve actually had a fair decent amount of DEVELOPERS at the time.Most of the other stuff you see on credits mostly exist of people who were not even actually involved with the development.
