Now we all need just some screenshots. To show the power of Source 2 engine, that last left 4 dead photo is over 4 years old.

My Steam wallet is waiting.

I'd rather see a Portal 3 over HL3 or L4D3 to be honest. Valve, make it happen!

November 2014 would be the 10 year anniversary of HL2.

Which I realise as I type this means nothing at all.

I remember sitting in an IRC channel with 10k+ people in it counting down the launch... how does 10 years go by this quickly?

I bunked off a week of Uni when HL2 was released, god knows what I'll do when HL3 is finally released...

Skip communal morning tea and biscuits at our retirement homes..

I was there with you Spektor exciting times indeed.

No more consolized Left 4 Dead they already dumbed down the first one.

You realise the first one was on console...

As much as I love HL2 and cant wait for HL3, I will be much happier to see new versions of CS, L4D, Portal, TF.

The later will only be possible though after HL3 because they will no doubt all be run off the new engine.

Possibly the most evasive and non-confirming "confirmation" I've ever heard...

"He specifies concept art and images that 'could be in the Half-Life universe'"

Misleading thread/article title is misleading!

Ugh...

But CSGO is only about 2 years old if that?

I didnt love HL2, HL1 will always be number 1

Yep, it was HL1 that reinvented the shooter genre which lead to brilliant games such as Counter Strike, Crysis, CoD, BF etc. HL2 just repeated most of the concepts of the previous game and added a few gimmicks to give itself a "fresh" feel.

Valve didn't release a third game because they knew marginal improvements would dissapoint and they lacked ideas needed to take the franchise a step forward.

I think Half Life 2 was pretty revolutionary. The physics were excellent and Alyx was a huge step in female characters in games as well as being one of the best examples of how to do an NPC that accompanies the player. The level design was interesting and varied as well.

 

[Squink]

Given that a business exists to make money and it's generally accepted that more money is better than less money, I have no idea why they don't create HL3. this is the company that created HL1 and HL2, so why would anyone worry that they might not have another one in them?

 

[PixelChef]

Personally I hope they forget about L4D and Portal and concentrate on Half Life again. How can they forget about Half Life just to create two new mediocre franchises?

As long as it pleases the masses I guess... Valve used to be legendary but they went down hill since L4D, they've gone mainstream.

Perhaps they're waiting for virtual reality for HL3.
