It's always been dead, guys.

they were never going to make it because it would never live up to the hype.

actually it was never gonna happen cos they wanted to continue the story with a film but it never developed

That's the whole point of Hype.
NOTHING CAN LIVE UP TO HYPE.

People who hype things are retarded.

Well maybe if they haven't focused on those ****** episodes and went on to create HL3 a little sooner then maybe the hype wouldn't have built up this much.

But hey, if I had the choice between making money and making money while making games, I would probably do the opposite of what valve does.

Isn't that what they said about the new Star Wars movie?

Nothing can physically live up to the amount of hype that movie generated, it reached ******* critical mass. That doesn't change the fact that it's a great addition to the saga, trust me, I loved it, but it would have been smarter for Disney to bring it down a couple notches with the advertising and such.

Yeah It's pretty on par with the prequels. Agreed on Disney toning down the aggressive advertising too.

I'd argue that it's past the quality of the prequels, especially in terms of acting and dialogue writing

i dont know about you but obi wan was on point in the prequels... just him.... he was the only good thing aside from the fights.

Acting was probably my favorite part about 7, but some of the dialogue was kind of... silly. Being "tempted by the light"? That isn't even slightly lore-friendly nor true to life.

the hype began when the film was confirmed, when we knew about it being a real thing is when people started to say that. with Half Life, they never said they were going to do another, people just expected them to and that slowly built false hope and hype to the point it has become mythical.

Valve knows that the pressure to release something amazing is too high and too much of a risk to take.

Obviously it's implied that they would, since the H-L 2 E2 ends with a cliffhanger. That implies a third episode.

Valve has officially confirmed a new Half-Life game multiple times since the end of Episode Two. That's probably where most of the hype has come from. I think it's a risk Valve is willing to take, and I'm confident that they'll make Half-Life 3 great.

As best product of valve each part of half-life must be epic as **** . If they would want release it today in form from 2009 it would be another shooter. In 2004 It was epic, because it was first production with shadows/physic in realtime/reflections. It has best graphic. And -thanks advanced physics engine. New level of realism. Next part will be released , when VR technology will be a standard in each house. Or, when they will be able to make photo-realistic graphic.
