There's also the fact that development on Source 2 has seemingly stagnated. Half-Life was considered high tech for its day, but Valve's engine is seriously showing age.

confirmed
trying to use this ancient ******* relic of a map editor is ******* annoying

Didn't Lord Gaben himself say that for every meme about Half Life 3 he found on the internet he would delay it further?

I agree, but I would do it like this.
18 years
18/2=9
the square root of 9 is 3
Half Life 3 confirmed

But Where did the 6 come from? And why halve 18?
HL3/10

Gotta show your math, mate. One could also ask why he didn't use 2, since 18/9 = 2.

Fair enough, but he never mentioned using the "half" from Half life, or using the 6 from dividing 18 by 3.
The best part of this joke, usually, is when they bring up tons of evidence to support ******** , much like conspiracy theorists.

This is why people don't invite you to parties even before you try to lie to yourself and say "I'd rather not go"

Hey, say what you will. I'm just pointing out a poorly done joke. By all means, reply for more greenies.

I know it's a well known joke, did you not read? He just did it poorly.

I know the joke, child. But it was poorly constructed. He didn't show where he got all of the numbers from. Could have been done better. I'll take the red thumbs, though, if it makes people feel better about it.

I did, but you can't see it in my comment.

It's a meme,you dip

>>#157

Half of 18 is 9, and the square root of 9 is 3. Could have had it so much cooler.

But hold on there
The square root of 18 is 4.242
There's one period, telling us there would be at least one game
There are two 4's and 2 2's, confirming there would be a second game AND two sequels to that one game
Halfway between 4 and 2 is... THREE! That completes the series.

Illuminati confirmed

half of 18 is 9, and 9 to a half power is 3. Could have done it even cooler

18/ 3 = 6. HL3 confirmed for release in 6 years

YOU HAVE THE EXACT SAME FONT COLOR AS ME!

BROTHER?!

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

thats not a reason to not make a game lol, profit is what drives companies

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.

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

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.

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.

"theu can't accept my opinion" fixed it for you, oh and, shut the **** up anon, if you have something to say, log the **** in.

Considering how long it's been, the story was probably already written out.

Well, couldn't the writer have already written the story, and now they're just waiting to develop the game? My personal theory is that Gabe wants to wait until VR/Oculus becomes widespread enough to release HL3 as a VR game.

Please be right

That could be a possibility, since they need a system seller title for the HTC Vive but from the demo they released it looks like its just going to be another portal game.

weenie

It died off years ago, dud

Gabe hates that meme more than anyone.

how do you know that, do you work for Nintendo?

everyone knew it was never going to live up

but I guess DNF and more recently star wars has made people think that something could come

Except Duke Nukem Fornever was announced and had release dates and was delayed several times. We have literally not heard a thing about Half-Life 3 in years.

and all for the better, in the end, no matter what, it would suffer nukem syndrome,
