Half life 3 has been confirmed many times and no it won't be episode 3!
It will be a new brand game.

hlf1: start as something normal. you start in black mesa and end up in a parallel dimension, g-man appears and it's an ass
hlf2: start as Orwell's 1984, in a eastern city, kind of a communist city ruled by assholes, you gotta help the resistence and so on, g-man is an ass two times
hlf3: what will we have? besides g-man: three times an ass, nothing it is confirmed
g-man is the man lol

I can't wait

Valve are welcome to take as long as they want on Episode 3, as far as I see it. Why the sense of entitlement over someone else's art? Valve may take a long time to get anywhere but they're one of the few devs still cranking out games of a consistently high quality.

Remember when Perfect Dark got delayed time and time again and then eventually came out and blew everyone away? Those sorta delays used to seem so... Common?

I really don't care about a long wait, because I can remember the pant-shit-inducing effect the video of the striders in City-17 and the CS:S previews had on me. There aren't too many still cranking out good games are there...?

Productivity and ability, thy name is Bioware. If they can do it, so can Valve

 

[ratsapprentice]

Bioware employs 800 people and is owned by EA
Valve is indie, and employs about 250

COD: Black OPS. Buggy as hell...

After reading that the game buffers latency for people with good connection which means that the better connection you got the more in-game latency the game is adding. Which makes your opponents to see you a second before you do, kind of made me lose interest in the game.

 

[GarethSE]

As far as RPG's go, sure. But they're still getting caught up in the idea of moral choice "systems" which is such a fundamentally flawed idea.
What makes moral choices such an interesting dillema is that they're relative. As soon as you associate a gameplay mechanic with these moral choices, they become completely and totally moot.

Tell me, what was so BAD about punching that news reporter in the face in Mass Effect 1? There are arguments you can make for both sides of the morality and all the points in between, but it gave you Renegade points.
I have a problem with this.

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

That's what I love about the gon/gade division though; renegade isn't always necessarily morally reprehensible, with most actions I think of it more as "badass"

Hmm, fair enough, I didn't realize Valve was indie (pretty impressive they've been able to stay that way, I get the impression there aren't many left), or that Bioware employed 800, holy fuck

FTR, I've been playing Cod Blops D) regularly online on my 360, and have experienced no bugs or unreasonable/unfair latency (and my connection is nothing special) - I feel like most of the complaints I've heard about it have been from PC users, maybe the devs just didn't prioritize as much on them since by far the majority of CoD games since MW have been sold on the 360

Classic game.

Calling them indie... it's a joke they're so big
They still need distribution from othere games companies to get their games out there, besides steam which is Digital delivery.

 

[ratsapprentice]

They aren't owned by anyone, therefore they are independent.
Also 250 employees, a big company does not make.

 

[Notuern]

They aren't owned by anyone, therefore they are indipendent.

ID-Software only have 170 employees, and they are only releasing Rage this year..

Guess by the definition Valve is "indie", but calling them a small company is kinda ridiculous considering they sold over 38.700.000 hardcopies of their games.
Steam sales not counted, and they're probably like 10.000.000 minimum (Valve games only).

What's this discussion all about anyway?
Both companys made almost exclusively great games, imho, and I love them both. End of story

Well I wasn't complaining they're not indie.
I was just saying that an indie should be a team of 10/20 people max.
Valve is a biiiiiiiiiiiiig independent company

It's a lot since IdSoftware released something they really made and not given to a third party company to be developed.
I can't wait for rage, the ipad and iphone app is cool

Blizzard is ridiculously guilty of this too, but every single game they've released has been awesome (even WoW, whether you like it or not, there's a reason it's so damn popular). Long live endless delays!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Originally I pointed out their size in relation to their output.
It's irrelevant how many copies they sell, or how much money they make.
They are still a small company, considering that they run steam aswell as produce games.

I didn't want to open a new thread
check this Epic's producer: Tanya Jessen
seems like she's out off a new porn movies, you know the ones that today sell a lot: milf hunter, mommy got boobs and other shit lol
