Interesting if true. I don't put much credence in such rumors, however.

I hope it's true. I'm more inclined to believe that DA3 will be announced/teased over Half-Life 3.

I'm getting inclined to believe Dragon Age 10 will be announced before Half-Life 3.

I draw this comic-like thing sometimes.

It hasn't been that long. Five years, yeah? That's not terrible. Especially given that they've been making other stuff. It'll happen sooner or later.

Anything about Half-Life 3 is obviously fake as they're developing Episode 3, which isn't Half-Life 3. There seems to be a pattern to the numbered entries.

I feel bad for Half Life fans. They've been anticipating Episode 3 trailers being shown at every games event for the past five years, and every time they have been disappointed.

Apparently the way things work at Valve is whenever you want to work on a project, you just work on it. Like there's a section for every major title and you just move your desk over there. That's why L 4 D 2 came out so quickly, everyone wanted to finish it. Now i don't think anyone wants to make Episode 3.

So, Valve really can't count to three can they?

Maybe Sonic Adventure 3 as well?

Ahem...*points up* Guys, this was debunked before this thread was posted, you had to pass that post to get to the reply button, so why are there still people posting as if they think it's still a valid rumor?

Valve has said that they regret trying the episode format. I wouldn't be surprised if they skip straight to Half-Life 3.

Yes, I'm sure Half-Life 3 is coming, right after Duke Nu- wait, I can't use that one anymore, can I?

Last Guardian? Pshaw. Final Fantasy Versus 13 has it beat.

I like to think they take turns on having this honor.

Come on guys. Last Guardian wasn't announced that long ago, and Final Fantasy XIII can't be any for than two years old at this point.

I think people kinda forget why HL3 doesn't seem to come up much with Valve. Like, Valve is busy with the following:

  • A new Counter Strike game and a new Dota game.
  • The recently-announced Mann Vs. Machine mode for Team Fortress 2.
  • The also-recently-announced Game Hub feature for Steam.

It was announced in 2009, but in the 3 years or so we've known about it almost nothing has surfaced. Not to mention all signs are pointing to the project being dead, but Sony still insists that nothing is wrong. Seems a lot like DNF to me. Sony is basically dragging TLG's corpse around on a leash.
