Gaben says Valve is developing a full fledged single player game back in 2017
Joseph Ramirez
Ethan Parker
They have people watching in every forum. if I leak any info this thread will be deleted, but trust me, its big
Dylan Miller
Yes but Valve has no actual managers only people working on whatever they want. So if someone is working on a single player game that doesnt mean others are helping him in the project or that someone is asking for deadlines and results.
Elijah Rogers
They're making the new Campo Santo game
Josiah Phillips
Gaben also said hl 3 episode 3 would come out soonish after hl 2 episode 2
Benjamin Flores
Do you even care about Half-Life 3 anymore at t his point? Like what would it need to have for you to be interested in it?
Jackson Wilson
>they will release HLVR when they have their own VR headset, they said
>they wont ship hardware without a flagship AAA title, they said
Austin Kelly
Alyx would need to be the protagonist, silent protagonists are terrible in story driven games where you are constantly interacting with other characters. The story completely revolved around her conflict & Gordon could have been written out of the story entirely & nothing would have changed
Dominic Turner
Its been 12 E3's since Half-Life 2 user, give it up, its never gonna happen
Andrew Roberts
Half Life VR actually made sense. Every Half Life game was meant to show cutting edge tech, but since gaming tech has been stagnant for over 10 years there was no reason to make another. Gabe has said VR needs it's own version of what Mario 64 did for 3D games, so if they were ever going to make another Half Life game it would have been Half Life VR. But they didn't do it.
Joseph Diaz
You're killing me.
Nathan Sanders
It will be a AAA VR game to shill their hardware, don't expect HL 3 though, never ever.
Chase Allen
Gordon was a mute self-insert that worked for some of the most critically acclaimed FPS games of all time
>silent protagonists are terrible in story driven games
Just put in some effort Gabe, you've done it before
Joshua Sullivan
>half-life
>story-driven game where you are constantly interacting with other characters
i really hope you don't actually work at valve
Oliver Evans
They did. It was Artifact
Tyler King
imagine being so fixiated on companies pumping out shitty sequels every year.
Lincoln Roberts
>They have people watching in every forum
They have like 300 employees and THIS is what they spend time and resources on?
All of a sudden them not making games is starting to make sense
>Greg! JUST what the fuck do you think you're doing?!
>S-sorry Gabe, I was jus-
>YOU WERE JUST WHAT?!
>I was just m-making some assets for a new g-g-game
>...
>G-gabe..?
>Get your ass back on Yea Forums right this GODDAMN INSTANT! What if an employee leaks that we're doing things that the fans want? If I have to remind you again, you're getting the belt
>Y-yes sir, of course sir
Jose Nelson
>pumping out shitty sequels every year
>12 years after a game's original release window
I guess I'll take the bait so nobody else has to
Also
>fixiated
Christopher Myers
They cancelled it because their retarded undirected employees decided to give up and work on skins for dota instead of making worthwhile content. Just like the last several projects they started working on.
James Wood
>they have people watching every forum
They don't have enough employees to watch every forum and still work on whatever the fuck they do. Actually... that would make sense since they don't do shit these days.
Ethan Gray
>I suddenly remember artifact exists and was a colosal unbearable failure for the retards at valve
Feels good man
Eli White
>post yfw you literally, sincerely, actually forgot that Artifact existed for a while
Adrian Thompson
>mfw I was reminded through the Twitch thing being discovered
Alexander Jenkins
The only good thing about artifact were the off topic twitch streams that happened a few months ago
Dominic Morales
I think I will never forget that this game exists. It is surprise that people still play it. But after that magnificent reaction people did when Volvo revealed the game on International, after Epistle 3, I can never forget.
Asher Morris
>mods are valve plants
God I wish this was true, sounds funny as fuck
Anthony Carter
Wait right here, i'll be right back
Leo Thompson
Tyler you have to let go man, we wanted HL3 to happen but most of us have accepted its never happening, trying to deluded yourself is not healthy
Justin Myers
Ian Evans
Cooper King
It was Artifact.
Andrew Lopez
>what the fuck are they even working on?
nothing
Bentley Wright
Hey guys Tyler here.
HLVR is being announced next month.
Remember to follow me on twitter and subscribe to my patreon.
Adios.
Aiden Perez
Fuck, I just realized I'm qualified to work at Valve.
Daniel Morales
>What the fuck are they even working on?
Making fake promises to their shareholders.
Liam Ortiz
it's firewatch 2
Brody Sullivan
Well they expanded rapidly high on their own fumes and are panicking after the Artifact disaster
Josiah James
When you are a God, soon can be eons to mere men.
Sebastian Hill
it's a game where the playable character is your steam profile page
cards, badges and your steam level will all be relevant
you know this is possible, after all this is valve. And it's true
Logan Mitchell
Same thing that always happens at Valve. Soon as work gets hard people "Wheel their desks away".
Their "drop in, drop out" approach to making games is so dumb, I cant believe it was ever praised.
Leo Garcia
They said.
This year.
They announced they would have a flagship VR title THIS YEAR.
All internal leaks suggest majority of dev resources flowing into HLVR
Nobody in the games media cared.
HLVR is coming this year
Dominic Turner
>source: dude just trust me
Dominic Sanchez
Cameron Powell
What I don't get is what exactly happened that derailed episode 3 back in the day.
What actually fucking killed Half-Life? We will never know.
Luis Hernandez
Chase Cooper
Christian Mitchell
Expectations too high. Not enough innovation. No need for money.
Wyatt Lewis
That fat fuck says a lot of things.
Bentley Sanchez
Who cares? gabe is just some old fart now, I doubt he even cares about games now
Isaiah Green
Valve has released enough amazing games already, they don't have to release anything anymore just to please you. Stop being entitled.
Jacob Morris
Probably rebooted development and cancelled already
Aaron Moore
Valve's dev cycles were always a complete clusterfuck of delays and issues, more than usually happens in a normal dev cycle, I'm not surprised they decided to go fuck it and focus on steam and other project
Charles Lopez
Valve is so hands off that even if they did start developing a game 2 years ago they easily could have just gotten bored with it and gone back to making skins for counterstrike.
People just do what they want.
Christopher Moore
It's a throwback to old pinball machines, but with a twist: the balls are actually hamburgers, which you get to eat when you lose. Employees have yet to beat the 0 points highscore.
Asher Lopez
Look everybody!
It’s coming THIS YEAR!
Lucas Ortiz
Internal struggles over what direction to take it in. The portal 2 was simply the more alluring project to work on, and then Dota 2 also happened and you can tell they put a ton of effort into that. Episode 3 resumed development after that again but was informally cancelled again.
James Bailey
>making skins for counterstrike
That's fully outsourced to players my friend. All they do is browse the workshop and pick someone they like.
Joshua Bennett
Assuming Tyler McVicker isn't using reddit shitposts as his sources there's apparently two VR flagship games in development.
Colton Sullivan
>it's Stars of Blood
Easton Jenkins
you know Valve hasn't made a singleplayer game since 2011 right, you faggot?
Thomas Morgan
>Food analogy
Dylan Wilson
They don't have shareholders, retard
Nicholas Carter
And that, to the best of our knowledge, produced HL2 episodes, Portal 1 & 2, L4D 1 & 2, Vive & Index. So it deserves the benefit of the doubt at least.
William Clark
Privately owned companies can still have shareholders. I have no idea how Valve's ownership works. Just letting you know that privately owned doesn't mean it isn't partially owned by venture capitalists and bankers.
Liam Ramirez
Why do you call Gabe "it"?
Hudson Young
Nathaniel Richardson
Half Life 2 wasn't that great other than the novelty of the physics stuff
The episodes were just more of the same.
>t. played Half Life when it came out
Mason Wilson
big if true
Oliver Morales
Gabe is such a talented guy, it's a shame he's only interested in making money and not good games.
William Turner
>Expectations too high
Would not have been a problem if they released Half-Life 2: Episode Three sometime in the 2008-2010 window.
The Episodes were only supposed to finish Half-Life 2’s story-arc by salvaging the cut content originally planned for Half-Life 2 proper and making small incremental steps in innovation. If they’d delivered Episode Three within a few years of Episode Two, expectations would have been for it to be a relatively small improvement on Episode Two the way Episode Two had been on Episode One.
It’s only because their failure to deliver Episode Three before 2011 that speculation they were delivering a full HL3 instead of a HL2 episode drove expectations impossibly high.
Jayden Evans
Hearthstone prototype
Joseph Martin
I just want new Portal where i can play as Rattmann
Kayden Watson
Private companies still have shares and shareholders, the shares just aren’t traded on the public market.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to the co-founder Mike Harrington? Did Gabe buy out his shares of Valve, and if so, is Harrington kicking himself over selling to early?
Joshua Howard
fake and GAY
Connor Cruz
Pretty sure Mike quit shortly before half life released
