Probably, simply on the basis that whatever hl3 ends up being it will never feed whatever hyped and expectations have been built up until today. But portal 3 would be a more "oh wow, that's cool, will probably be great"
Nathaniel Cox
no
Evan Lopez
And Left 4 Dead 3 would trounce them all
Josiah Sullivan
You know what would be better? If they were the same game
John Lopez
I want to lick her kernel.
Josiah Diaz
ratman portal 3, yes or no? Mechanics involving his schizophrenia and having to find medication (not a time limit thing, more "you need to be lucid to solve a puzzle")
I know it'll never happen, but I got no other ideas
Andrew Sullivan
There will be an Orange Box 2. It will be called Orange Box: Cubed. It will contain TF3, Portal 3, dota 3, L4D3, and Half Life 3.
Levi Carter
Nope

That would be cute.

Portal 2 had a perfect ending, it doesn't hurt like Epistle 3 did.

Half-Life 3 was never promised or announced and should therefore be just as a surprise as a Portal 3.
It's Half-Life 2: Episode Three that was promised and never delivered. Fuck Valve.
Joshua Bell
I disagree, but Portal 2 was probably the most advanced and refined example of the Valve-style first person action game. It was like a culmination of everything they had learned developing HL2 and its expansions. This is the biggest tragedy of Valve's move away from games development; they basically had it down to a science - teaching the player game mechanics through experimentation, environmental storytelling, synthesis between music and gameplay, god-tier sound design and art direction. They had so much talent on payroll, and have basically thrown it all away.
Aiden Barnes
Funny thing is that Portal 2's writer Eric Wolpaw was supposed to be Marc Laidlaw's successor. After Half-Life 2 Episode Three finished up Laidlaw's story arc, Wolpaw would have taken up the reins for Half-Life 3.
Jacob Rodriguez
I remember Gaben specifically saying they won't be working on any sequel (HL, L4D, Portal, TF etc.) until they develop Source Engine 3
If that can be interpreted as "promising" a sequel is up to debate
Oliver Ortiz
Very true.
It's impossible for HL3 to live up to the hype. Gabe insists that it has to reinvent FPS, which is basically impossible.
Whereas Portal 3 could basically be 2 but with new mechanics/content and the majority of people would be happy.
Jeremiah Garcia
In a best case scenario, absolutely not, HL3 would blow everything out of the water.
Realistically though, yes pretty much, there is zero chance of HL3 living up to even a fraction of the hype and anticipation, it is better that it never gets released at all as at this point nothing good can come out of it.
Oliver Wood
Didn't he say the same thing about Source 2, but the only game that ended up being made for that were Dota 2 and Artifact?
Lucas Lewis
I mean he should have; he's a fucking great writer.

Carson Lee
Wasn't CS:GO moved to Source 2?
Michael Green
Portle 2 ended on a nice note. What lose ends do they need to tie?
Cameron Sullivan
>Laidlaw never got to finish his vision for Half-Life 2
>Wolpaw never got to write Half-Life 3
Why
Angel Smith
I'm pretty sure GO is still based on Source 2013.
Ayden Parker
Why did the Combine never break into the Aperture complex when they were looking for the Borealis? It was a publicly known place just like Black Mesa and unlike Black Mesa wasn't a smouldering crater. Common sense would dictate to look for where the borealis came from to find either accurate whereabouts or the schematics to build whatever made the ship teleport.
Landon Sanchez
Do they need to tie anything?
We could just get some prequel or something.
Maybe following the journey of the Rattman somehow
Ayden Diaz
Wolpaw is back at Valve
Aaron Ross
user, the point he's making is that Portal generally does not have loose ends that need tying.
Whereas Half-Life ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DOES
Jaxson Sanders
False. It had a release date. Christmas 2007.
Gabriel Morgan
Only Dota 2 was
Mason Davis
L4D is one of the overrated mediocre garbage series I've ever played
Leo Smith
Face it user, valve as a game developer is dead. The source 2 engine will never live up to the reputation of the original source and valve has yet to prove it can count to three.
Bentley Jackson
Agreed. Some scenarios I like and the characters are cool but god all the guns feel the same.
