Since Valve has tried to separate both franchises despite them being in the same universe there has to be some importance to them being connected in the first place. If valve knew that portal 2 would try and stay as far from half life as possible then they could have said the Borealias came...

Without sounding too arrogant or uninformed, it’s interesting to me how the COD franchise has changed the attention and focus of FPS games. As a fan of FPS like the half life series, Bioshock 1, halo (immersive and story driven), counter strike source, team fortress….its interesting that most...

Of course half life 2 has intellectual elements!! In fact compared to a lot of other FPSs I think the Half Life series and the Bioshock games have a lot to comment on. Just within Half Life 2 the argument of scientific and technological progress comes up with Breen and Eli at the end of HL2...

So I know all the reasons why it is unlikely for Ep3 info to be released but its kinda interesting how they updated Portal and then shortly after said hey Portal 2. Now they have updated all the "recent" HL games...which if memory serves me right is the first time in years and now this...

Do you have to have steam running or be connected to the internet to play half life games? My computer has internet problems so I cant stay connected for a long time...so I dont know if I can get the updates downloaded or even get the game running. How long do you guys think it will take...

Just based on the few threads I have checked recently, people here tend to get rude and say aggressive stuff quickly, sorry admins but some of you are included.:cheese: People just need to relax and stop being rude in their posts. I am a member of a final fantasy forum and yeah there are...

wow!! More talk on the half life series! I think the end of the ban on talking about Episode 3 means that we are getting closer to a trailer or maybe release date. I just don't see Valve saying anything at E3 because recently they only seem to focus on coverage of one game at a time...

Maybe thats why Valve was at GDC this year to find new fresh minds to help with the half life games. But thats kinda the thing besides Episode 3 and Portal 2 what else is the entire valve team working on right now? Maybe CS2 but even that shouldn't take much time. A different new game...

lol yeah mos def!! I use the same name and password in multiple forms to avoid confusion and you would not believe how many comments I get about the name. Great show though!! It would be kinda cool to see what Bill thinks of the Half Life games!!! :-)

Apologies on the spelling of my previous post. Studying late and then typing a comment while dead tired can lead to some mistakes. :upstare: Any who I am glad that Valve is finally talking about half life. I just don't see any news of Episode 3/Half Life 3 coming out this or even next...

Two things. First I think this shows why valve is taking so long with the game. It isnt the story thats the problem...its how to make the levels (specifically in the Artic) interesting enough and challenging enough. Were I in their position I feel there would be less challenges in designing...

so I beat the game again after the update and I noticed GlaDos said after you beat her that she is the only thing standing between "you and them" any ideas what that means? Is that the same thing she said before the update?

Well since Valve will be busy Late 2010-Early 2011 with the release of Portal 2...I am wondering what they will do with Episode 3 when it comes out. For such a hyped up game just releasing the episode itself, like they did with Ep 1, might not be as attractive. I am guessing they might add CS...

I am starting to feel like we wont get ANY episode 3 news until after Portal 2 is released....maybe we will get the first bits of news in an episode 2 update early 2011. However what i think was interesting how they said they STARTED some of their recent collaborating with the community with...

wow the IGF awards show is pretty lame and awkward... I really don't think there will be any major announcement coming out from this speech.
