Anticipation levels?

[Escape the Nest]

I'm really looking forward to it I am personally, I've not been as engrossed by the Half-Life franchise of games ever. More than now, I'm just eager to know what happens next...

 

[Sparta]

I look forward to it but im not really hyped for it. I just know its gonna be another year or so before it comes out and at least 6-9 months before they show us anything, so there's no point in getting hyped for it. It'll be great when it comes out, i'm sure of that. But i'm busy living my life so im not really hyped.

 

[chimpmunk]

I'm not hyped about EP3 at all because I know i'll play it for like 5 hours and be done with it...
And i'm so obsessed about spore right now anyways,

 

[lefty]

Personally, I think Valve do non-HL2 things better.

 

[Earthdeath]

i want it to come out, but im not really bothered.

 

[eyefork]

I'm pretty excited mainly because I want to know whats up after ep2, but it'll probably be a while before anything about ep3 surfaces so I'm trying to keep it off of my mind until then

 

[Hobopro]

I cant wait for it! Even though its months or perhaps even a year until we get a release.

 

[FISHY CRACKERS]

I cant wait for it! Even though its months or perhaps even a year until we get a release.

Or even a trailer if we're lucky

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

I would far prefer that valve focus on perfecting the game rather than realising trailers. Yes it wouldn't hurt, but I want the game as quick as possible, not a few shots of the game in a movie.

I am anticipating it, but not to the levels I was when we were nearing episode two release date. Nevertheless, I think it may well be the most revealing/kickass HL game so far.

 

[freakyflor]

As soon as I see some screenshots or a trailer I will be anticipating it.

 

[ApoJapo]

I think it may well be the most revealing/kickass HL game so far.

Gabe said they will stop with making HL-games when they cant make it better than its predecessor (this was also the reason why they chosen for episodic releases). So any new release must be better. Though ep1 wasn't that much of an improvement almost everyone agreed ep2 was the best hl part so far. If they can make ep3 even better than 2 it would be really awesome. I have a feeling they also want to make it a little bit longer and they told me by mail it will (probably) finally get an extra hard mode

 

[Xevrex]

I'm sure once they're done with Left 4 Dead and Portal 2 they'll begin development and release media within a few months, if they haven't started development already.

 

[The Mild Gatsby]

I didn't get excited until I saw the "Into the Pixel" concept art.

Looking forward to seeing the final product.

That would be really badass. Can you post this email on here pl0x?

 

[Shift]

HL2 was at the peak of awsome though, EP2 was definately the best episode but HL2 will always be the king. What Im getting at is, if they did a HL3, in episodes or whatever, then as long as the make it the same sort of scale as it predecessors then Valve shouldnt have to worry about its quality and shouldnt have to worry about making it better.

 

[Xevrex]

I have high anticipation for this ep, as it's the first HL game i've known about before it's release (I know, shame on me, I started playing the HL series with the Orange Box).

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I actually played Portal first... there were things I didn't understand that I do now

 

[mrman234]

I only got into HL2 when The Orange Box came out, so your poll options are very unintuitive.

As it happens, I don't really care about Ep3. I'm more excited by Left 4 Dead, but I'm sure that will change the second Valve throw us a trailer.
