It is fair to say that the hype about Half-Life has three past ridiculous moves, jumped on a long-haul flight to the "other world," looked over his shoulder to ridicule as a tiny speck in the distance - then a. This is one of the biggest jokes of operation of the Internet, and it is on the way too far.
But here we are, still mulling over the possibility that one day we will always return the valve to its franchise like a journey, despite the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 was all the way back in 2007, we published very little heard of the franchise.
It is impressive that Valve has so elegantly Contact the border between confirmation and rejection by many interviews and years to be informed of the possibility of a third game harassed. It is this refusal to flat-out the existence of Half-Life 3, speculation has led for almost a decade undeniable.
As we write this in 2015, what is the probability that Half-Life 3 could happen? We break down the three main themes that could indicate what happens.
It is the source
March 3 officially announced at GDC 2015 source valve 2 as Counter Strike Source and Half-Life 2 helped introduce the engine of the original source, put the motor side of speculation at full speed. Maybe for two for the valve spring keeps all the time.
So far, only one valve was found that the engine is free developer; We have no word on the price or any other games that run it. But something will surely come, and Half-Life 3 could be something.
In addition, the announcement of the HTC Vivid, the first virtual reality helmet that is running on the VR valve technology was stirred pot. How do steam engines of the re-announcement Valve.
The machines will end up with SteamOS and Vive helmet at the end of 2015, and it would make much sense to Valve to use all these new technologies to present one of their own in-house titles. It has been much speculation that Left 4 Dead 3 could be on the cards first - fans of the franchise as hungry zombies Valve for a third installment.
And, where appropriate, the art concept
In June 2012, a number of conceptual art in the supposed Half-Life 2: Episode 3 was leaked on the web. What is strange is that Valve has still not on the validity of that what many of us believe that they really are legitimate -. And may actually end up as part of Half-Life 3
In addition, we reported last year that the co-creator of Counter Strike Minh Lee open to see added some conceptual drawings themselves. "I do not think I can talk about it, to be honest," he said. "I think this is a kind of common knowledge that people know that it will work. And when I say, yes, I've seen pictures of drawings as a concept it would be no big news to be honest. I guess I could say I do not see anything that looked like a little Half-Life universe. "
"And I mean, it will not surprise anyone if I say what they do, they work, yes. So go out on a limb, I'd say I have some concept art for Half-Life 3."
Culture War
Newell himself, why we did not Half-Life 3 does not see suggested, and in fact, why we may never see at all. The Answer? Social Gaming.
"So this is someone who is leader of the X team, it will be really resist when X is not what you want to do in the next series of games," said Newell in an interview with the Washington Post in 2004. "They do not want to cave in this way -. to realize that to be really good in the Half-Life level design is not as close as assessed think about how to shape the social multiplayer experiences you want to have something to feel how it binds an organization and title, if the key is simply to follow, where customers are leading. "
You can do the hard truth: Valve has evolved to focus on broader social experiences that their success Dota 2, which is almost the opposite of Half-Life.
But still, Newell refuses to exclude anything. In a separate interview in March 2015 Newell responded to the question of the possibility of a third set, "The only reason we would go back and look like a super classic type of product is when a number of People said internally at Valve, they wanted to do and had a reasonable explanation for why [they] ".
