You guys have to understand that as games get more graphics intensive and "pretty" so all you people will be satisfied, game developers have to spend VERY long amounts of time on levels. Making immersive levels with the most amazing characters intwined into them, isnt something you just throw together. Then consider all the voice acting. Theres SOOO much that goes into a game now. A Hell of alot more than what went into HL1. The Future of Games = Game Development Time Up , Game Play Total Hours Down. Sad but true. If it's 19 hours, then it will be the best 19 hours we've ever played.
