What do you really want from Valve?

Merged your posts, capteeni, and for future reference, edit button is on the bottom right of your post.

I think Half-Life 2: Episodes will be the end of the Half-Life saga, at least for the main storyline. Who knows how many episodes we get, though?

Hopefully to infinity.

Hopefully to infinity.

A longcat link would have been more appropriate.

What do I really want? Updates that don't break stuff.

I once compared Valve to a vacuum cleaner salesman who succeeds in cleaning your floor but punches a hole in your roof while he's there.

You must hate every game then.

Real Time Lightning rendering in the 3D viewport in Source SDK Hammer. Like the Doom3 engine based games.

Half-Life 2 Episodes are Half-Life 2 Episodes
Half-Life 3 will be Half-Life 3

And yes, I know Gabe Newell once said Half-Life 3 : Episode One would probably have been a better name.

I agree man, completely. For whatever that's worth.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

"Throughout the interview, Newell refers to the episodes as Half-Life 3, and points out that they aren't considered expansions."

Lets see, Gabe mentions that the episodes are Half Life 3 more than once, they are not expansions but are parts of a full game, Gabe created the Half Life games, Gabe might just know what he is talking about, anyone catching on?

So if Valve really think Half-Life series are profit-making. They can simply call Half-Life "3" as, for instance, as Half-Life: The Final Strike. It is not necessary to put a number after "Half-Life".




Even if Half-Life's gonna end shortly, the Half-Life series have already become the logo of Valve. So why not whenever there is new techinology out, Valve can make a playable technology demo through the story of Half-Life. This gonna be impressive and Valve really needs not to deliberately make another separate Half-Life-game.

I'd like to see valve's take on a different genre.. I'm sure they could invent a whole new one. I'd like to play some kind of mass-cooperative online game

We've got Sven Co-op 2 for that one though (whenever it gets released).

Hmm, i'd like to see VALVe make an mmo.

SourcePG?

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

No.

After Half-life has run it's course, Valve will move on to other things. I hope so, anyway.

 

[bbson john]

Make Alyx a character, so it is a co-opt game. I can play it with my girl friend. Godd idea?

 

[Duracell]

SDK update.

Edit - First post in mooonths, oh god I feel like an old timer after looking at all the join dates

a half-life movie

i would really like-no love a halflife movie! going threw hl 1through hl 2 ep 3

I think a HL movie should steer away from Gordon as much as possible, as in you never see him. Lets say it starts off at HL1 about a kid who goes through the Comine attacking then ends up after HL Episode 4 as a resistance member.

Keep gordons name and all but he never even talks n all. Mention him throughout the movie etc.. I'd say this would be the best way to go. Keep all the events that are going on but from someone elses perspective.

 

[Tyguy]

Maybe a better SDK, more content, maybe a new multiplayer game mode

 

[stewe231]

i mean like, hl 1 hl 2 hl 2 ep 1, ep 2, ep 3, like that not just hl 1 then after ep 3
