Half-Life 2: Episode 3 will contain Valve’s laundry list

supadupagama February 9th, 2008 Listen to this article "Hey! Listen!"

Half-Life 2: Episode 3 sees the trilogy continueValve employees were asked “What can we expect in Half-Life 2: Episode 3?” in a recent interview. The Half-Life 2: Episode 2 project lead David Speyrer answered: “We don’t know entirely what’s happening in the next episode, but we’re gonna figure it out!” he laughed.

He then further explained: “There are always things we want to do that we can’t because of the constraints of either the story or the arc we’ve laid out for the gameplay - or just time. So we shelve them and carry on. Ideas fly around here quite a bit, so we have this huge laundry list of things to try [from previous Half-Life 2 games] for the next thing… [Half-Life 2: Episode 3].” — Via PCzone

In case you’re wondering what will happen after Episode 3 is released in either 2008 or 2009. Developer Valve said it will be the last episode in the currently planned story arc, but it will not be the end of the Half-Life franchise, so Half-Life 2: Episode 4 or in a way Half-Life 3 might be entirely possible.

    Don’t know, but as it is set on an Aperture ship, I sincerely hope that they have the portal gun.

    I dont think their gonna give gordon the portal gun and anyway: wouldnt it be pretty stupid to have a portal gun in HL? (cool yes but stupid).I hope we can kill an advisor in it and get some more info about g-man
    ofc some ppl think g-man is gordon from future.. would be nice if alyx would be allmost 24/7 with Gordon like in episode 2
    ppl allso would like to be able to play on fully destructible environement now that would lag like hell and allso would be stupid i mean what if enemies blow the ground before you and stop you from going forward
    as about the ship its aperature scienses i think theres something important about teleport technology but not the portal gun

    I think some sure facts and common sense are in order here. First of all we know the main aim of episode 3 is to climb aboard the boralis and ulimately destory it, the combine and dr.breen while also rescuing dr. mossman, and we know that vengence upon some advisors is due, as well as the fate or future of alyx and gordon….
    the question is what happens from they get on the helicopter until the reac the boralis and how they accomplish their mission, where will barney and the others come into the episode

    Well, this is gonna be a standard “We will release this fall 2008″ which translated will mean X-mas 2009 at best. Valve has a track record of a snail. First they tease the publiq with Hals-Life 2 and announce to the world that there will be Episode 1-3 but they have no plan, nor strategy to get it done or release dates and they do not even have a story line for episode 3. Tha only triology that has been available on time was Lord of the Rings. You knew when they where going to be released and you could count on it. By the time Episode 3 comes out the game will be outdated or most computers that was bought to be able to play Half-Life 2!
