Marc Laidlaw is a former scriptwriter for Valve and is primarily known for his work on the Half Life series. He has finally revealed the overarching plot for Half Life 3 (Episode 3?), which continues from the cliffhanger at the end of Half Life 2 Episode 2. The website where the post was originally published looks to be down right now, probably because of thousands of gamers flooding to read the post, but here’s a copy of it as it was. Also, take this with a grain of salt, as you should with all things on the internet. Names have been changed, for the sake of privacy, I guess.. Dearest Playa, I hope this letter finds you well. I can hear your complaint already, “Gertie Fremont, we have not heard from you in ages!” Well, if you care to hear excuses, I have plenty, the greatest of them...
Half-Life 3, a name that needs no introduction. It’s probably the most anticipated game of all time, and though Valve doesn’t seem to have any plans to bring it to life, that doesn’t stop the the hype. But according to Marc Laidlaw, the series writer, even if Half-Life 3 had been released, it’s unlikely that it would’ve provided the closure that everyone seems to be looking for. [interaction id=”5971993b7ea93a275889e2f0″] Speaking to Arcade Attack, when asked whether Half-Life 3 would be released, Laidlow said, “No idea.” He also confirmed that he wouldn’t be returning to Valve even if the game returned to active development. He continues, “I had ideas for Episode 3. They were all supposed to take the series to a point where...
Now we’ve discussed the games that we really want to see this year at E3 2017, and we tried to keep our expectations tempered. But if we were to let our wishful thinking free, then we would also want to see the following games, but probably won’t. So here are the top 10 video games we probably won’t see at E3 2017. Elder Scrolls 6 With the massive success that Skyrim was, it wouldn’t be too far fetched to think that Bethesda will put out another one soon. However, with how strongly they are supporting Elder Scrolls Online, and adding huge expansions regularly, it’s hard to imagine them cannibalizing their own game. Though, if they do decide to put out a new Elder Scrolls game, I’d love to see Valenwood. Far Cry 5 Ubisoft has its hands full these days. Wh...
In a recent Reddit AMA session, Gabe Newell, the President at Valve Software, had some interesting insights to share on what’s next for Valve. To start with, he confirmed that valve is working on new video games, including ‘fully fledged single player games’. He also hinted at the possibility of the game being based in the Half Life universe, if not an outright continuation of Freeman’s adventures. He was vague on anything directly associated with the Half Life series, specially Half Life 3, stating that ‘the number 3 must not be said’. Also regarding anonymous sources claiming that Half Life 3 will never be made, he sarcastically replied that ‘I personally believe all unidentified anonymous sources on the Internet’. With regards to games act...
Let us take a moment to commend those Half Life 3 supporters that have literally had to wait a lifetime and probably more at this rate. They just don’t seem to want to give up at all–even though chances are that the game may not even come out in their lifetime. Some supporters took to the official Watch Dogs Facebook page asking when Half Life 3 will be out….no seriously, they did! It does sound pretty funny but you can feel for those guys who want nothing more than a few answers. I mean it has been quite a while, and now Ubisoft is part-taking in the fun by simply replying “we have no idea when Half Life 3 will be out. If you find out, let us know.” Really loved how they’ve taken everything in their stride! What do you’ll think is the future to this game, wil...
