Valve insider: “The idea of delivering a third episode of Half-Life 2, that’s dead. There’s no universe where that will happen.”

Last week, we informed you about some ideas that Valve had for Half-Life 3. And while this new information may have sparked – once again – the interest for a third episode of Half-Life 2, a Valve insider claimed that Half-Life 2: Episode Three is never going to happen, and that it’s dead.

Half-Life 3 was a “hot mess”, had lots of prototypes (including an RTS and an adventure action game)

It’s almost a given by now that we won’t be getting Half-Life 3… ever. Still, this doesn’t mean that Valve wasn’t working on such a game. According to GameInformer’s Andrew Reiner, Half-Life 3 was a hot mess and had a lot of prototypes from very small teams.

Rumour: Half Life 3 Page Spotted In Steam Database, Beta Testing Section Mentioned

Half Life 3 may be a real thing, if Steam’s database is anything to go by.

Half Life 3 v2

Megaton incoming or not? Valve today trademarked Half Life 3 in Europe. In case you’re wondering then no, this is not a prank. Valve has officially filed a trademark for Half Life 3.

Still, it’s quite interesting to say the least, so let’s see how this story unfolds. Kudos to NeoGAF’s member ‘shinobi602’ for spotting it, who was also kind enough to also capture the following images. Believe!

Valve: When we announce Half Life 3, we’ll do it our way

It’s really ironic, isn’t it? E3 is about to start and – as you’d expect – there is no mention or hints about Half Life 3. Okay, there were some onion rings but… come on. You can’t possibly take that onion rings seriously now, can you? Unless of course they are really tasteful, in which case Valve should keep them coming. Apart from those onion rings though, Valve has not revealed anything and according to the company’s Chet Faliszek, when Valve announce Half Life 3, they’ll do it their way and not by simply revealing it via a T-Shirt or some hidden web code. Continue reading Valve: When we announce Half Life 3, we’ll do it our way

Half Life 3 Fan-Made Commercial: Join The Resistance

Pat Goodwin – from Equilitree – directed a short non-commercial film for Half-Life 3. This video lasts around 2 minutes and has a narration about the Resistance and Gordon Freeman’s history. It’s pretty basic, but at the same time it’s easy to the eyes and kind of cool. It doesn’t have those funky special effects of all other fan-made Half-Life films but then again, that’s not a bad thing as its artistic direction is completely different. Enjoy! Continue reading Half Life 3 Fan-Made Commercial: Join The Resistance
