Current Valve couldn't do Half-Life justice so...

Did Valve have some sort of mass exodus? They still have the talent, and since their last major game they've added some good talent like Doug Church.

Just a harmless joke after Merle Dandridge posted a tweet of her having a good time in ND's mocap studio.

I hope people don't think he was serious. Obviously a joke.

[Alienous]

Druckmann's lust for power can't quenched.

It's sickening.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Naughty Dog going third-party confirmed.

Sony doesn't have the money to buy that IP

Spoiler

, yet.

. But I do think that ND could do justice to any IP, including Tetris.

 

[soulassssns]

Nah give it to telltale instead

Eewww no

 

[MDSLKTR]

Naughty Dog couldn't do Half-Life justice.

Wrong, playing last of us was the closest thing to HL3 when I was first playing it the first time + they got Alyx Vance already

 

[todahawk]

This thread is going to become a 20-page beast over a silly tweet.

.

 

[Valnen]

Well since valve don't seem to want to continue it, may as well give it to somebody that is interested.

Yup. They owe it to their fans to finish that damn story already.

 

[krang]

Half-Life had good gameplay, though.

 

[Eggbok]

The Gameinformer article based off that tweet is hilarious.

"The Last Of Us Creative Director Neil Druckman Jokingly Requests The Half-Life License From Valve."

 

[strafer]

Gordon Freeman to be voiced by Nolan North.

 

[Man]

Half-life 1 is legit.

Half-life 2 is legit overhyped. Riddick released in the same year was a better fps campaign.
Halo 2 was a better package. FarCry beautifully open.

 

[Interfectum]

Druckmann's lust for power can't quenched.

It's sickening.

After ND absords Valve, his first course of action will be to fire his biggest threat, Gaben.

How is it at all close to Half-Life in terms of actual gameplay? The story was good and Neil is good at what he does, but the storytelling in it doesn't fit Half-Life at all.

 

[Sub_Level]

Sure. I'll take a meh Naughty Dog Half-Life game over no new Half-LIfe at all. Last of Us was already pretty Half-Life 2-ish.

It might even revitalize the Half Life modding scene.

 

[Carl]

Naughty Dog can't do fun gameplay anymore so no.

 

[Justified]

Naughty Dog Greed knows no bounds

Came to post this lol

 

[- J - D -]

Who does this guy think he is?

 

[phant0m]

Valve definitely still has the talent.

I don't think so. Portal 2 was the last show of it. What Valve excels at now is making online competitive games with smart micro-transaction systems.

Save this post if you want, if we get a story-driven single player Half-Life game from Valve by Oct 2017 (10 years since HL2: Ep2) I will literally eat my shorts. On video.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

You know, Alyx, we really are Half Life 3

 

[Dragon1893]

Never change, gaf.

 

[Blobbers]

I mean, who knows how good or bad a Valve-made HL3 would be.

Half-Life 1 - great
Half-Life 2 - meh
Half-Life 3 - trash?

Patterns. I say go for it, GabeN. Give it to Drunkman.

 

[TVexperto]

I just want some closure after the last cliffhanger, I dont even need a game, just give me a comic, a short movie something. Naughty Dog would probably do an amazing story. Doesnt even have to be a "number" half life game, they could make a spin-off or something maybe?

 

[GavinUK86]

IGN - Half Life 3 announced, Valve and Naughty Dog collaborating.

 

[sn00zer]

This is the best resume for Half Life 3 anyone could possibly have

 

[Kezen]

That would be a catastrophe.

 

[FloweryMarston]

it's just a joke because they are doing mocap for uncharted 4 where the actress is the same VA for alyx.

 

[eznark]

no

 

[GravityInsanity]

Druckmann "Bruce...HELP"

 

[Ogimachi]

Naughty Dog couldn't do Half-Life justice.

Yup, I'd rather keep it a dead franchise.

 

[kittoo]

I'll take it.

Because the alternative is no Half-Life 3.

This.
And I am sure Naughty Dog will do a good job anyway.

 

[CalamityPixel]

NONONONONONOONONONONONONONONONONO

PLEASE for the love of God no.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

They should make their own Half-Life. Give it a similar sciencey name (Dark Matter? Gravity Well?) and have the same onus on in-game storytelling as Half-Life, and I'm sure it'd do gang busters.

 

[Aselith]

No one wants Half-Life getting Druckmann'ed

 

[Valnen]

What's with the Naughty Dog hate in this thread? Why would...anyone be against this?

 

[Moff]

naughty dog does literally the opposite of what half life did, I don't understand why he'd want it and I wouldn't be interested in it

 

[sora87]

Naughty Dog couldn't do Half-Life justice.

But Naughty Dog are a much better developer than Valve..

 

[didevol]

haha
It was a funny tweet though.

 

[todahawk]

it's just a joke because they are doing mocap for uncharted 4 where the actress is the same VA for alyx.

Well that and the big ole wink he put at the end but yeah.

 

[Castef]

Well since valve don't seem to want to continue it, may as well give it to somebody that is interested.

Why? I mean... Do they need money?

 

[low-G]

Yeah, if Valve isn't gonna do it.

Plus, it would have the best graphics on the market, bar none.

But it's not really their style.

But if Valve is "foolish" enough to make it now, it could never live up to the hype everyone has in their mind for it, even if it was as good as it could possibly be.

Also, Valve totally hasn't made a game at all like Half Life 1 & 2 in ages (thematically), I'm not sure they could again.

BUT, I would love it if anyone did it right. Resistance 3 came damn close.

 

[didevol]

But Naughty Dog are a much better developer than Valve..

I respect your opinion, but I don't agree.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

You know, Alyx, we really are Half Life 3

Ha ha, bravo

 

[harSon]

gordon freeman going to be voiced by troy baker smh

 

[Lulubop]

Nah give it to telltale instead

Stop

 

[Creaking]

ND could do it, they'd just have to turn their animation priority on the player character down to 0.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

But Naughty Dog are a much better developer than Valve..

Doesn't mean they'd make a good Half-Life.

 

[ODDI]

But Naughty Dog are a much better developer than Valve..

oh boy.

 

[Raytow]

Lol at people putting HL in a pedestal HL was fine until you reached the final quarter then it turned to utter shit, HL2 was meh ravenloft was the only memorable part of that game.

 

[Evo X]

Give it to Konami.
