Is the Telltale thing a joke? I really hope so.

 

[sora87]

oh boy.

Having played all the games both have to offer, I'm confident in my statement.

 

[Curufinwe]

Naughty Dog can't touch Valve. If Half Life released in 2013, it'd still be GOTY over TLOU.

Only if they took out Xen and replaced it with something that isn't total fucking garbage.

 

[Skux]

Nolan and Troy couldn't do justice to the wordless wonder that is Gordon.

 

[tioslash]

Nah give it to telltale instead

(?) Gordon will remember that.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Nah give it to telltale instead

What? No I'd well... better than nothing I suppose. But I'd rather Valve just make it one of their short movies like the bread TF2 movie than deal with Telltale glitchy episodic games.

I'd take ND Half Life episode 3. I'd take whoever makes Portal version of half Life episode 3. I remember hoping Half Life e3 would revolve around portal in the world, to be the new gadget that replaces gravity gun.

 

[TheRealTalker]

the other option is no Half Life 3 so....

 

[Harmen]

Hell yes. Many of the things I love about HL2 are also elements that ND excels at imo. And looking at TLOU, I can totally see them nailing the atmosphere, plot and pacing.

 

[Unit24]

Hell no.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

You trust Valve in 2015? I do not.

Lord Druckmann on the other hand would do the franchise justice.

 

[- J - D -]

Naughty Dog can't touch Valve's characterization.

Gordon is so charismatic that Alyx instantly falls in love with him. It's so compelling, their relationship. Like when she gives Gordon her gravity gun, it signifies giving herself to him. Highly erotic.

Exactly. Developers or shopkeepers.

 

[The Lamonster]

No way in hell Valve would give that property to anyone else.

They'd rather just let it rot and die.

 

[Redevil]

He's got a point, It's not like Valve is going to use it.

There's a wee wink at the end of his post but still...

There's a wee wink at the end but let's all get indignant anyway. *wee wink*

 

[Ploid 3.0]

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

They'd make more money releasing hats and skins for Dota and TF2 :\. Half Life episode 3 or just half life 3 would be a hobby for Valve at this point. They're swimming in money doing other things.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Just getting that out of the way since I know that's what this thread will devolve into.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

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

I'd rather it stay in purgatory than have someone come in and fuck up the franchise name.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Naughty Dog can't touch Valve's characterization.

And Alyx is such a great, non-sexualized female character.
What's Naughty Dog's effort? Coco Bandicoot? Fuck outta here with that shit.

 

[OnionPowder]

Exactly. Developers or shopkeepers.

Have you even played their F2P games? Dota 2 is the farthest away from a shop vs other games in the genre.

 

[CMojicaAce]

What if Uncharted 4 IS Half-Life 3?

 

[Chindogg]

Sure as long as Druckmann doesn't write the script.

 

[TemplaerDude]

No. No no no no no no no no no no no. Don't. I'd rather wait forever than have Naughty Dog do anything with it.

 

[Jobbs]

I stopped caring about Half-Life long ago. It was innovative at the time, but I see little special in it now, and it has the most ridiculous and uncharismatic lead character I've ever seen in a game. I'd much rather ND work on something good, something their own.

I would have cared about HL if they released a new game or a new episode maybe 5 years ago. Stopped caring.

 

[Valnen]

Naughty Dog wouldn't fuck it up.

Not that ND will do HL3 but they'd do their own take on it and it would likely be a good game that pisses off a certain percentage of Half-Life fans just because it wasn't from Valve.

 

[Shiz86]

Come on guys. Druckmann knows he is a prominent figure in the industry and that his comments carry weight. Enough so that it my actually help result in Valve getting off their backsides and making HL3 for us.

He knows that there is no way in hell Valve would ever even consider this but ultimately it may help us actually get HL 3. Even a small sliver of determination from Valve to make this game is a good thing and if comments like this spark that then keep em coming.

 

[Trickster]

Oh god please no

The source engine isn't capable enough to handle the number of enemies Druckmann would force Gordon freeman to murder.

"Nothing?"

I mean, hey... somebody's gotta do it. Valve has made it clear that they have no intention to.

Alyx is a lady who does cool stuff. But she isn't particularly interesting a character. Actually, she's hobbled by her inexplicable attachment to Gordon, who is a mute avatar.

 

[sith23]

ANOTHER SEQUEL? I want a new IP!

Spoiler

/s

I'll gladly take ND's vision tho.

 

[sora87]

I'd rather it stay in purgatory than have someone come in and fuck up the franchise name.

 

[Blobbers]

What other devs aside from ND could take over? I think giving the series to Miyazaki and making it have a more Dark Soul-y feel would be the right move.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Give Half-Life to MACHINE GAMES.

Fuck, now I really want a Half-Life made by MACHINE GAMES.

 

[Apdiddy]

I'd say give it to Insomniac. They already did it with Resistance 3, make them do it again.

I hope that's a joke.

Half-Life would've been a completely different game in 2013 than what we got, given if Valve had developed as a company like it has. For a lot of reasons I would be very worried about Half-Life 3 if it had happened, since I really doubt Valve in its current state would've delivered the same or better quality than its predecessors.

 

[Bear Force One]

Have you even played their F2P games? Dota 2 is the farthest away from a shop vs other games in the genre.

They are shopkeepers that make an occasional F2P.

 

[FStop7]

Naughty Dog couldn't do Half-Life justice.

Neither can Valve, apparently.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Druckmann's lust for power can't quenched.

It's sickening.

That ND greed!

 

[twobear]

it would be cute for gordon freeman to be walking around making puns about the things he sees in the environment and touching every wall he walks past

 

[Raziel]

Couldn't be worse than Half-life 2.

 

[TouchMyBox]

I'd say give it to Insomniac. They already did it with Resistance 3, make them do it again.
