Half-Life 3 Confirmed By Valve's Lombardi?

[Craig]

Lombardi (who is Valve's marketing big-wig) says, in this interview, that Half-Life does not end with Episode 3.

Stuff We Like: Are there any current plans after Episode 3 to have a Half Life 3?

Dave L: We haven’t announced anything specific, but Half-Life won’t end at Episode Three – hang on to your crowbars!

So obviously Episode 3 was imminent given how Epi 2 ended, but this seems to indicate we'll either get more HL2 installments, or as this site speculates, a full-blown Half-Life 3.

And it begins...

Wouldn't that be Half-Life Four? Because wasn't it one of the heads that said that the Episodic trilogy was the third installment?

it'd be 3rd by "new engine." They won't use source, it's too dated.

Don't you love how I assume that without even reading the article first?

[Craig]

works for me Vin!

[VincentVega]

as per my OT forum rant earlier today on the anorexic state of single player games these days, I'm more for HL3 and 2-EP3 than I could even put into words. probably won't see squat for HL3 before 2010. It'll go fast though.

Almost kind of scared to think where I'll be in two years.

Hope it's not city 17!

sadly, I take your word as fact and distribute it, knowing I, too, will never click the article link thingy.

Welcome, Welcome to City 18.


I hope that it's set somewhere new, meaning no more eastern european envournment because thats starting to get old.

Set in the USA would be pretty cool, I'd love to see what became of New York and Washington.
