Their faces looked especially pained when he (half-jokingly) talked about how people don't consider Valve as a company that makes games anymore. There's no doubt that Valve is full of creative people who love making games, and seeing so few of them reach the light of day must be frustrating among all the other ventures at the company. Also what Wrds Mth said.

    "Half-Life 3 was a terrifyingly daunting prospect." They made such a masterpiece in Half-Life 2 and the Episodes that they would rather ignore it forever than not live up to the legacy. On one hand I really appreciate this because they understand that they can't half-ass Half-Life and release an average game. But on the other hand these developers are some of the most skilled in the world. They can certainly create a superb game... they just need more confidence. I just hope that HL:A gives them the courage to move the original story forward and to its conclusion.

      @koroshiya978 5 лет назад +52

      I don't buy this explanation. It's probably more the case that they couldn't figure out what Half life 3 was suppose to be a trojan horse for. HL2 was the killer app that ultimately made Steam the juggernaut storefront that it is today. They want HL3 to be the title that would be the killer app of the thing that comes after Steam. Trying to figure out what that THING was is why it was never released. The episode game format was like the first experiment. VR is the current one. If HL:Alyx is a big success you will likely see Half Life 3 as a VR exclusive title.

      I lucked out when the office was in a bit of disarray as a number of the people there were coming back from their vacation and was able to get a private tour from someone familiar with their move to the new building. Those offices are incredible. The view alone is stunning - on a clear day, like when I visited, I could see the skyline of Seattle, including the Space Needle.
      Significant portions of the building itself had to be modified to accommodate their requirements, such as the strengthening of the entire lobby floor to hold whatever they wanted to put up there, such as the famous red valve they've had forever. Other modifications include the soundproofing (actual acoustic isolation from the *entire* building) of the recording studio. There's three feet of air between the interior window of the recording room and the exterior window (you can see the building's skeleton in the space between).
      In each of the cafeterias on (almost? fuzzy memory) every floor they have custom tile art (you can see an example of this at 7:30) that was designed with intent, instead of just a random assortment of Valve-related things; a couple walls had waveforms representative of voice lines from some of their games. Everything in that office was hand-picked with deliberation and it's just amazing.

After Episode 3 fizzled out and became vaporware, everyone was talking about how Valve would need to make a full length HL3 to make up for it... and then that never came either. In one interview with Gabe he mentioned "No one here wants to do Half-Life." The first HL was ground breaking, the second equally so with the Gravity gun. After Portal though, they were kind of out of game changing ideas. Creators need an impotus to be 'creative'. This is why they started investing heavily in VR to begin with. Anyone who has followed Valve over the last 3 years knew we would eventually see a VR title from them. Most assumed it would be Portal, but if this game does HL justice, and pushes the gaming medium forward... I don't really care if I need to make an investment to be a part of it. That has been the case with nearly evety worthwhile advancement, tech or otherwise, since "ground-breaking" became a phrase.
