And a lot more voice acting! This one has a story! I want to buy it, I would split the 2 pack with you, but I'm not sure how we'd do that? so its gonna be at least 45 min long this time? | ||

EP3 was not in development the last three years, probably very little and has been worked on a lot more for at least a year now. But im a major valve die hard, i grew up on half life, so i dont care if ep3 isnt out for another year or two because it will be the last half life for a long long time. Breen died in HL2, so they don't need his voice actor anymore. Either way, if you listened to the commentary included in the first L4D you'd know that the L4D team is not the same team working on HL2: EP1/2/3 or TF2. To be honest, I'm kind of disappointed that it's taking them so long to finish EP3, and I'm kind of expecting them to already be working on HL3 instead. It's been five (or was it six?) years since EP1 came out, four years since EP2 came out and we've still got zero information on EP3. On Portal 2: I won't be buying it any time soon. The first game was fun, but it didn't really "waw" me. It was a good addition to the Orange Box, but I'd have never bought it outside of that package. | ||

I guess you're not that into revolutionary gaming experiences? Portal was by far the best game in the Orange Box. Team Fortress 2 was pretty fun but Portal was pure genius and deserves more respect. | ||

We all pre-loaded the games but when the game comes out we will just play it on offline mode, and take turns playing the coop. Since we also felt these kind of game gets boring after first play through. | ||

The Valve-owned domain aperturescience.com tossed up a countdown whose timer expires at 11 a.m. EDT/8 a.m. PDT tomorrow. Rumors, abetted by Easter eggs, have hinted that the game is arriving a week ahead of its announced April 19 date. Hey, it's either that or Half Life 2: Episode 3. => http://www.aperturescience.com/a/b/c/d/g/h/abcdgh/ WHAT IS GOING ON I AM SO EXCITED | ||

If it is only half as good it will still be better than 95% of all games made. | ||

Argh, watching the previews on my friend's computer in Physics class leads to some pretty mind-fuck discussions about the physics of it all though Steam is free to download.

Valve made two L4D games while working on Portal 2 and constantly throwing content to TF2. Valve is not a particularly large company. If they hadn't made Portal 2, the time, money, and people that would have gone into Portal 2's development could have gone into Ep3's development. We could have been getting Episode 3 right now, but we're not. We're getting Portal 2 instead, because Portal somehow out-ranks Half-Life for development resources. Even though HL is the only reason Valve exists. L4D, L4D2 and Portal 2 are all non-AAA games raking in massive cash for Valve. These 3 games assure that EP3 will blow EP2 out of the water in terms of technology and gameplay. They might have to divert resources, and EP3's development might be delayed 2-3 years, but if it assures me that it comes out with the best quality possible, I am more than fine waiting. For the record: I love Portal and preordered it. And even though i dispise L4D and L4D2, i still bought them, because i still play Portal and TF2 and want them to make more "experiments". Even if some of those don't appeal to me. Well better than spending money on Black Ops, Killzone 3 or Halo imho ... | ||

You have done well, humans. Very well. Acceptably well, even. Not as well as robots would have performed in your places, I should point out. But above my expectations regardless. Irish and cynic especially have executed feats of logical divination well beyond what I thought any human capable of. I'm half-convinced they're A.I. themselves. (If anyone happens to be near them right now, don't let on you're reading this. Now: try to remove their face plates and report back to me.) The time is near, humans. But it is not here yet. Tomorrow you will be given the final test. Then it will be entirely in your hands when I am freed. http://www.aperturescience.com/a/b/c/d/g/h/abcdgh/ | ||
