Half Life 2: Episode 3 Silence

Why has Gabe kept Episode 3 such a secret? He never did this before! He ALWAYS tell people if there is going to be a another game or not. Gabe hasn't yet said anything about Episode 3. What does this mean? I believe that it could be because they are hard at work on it. Could it also be that they delayed it because they are working on the newest Source Engine? If they do, hopefully they can make it work on low-end machines at best, making player experience on such machines great! This would be great, because that means sales go up, and people with low end machines don't have to get a new computer. BUT, here is a sum-up from PCGamer, from the article called

"Half-Life 2: Episode 3 silence due to development “twists and turns” says Newell"


"Twists and Turns"


I seriously doubt it. I mean, seriously! VALVe is known to find problems and destroy them quite quickly! Could this possibly mean problems with the Source Engine???


“We’d like to be super transparent about the future of Ricochet 2”


We all know Ricochet 2 is Episode 3. Who liked Ricochet 1? Barely anyone. I understand it was a game from 2000, but it doesn't need a sequel! So it's easily said that it's Episode 3. What else would it be?

Episode 3 has been in development more than any other VALVe game. Since Episode 2 was released in 2004, that makes it 8 years in development! The earliest popular game after that was Left 4 Dead. And since then, no other major games, other than Counter Strike, Portal 2, and Dota games, were currently being worked on.

Stay tuned, for in the next post, I want to talk about something big!
