TOPIC: So Half-Life: Episode 3 Story got leaked?

So I was minding my own business when I came across Mark Laidlaws blog, and in it he posted the events that follow up on Half-Life: Episode 2. If you guys wanna read I will provide the link. Since his blog either got taken down or way too many people trying to get into that post the site is down. But there is a backup! Which you can find Here

Probably fake. Chances of the Half Life story continuing is very low.
The only possibilities that I can see for the continuations of the Half Life or Portal franchises is if they decided to continue it in VR for the HTC Vive - For Portal that is highly likely, as they have already been working on the technology (Portal Stories VR), but Half Life would also be possible.

Because the HTC Vive isn't shitty (all the other VR is)? They will most likely not do it until it becomes more common for people to have it, and when the Vive has had all the new shit they are planning added to it, but it would be bloody amazing to play Portal on the Vive.

TheXnator wrote: Nah I mean vr just really isn't all that great right now not what type of vr headset you use, movement is really restricted and shit

Lewis_is_java wrote:
The Vive has the least restrictions with the movement, and is pretty good all around, definitely topping the rest, but yes, they would definitely have to improve a lot of the software and hardware in order to be able to make a game as complex as Portal and have it actually work properly.

I quote Valve itself: "We are mainly focusing on VR and other Hardware now."
Valve doesn't give a shit about their old games anymore, they just keep them alive for money.
I do expect HL3 though, check out ValveNewsNetwork why + for the Valve interview.

Will add link when im on pc.

Lewis_is_java wrote: To add up to all of this, HL3 will probably never come out but Mark, the guy who wrote the whole HL Universe released the story for Episode 3.

Probably fake

Wolfi wrote: Well I think it's the real deal, as I said HL3 wont come out but after 10 years we deserve something. This is from the guy who wrote the story.

Oh my it's Nao Tomori... (<3 Charlotte)

If we don't get a game. I would enjoy a book!

It's not fake.

That has to be fake, onehundred percent

TheXnator wrote: all the people who worked on half life don't work in valve anymore including the guy who posted the story, he was the lead writer of half life 2 and episodes 1 and 2 and since his NDA with valve expired recently he decided to post it. here is a tweet he made after his website went down (he is labeling it as fanfic so he doesn't get in legal trouble if you havent realized that by now btw) Marc Laidlaw‏ @marc_laidlaw : My website's down for now. I guess fanfic is popular, even a genderswapped snapshot of a dream I had many years ago.
