Valve responds to Half-Life 3 demands
GAMES DEVELOPER Valve has said it is aware of its fans frustrations waiting for new titles such as Half-Life 3.
The firm has said it doesn't want to get its fans hyped up for a game only to disappoint them, so it is keeping quiet about big upcoming titles like Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3. One of Valve's top executives spoke to The Penny Arcade on the subject.
Gabe Newell, co-founder and managing director of Valve said, "We're acutely aware of how much we annoy our fans and it's pretty frustrating to us when we put them into that situation."
He said that part of the reason the firm has avoided talking about future plans is because of mishaps in the past. Newell said, "When we've done that in the past, you know, with Half-Life 1, it was a year after we originally said it would be."
"We're trying to be careful not to get people too excited and then have to go and disappoint them. So we're sort of reacting in the other direction and saying, 'okay, well let's have things a little more baked before we start getting people all excited about it.'" he added.
Fans have been petitioning for the next installment of the Half-Life series, but hopefully the wait will be worth it. Newell said, "We try to go as fast as we can and we try to pick the things that we think are going to be most valuable to our customers." µ

And HL2 Ep3 is the new DNF?
These guys are talking HL3, meanwhile I'm left standing with my $^&# in my hands after that EP 2 ending...
"///Don't Leave me"
Screw HL3, just give em Ep3 for now.
No news here at all. Great reporting guys!
Well, I've been waiting for this for so long, this is the game that I've been hoping for longer and more eagerly than any other in history. although, this much radio silence is going a bit too far. What if they announce a date for release, and then STILL after all of this valve time it is late? It will just mean that this lengthy silence has been totally pointless which could push franchise fans totally over the edge. Valve you don't have to give us ANYTHING. No trailer, no screencaps, no release date. All we really want is confirmation that HL3 or episode 3 or whatever the fuck it's called is actually going to be made, yes or no, simple.
When I saw the title, I thought someone was using the game as possible payment for a threat.
