He explained that VR has become a tool for exploring the different kinds of designs that the development team wanted to do on “Half Life 3.”
Despite all the side issues that the game has to deal with, it seems very likely that the game will finally hit the gaming consoles and the PC next year.
The first “Half Life” game came out in 1998 for the Windows PC as released by Sierra Studios. Subsequently, the sci-fi first-person shooter video game also made it to the PlayStation 2, the Mac OS X and Linux in January 2013.
Players take on the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman in the video game. Freeman is a theoretical physicist who must fight his way out of a secret underground research facility, where a research and experiment on teleportation has gone terribly wrong.
The “Half-Life” franchise has sold over 20 million units as of July 2007. That figure may already be close to being doubled if the results of “Half-Life 2” are also factored in.
When “Half Life 3” has been confirmed, Gabe Newell explained that they will be doing the sequel should Valve employees agree to do it.
Newell said that the only reason why he’d go back and do a super classic kind of product is if many people at Valve would say that they wanted to do it and have a reasonable explanation for it.
