Despite the fact that Valve has yet to make any confirmation about the development of the game, there have been ceaseless reports about “Half-Life 3” online, indicative of how popular and widely anticipated it is.
“Half-Life 2” came out to the gaming consoles back in 2004 so it has been 12 long years of wait for gamers of the “Half-Life” franchise.
The same rumors are also saying that Valve may either come up with a full version of “Half-Life 3” or perhaps a next episodic installment of “Half-Life 2.” After “Half-Life 2” was released, Valve also unveiled two more episodic installments in the next three years, the last of which came out in Christmas of 2007.
Newell has said in an interview last year that the only reason that they would go back and do like a super classic kind of product is when a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said that they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation why they are pushing for it.
He added that if they want to do another “Half-Life” game and they would ignore everything that they have learned in shipping “Portal 2” and also in bringing along all the updates to the multiplayer side, it would seem like a bad choice.
