It's a start. Are they even working on Portal 3 already? That would imply that the context is that Half Life 3, L4D3 and Portal 3 are games everyone's asking about and he's just dismissed them and that they aren't working on any.

So much for saying they were going to announce something BIG at this year's E3.

Also

I do recall the article stating that he said no games would be announced, but there's nothing in his statement that talked about said games not being developed on.


I have the strangest feeling they will announce something...
It's a good surprise tactic, I guess. But I doubt that feeling.

It has been long enough to ask for L4D3, but not portal 3, no.

They said they weren't announcing Half-Life 3.

They could still announce Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

all cleverness aside, if there's going to be a new Half-Life, it'll be Half-Life 3.

If you think the language in that email is Gabe Newell, then you don't know Gabe Newell.

During development of Episode Three, twists and changes allowed to cancel EP3 and start Half-Life 3 - this is what many fans think. But Valve never confirmed that Episode Three is cancelled and changed into Half-Life 3 (beside HL3 T-Shirts which can be a tease and fake hype). So untill confirmation from Valve, Half-Life 2 Episode Three is still possible.

Gaben himself said that they are done with the episodic model for future content. there's also the fact that he has stated that Episodes 1 and 2 were basically Half-Life 3- Episode 1, etc.

Don't try to reason with BanjoPL, he's obsessed with getting Episode 3, no matter what.

Not really but Episode 3 has much more sense than Half-Life 3. Just look at the ending of Episode Two. How you can fix HL3 into it? But i have my own wish about future of Half-Life saga. Valve would ignore Episodes and make Half-Life 3 as sequel to Half-Life 2 which continues events and ending from HL2 - Many years passed since destruction of Citadel, G-Man awakes Freeman for new task...

Why not continue where Episode 2 left off? It's their goddamn game, after all. Just use the story of Episode 3, make it longer, and call it Half-Life 3.

Because that story was supposed to tell in three episodes. Half-Life 3 can't start where EP2 left because every HL game starts in diffrent set, far in future and in mysterious set (no explanations like begining of HL2). EP2 ending was great to be followed by EP3 but it isn't so good for start of HL3. After news of twists and changes about upcoming HL game i think that Valve will completly suprise us with story.
I don't want to think that thre isn't Half-Life 3. I just want to show you that Half-Life 2 Episode Three isn't oficially cancelled and changed into HL3. All what we know and what was finally confirmed by GabeN is that Valve are working on new Half-Life game.

If they do need to release Episode 3, it would be logical to design it alongside HL3 and release it a few weeks before HL3, to wrap up the story of HL2 and set the stage for the bigger game. It's been far too long for them to do another episode and leave it at that.
