So my question is will Half Life 3 be overhyped?

It's already.

Given Valve's track record the game will be good if it ever comes out.

The biggest problem with be the mass of people with impossibly high expectations that no game could possibly meet.

This.

Valve usually does not release crap, but no matter how good it is, it is very unlikely that it could possibly be good enough to meet the hype. That said, if they somehow came up with a mind blowing way idea that completely blows any game before it out of the water, then maybe it could get close.

Heh, the reason it's taking so long is cause Valve's been perfecting their virtual reality tech :P

I believe someone from the CS dev team admitted that source 2, lfd3 and HL3 were in development. I remember that being something on the CSGO announcement page or somewhere.

If what you are saying is what I remember, there was a guy that saw some development on another game, and the images he saw looked like it would be from Half Life 3 to him. He said he wasn't sure about it though, if I remember right.

It was supposedly confirmed I that Half-Life 3 will be open-world and that Gordon and Chell will cross pathes during the game. I do not recall where I heard this information from. But the confirmed thing is that HL3 is "in-development", they're currently waiting on Source Engine 2 before they do anything I think.

I feel like a conversation between two mutes without sign language would be extremely interesting.

I'm not expecting revolutionary gameplay and mechanics. I'm more interested in the story.
I'm sure it will be good, but you can't make everyone happy.

There is a lot of people that are waiting for the game to get out just to say it's crap. You can see it clearly in other comments in this post. People are predisposed to say it's bad, even most of them never played the other ones. It surely has "negative" hype in some way.

It probably won't suck, but people will say it does, just because it's "cool" to say it. I mean, it's happening in this very post.

Valve is all about microtransactions and selling other pepoles games now.Forget about games with 3 in them,they dont make as much money.

Unless it has new technology, or revolutionary gameplay mechanics it will be nothing special. More than likely it will end up being a decent shooter like Spec Ops the line or Metro, and yet everyone will still be disappointed.

why do so many people based how good a game is by how good it will be on if it is revolutionary or not that does not happen often for a reason one is the tech...2 is using the tech to do a game changers

like GTA did for open world they might not have been the first but they put it on the map so to speak

now we are at point in gaming where graphics pretty much have mostly peaked until hardware can start to deliver big leaps again if that is even possible anytime soon

a lot people are let down because they want every game to be a game changer and not how things work

Bioshock when it came out was something new and it was awesome for its time but now when you look back at it it does not seem so great but people compare it to how games are now and that is some years later

Oblivion set the new bar for how good games could look and still have open world and a huge map and have deep immersion but now you look at it and compare it to new tech and the NPC and some game does not seem so stellar

anyhow if there is a Half-Life 3 it may or may not be good,though i would almost think it would continue on the story and it might be a good thing it is taking so long as maybe they are retooling the whole thing and it will be good

GTA series seems to get bigger each time but then again they take 5 or so years to make each new version and they are not afraid to admit they are no hurry and have no plans to make one every couple years

the Exception might have been GTA II+Vice City but they both where so good that did not matter they where a couple years apart

anyhow all i am saying is it will be what is is if it comes and i will compare it to the tech that is around if and when it comes ....i do think it should be a good fps no matter but i could be wrong

I just beat bioshock 1 for the first time a few days ago and I can say I enjoy it way more than Metro Last Light, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, and many others. There are just some games that are very well made and are well liked not for just graphics but the way they tell their story and when you can tie well made combat or highly interactive environments you get a some of the highest rated games (mass effect, portal, half life, bioshock). But yes it will be hard to make a game that will have to top the highest rated games on steam which is half life and half life 2 meaning it has to be absolute perfection which is why they have scrapped it so many times and started over and haven't released it yet.

Just like their other average decent generic games such as Portal 2 and L4D 2 games amirite? Spoiler alert: Its sarcasm. They might not do that many games but honestly I've yet to see a valve game that was generic or just average. Most if not all of their game revolutionized something in their specific genre and were quite unique.

I would be fine if they just put out a comic or animation at this point; and this is coming from a huge Half Life fan. They left the story on a cliffhanger, just finish the damn thing already.

It's overhyped alright, I think HL2 was too but apparently everyone loved that one as much as HL1

They were supposed to finish episode 3... it never came out..... valve seems to get lazy when they supposed to make a 3rd game... for all I know Portal 3, Half life 3 and Left for dead 3 will never see the light of day.... But it will feel weird if halflife 3 continued where Halflife 2 episode 2 left off... and if they ignored the events of Hallife 2 episodes I would be even more disappointed...

For a while now I've been wondering when a AAA game is sold through digital distribution only. The point where someone decides that digital distribution has grabbed enough of the market that someone takes the risk of ditching physical copies.

HL3 might be that game.

I hope its a long game... the other episodes were 4-7 chapters, I hope half life 2 episode 3 (half life 3) will have a lot of chapters. Rumors say HL2 EP3 (HL3) will have freeroaming, Like skyrim, and it might be true cause in HL2 EP2 on the strider mission, you had some kind of freeroaming there, you had just a little freedom
