Half-Life 2: Episode 3 may not see release until 2010

Half-Life 2: Episode 3 may not see release until 2010
By Andrew Webster | Published: October 14, 2008 - 11:50AM CT

With Half-Life 2: Episode 2 having been released just last year, it's a safe bet that we won't be seeing Gordon Freeman in a new game anytime soon. But just long will we have to wait? Well, according to Doug Lombardi, Valve's VP or marketing, it will be quite a while.

"The next time you play as Gordon will be longer than the distance between Half-Life 2 to Episode One, and Episode One to Episode Two," he told Kikizo. And as for releasing any news about the game, Lombardi teased, "We may at the very end of the year."

Using Lombardi's math, we can estimate that the third Half-Life 2 episode won't be ready until around 2010 (HL2 was released in 2004, while HL2:E2 didn't hit until last year). Valve is a developer that is infamous for it's long development cycles, but like most similar companies, is also renowned for its quality, so the wait shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Let's just hope that Episode 3 reaches the same level of quality that the previous games in the series did.
So much for the cheaper, faster, better that the episodic content was suppose to be. So far it hasn't been cheaper, it hasn't been faster, and I have no idea about better cause I don't play single player, but judging how they seem to be ignoring HL2DM it doesn't seem to be better.

The long time for EP3 would only be justified if it was as much of an upgrade from hl1 to hl2. And if it was at least as long.

That wasn't a surprise for me; I was already expecting this, maybe even longer.

It's Valve. It takes them many years to pull out a game... but they generally do a very good job

And it looks like they updated the Source Engion again with L4D... I'm just hoping for quad core suport. Althought dual core suport is better then nothing...

If that's how long it'll take.. Ep3 better be longer than +-6 hours then, though.

To tell the truth, this, along with what happened to StarCraft 2 and Spore's DRM, proves to me the industry is starting to milk gamers for money...

As a member of the not-an-impatient-dickface community this does not affect me in a negative way at all. I'm sure it will be an enjoyable game as it's predecessors will.

I try not to pay attention to Valve's release dates. I just keep track of things as released or not released. Anything else will suck your soul into the eternal limbo that is valve-time.

Considering Valve has never once disappointed me with a product, I don't care at all.

I'm off to play HL1 for the 90000th time.

That reminds me, it's been almost a month and a half since the last time I beat HL/OP4/BS/HL2/EP1/EP2 over the course of a few days. I'm starting to go into withdrawal.
