Funny thing I remember seeing a joke video where gaben announced ricochet 2 on youtube.

Eh, Half Life 3 is just a meme at this point. It's impossible to make it and have players feel satisfied because they will expect the new coming of Gaming Jesus.

Someone actually did this: https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Gaben/comments/5olhj4/hi_im_gabe_newell_ama/dck73lt/

I'm pretty sure I heard that questions about Half-Life 3 are strictly forbidden at the AMA.

What about Half-Life 3?

I can see the new things you're trying art wise and I like it.

They're too happy and lazy getting rich from selling other people's games on Steam. They're not going to bother doing anything requiring more effort than more random shitty hats.

Love Angie's expression in this

I would really like if they ported the Half-Life:Decay game over. It's the only expansion that I haven't played... :(

I heard that we'll never see HL3. I don't know is it truth or not, but one Valve employer said that there were a lot of prototypes of HL3 but no one was accepted. Valve just don't know how to do HL3 becouse it's overhyped and if they'll fail it'll be a disaster for their reputation.

@Velox: Nothing prevents they to have started it again.

It was already confirmed in an anonymous interview with a valve employee that hl3 straight up doesn't exist. Its been started up as a project a few times, but never got off the ground.

Oh dear lord, I still sometimes boot up ricochet and play it with my friends.

That game is so much fun.

Wow. I always thought Ricochet was a fan made mod.

Wait, Valve was making videogames?

Let's face it, HL3 is dead. Gabe just afraid of admitting that they stopped caring about it long ago.

The only Ricochet I know is the arkanoid series by Reflexive. The game linked in the rant is news to me. :-/

Yas! Ricochet had such interesting mechanics...and the people that could be abuse those mechanics were unreal.

I agree with what you said about HL3. just wondering how many of the young gamers even know what the whole HL3 thing is about. Also https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time

how dare you talk shit about hl3 !
