Half-Life 3 Trolling?

[Dec 02, 2011, 11:38 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A photo posted on Twitter by Uber Entertainment's Chandana Ekanayake shows a t-shirt with a Half-Life 3 logo, saying: "All I'm saying is I saw this at a local game developer event worn by a Valve employee." Whether this is significant, or just trolling is not clear yet. The two hash tags he uses for this are #HalfLife3 and #ValveTrolling. Thanks Computer and Video Games.

Glossing over the rest appears to be the same ol' broken record stuff so insert the usual responses there I've gone over valve's positives before too. They tend to make overall great games with lots of potential that tend to need a bit of polish to be awesome. Such as L4D introducing the lobby system that took about 6 months to be reasonably playable. Didn't stop the game itself from being loads of fun though. Similarly as a game and platform company they tend to be overall great for customers, but with a little time and attention they could be awesome for customers. Because of steam, they've single handedly done more for PC gaming and indie companies than any other company since steam came out (and possibly period). Doesn't mean they don't have stuff to improve (both as game developers and platform developers). And the steam stuff to improve would be absurdly easy and absurdly cheap in terms of resources (aka time) to do. Its the kinda stuff that any good UI specialist should be able to point out and do. The only reason that comes to mind for me for them not doing simple things like that is that they do NOT have a good UI specialist. Instead they have great generalists who just aren't interested enough in the "boring" UI stuff. This comment was edited on Dec 5, 2011, 18:01.
