Half-Life 2: Episode Two Confirmed [Feb 21, 2006, 12:47 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Valve confirms HL2: Episode 2 on Computer and Video Games offers the news
that Valve is indeed working on another Half-Life 2 episode to follow their
upcoming release. This is actually a no-brainer after the first follow-up was
renamed Episode One, but the story, based on a yet unpublished interview with
Valve's Robin Walker, does shed some light on what these upcoming episodes will
be like:
Valve's Robin Walker, designer/engineer on Episode 1, informed us that Episode 2 "has been in development for some time" in an interview that'll be winging its way to you shortly. Although he didn't elaborate further, it sounds as though Episode 2 may appear sooner than we could have hoped. We're definitely keeping trigger fingers crossed on that one, especially as the developer has aimed to offer "between 4 to 6 hours" of gameplay time with Episode 1, according to Walker - shorter, perhaps, than fans might have expected.
I was hoping that Episode 1 would be out this month or early next. Why is Ep2 in development when the first one isn't even done yet? Silly Valve.
No silly you for not having basic common sense or apparently understanding about the size and structure of development houses like Valve.
Valve is split into development teams working on multiple projects at the same time. Including DaD, CS, HL and other projects. The probably have in excess of 100 employees now.
What makes sense is to use your resources wisely. While ep 1 is being finised work is started on ep 2 getting all the content, textures, map work, scripting going. Later the same will hapen for ep 3 and so on.
The Whales name is Bob.
