Half-Life 2: Episode Two to be Longer (Too) [Mar 09, 2007, 11:14 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Just wanted to set a record for "two" homophones in one headline. Anyway,
Valve: Half-Life 2 Episode 2 Will Be Longer on Fringe Drinking (thanks
xXBatmanXx) has word from Valve's Doug Lombardi that Half-Life 2: Episode Two
will offer about eight hours of gameplay, compared with the approximately six
hours of gameplay in episode one, and offers details on planned Steam features
that will enhance its community support. Doug also says that in spite of Episode
2's delayed release, their development cycle for episodic content is getting
shorter:
"Episode 1 took 18 months to complete and Episode 2 will end up being about 13 to 14 months, so we’re trimming it down," he said. "I think we’ll get closer to a year and be on a 12 month cycle. We’ll see how it goes after this trilogy is done."
Considering I only paid about $10 for it on sale the week after it was released in the store, I'm OK with episodic content that lasts 6-8 hours each every year or so at that price.
Like some others, I go slow, take my time, and wander around looking for little tricks or better ways of doing things. I feel I get my $$$ worth.
And it's not like they are holding your kid hostage or anything. So it takes a bit longer - who really cares? It's a video game. For those complaining about it, what are you - an ADD 8 year old?
