Half-Life 3 confirmed!
Still waiting for Half-Life 2? Think how long you'll be waiting until Half-Life 3 then, which has officially been confirmed.
Well, it was inevitable really. Anyone who thought Valve would sit contented upon their stacks of cash after releasing Half-Life 2 must have the business sense of Nick Leeson. In an interview with Swedish magazine Gamereactor, Valve CEO Gabe Newell admitted that he had already begun planning a third Half-Life title which may well feature HL2's Alyx as a playable character. Newell also stated that Half-Life 3 would focus more on the reasons behind the alien attacks, rather than the attacks themselves.
Newell will no doubt be disgruntled that Gamereactor have broken their non-disclosure agreement and gone public on Half-Life 3, especially seeing as Valve are going hell for leather to get number 2 on the shelves this year - the last thing they need is for people to look too far over the horizon. Gabe's been a busy boy on the interview circuit recently, claiming that $40m had already been spent on Half-Life 2 and that the game is mere 'months' away from release.
Newell also elaborated on the company's own Steam distribution service, which will allow paying customers to download Half-Life 2 upon release (even slightly earlier), and will upgrade your version of the game automatically whenever new hardware is detected. It's all sounding very swish, but the only words we want to hear out of Newell's mouth at the moment are the game's final UK release date (oh, how silly that September 30th 2003 date must look now).
Still, Half-Life 2 will be on show at E3 in but a few short weeks, and you can count on a wealth of new information being released from the expo floor, although we're guessing Half-Life 3 won't be too high on the agenda.

At the rate it's all going at, Age of Empires III: The Age of Disocvery may will come out first. But if that's delayed as well, I won't be happy, seeing that I already have it on preorder...

Half-Life 3 was already confirmed not long after the announcement of Half-Life 2, which isn't surprising really as Valve had supposedly been developing HL2 ever since the release of the original back in 98.
HL2 if I've read correctly, could now have been delayed until September, so anyone with their fingers crossed for a summer release should prepare to be dissapointed.

If you made a new topic with this message then why did you post the exact same message in the WLT?
When hell freezes over or when Donald Trump gets a decent haircut. Even then those two events will probably happen before HL2 shows it's face finally
