CVG: Valve has defended its unpredictable roster of releases - claiming that its line-up is, in fact, not quite as random as it often seems.
The studio has become notorious in recent years for surprising fans with irregular releases following Half-Life 2's arrival in 2004
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Half-Life 3 may not be too far away from release, as the game suspected to be the third entry in the series has entered the optimization phase.
That one episode of Billy & Mandy where the very fabric of reality was destroyed when Mandy smiled. That's what'll happen when Valve finally counts to 3.
Is this kinda like when it was supposed to be at the 2024 TGAs?
Half-Life 2 art director and Dishonored designer Viktor Antonov has died aged just 52.
One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.
Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor
Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.
And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.
So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3
Fair enough, Valve. But, here's the big question: where the fuck is Episode 3? Your stance on episodic content has been a farce from the very beginning. Half Life 2 was 6 years ago. You could have had Half Life 3 out by now and been half way working towards part 4 if it were required.
Valve Time is a bitch. Good thing they support their games like no other developer. I'm happy with the amount of support Valve gives TF2, CS:S, and every other one of it's games. Half Life 2 gets updated about every other week, pretty good for a 6 year old game.
Doesn't mean I don't want HL3!!!! Ep. 3 at least... please?
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO EPISODE 3, MAYBE GABE ATE IT FOR BREAKFAST!!!
SERIOUSLY THOUGH IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE EPISODE 2 RELEASED.. SHOULD I START CALLING IT "HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE 3 FOREVER"?
Valve: "We're not schizophrenic"
The first sign of schizophrenia is denial.
I thought I would of seen a lot more fat jokes on here......Strange
