10 Video Game Missed Opportunities We're STILL Not Over
8. Half-Life 3 Never Getting Made
Can you believe it's been a whole twelve years since Half-Life 2: Episode 2 was released? That's over a decade without the promised Half-Life 2: Episode 3 and there's absolutely still no sign of the expected Half-Life 3 replacing it.
At this point, Half-Life 3 has became almost mythological. Every single year when big events like E3 roll around, there's a little hope left inside us that lets us dream that maybe, just maybe, it'll finally be announced. Alas, it's never happened and, at this point, it really seems like it's never going to.
You've almost got to imagine that Valve is deeply terrified of making the game, as it would really, really struggle to live up to its own hype.
Then again, we live in a world where Square Enix is actually making a remake of Final Fantasy VII, so anything is possible.
Come on Valve, you know you want to make Half-Life 3 as a next-gen launch title. Somebody distract Gabe Newell and sneak into the secret vault where the only copy of the game is kept under lock and key and release it already.
