Reasons for Half-Life 3 & Why it’s been Almost A Decade Since it was Promised

Half-Life happens to be among those video game series which has left a deep mark in gamer's childhood. The subject of Half-Life 3 has been the matter of debate for nearly a decade. Half-Life 3 was announced to be launched in 2007 by Christmas time but then it's been nearly a decade we haven't seen on-screen.

Half-Life is a series of first- person shooter video games which shares a single science fiction alternate history. The developer of this signature video game series is Valve Corporation who also happens to the publisher and distributor partly. The first release for Half-Life was on November 19, 1998, and the last release for Half-Life 2 was on October 10, 2007. The launch for Half-Life 3 was mentioned soon after the release of the second series and many gamers are waiting since then for the wonder to occur.

As mentioned in TNH Online, each gamer is now wondering what might have happened to Half-Life 3 and is trying to figure out the reason why Valve never made a game which was actually more anticipated than anything else in the gaming industry. It is also mentioned that many of them think that Valve might have seen as a costly production which could not have return the profit. To make a full-scale game in the current era is bit hard and highly expensive. The cost of production might have been the prime reason for which the game never took off.

It is also been assumed that Valve might have shut down Half-Life 3 because of the arguments and internal disputes which might have affected the release and actions of the company. Apart from these listings, there is a fact which cannot be lightly taken. It is heard that the main game writer Marc Laidlaw has opted retirement from Valve which means Half-Life 3 will have to prepared without the primary source for content and direction and for this particular risky journey Valve might not be ready. In contradiction to this IGN states that Half-Life 3 is not likely to be released rather it is been mentioned that Valve never declared for the release of Half-Life 3.

Half-Life really happens to be one among those game franchises whose latest versions are widely expected. Though it has been a decade of waiting, gamers are still eagerly looking forward to Valve for releasing the latest version Half-Life 3.
