If I am doing the math right it’s 14 years since HL3 was announced.
If I am doing the math right it was also 14 years between the initial announcement of Duke Nukem Forever and it’s release. Guess HL3 is about to become the longest-running vaporware game.
It is only nine years between the release of the second book in The Kingkiller Chronicles and now, despite its author’s claim around the time the first was published that all three were ready to go in quick succession. But it is 27 years since volume 4 of David Gerrold’s War Against The Chtorr.
- lmm 6y agoStill 47 years waiting on The Last Dangerous Visions, if that's the kind of thing that interests you.
- rnhmjoj 6y agoThe tale of Beren and Lúthien was recently published, a century after being written, so you never known.
- Impossible 6y agoHL3 (Half-Life 3) was never officially announced, unless you mean Half-Life 2: Episode 3, which was cancelled a while back
- Trasmatta 6y agoEpisode 3 was never even officially cancelled I believe. Valve just stopped talking about it, stopped answering questions about it, then everyone just started assuming Half-Life 3 was coming instead. Ending Episode 2 in the way that they did, then just letting Episode 3 evaporate was a real slap in the face.

- ehsankia 6y agoMaybe I'm an optimist, but Valve doesn't release games unless they are very happy with it. HL:A was excellent and I don't see why HL3, if it does come out, would be Vaporwave. Valve heavily tests their games internally and if it is not a huge success, they will not go forward with it. Yes, I do realize they did release Artifact, but that suffered more from economic issues, which internal play testing don't really catch.
- akhilcacharya 6y agoIMHO, it's silly to still say HL3 is vaporware. For all intents and purposes, Half Life Alyx is Half Life 3.
