Valve Software confirmed Half-Life 2: Episode 2 @ CVG

Vikingod · Feb 21, 2006, 02:32 PM

Valve Software has confirmed with us that Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is already being whipped into shape, as the Half-Life fan base waits with baited breath for the release of Half-Life 2: Episode 1 (previously called Aftermath).

Valve's Robin Walker, designer/engineer on Episode 1, informed us that Episode 2 "has been in development for some time" in an interview that'll be winging its way to you shortly. Although he didn't elaborate further, it sounds as though Episode 2 may appear sooner than we could have hoped. We're definitely keeping trigger fingers crossed on that one, especially as the developer has aimed to offer "between 4 to 6 hours" of gameplay time with Episode 1, according to Walker - shorter, perhaps, than fans might have expected.

Translation: Aftermath will be split in half, called Ep 1 and Ep2, and we'll be charged 2x.

nah, they are sticking to the original plan. Episode one is aftermath, and 2 is something else. They said a couple weeks ago this is what was going to happen. They are listing for $20 now, so I think its a good buy. Its aging tech, so its easy and quick to create. If people don't want it, they won't pay for it. I bet its worth $20.

5 Dollars per hour assuming it's all good and not boring fluff...sounds good to me.

Maybe, I could probably buy some whiskey and have a better time for more time. But then it would be gone after that : (

I remember when they said aftermath was going to be 12 bucks.. guess that was BS.
