Half-Life and Half-Life 2 were both genre-defining first-person shooters. Second, I know that this isn't an official Valve document by any means, but it does help illustrate why Half-Life 2: Episode 3 doesn't exist yet. It's too busy making card games and mountains of cash via its digital distribution platform Steam.įirst of all, I am a huge Half-Life nerd and my pessimistic outlook is that this is probably the closest thing we'll get to closure on these games, so that's nice. Not that it matters because at the moment we have no reason to believe Valve is working on any Half-Life games. However, Laidlaw also makes it clear that this was written to leave the door open for a Half-Life 3 in which Alyx is the main character, which is a cool idea. The way Laidlaw lays it out, it seems like Gordon and Alyx don't reunite, which is sad because they would have been such a cute couple. There are more details in the full version, which is worth a read. The double twist? The Vortigaunts, the series' friendly alien species, come to save Gordon.Īnd that's that.
"Come along with me now, we've places to do and things to be," he says while he leaves Gordon behind to die. The twist? This time the G-Man takes Alyx this time. This is the suit that follows Gordon throughout the games, always out of reach, and who plucks him out of danger at the end of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, putting him on ice until he's useful again. That's when Half-Life's mysterious G-Man shows up. Anyway, the game reaches a dramatic climax when Gordon and Alyx fight the Combine for control of the ship as it shifts in time and space, showing them flashes of the Seven Hour War where the humans lost control of Earth to the Combine, the present chaos in Antarctica, and an unknown location from which the Combine is preparing to launch another massive attack on Earth or another planet.Įventually Alyx and Gordon gain control of the ship and decide to self destruct it at the Combine staging area, killing themselves in the process but perhaps stopping the Combine as well.
