Some speculated that this may have come alongside better support for players with hearing impairments, though nothing about such improvements was stated by Valve.
The fading of their own abilities." Newell has confirmed that Freeman would have been unchanged in the next game with regards to his superficial behavior - he will not talk, and he will remain "an arm and a crowbar." "Right now," said Newell, "making your companions more interesting and compelling seems a more fruitful avenue to explore."Īccording to Gabe Newell, there were also plans in consideration for Episode Three to introduce a deaf character who will interact with Dog and Alyx via sign language (with Alyx knowing sign language from her experience training Dog). When asked what he thinks his aging fan-base fears the most, Newell said, "The death of their children.

Newell said the series had to broaden its "emotional palette." "I feel like we've gotten away from genuinely scaring the player more than I'd like, and it's something we need to think about, in addition to broadening the emotional palette we can draw on." The game will explore the fans' fears. In an interview with Edge, Newell noted that Episode Three would probably see a change to survival horror over the franchise's pure action roots. There was also speculation that Aperture Science, and the Portal franchise as a whole, would have played a major role in the game, due to statements by Gabe Newell that Chell would be important to the Half-Life universe, as well as the appearance of the Borealis in Portal 2. As well, concept art and foreshadowing from Episode Two suggested that the game would have been set far away from City 17, perhaps in a heavily icy climate such as the Arctic (hailing back to the original design concept for Half-Life 2), and that the Borealis would have played some role in the story. Little is known about what the game would have been, save the easy assumption that it would follow the events of Half-Life 2: Episode 2, as well as details gathered from concept art, such as implications that a fight against a Combine Advisor may have been planned at some point. Upon announcement, Episode Three was given a tentative release window of Christmas 2007, however complications and frustrations with the episodic format led Episode Two to release later than planned, and largely uprooted plans for Episode Three. It was known at the time that episodic content for Half-Life 2 was in development, with Gabe Newell stating that he viewed the episodes as being comparable to a third entry in the Half-Life series, however it was not previously known how many entries were planned. Valve originally announced Episode Three in May 2006, shortly before the release of Half-Life 2: Episode One. Although Episode Three was to be the last Valve-developed episodic Half-Life 2 title, senior members of Valve Corporation have confirmed that Episode Three would not have been the end of the Half-Life franchise. Half-Life 2: Episode Three was to be the third episode in the Half-Life 2 story arc, and the final entry in the Half-Life 2 series to follow protagonist Gordon Freeman as he leads a human resistance against the Combine forces.
