Half-Life 2: Ep Two slips again
Now for summer 2007.
Half-Life 2: Episode Two is now down for "summer 2007" according to Valve's Doug Lombardi.
Speaking to CVG, the marketing manager said that this was now the target, and obviously meant the same for Team Fortress 2 and Portal.
Those two games will be bundled with Episode Two on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - with the latter two console packages also including Episode One and the original Half-Life 2 game.
You can read more about how production's been going on Episode Two and its friends TF2 and Portal by checking out our Leipzig interview with Valve.

May as well play HL2 on the old xbox now.
Boo. I'd still love it if they just released the HL2, EP1, Portal and TF2 package for the 360 TBH.

Personally, also, waiting more TF2 and Portal than the actual Episode 2.

Gah! This I suspect has everything to do with the deals being done with Microsoft and Sony to bring the games to their consoles and nothing to do with further improving the quality of the PC experience.
Valve would do well to remember that the PC market made them and Steam a success. Serving those fans first should take precendence over chasing the console buck. Are we going to see HL go down the road of Deus Ex and Thief? Ballderdised sequels, dumbed down for console consumption?

Just joking.

No evidence of anyone buying them either.

I really hope it's not implementing the console versions that's holding up the release.

Oh well, it is rather a large package they are constructing there.

Episodic content does not work, its not TV and even in TV they dont shoot the episode, air it and then start writting the script and build the set for the next one.
The so called "episodic content" is nothing but expansion packs but with less content.

I think it's great that each episode utilizes new rendering (and soon, multi-threading) technology. But it's difficult to maintain an interest across the expanses of dead time between installments.

Now, on the other hand, if they miraculously released Portal as a standalone... that really sounds like a fun game.
