Gabe Newell, one of the founding fathers of Valve Software, sat down with EuroGamer and granted them an interview. With a few of the other Valve staff at his side, Newell answers questions that deal with the creation of Episode 1, to the next Half-Life 2 episodes, and all the way to the Half-Life movie.
Eurogamer: Can you reveal the names of the places you visit in Episode 2?Newell also makes note that no Half-Life movie is in the works, based on how horrible all of the scripts have been that he's seen. He also takes a little jab against certain, un-named directors who crank out worthless movies before a tax loophole is filled. Sadly, there is no new news about Team Fortress 2, but there will be new tech demos coming out this year according to a statement from Newell. Don't take my word for it though, go read it for youself!
Gabe Newell: Not yet! You'll see a teaser at the end that gives you a sense of what the environments will be like. Later this summer we'll give more details about Episode 2 - it's out by the end of this year, and three is by next year. Episode Two actually started simultaneously with Episode One. Robin Walker's heading up Episode One development, and David Spiros is heading up another team doing Episode Two.
