Okay, so let's discuss. When is this going to crash and burn, and how will it happen? Will there be dev infighting? Will Valve do a complete 180 on their business philosophy and C&D the project?

Maybe Valve will hire these guys just like the good old days when they hired from the modding community. Who am I kidding? Valve doesn't make games anymore

No, here's what they'll do (if they don't C&D it): They'll pick up the game and their developers and sell it for 40 dollars on Steam the same way they did with Black Mesa. Fans will riot, accusing the devs of being sellouts the same way they did with Black Mesa's devs, and then Marc Laidlaw will sue because the game uses his idea for the story of Episode 3 and it's likely Valve and the devs won't even bother asking permission from him or even crediting him.

That doesn't answer his question. Why would you ever make something like a fanmade EP3 and not use at least Source 2? You know, so you don't have to recreate/modify shit like the hud, animations, models, etc.?
Besides all those weapon animations look terrible and stiff. I guess they couldn't get people like Mr. Brightside or Hyper to help them probably because neither of them care anymore, like regular people would

Epistle 3 was horribly uninspired, abandoned the plot points that Half-Life 2 was building up to for Half-Life 3, and generally wasn't a very worthy successor to Half-Life 2. So what's sort of the worst case scenario to me is if this team (or the other team) actually do a good job of making an Epistle 3 game, because no matter how good a job they do it's still going to ultimately be a subpar product, and the more effort they put into making that subpar product, well, the more effort that's been wasted.

also the viewmodel animations look like shit, if the pistol was 3 inches closer to his face it would cover up 70% of the screen
this is overly ambitious like bms except they lack the means to do it and it's DOA because it's not on source a.k.a. it'll look and play nothing like half-life and they won't get the original voice actors either. regardless i would like to be surprised and have it actually be good (assuming it'll be released within the next 30 years) but that won't happen

What was that other shitty game that Valve allowed on Steam which was some utterly forgettable Half Life 2 mod… Catch the Freeman or something like that?
I literally forgot about that shit until reading this thread.
I predict it will be just as shitty and just as forgettable. And Valve will call it canon.
People who still unironically consider themselves part of the 'half life community' and think it's the best fucking game ever and support half arsed projects such as this are nothing but laughable.

Valve don't hire, they just dangle carrots in front of gullible but talented idiots and then appropriate their ideas as their own. And that's when they don't just steal wholesale, like how Havoc physics basically saved the Source Engine from being a piece of shit modification of GoldSrc that somehow managed to be even more broken that GoldSrc and missing most of what actually made GoldSrc good.
Valve's entire creative output went sorely into Half-Life 1. They haven't made a single worthwhile thing since that could be genuinely called their own.
857124 No.15376827

Because Source is a broken, buggy, outdated piece of shit that's a pain in the ass to work with. Just look at how much shit the Black Mesa developers went through using it.
As much as I think this project is retarded and will likely fail or else get stretched out for so long that people will lose all interest (kinda like how people stopped giving a fuck about Black Mesa), using Unreal instead of Source was actually a pretty smart call.
On the project itself, the fact that the developers are constantly jumping in to reassure people that everything is going fine and there's no trouble is setting off my bullshit radar. That and the fact that they seem to be pretty keen on attracting Valve's attention to this project.

He's vaguely liberal like most creative types, but his work on Force of Will and Artifact seems genuinely motivated by a love of game design. He's also at odds with the "pro" MTG (((community))), since he made games to be something to be enjoyed, rather than obsessed over.

The fact that Valve hasn't already C&D implies one of three scenarios. Most publishers would have dispatched the legal kikes by now. Nintendo, Take-Two, S-E, and Blizzard especially.
1) Valve does not care about Half-Life anymore and simply allows the project to exist as a means to further present themselves as benevolent game license dictators. In short they make so much money elsewhere, they take a minor encroachment on their IP to fool the goyim on the bigger picture. Valve can afford to do this at this time because they have little competition in the market at this time. Take-Two or Blizzard has to kill a mod or a private server because it directly competes with their primary revenue stream.
2 )The project hasn't reached a level of significance to engage the lawyers to protect their IP and thus have to deal with the bad PR of shutting the project down. Sort of like how Blizzard let private servers encroach on their IP until Nostralis reached a sort of critical mass for them.
3) Valve doesn't fiscally care about Half-Life, but they will allow this mod project to have enough rope to hang itself. Project B actually actually reaches significant progress, they will buy the project out and employ the team to turn the game into HL3 actual. Valve then has a good PR story to float about how they hired a plucky bunch of amateur devs who loved a game so much that they decided to make their own sequel. This is perhaps the savviest scenario for them as they end up risking little until the proof-of-concept is solidified and they will have had to exert zero creativity from their currently creatively bankrupt staff.
Theres also a fourth possibility which is that this project falls apart and fails before it gains any major headway. Or Gaben & friends change policy and send in the lawyers. After which Gaben will run to reddit and do his usually elephant in tap dance shoes PR routine. Collapse is most likely and scenario 3 is most optimistic and unlikely.
