Valve reports that it's now putting the finishing touches on
Half Life 2: Episode 2. To get our juices flowing it's also showing off the concept art below.
On its website Valve reports:
“Right now, we're working hard on putting the final parts of Episode Two together. Early on during development we spent a lot of time working on concept art of key areas of the game, so that everyone on the team could share a vision of what the final game would look like. The three pieces below are some examples of that work. Once the game is released you'll be able to see how these concept pieces were eventually turned into the final product.”
To SPOnG's ears that all sounds very encouraging. After
several delays Valve seems close to settling on a
September release for the PC version of
Episode 2.
Until then, SPOnG will await the day when 'episodic content' becomes something like episodic.
