Half-Life 3 confirmed (again).

Right, SSJ, they have specifically said that HL2: Episodes 1/2/3 are "in essence" Half Life 3, but they are now confirming that HL3 is technically and absolutely in development.

If you want to call that HL4, feel free, but that won't be the name of the game, and I don't see people jumping to insist that GTA4 is actually GTA8.
