The wait for Half-Life 3 is longer.
I think a game has to actually release to break this record. And in the article, Purchese points out that the current record holder is Duke Nukem Forever, while Beyond Good & Evil 2 might break the record if it ever actually comes out.
What was the wait for Diakantana?
Announced in 1997, released in 2000. Might’ve seemed like a lot at the time, but barely a footnote by today’s standards.
yea, and be announced
The wait is nothing, though I guess the definition of “active development”, publicly confirmed development etc… To my knowledge HL3 has been in some form of development since, HL2, but to my knowledge there’s only been “leaks” rather than any official confirmation, and the joke teaser as valve goes to game event after game event without making announcements.
Rockstar has repeatedly reminded us that GTA6 is in active development. Valve hasn’t even mentioned HL3 in a very long time, I think it’s safe to conclude it’s dead and has been dead for a while now.
Tbf, I dont think they’ve ever explicitly mentioned it being in development – unless you technically mean Episode 3
Anything with a 3 in the title from Valve would cause waves at this point, doesn’t matter what the words prior are.
One more year and it rivals Duke Nukem Forever.
I cant imagine that game being allowed today. Maybe if they replaced the male hero with a young girl hero it would be accepted.
Can I ask, what are your thoughts on 1984?
My username is inspired by the movie 1984. I think we live more in a world similar to Brave New World though, but it has some things from 1984 built in. Like controlling what is seen by the masses as truth and making people self-censor their thoughts, those things I see strongly in todays society, and they are from 1984.
Holy shit, not a single word about the abusive (illegal?) layoffs and the union busting in this article. Not even in the other article linked in the first paragraph! Shame!
I suppose they wrote an article dedicated to the news at some point (?) but this should be repeated over and over, hammered to the point of damaging their image.

laughs in Duke Nukem
Skyrim?
The record is for time from announcement to release. ES6 was announced 7 years ago, so we’re getting there but not quite. It might still break the record by the time it comes out…
And yet it still probably won’t release on PC simultaneously with consoles.
Play a different series then
How does it compare to all the early access games that end up strung along for a decade+ and not officially released?
At least in that case, the devs have presented playable content. I don’t think I would count that if I was trying to determine the record.
laughs in Elder Scrolls
I’ll have to remember to ask my grandchildren when they inherit my copy of Star Citizen in time for release (I don’t have children).
And if you did, they wouldn’t be able to inherit your digital licence.

GTA is a console selling machine and thats why it was delayed to coincide with the console releases.
