1. Valve releases Duke Nukem Forever

2. Valve confirms they traded with 3D Realms for HL2EP3

3. Left 10 Dead

Seriously though, here's hoping to Ep3 so they can get Half Life 3 out by 2020.

Cmon they have to show something for Half Life ep 3

For petes sake it looks like Duke Nukem Forever will come out before any new information.

We are now in the strange position where Duke Nukem Forever is likely to come out before Episode 3.

Maybe they've picked up development on Duke Nukem Forever? And plan to release it within the decade.
Not according to Valve Time [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time]

I like how on the first 2 pages (at least, didn't read the other 5), not a single person has suggested that Valve might be releasing a non-sequel game.

If we consider this we could go totally nuts with suggestions...
Well, I've been unable to get to a computer to say it, but that was (admittedly) my second thought.

I'm guessing some high fantasy thing. Or steampunk.

Three things valve won't announce:
1. Gordon can Talk! His first line "Freeman Gordon Freeman"
2. Fuck steam! We hate Money and success!
3.We have jesus as an intern or at least we did before we backstabbed him spy-style!
What vavle may announce:
We are Valve we're rich.....We hate work.....Portal 2 is delayed.

Or zombies.(actually the only really good way to know is to see what valve is doing instead of working.L4d evolved out of a counter-strike mod so who knows?

Valve Announcements for the next 12 months:

1> Portal 2 delayed until 2012
2> Source 2 coming soon
3> Left 4 Dead 3 coming out late 2011

I've given up on HL2:EP3...
this. Although heres hopes to TF3!
Probably not, tf2 is still very popular, and still has tons of new content flowing into it.

I'm excluding the obvious or snarky ones like ep 3, tf3, or l4d3 instead, just a few ideas. They are releasing steam on 360, they are porting all tf2 dlc to 360 and including cross platform play, maybe anouncing a merger with another company (probably not though), or that they are making a game for the wii (god I hope not). I unintentionaly ordered these from most likely to least likely, but its fun to speculate though, right?

People cant read or something ?

Gabe says.. 3 BIG announcements.
BIG means not small ..like.. DOTA2, tf2 patch etc.
And definitely not a new Left for dead.. djeez people seriously need to shut up about them bringing out a new l4d cause that wont happen for atleast another 3 years or 5 even.
They will announce things we know nothing about!
And no it wont be something about Ps3 either.. valve is a PC developer its where their fanbase is at so a announcement for console isnt BIG at all.

First announcement will be at Spiketv VGA... and i think its going to be Half life epi3 or HL3, cause in the first promo video you can see a helicopter flying over mountains / sea ..first thing that came to mind was *borealis* but i doubt it since.. read last thing i said and you will know why.

Other 2 announcements will probably be a new counterstrike that will compete with Call of duty.
Maybe they will release it as a stand alone psn/xbla steam game first and later on add it to the new half life?

Anotehr announcement might be something with minecraft developer.. cause i swear i read somewhere gabe newell had a meeting with the notch months ago.
knowing valve.. they buy idea's from people that came up with crazy shit and perfect it.

..or who knows maybe they are working on a new ricochet game hahaha or whats that game called again :p you never know what kind of wicket shit they could do with the most silly game ever.

Anyway..
Gabe newell said at e3 2010 i thought it was.. we will never announce big surprises at e3 where everyone expects it.
Trust me you wont see shit at next years e3 from them : )
They will announce their games either somewhere you dont expect it..like in a feaking magazine out of no where or with a hidden file in a patch on the PC.
New HL game hidden file might be in portal2 when it comes out.

You have given up on half life 2 epi3... a game they have only been working on for like 2 and half years... if you didnt know dude they put the project to rest for a full year back in 2008 to work on other stuff.
maybe you should read some articles from gabe newell.

3 reasons why they do it.. 1) so that they can figure out what to do next with half life while working on other games
2) So other smaller projects will be developed faster. 3) It isnt fun for a developer working on just one franchise for 10 years straight...take a break and work on another game.
