Gabe Newell: Three "Big Announcements" From Valve in Next Year

[Rad Party God]

Given how things at Valve are winding up lately, I would go for:

1 - Valve's DoTA.
2 - Episode 3 (the hope dies at the last moment (AKA, until it's oficially cancelled))
3 - A PS3 version of L4D, maybe both L4D's and the integration of Steamworks on them.

Considering the amount of beta stuff that's been going into Day of Defeat and Counter Strike of late, I'd expect one of those surprises to involve those two.

Does anyone else think that Gabe Newell secretly took a degree in trolling at some point?

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

Remake if original Half Life done in episodes. Episodes 1 and 2 confirmed.

3 surprises.

Makes sense to me.

VALVEDOTA
HL3
Counter-Strike 2(completley new CS, new engine etc)

Calling it now.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABE!!

1: L4D: 3 Before christmas
2: HL3: Out Oct11
3: Valve going out of buisness Sep11

 

[Outlaw Torn]

My fingers are crossed for the Fairy RPG.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I think we can rule out Episode 3....it's gonna be Half Life 3, TF.....3? No probably not, maybe a new IP?

1. Gabe will become a Vegan
2. The bacon saved from this will feed a whole village in some Third World hellhole for a couple of years.
3. His superpower will be like the Blob's, oh wait!

SPOILER ALERT

It's not Episode 3

 

[Bigsmith]

Portal 3, l4d3 and l4d3.5

 

[Canadian Briton]

Episode 3, Portal 3 and Left 4 dead 3
Just what I think it will be.

 

[TheBoulder]

Yeah,
Gabe:"We hope to release Episode 3 in the fall of 2021."
Come on Valve, cut the shit, we want Half-Life, screw L4D and Portal(I do like these games though).

 

[Pandora92]

1. Steam for Linux

They already said they're not doing that. In spite of the evidence we've seen that they are.

Actually, that's probably one of them. Good guess.

P.S. Thanks

Yeah I know, I was disappointed when I read the article about it being cancelled, but hopefully it was just Valve's policy of trying to be misleading about things (aka: "We hate the PS3").

 

[Flamezdudes]

I will eat my own hat if Episode 3 is actually coming. Luckily i don't have a hat. I really don't want any L4D, seriously.

 

[ultratog1028]

Not release episode 3.
Black Mesa for 360 and Ps3?
Full version of TF2 for 360 and Ps3?

 

[Legendsmith]

Black Mesa for 360 and Ps3?

Nope, Black Mesa is not a valve game, it's a mod by independent modders.

 

[2fish]

Valve Kart! You get to choose a character from any valve game and there are upgrades of the track like portal guns, spy cloaks, and hats that give you powers for a set amount of time!

Oh...wait that's my personal dream....

I am not sure Portal 2 counts as a surprise, they told us about it. Maybe a RTS game?

Remake if original Half Life done in episodes. Episodes 1 and 2 confirmed.
