Gabe Newell: Three "Big Announcements" From Valve in Next Year
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Is it really so unreasonable to wish that a game that switched to an episodic format- y'know, that style of recent origin that was supposed to herald lower-priced, time-budgeted, more frequently released content- offer a new entry after three years? Must we sink to describing unhappiness at same as "whining"?
I'm reasonably confident that Valve will, in fact, return to its flagship franchise in time, and that when they do so it will be worth the wait. And as I've already said, I'm just as glad that Valve continues to set its own course rather than conform to some marketing wonk's notion of what works best for investor relations.
But, man, I do miss me some crowbar.

1: DotA
2: Proof that they're working on Ep3. Screenshots or maybe a trailer.
3: Left 4 Dead 3
That's how I see it going down. Please don't disappoint me, Valve

The Half-Life remake on the Source engine (Black Mesa.....right?). I know it's not strictly Valve.......but could be an announcement.
1. Steam coming for consoles (Giant fucking news by any standards) after deal with Sony, Microsoft caved and now steam for all on consoles.
2. New game that isn't a fucking sequal. Hopefully something different and totally surprising again.
3. Gabe Newell retires to Mars to be a digital sheep farmer.

I'm gonna guess that they'll:
1. Something something something EP3
2. Something something something else
3. Introduce an entirely new IP, which no one will successfully guess what is.

Guys, remember what valve's last "exiting" announcment was? Portal 2 for the PS3!!!!
I wouldn't get your hopes up...

I really hope they release HL3 before l4d3,infact I hope they release ep3 before l4d3,it's bad enough having more installments of a franchise made in 2008 then your frst game made in 1998,but it'd be even worse to have more Left 4 Dead games in between two Half-Life episodes then there are Half-Life episodes.
It's pretty bad having their multiplayer games be made faster then their singleplayer games(Ok Tf2 did take pretty darn long to make but still),because I stop playing Multiplayer games FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR later then singleplayer games,case in point,I have Tf2 and Mass Efffect 2,games 3 years apart,guess which one I'm still playing?I think Valve realize this and maybe will turn to making sure all their games have Multiplayer?
