Here's the escapist article, readLilani said:You don't remember the 4 chan email thing?ohnoitsabear said:No he hasn't. Nobody in Valve has said anything regarding HL3, except dismissing ARG and announcement rumors.Lilani said:Gabe Newell has confirmed that there will be a HL3 annoucement at E3. And I mean really, just use your head a minute.
And then later to be even clearer about what he said in that email, he later said "Something with a three" would be announced at E3. They have said the wild claims of ARG are false (which is pretty obvious with how far-fetched it got), but nobody from Valve has said anything about this being false.
I know that first person shooters are sadly very dominant right now. But not that dominant.The Virgo said:Also, I feel bad for any gamer who hates FPSes. Their game collections must be thin. <:-(
This. So much this.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:Yes. Let's all debate about the hypothetical quality of a game that, for all intents and purposes, does not actually exist in any way, shape, or form. This will obviously be a hugely productive discussion.
Seriously, Escapist. Even for you, this is pretty bad.
I'm sorry, but that's just a bad line of logic there. You think it's okay to come into a thread obviously not meant for you and ruin everyone's day simply because some asshole did the same thing in a thread relevant to you? Seems a tad mean-spirited to me. Vengeful even.LilithSlave said:And hey, the thread asked me if I was worried about Half Life not getting here or being "bad", and I'm not, because I never cared about Half Life to begin with. If Nintendo and Zelda haters can come and do this in Zelda and Nintendo topics, why not a Valve topic.
I was referring to the 4-Chan email to Gabe Newell, which Valve has not said is fake.The Virgo said:Since everyone there is still alive, that means there is no E3 announcement. And if there is, I want to see the link. >:-|
You know, I don't often have problems with the way the Escapist reports things, but this particular article really bothers me. It's so sloppily put together and misrepresented for the sake of having a "shocking" headline anyone who doesn't pay close attention to the actual quotes is going to get the wrong idea.tthor said:Here's the escapist article, read

But you see, it wasn't Chet that said there was no announcement coming. That was the Escapist, specifically the writer Greg Tito. The only thing that Chet said is in the quotes there, and what he said has only to do with the false claims of ARG. Never in his own words did he say there was NO announcement coming soon.In case that wasn't clear, Chetf states for the record that there is no HL3 announcement incoming. "I just want to say this so there is no confusion. This is the community trolling the community nothing more. While it is nice to see people excited about anything HL, I hate seeing people be trolled like this," he said.
