I almost heard Yahtzee smile there.

I see a new stealth IP from Valve coming, sounds EPIC!

 

[phoenix352]

Gordon Freeman is Garrett in,

Thief - The Deus Ex Chronicles.

Spoiler: awesomeness

 

[Ch@Z]

They need to nurf Valve!

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Left 4 Stealth?

I'd play that!

I can't wait to see what they're using him for

 

[Zhukov]

Is anyone else having trouble not drooling at the thought of a stealth game made by Valve?

But only after they finish... that other thing.

 

[SilentCom]

Please be another Thief game in the making.

 

[Kaytastrophe]

nm could a mod delete this please im not sure how I can myself

 

[The Youth Counselor]

I had this dream back when Eidos was in the gutter, that VALVe would buy the rights to Deus Ex and Thief and hire Warren Spector.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Why "steal"? Is it wrong to hire someone who does a good job?

It's just harmless Sensationalism. Don't take nothing by it...

OT: I'm too young to fully appreciate any of Mr Church's work, but I HAVE heard good things. And Valve is great so............oh, enough formalities; EPISODE 3!!

 

[DTWolfwood]

lets hope they put him on the fabled Half-Life 2: Episode 3.

 

[FogHornG36]

VALVe is collecting the best ones little by little.

and then they will freeze them in ice and blow up the world.

 

[Starker]

Please be another Thief game in the making.

Tere is one, already. Thief 4, or as Eidos Montreal calls it -- Thi4f

Anyway, good for Valve. In my mind, one of the best developers around since Troika went under and Black Isle was disbanded.

"Grampa... What was it like in the before-time?"
"Well, sonny, it was a different age. Talented designers were sprinkled throughout the industry. They worked for various studios and publishers. It was simple times. Then along came Valve wreathed in a cloud of steam. They began snatching them up one by one till they owned all the talent in the world."
"...Wow. You mean Lord Newell didn't always rule the world?"

I, for one, welcome our new Valve overlords.

Let me rephrase that. *ahem*

"...Wow. You mean Lord Newell didn't always rule the world? That's horrible!"

Hehe...

OT: I wonder that they are up to at Valve HQ.

 

[C117]

I hope he's there to help Valve put the original Thief-games and System Shock 1&2 on Steam.

 

[L34dP1LL]

The pressure seems to be building up, I think Valve is about to burst with good news.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Somehow I got this idea that Emperor Gabe is hiring the top minds only to cement them and putting them on display in his own fucked up wax museum...

So guess where the Episode 3 crew went

 

[Deverfro]

I suspect that valve could now create a game that was so good, it would be illegal not to play it
