Valve: Big Surprise Isn't Episode 3 (Booooo!)

So much for that theory.

Valve: Big Surprise Isn't Episode 3 (Booooo!) : Read more

Finally some news today. Bad news but at least some news.

I still wanted portal 2

 

[pocketdrummer]

ARRRGHHH!!! You can't claim to change the way we game with episodic content and just stop after two episodes. Maybe it's gone the "Firefly/Serenity" route and they're just going to release a full fledged Half-Life 3. OR, maybe it's Valve's first mmo (though I doubt it).

Either way, I'm sure we won't be disappointed by what we receive, rather what we didn't receive (HL2:EP3).

 

[insider3]

I don't think anyone cares about the June 14th mystery now that we all know it's not going to be Episode 3.

 

[restatement3dofted]

That doesn't seem all that surprising. The email cancelling things still referred to an E3 Portal 2 surprise: "If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise," which seems to suggest that the surprise is still related to Portal 2 in some way. But I suppose we'll find out soon, won't we?

Valve sure is taking their sweet time in episode 3: ARCTIC WARS

 

[toxxel]

Portal 2 is still coming out, they said they won't be showing it at E3. I'd bet HL3 new engine opening the door for new era of releases.

 

[stevesauce]

Lol. "Dark side". I'd shift there, too, if that's where all the money was at.

And practically everyone knew that there is now Ep. 3.

HL3 > HL2:EP3 ...!

 

[Pyroflea]

I was hoping for another Half-Life installment. Hopefully they don't disappoint.

 

[anthropophaginian]

At least he told sent an email out essentially confirming it wasn't L4D3. Not that it would be terrible, but I'm more into their single player games.

Portal 2 is Episode 3

Probably the official announcement of the Half Life movie. Joss Whedon made a facebook post about being in talks to direct.

 

[roboduck]

I thought it was a hoax. Releasing something like that just isn't Valve's style. I was still hoping for Ep.3 before I die.... Brand new game maybe?

 

[rambo117]

I really wish it was Portal 2.. =[

..sigh..

 

[djcoolmasterx]

L4D3

Its obviously Valve's DOTA. They hired a DOTA creator like 2 years ago and he said that they would be making an announcement soon two or so months back

i swear to god if it is lfd3...

 

[mchawk]

To bad they dropped the ball with Half-Life...

It was hot in 2004 and now is chilly cold...

 

[cbrei10213]

I could see it being Half-Life 3 along with a new engine. leading to TF 3 and L4D3

 

[nforce4max]

FFS!

Damnit Valve! Ware in hell is our Episode 3??????

[polly the parrot]

The Episode 3 is a lie.

 

[HansVonOhain]

Maybe they are working on Portal 3 just so they can released it before December 2012.

I hope it is a new engine, and it would make sense with their shift to Mac and (hopefully) Linux. New Engine for OpenGL!
