S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
In my case I guess it would be The Darkness 3 because of THAT cliffhanger. But I do not see too many people waiting for Ubisoft games right now...
DAAAAAAMNNN... Another one... Gonna check if Lost Alpha Director´s Cut was released already...

At this point I think I'd rather have a half-life 2 + episode 1+2 remake.
The leaked / expected (can't even remember) original script with the story moving to take place on a snowy alien planet did nothing for me, my love for hl2 and ep. 2 is tied to their somewhat mundane locations, I don't care for a more exotic setting.

Yeah well not too many people expecting much from Valve anymore either.

Like others have said, it's gonna be on VR if it's coming.
The Vive is amazing but they might be waiting until Gen 2 of the Vive before they start making it. Or they already started using Gen 1 hardware but I think that's unlikely because VR tech is advancing too quickly. Which might be why they're going to sit on it for a while longer....

I don't even expect to see another single player game from Valve for a long time. At this point it's best to give up on HL3 and maybe hope for a info dump that'll give fans some sort of closure.

The miracle never happen.
There might have been a time, but that bus has long since left the station. Focusing on Steam, CSGO, and Dota makes them more money than a Half-life 3 ever would. A HL3 would be a passion project, and I can't imagine that there's too many people interested at Valve. There are more interesting pursuits, such as VR, to work on than finishing a single player FPS campaign.
Never say never, but I wouldn't expect to see HL3.

I'd be in day one for a single player/co-op game with the TF2 cast.

It's never going to come out. Valve is done making single player games.

I can only think of the definitive Pokémon MMO with VR?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 is GOING TO HAPPEN
I KNOW!GSC GAMEWORLD is back, they released COSSACKS 3 and said they will be working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 next. SO HYPED.
I don't usually write like this, but, when it comes to S.T.A.L.K.E.R I just can't control myself.

It's dead.
Very sad but this is the truth. I'm currently replaying the Orange Box and Portal 2...and I can't believe they just didn't want to continue these series.
A new Monkey Island adventure maybe.

I'm not sure this is the right assessment. id released far fewer games between Doom 3 and Doom 2016 (11.5 years) than Valve has between Episode 2 and today (9 years). People gotta stop acting like Valve fell off the face of the development Earth after Episode 2, or Portal 2, or wherever people decide to move their goal post.
As for Doom 4, I think most of the pre release ire for it came from the various leaks indicating it would be some character driven Call of Duty singleplayer like affair. Everybody is glad they eventually scrapped that. RAGE had a lot of dubious decisions, but everybody at least agreed the controls were super responsive and shooting things felt good so we knew going in they could still do that much.

I have not used cocaine
What if it's hidden inside an ARG like they did with Portal 2 and we just haven't unlocked it yet?!
At this point I think I'd rather have another Sam & Max.
Doesn't even have to be a game, just anything.
Even a new post on Steve's blog would be fine.

I feel like at this point they're just not making it on purpose just to troll people or something.

The same thoughts get trotted out every time this comes up but it's still just saddening that a company who used to have so much verve for innovation and creating incredible games have decided to move entirely into hardware while the money comes in from eSports/Steam instead of being inspired to actually tell stories and create beautiful, inspirational games that people can enjoy.

I'm not sure I remember much of the story today. This or my mind chose the safest path and avoid the pain of waiting.
Deep thought for a saturday.

After The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3, and final FAntasy 7 remake were revealed in the same conference, it became a matter of when and not if Half life 3 would arrive

look at this jabroni talking in the past tense
More than just GAF would melt down. I'm pretty sure my facebook feed would explode.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I really want this to happen. The internet would melt down like we've never seen before.

I really want Half Life 3, but Titanfall 2 is scratching a lot of the same itches for me surprisingly.

Funny how posts like this go basically unchallenged. the source engine is an incredible piece of tech that honestly never had it's full potential explored. If it wasn't for source engine we would have never had portal, considering one of the most revolutionary games of all time. Portal itself probably would have never saw it's full potential without the conceptual genius of valve behind it from the beginning to the end of it's production. Same with left 4 dead. This should be obvious when you consider followups from creators of both portal and left 4 dead have seen very underwhelming response. Valve still has the magic they always had and if someone can't see what a potential hit valve has with a new half life game then it's probably due to their own lack of imagination, not any fault of Valve itself.
