[Fresh Face]

Valve can now officially count to 3.

 

[inm8num2]

It was inevitable.

 

[honeymustardn]

Why Valve have groups for Wow, Starcraft, CoH...?

Probably just community groups for those who play the game during lunch or whatever.

 

[ekim]

Why is Valve's JIRA on the web for everyone to see?

It was some time ago but they closed it down. But some smart guy over there shared a filter list and thus the google user agent (I guess) was able to index the "manage filter" page where you can search for owners of lists and which includes a link to the user picker...

Everything else is behind a login.

[happening intensifies]

Any more happening and we're gonna end up Shyamalan'd.

 

[Cyberquake]

So this is why GAF went down.

 

[Fresh Face]

Nope, previous thread.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

NOW THAT WAS FAST! It's already down. or the site just getting hammered?

 

[KrAzEd]

I really hope it comes to both Xone and PS4 and that they don't make it a steam box exclusive

 

[Woffls]

They might only be using Jira for tracking defects now, in which case it would make sense that there's only a few devs on it. The software is really flexible so I wouldn't read too much into it.
[edit] Moving so fast! What those guys said ^

Bye GAF See ya later.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Good.

I'm more wondering why they don't just keep it on their local network. It's risky to put these kind of things on the internet, as these leaks have proven.

 

[Sibylus]

It's great to see Adam Foster on that list. He made the absolutely fantastic Half-Life 2 mod Minerva.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/235780/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1

Yup, I'm not surprised in the slightest that he's attached to HL3. He has some brilliant level design insights, a lot of which you can glean from the mod Ionic linked.

There's a storm a-brewin'

Probably on purpose.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I can't handle all this hype!

 

[eso76]

See you on the other side GAF.



Wow, source?

EDIT: Also that cameraman is crazy, I wouldn't get that close to a freight train doing a looping.

It's from one of the best commercials ever made.
Train is CG obviously

[inm8num2]

"Stop, stop. He's already dead..."

Would it be silly of me to think that HL3 might have SteamOS exclusive content? I don't believe it or claim it to be true, obviously, but it occurred to me as a remote possibility.

 

[wildfire]

Well they did it twice, then made TF2, Portal 2, Left 4 Dead, and Dota 2.

I think they got this.

Mostly different devs on those projects.

 

[Sentenza]

Am I missing something? Isn't this Jira leak some very old news?
I'm almost sure I read about it weeks ago.

Valve is not going to gimp "Steam" for "SteamOS."

If anything I'd expect Half-Life 3 to be Steam (Windows/Mac/SteamOS/etc) exclusive.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Exciting news.

 

[kharak]

That's make sense.

Edit: I can't access now

Would you please read the OP?

 

[Sentenza]

Would you please read the OP?

I did? And I didn't notice nothing that sounds new compared to the previous leak.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I did? And I didn't notice nothing that sounds new compared to the previous leak.

We had the user picker site some time ago which outed L4D3 but back then there was only the HL3 group but not the HL3-core group. There were only 42 assigned back then - now it's 46.

I didn't say that HL3 would be SteamOS-exclusive.

I pondered the possibility of HL3 having exclusive content if you play on SteamOS. It could be a hat, or it could be an extra weapon.

Operative words: possibility, could

I don't believe it, though, and I made it clear in my post that I'm not presenting this as a likelihood.

 

[Syf]

Hnnng. I can't wait. L4D3 + HL3, Gaben you magnificent human being~<3 ^_^

 

[KiraFA37]

... and it's down.

Did anyone get a shot of the developer list?

Saw Van Buren and a couple of Jeffs. The thing I can confirm is that it didn't list Gabe.

 

[Rorschach]

See you on the other side GAF.

...it's not real. It's a commercial where kids build that loop.

[Chris R]

Late 2015 release here we come!

 

[Sibylus]

The biggest groups for Left 4 Dead 3 and Half-Life 3 were 71 and 46 developers, respectively. If their development is looking anything like Portal 2's development, L4D3 seems like it's bulking up for the final push, with HL3 further out.

 

[Anustart]

Then reality sets in....Half Life 3 to be candy crush saga clone.

 

[Celestial Mortal]

IT'S GABENING GUYS !

Someone paste Gabe's face here:

 

[crazygambit]

Is this what killed GAF for the better part of the afternoon and forced me to actually get some work done?

 

[Cyberquake]

Nope, previous thread.

Same thing.

 

[diggmcbadass]

...it's not real. It's a commercial where kids build that loop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvyupNXK-4A

It's more real than HL3 at this point anyway.

 

[ZedIndyLil]

I hope they're working on it. Just give it a shot, who cares about expectations.

 

[Sentenza]

.

So? Four more developers (apparently) working on the project should be some exciting news?

 

[inm8num2]

I think so. There were a couple posts on reddit with 2000+ points. The traffic must have been insane.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

HL3 core group is new.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Fucking finally!!!!!!!!

Give us a trailer based gaben!!!

 

[BakedYams]

People have to understand why there is a low number of people on a team in Valve, they go by the KABAL system and it promotes very small and integrated groups so the game can come out more polished and everyone has a say in it. TF2 nearly took 10 years, so did HL2 before they came out. Can't remember how many versions of the game they scrapped to come out with the final products. No doubt we might see these games within the next 3-4 years.

 

[TheMan]

half life 3 has almost certainly been in some form of development for a long time - the first 2 games were too successful for this not to happen. kind of non-news until we see some actual fucking screenshots or something like that.

 

[coolasj19]

Sure, I'll jump on the Hype Train. I don't have much to lose.

 

[soul creator]

Why is Valve's JIRA on the web for everyone to see?

Hah, we use JIRA at our company for task/bug tracking as well, and it is possible to access it from offsite. But of course, you normally have to have a valid login to see anything...

 

[Professor Renegade]

Life found a way.

 

[angular graphics]

So? Four more developers (apparently) working on the project should be some exciting news?

Well, some people claimed (incorrectly) that the HL3 group was nothing but an inactive group that existed for years and this proves them false.

Also the HL3 core group didn't exist last time.
