Just to complete Salsa's misery.
I dont know about this. I personally thing some kind of "WINK" would get out
then again that's just me based on the fuckin myth HL3 became at this point
I mean if it was indeed this kinda super top secret HL3-level closed door stuff this guy wouldnt even be saying what he's saying here

Is happening sooner than ever at least. Valve will show something because the new wave of consoles is among us.

Source was positively mindblowing when it was first revealed, I expect the same from Source 2 along with full scalability to less powerfull hardware.
Hell no, it'll look incredible. They've had an army building this engine.

I hate Sequels every year... but i hate it more when information for one sequel comes up every month for six years.

CliffyB and some other people saw the Ground Zeroes demo over a month before Kojima presented it to the public at the Japanese MGS anniversary event. This is not unusual. I'm sorry if you think that people who see cool things before you are obliged to mention exactly what they saw instead of just teasing it.
What? That doesn't make any sense.
When Half Life 2 was released it looked absolutely awesome and yet still ran really well on everything. There's no reason for Valve's next gen engine to look like crap.
That wouldn't be that bad...
Possibly, behind closed doors for devs only as a "tech demo" of sorts?
Hey, if something as big as BF4 can be revealed there, anything's possible.
It isn't bad, have new characters for each class along with the old ones, gets some new classes.
I would play it.
no reason to get like that about it :/ im just saying that Half Life 3 grew to a point where I personally find it hard to believe nothing would leak out or be a bit more direct at pointing towards it. Im not necesarelly suggesting people are straight up unprofessional.
The only way actual details would leak out is if someone is being really unprofessional about being shown something in good faith though! I'm not being a dick, I'm just saying that's the reality of the situation. As it is, people are already teasing they saw something cool. That's probably the most they can say at this point, regardless of what it is.
Even when things have leaked, the industry has done a good job of minimizing it I think. The Last Guardian was shown to the press at GDC the year before it was announced, and while it did leak, almost no one seemed to know about it, let alone the exacting details of the trailer. In fact, we even had someone post a thread about it here, and it was completely deleted.
Guess you're right. It all boils down to the fact that the allegedly first showing of HL3 this way feels underwhelming given the state of that game.
so yeah I just dont think it happened

I'm guessing this is different from the meeting in the original article.

LMAO at the the comment on that tweet.
As for Valve, I have a pretty good idea of what they weren't showing.
Snark aside, they're not likely to be showing the eagerly awaited new entry in their flagship FPS to a lead designer for one of their main competitors, are they? I don't think it's Source 2 for the same reason. This is something they'll be wanting other devs to use and give them money for (which admittedly is the case with Source 2 but not for a company like DICE).
Because it ended on a goddamn cliffhanger.

The industry isn't close to that petty. In fact, Valve and Bungie have had each other visit their studios a few times, they're the two biggest independent FPS design studios in the world.

?
So it's Source 2.0 running on Oculus Rift then?

Bunch of amateurs, no wonder so many studios are closing with all this pinko anti-capitalist philosophy running rife through the industry
I still think it's likely to be hardware or software that other devs are either going to license or support: controller, VR, steambox etc... Just seems more like the thing Valve would bring to GDC than a lone game. Maybe it was VR HL3 running on Steambox controlled with a biometric keyboard + Kinectmote combo.
To be serious, I would be surprised if it was 'Half-Life 3' as such. But if they're going to show Source 2 to people, I would imagine it'll be within a tech demo that looks like a game, and as HL3 is probably the closest to shipping of any Source 2 games they have, asset wise, it's an obvious candidate for the basis of a tech demo.Bunch of amateurs, no wonder so many studios are closing with all this pinko anti-capitalist philosophy running rife through the industry

If you see a bunch of creates and a floating crowbar in a dark pretty room, you'd think you've seen HL3.

Oh, that guy in the OP is from DICE? Then it has to be something hardware related, I don't see why DICE would be interested in another developer's engine or game. They would be interested in hardware though.
