There is approximately 0 chance that HL3 will be able to live up to the unrealistic and impossibly high expectations set by the public.

People should probably not have expectations for a thing that doesn't exist.

 

[EagleBurnn]

Half Life is a standard great series. I hold it in the same quality as Bioshock, Halo: CE, Quake, and Goldeneye. That said, I'm looking forward to HL3, but it's not world ending if it doesn't come.

I think this was around the same time period as Goldfarb's tweet:

I would think if he's talking about the VR contact lenses (that may or may not be the imagination of Mr. Economist Guy), Abrash would be involved with the hands on. The fact he was occupied at the time could lend evidence to it being something else.

Really, they have so much stuff it's impossible to truly speculate. The controller or Source 2.0 (ideally the controller showing off Source 2.0) is probably the most likely, though, given the venue.

Valve could show nothing and people would get excited, nothing to see here.

Pretty much this.

In GDC context, probably Source 2.

 

[ChosenPredator]

Shenmue 3 and Half Life 3 news on the same day? Is this real life?

shenmue 3 news where?

 

[dave is ok]

They probably showed Techies

 

[The Librarian]

HL3 would be one of the greatest disappointments in the history of gaming. And not because HL2 was not great either.

You have horrible taste.

 

[cpp_is_king]

You have horrible taste.

I don't know whether you're saying that HL2 was horrible or whether you didn't correctly interpret my post.

 

[Wthermans]

I didn't realize locust9 left DICE.

Horrible taste!

Dave Oshry, one of the people who saw what this "Valve thing" is at GDC, tweeted the following:

In light of recent rumors and speculation, later today I will make an official statement about what I saw yesterday with Valve at GDC.

I would have said something sooner, but I need time to prepare said statement and have been quite busy. Stay tuned.

I'm guessing, yeah, something to do with Source 2?

Also, added it to the OP. =)

 

[Rubius]

I can imagine Valve saying "We are currently developing a new OS made in Trinary... so you know what that mean right?!!!? 0,1,2."

Well I'm hyped. Gotta be something good if he's taking the time to prepare a statement.

 

[cpp_is_king]

That's not what I meant/said But I agree my wording was confusing. I think HL2 was great, and HL3 will be a disappointment specifically because of how good HL2 was and how far technology has come, the bar is set too high by the players either intentionally or unintentionally, and no game Valve can ever dream of producing will be able to live up to gamers' expectations.

Wrong. HL3 will unleash a portal storm upon its release where everyone who is a Half-Life fan will be sucked into it to properly experience the awesome.

 

[ShogunX]

Still hoping for Left 4 Dead 3 to appear at the next E3.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Put me in the camp expecting Source Engine 2.0

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

There's no chance it was Half Life 3. It was probably some experimental wearable pc bullcrap that we won't see for 5 years.

 

[vagabondarts]

Oh my....

itshappening.gif

I'm genuinely excited!!!! I hope it is what we have been expecting for a long time...

New Source engine

 

[King_Moc]

So, Oculus Rift stuff? Would be nice if they convert all Valve games to work with it.

 

[Raiden]

Why do people still care about Half-Life 3? It's just a potential sequel to a game that's not even great.

It's been so long since Half Life 2 that people forgot how it was.


pretty awesome i might remind you.

 

[Lotto]

Trying to limit my hype here. Source 2 would be a pleasant surprise.

Spoiler

oh gods i hope it's source 2

 

[-SD-]

I think that Valve showed a Source 2 tech demo using Half-Life 3 assets.

 

[angular graphics]

Whatever it is we are going to learn more about it today: https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/317688480996147200

In light of recent rumors and speculation, later today I will make an official statement about what I saw yesterday with Valve at GDC.

Meeting @EvolveTom for lunch to discuss my statement re: Valve. Also, we're hungry.

[NoirVisage]

GoldSrc engine demoed for "Project Quiver".

Bow and arrow in Half life 3 CONFIRMED.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Clearly, it's Shenmue 3 on the steambox.

 

[Taco_Human]

Weren't we promised "something with a 3" in the title? Portal, L4D, and Half life...... I really hope it's Left 4 Dead. I'm up for some more multiplayer zombie keeling.

You can't just force those kind of things they have to come naturally

Not that I'm aware of. Do you mean that fake Gaben email someone created ages ago?

 

[kami_sama]

They are the ones that are making the remake of Rise of the Triad, right?

 

[epmode]

Right. These things, they take time.

 

[angular graphics]

Yes. So maybe something Steam/SteamBox related.

 

[grandjedi6]

I love the 3 hour time difference between the "preparing his official statement" and the actual official statement. Great troll.

That's gaming journalism for ya.

 

[Kuroyume]

Played through Half-Life, H-L2, and the episodes for the first time last year. Had a great time (except with the first one). I feel for those waiting after that cliffhanger in EP2. lol

 

[Taco_Human]

Fake? Awwww. Probably then. Dream ruined. Back to waiting.

 

[Woffls]

Timing is right for Source 2. Engine at GDC, games (Read: HL3) at E3.

Platforms is another question, based on Valve's living room approach.

 

[szaromir]

It would certainly made me excited if Valve dropped Steam DRM.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Still hoping for Left 4 Dead 3 to appear at the next E3.

I will rage if they show another Left 4 Dead before they show the next Half Life installment.

 

[spootime]

Warhammer 40k themed hero for dota.

 

[old manatee]

They probably showed Techies

HL3 is coming before techies.

 

[reddwarf42]

When Half Life 3 appears it marks the end of the world.

 

[Desty]

Oculus Rift support? Show us something Valve!

 

[Phyrexi]

shenmue 3 news where?
