There really isn't anything new to speculate on at this point. You could write an entire novel on Half Life 3 speculation, and all of it would come to naught with one word from Gaben. All we can do is wait for an announcement. That's discouraging, I know, since that is what many have been...
I'm going to be so pissed if they only talk about Dota 2. I get that it's popular, but I wish that Valve would talk about MORE than just that.
What gives you that idea? Valve still has a large team devoted exclusively to game development. It's not like Valve works on either hardware or...
Same with me. I was one of the extremely goofy kids who didn't play online multiplayer for Halo 2 until 2 years after it came out. I played split screen with my cousins every weekend, but that was it. The same goes for JK. I played duels with my friends, but never online.
I bet Valve will want whatever announcement they have planned to be a huge event that captures everyone's attention. I doubt they'd want to compete with all the other game companies for attention in E3. Not until they actually have something to show off.
I've never "boycotted" a game. Either you buy a game, or you do not. Most people who claim to "boycott" games either bought the game already or will eventually buy the game anyway.
You know, this reminds me an awful lot of my time spent on the Bethesda forums between late 2008 and late 2010 (because that was where I spent all of my time during those years). People grasp at straws when there are very few or none to grasp at, people despair with the lack of information and...
These articles are nice and everything, but until I see what they're actually working on, I won't be able to choose whether or not to believe that Valve is as adaptive to the next generation as they say they are.
Well, seeing that my brain entered into sleep mode waiting for an announcement, the sudden flurry of activity would probably cause it to overheat and shutdown, killing me instantly.
In my opinion, this is unfortunate news. It's too bad that we're going to get a third L4D before we get another Half-Life. I wonder why Left 4 Dead was decided to be a higher priority. It's not like HL fans have been tearing their hair out for the past 5 years or anything like that. /sarcasm :(...
