Valve surprise isn't Episode 3

Linky.

Didn't see this posted yet.

But anyway, looks like a new IP?

I'm not interested in HL really, but I do like what I've played from Valve.

so it looks win/win as long as you haven't been dwelling on Episode 3/Halflife 3.

Good, would like to see them do something that doesn't involve guns though.

so its either a new ip or cs2 im guessing

That doesn't rule out Half Life 3, but knowing Valve Ikind of doubt. Hell, even if it is Half Life 3, that'd only mean 4 more years of waiting. Hmmmm, maybe Team Fortress 3?

Maybe it's Half-Life 3 or it could be something on a new engine... that would be nice.

I suppose it could be a new engine.

Source is like 7 years of age. possibility.

Valve: Master trolls. :P

They will not disappoint us.

It seems this is the boat valve got on when they announce EPISODIC content.

Just stop with the episodes already. They are released so far apart they are pointless. Just give us HL3 and a new source engine already.

A great little quote from that

"On the bright side, PC gamers will probably have a damn good year when both Episode 3 and Diablo III release in 2014."

I hate surprises :x.

I'm wondering why it would be would hl3 though? didn't last update said it was going to be pc exclusive? wouldn't it make sense to really it on the xbox 360(no I'm not going to get it on the 360 even it came out for it).

Hmm...

I thought Valve once said that there wouldnt be a HL3 only Ep3 as a conclusion. dont know if its true though

It would make sense unless it's being released on an entirely new engine, perhaps one that is too much for a console to handle. (Just for the record, I doubt it's HL3, but that would still be awesome)

[QUOTE="mo0ksi"][QUOTE="smokeydabear076"]My thoughts exactly.

smokeydabear076

Don't see why.. Every game even the newest ones like L4D2 has been a hit using a modifed version of the Source Engine.

[QUOTE="smokeydabear076"]

[QUOTE="mo0ksi"] That will leave a lot of already-agitated fans to wait even longer for what should of originally been a conclusion to a storyline. It may be pointless to do it now, but given E2's cliffhanger, people are just tired of waiting.sSubZerOo

I remember Valve saying Ep3 will be bigger and also would take more time to develop, still, this is getting ridiculos, just give us the conclusion, and call it whatever you want Valve, Ep 3 or Half Life 3.

Which basically is everything that Team fortress series was NOT.

[QUOTE="jamejame"]

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"] I would love a TF3 though it could be argued there doesn't have to be a TF3 and TF2 isn't even finished yet.sSubZerOo

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="jamejame"]Meh, TF2 is finished enough. I want a full fledged $50/$60 titles this time around. Loads of maps, new classes and maybe even a map editor. I would be so stoked.

jamejame

TF2 is a remake of a classic.. New classes make no sense when every role is already filled with it.. New maps? New maps are added by Valve and users all the itme for the pc..

There's no denying the fact that TF2 lacked in the map area.

Yeah if you play the crippled console version. But fans fo the game play the pc version..

It had longevity due to it being very fun to play but still... saying that adding more longevity would ruin what a series is is a ridiculous statement.

.. I take it you havn't played the pc then?

No need for TF3 yet imho.

Oh jeeze I hope it's not Left 4 Dead 3.

It's already confirmed to be PC exclusive, so probably not.

I hear yeah, I'm not sure if you're a fan of the series or not but I can't stand it but I highly doubt anyone really wants a L4D3 at the moment.

Half Life 3 would be soo good!!! Is the "surprise" only for PC?

PAL360

Yes.

I wouldn't mind L4D3 or an expansion of some kind. I personally hated L4D2 but loved L4D1, though Half Life 3 would be better.

I guess a new IP.

Hm, I'm looking forward to it. I wasn't disappointed by Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2.

LMD, a L4D mmo.
