Wow sounds like you have some insider knowledge here
I think he's probably right though...
Big thing for 2015 onwards: shoes. It's going revolutionize gaming the same way hats did.
Uh... where did Episode 3 go?
HL3 has a real risk of doing a Duke Nukem and taking so long it builds up a level of anticipation it will never be able to meet.
Although the cynic in me thinks its nothing but an illusion as Valve cab clearly make far more money from microtransactions and hats and taking a slice of an ever expanding Indy game market. Is there really any need for Valve to make a blockbuster SP game any more? Its a massive risk if its anything less than world changing, so if i were Gabe, I wouldn't bother.

Steam means Valve needn't bother making any AAA games to make ends meet, I guess it comes down to whether or not they want to.

They're waiting for oculus to enter the mainstream. I hope.

The plan to develop the game in episodes was officially cancelled. Episode 1 & 2 were made concurrently and took far too long.
This is very old info you should already know.
It was speculated there would be a new character that is deaf if I remember. There's youtube videos of Gabe Newell working with deaf people.
Eli Vance needs his vengance!!!
I cannot see how Valve could *not* make half life 3. The Half Life series has been critically aclaimed as THE best series of games to have ever been made.
As someone said above there must be several aborted versions deep in Valves vaults and no doubt when we do finally see a new game they will show the various versions that were ditched over the years. (I still find the various old Duke Nukem Forever and TF2 trailers interesting to see how it developed).
The saddest thing for me though is that as I get older and gaming becomes less of an interest for me (I've not upgraded a pc component for nearly 3 years now!!) I worry that by the time it does see the light of day I'll have lost all interest. And that makes me sad

I didn't think Valve had ever 'officially' canned Ep3? Its just the logical assumption everyone has come too, and Valve have simply stopped talking about it.
Unless I missed something?
Shame, as from what I remember from Ep2 there were hints at a Half Life/Portal connection with Aperture Science coming.
jesus christ dude we just got a new CS and its still being polished.
Maybe it's all too much to live up to, with what you said and Eli dying. Also Alyx probably can't go round looking like she wants Gordon's body 24/7 now.
If they do make a new l4d, i hope they actually put a bit of effort into it so that every game you join people aren't using glitches. Survival mode is a joke, you either have glitchers or people using their own server so that they can move all the items on the map to their defending spot in seconds. They should make it so items can't be moved and get rid of any known glitches. If they did have a leaderboard it would be totally useless.
Would much rather see a new Portal game, but this time maybe release a few dlc packs with further sp and mp puzzles. Once you have completed it there is little re playability once you know the puzzle solutions.
I can't believe it has been so long since HL2.. I remember playing that game shortly after building my first PC and being gob smacked by the gfx. I just cant understand why they have left it this long.
