Hi folks,

Been out of touch with PC games for a while, so wondered if anyone can save me searching and give a quick answer to this noob question...

Have Valve actually done anything since Portal 2? Like except for tweaking Team Fortress or something. Just harvesting money from Steam? All the people that made Portal 2 - did they just lay them off?

What I of course really mean is - where is my Half Life (ep) 3?

Anything?

Thanks

Dota 2? CSGO? They've been doing a lot with both. Mostly dota2 and The International.

They've also been working on porting their game to Linux/Steam OS, and working on the Steam controller.

Ah right I see. Thanks. I sorta was thinking single player stuff. I'm a bit old school you see (or just old). Wow when there's that much money in this multiplayer tournament stuff, why bother with anything else? Then again, surely they can afford to have a team making HL3 just for me and the others still living in the past hoping

Maybe they'll do a Microsoft and announce Half Life 4.

I would pay good money for full remakes (none of that HL:Source nonsense) of all of the Half-Life games in Source 2.

This <- engine, I mean.

Ooh source 2. Sweet.

Ah - January. So, anything happen with that?

LegendaryDread · 19 Oct 2014 at 15:43

All I could find was this:

Did Valve just soft-launch the Source 2 engine?

We've just been waiting for a game to roll [Source 2] out with.

Personally I'm hoping we get another Orange Box-type deal, but with L4D3/Portal 3/HL3.

Stuff of dreams. Delusional dreams probably.

Black Mesa will get its official steam release, closely followed by news the next Half Life game/episode. I know cause Gman told me.

Liampope · 19 Oct 2014 at 17:10

Cool. Say hi to Gman. Black Mesa - they finished that yet? Wonder if that pizza arg is still goin - must be a couple of years...

Not valve, but if you like portal then deadcore is the next closest thing to that
