Valve cooking up something...?

Well you would hope that the guys at Valve have been doing something for the last couple of years as opposed to just churning out hats. :D

It would seem that there is growing hype surrounding two events coming up in the next couple of weeks:

1) GDC 2015 - GLNext Conference (March 5th), lots of hype surrounding an unknown/not labelled item in the SteamDB. Owners of SteamDB say it's not HL3 but it does suggest that Valve have something to present.

2) Chet Faliszek talking at EGZ Rezzed 2015 (13th March), speculation around what he's going to be talking about as all over speakers have a documented topic. Chet does not...

Sacks of salt, speculation, tin foil, dreaming etc. here:

I'm going with common opinion that it's Source 2 as a starter, and then possibly a game to showcase it. My money is on L4D3.

Either way, it's always good to have some noise and hopefully some announcements coming from a great developer.
 
CS:GO and DOTA2 (2012/2013 respectively) were the last two games Valve released I think. Both online multiplayer types.

I'd really like to see a return to Valve making story based games myself, be that the fabled game or some new IP.

It's disappointing, but I think the company just wanted to make multiplayer online games so HL2:EP3 just fell to the wayside. Whilst not specifically mentioning EP3, Gabe does elude to this in a recent interview.

Perhaps they were padding themselves with DOTA2/CS:GO/TF2 hats ahead of betting the farm on Source 2 and a slew of long overdue games, if they failed then they'd still have a highly successful and lucrative business to fall back on. Dunno, but I'm struggling for an explanation as to why they wouldn't give the public what they want, give their fans what they want. Unless of course they were just being a bunch of giant douche nozzles.

I thought I heard they were releasing Source Engine 2 with L4D3 as the first release title - no idea on sauce, heard it ages ago and probably totally wrong. Wouldn't; surprise me though

I thought I had heard the same thing previously, some time ago, as way of some announcement, but clearly not if no one else has heard of it.

I vaguely remember, but I couldn't find anything after a good Google earlier. I think it was around the same sort of time as the photo leaks from the tour etc.

One for the controller, and the other for the 'Steam Box'... Both projects fell dead some time last year if I remember. So it wouldn't surprise me.

Yarp, that would be some serious horse flogging if they did. I know SteamOS has come a long way from it's initial release, but seems crazy to try a reignition after the initial momentum seems to have all but fizzled out.
 
Love that tech demo, not for the game but for the fact that what we received was better than what was shown at E3.

Developers of today (well one in particular), take ******* note.
 
I'm pretty excited about some competition for the Rift, however SteamOS and SteamMachines in general have had a pretty lukewarm response so I'd imagine they're going to need a decent title to launch this with.

Probably won't be annouced now, unless it's a "one more thing" style job.

Chet walks of stage, crowd happy but not wowed by SteamVR. Lights go dim, lamdba logo displayed, "Welcome to the H.E.V mark 6 protective system, for use in hazardous environment conditions..."
 
Personally I think they're just taking the proverbial now.

The time/date slot of the presentation where there's no chance they'd be airing the game just smacks of douchelordery.
 
On a side note I think this is a shrewd move for HTC. They've needed something for a while, and if this works this'll be a big boost. Of course if it doesn't they're probably not far from pushing up the daisies.
 
Preordering hardware now. Ugh.

I'd love it if they did a preorder one day and nobody bought it so they took it as a failed launch and canned it. :D

Still interested in the pad, but will wait to see if they're any good I think.
