Valve making three Steam-related announcements next week

It may just be a Valve controller as the third announcement.

Lol, next announcement only a couple of hours away, I do hope this is Half Life 3, loved the other games. Have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed though.

Indeed. Considering the leak has been right so far, it is more than likely going to be Source 2.

Steam Controller. It's what I expected but I still hoped for Source 2.

Would have preferred Source 2.

Looking at the pictures I'm not liking the idea of track pads over physical control sticks, but I shall reserve final judgement until I have had chance to use one for a few hours.

Boomstick777 · 27 Sep 2013 at 20:33

Anticlimax but that controller does look pretty nice, trackpads would be different but I'm sure superior to traditional stick controls. Hmm will Half Life 3 ever be made?

I suppose that fits more neatly under the title of "Living Room" than Source 2 lol.

teppic · 27 Sep 2013 at 21:02

Yeah, the theme of changing the living room experience fits in with everything they've done. Maybe when they announce 2014 native Linux ports they'll have a big Source 2 announcement?

We know already that Valve's complete and future catalogues will be native. Metro Last Light is being ported. Football Manager 2014. And almost certainly Crysis 3, since CryEngine has been ported.
