What I want? Half-Life 3, maybe even a new Counter-Strike. What it will be? Left4Dead 3.
Oh, and whats up with the morons who think theres gonna be Half-Life 2 Episode 3? I doubt anybody would continue a game with a 2004 engine.

It's a good engine! Has good AI, supports a decent range of effects, good geometry and textures - it's aged beautifully, really. Played HL2:Ep2 the other day and didn't find them off-putting at all, much Kudos to Valve for make that engine :]cgmetallica1981 said:
But yeah, Ep3's time went a while ago, much disappointment all around ;/
Half-Life 3
There haven't been the slightest hints of Episode 3 or L4D3. It'll be a good while before a Portal 3.

I'm going to go with L4D3 since TF2 is still going strong and there making money hand over fist since they learned that people will pay real money for virtual hats and weapons, HL: is officially classified as vaporware in my humble opinion, and they just released portal 2 so i dont think there in a real hurry to release portal 3 (if there even planing to do so) but the L4D seis has many prospects and has been released relatively recent between l4d and l4d2 so as i said my money's on L4D3.
Neither did they make Team Fortress, or... some other game they re-booted for a sequel that was originally a mod, just like TF and DoTA, can't remember its name though.tehweave said:
But Valve seems to have made a habit out of finding good mods/amateur games, assimilating their artists and spit polishing them into AAA games. TF was originally a 3rd part mod, Portal's "narbacular drop" the student game, and the indie game "Tac: power of paint" for Portal 2's gels.
An updated Source engine. Last time I checked neither of the Episodes were made in an updated Source engine.SirBryghtside said:
EDIT:Nevermind, know that I think of it that isn't a good point. What I'm trying to say is that there will not be an Episode 3 this late.

Each of the new episodes were made in a newer version of the Source engine than the last, for example the addition of HDR lighting in Episode 1 and the like. The Source engine is constantly being upgraded and added to by Valve.

I've actually read somewhere that Valve doesn't actually force their employees to make games. That there isn't "make a game by this deadline".
It's like an art studio. People try making an idea: if it works, continue on with it. Don't feel it: don't make it.
Portal 2 started out like this. Gabe Newell never told people to make the game, it just started out as an idea that expanded to the point where the entire company was behind it.
That's also why HL3 hasn't been made yet. No one has really felt the inspiration to make it.
