Valve Project Leak (HL3, L4D3 + more)

[M. Johnson 1st MRB]

So this has recently come to light:

http://www.valvetime.net/threads/updated-h...tracker.243580/

which is very interesting indeed. Looks like the next games to come from valve will be Half Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3. Also a new source engine could mean a update to DOD:S? we can only hope as it's highly unlikely.

What does everyone think?

[T. Graves]

If they update DoD:S I will do a damn backflip in astonishment. Also I've been waiting on HL3 for ever... and a new L4D. L4D2 servers are pretty much dead.

[Arevicci]

Well most likely it will be a new creation like source was after 1.3.

[Kirkendall 1st MRB]

So this is a list of projects Valve may or may not be working on? Without knowing how many people are actively working on any given project?

I had no idea they were making a Half-Life 3.

[Quarterman 1st MRB]

Hopefully this is true haha.

[Lafy BAR]

Gabe lumps dod in with ricochet on the probability of updating it. How likely do you think ricochet 2 is? Don't expect a dod 3.

[Viktor]

Hopefully this is true haha.

THIS. I wonder what kind of engine that VALVE will be using for HL3. I heard that they didn't want to put HL2 Ep 3 because the engine was out of date, and they feared that no one would buy it, even though the story was left at a major cliff hanger. :/

I've basically given up on episode 3 on the current tech at this point, Valve has let it sit around too long; they might as well make a whole new game, ending the story that they started in the HL2 games with a bang. I'm curious as to where they will take Portal next and whether or not they'll fuse the storylines together. L4D3 I'm not overly excited about at the moment due to the dozens of zombie games that have come out and are on the way, and I honestly cannot see where they can take the gameplay that would be more original without losing the feeling that they had with the previous games.

Until I see some more hard evidence, I won't hold my breath over this.
