Valve lets out info about Half-Life 3

source?

Yes, 2.

the thread

I think the two concept pictures of the engine strike me as being a possible iteration of the engine, the folder view however I’d call fake. But those are just my two cents.

cool!

So after all of this, still nothing

That’s a good sign for modders, isn’t it?

Yes.

Steambox will release with BMS installed.

^ lose the S.

I actually wonder if HL3 will ever be released.

Valve isn’t making games anymore. They want the fans to do that now.
UGG =user generated games

I’m a bit concerned about that. They’ll be using the hard work of their fans to generate even more money for THEMselves. After all, they have rights to claim anything that was made using their engine.

Anyone seen whole AMA?

I see no one asked about HL3…

Did you even read it? A few times Ricochet 2 was mentioned, and it was as vague as ever, stuff we already knew (they’re not announcing a project years ahead of it’s time because they dislike failing to meet deadlines, no project is being withheld until VR tech is doable on a large scale or something.)

It seems highly probable that they will release their next cut of their flagship franchise as the debut of their new engine

Sorry, forgot the irony tags.

Yes it does. Although they said they wouldn’t hold back any release purposefully because of vr. A decision I think could be overthrown very quickly.

A non-HL will probably come out on Source 2 first. Counter strike source came before HL2.

You know what? I’d welcome a l4d3 with open arms if they wanted to use that as a vehicle to show off their tech. I can see the obligatory “there Y is just there to show off X effect/ feature” working a lot better for a L4D than a Half Life.
