From CVG

Quote:
Valve has promised "at least" three "big surprises" for gamers in the next 12 months. Half-Life 3, anyone?

Unfortunately - in typical, teasing style - it refused to be drawn on any detail of what the surprises entailed.

Speculation over a Half-Life 2: Episode 3 announcement was rife before E3 in June, but never materialised. Valve cancelled a planned press conference at the LA Expo very suddenly - which was supposed to reveal a "surprise".

Maybe that was one of the three?

"I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn't going to stop any time soon. I'm just laughing because... people will be shocked again," Valve boss Gabe Newell told the latest issue of PC Gamer.

"We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least."

Bring 'em on, Gabe. Bring 'em on.

Newell has also revealed that Valve is working hard on biometrics to better understand their customers - and, potentially, to bring freaky new heart-monitoring thrills to gameplay.

You can read the full, fascinating interview with Valve on its history in PC Gamer UK - which is with subscribers now and in stores tomorrow.


This could swing any which way!

Wish and suspicion: it's been so long since Episode 3 disappeared off the radar. Perhaps they dropped the episodic content and have been working on a full sequel (HL3) for the last couple of years. I did read an article 4-6 months ago where someone from Valve said they weren't really talking about episode 3 any more but that the Half-Life universe weren't left behind. We can always dream can't we? Wink

Damn. I think Gabe is cool. Neutral

Hoping for a new (and awesome) IP, and hoping for Source2.

Other than that, it's Valve. I expect fun stuff in the next 12 months.

"I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn't going to stop any time soon. I'm just laughing because... people will be shocked again," Valve boss Gabe Newell told the latest issue of PC Gamer.

A few months later Valve will introduce a game storage fee, just $0.99 / day per game. "With a huge popularity of STEAM, the system is resembling a safety deposit box more and more. Any self-respecting organization charges for such service, we think it's time for Valve to do the same", said Valve boss Gabe Newell.

In the last survey they asked how many people used torrent programs, and the answer was 40%. I'm not gonna say all of them use it for pirating, but i'm sure most do. They know they're clients (or at least a great number of them) pirate and buy games, and they cannot afford to loose them.

It would definitely be a surprise since in this precise moment, people are expecting anything but another L4D! Laughing

Right now? Yeah.

But he said "In the next 12 months", so if they announce in late 2011 L4D3 with a late 2012 release date it wouldn't be much of a "shocking" surprise.
