Half Life 3: Could Valve Surprise Us At E3 2014?

With E3 2014 right around the corner – and depending on where you around the world, mere hours away – the obvious question on everyone’s lips is whether Valve Software will surprise us this year. More specifically, will they announce Half Life 3, which has been hyped since the better part of this decade?

Half life 3 for PS4= world domination jk but I've to say I will have a gamergasm if its true:)

[elhebbo16]

f*ck that, getting a valve game on anything other than PC? ha.

[thorstein]

There is no Half Life 3. There never was going to be a Half Life 3 and there never will be a Half Life 3.

Valve simply does not make games with the number 3 in them. They have never once made a trilogy.

It is what makes them a great developer.

[elhebbo16]

@thorstein they havent made a Team Fortress 3 because TF2 is still popular, in fact its one of steam most played games daily in back of Dota 2 and CSGO, There isn't a portal 3 yet because its only been 3 years since the last installment. Left 4 dead 3 is in development and will be based on the Source 2 engine. If you think Valve's most famous flagship series will not lead the way of the new engine (literally every new engine Valve releases comes a long with a Half Life game) then you must be smoking some serious shit.

There was a fairly substantiated rumor floating around that Valve would be appearing on the Sony Stage. I was hoping it meant that Steam would be running on PSNow. Was the Valve appearance ever debunked?

[elhebbo16]

@morganfell I dont think thats how PSNow works, has to be a rumor. Although I have a gut feeling that valve will be at E3 this year.

[nabeelfarooqui98]

Yes Please!

[camel_toad]

Half-Lafe 3 + Valve's VR = soiled pants

[Iltapalanyymi]

oh man it would be so cash.

[-Foxtrot]

This whole "It will over shadow everything else they are doing" is getting so old now.

Valve will always be doing something else so your not going to have a gap where it's just been left for Half Life 3.

They should just announce it already.

[iamnsuperman]

Unless it releasing at the end of the year (which is where I have my doubts) what is the point?

[DoctorJones]

HL2 was announced in 2003 and was going to be released that year until it got leaked.

[gedapeleda]

Every e3 since 2005

[Thefreeman012]

Let me just dream for a while until e3 is over and I'm pissed again that it didn't come

[Yui_Suzumiya]

That's what she said :3

[styferion]

was waiting how long until an article show up connecting HL 3 and E3 2014, you didn't disappoint sir.

now waiting an article connecting gamescom and HL3

[--bienio--]

Yes please!!! PC gamers need a title exclusive!!!:)

[lemoncake]

The ideal timing would be hl3 announced at e3 with a release early next year, same time as the steam machines. Hl played a large part in making steam successful, I am sure they will be thinking the same thing for the steam os. It would be a huge incentive to make people install steam os just as it was with steam.

[TheWackyMan]

IM NOT FALLING FOR IT AGAIN. DON'T BUILD ME UP LIKE THAT, JUST FOR YOU TO TEAR IT ALL DOWN. ;_;

[kingduqc]

I would just be so happy.

[Zodiac]

doubt it.

[FreshRevenge]

Not going to happen. Gabe Newell just informed me to tell you that you all should forget it!

[Double_O_Revan]

Agreed. I lost all hope a long time ago

[GentlemenRUs]

No

[AnotherProGamer]

its not gonna be at E3, most likely Gamescom since they said they are going to reveal something there

[AD705]

Yeah in the year 313219031023094 it will be released.

[KingPin]

even thats being a bit ambitious.

[dark_101]

E3=2014
E= 2014/3 = 671.3333333333333333

Its a sign

[nate254]

2014/6.042 = 333.33333

ITS A SIGN!!!

[Plagasx]

I would jizz buckets if they did announce it.

[Phils_Libra]

Valve threw support to Sony's PS3 w/ Portal 2, & with Sony listening to developers more about simplicity in hardware design (Gabe's #1 complaint w/ the PS3) with the PS4, I think its possible we may see Valve at Sony's press conference, maybe with a tease of Half-Life 3 for the PS4, which would be amazing! Very doubtful any of Half-Life 3 will be exclusive though as Valve would need Windows support, & Microsoft would probably want Xbox One support in return.
Nonetheless, getting excited for another E3!

[Jovanian]

They should start their conference with a surprise announcement and mention how its the game everyone has been waiting for, then ricochet 2 pops up on screen and starts playing some footage. Right as the audience starts to boo, the video is halted and you hear 'Dr. Freeeemaaan'

Then it shows a full trailer for HL3, along with a release date

[Th3o]

No, stop and shut up. I'm sick of coulds, let's get more confirmeds

[A7XEric]

Over it valve, I don't even get my hopes up anymore. If you ever do decide to make/show this thing it better be game changing
