No Valve at E3 2011? - Games

[QUOTE=ze beaver;27365255]Didn't the deal with EA end and Valve didn't renew it? I'm pretty sure Gabe said they'd do it themselves now since they have loads of money.[/QUOTE] EA covers all physical retail while Valve does all of it's digital distribution on it's own.

I would have thought that only legit game developers that take their games and customers seriously were allowed at e3. At least that would explain Valve's absence.

[QUOTE=s7uff;27343316]It could be for one of their big surprise's that they mention a while ago so that no one knows about it.[/QUOTE] I think the surprise was Portal 2 + SteamWorks on PS3.

OPTIMISM TIME! E3, Infinity Ward or someone are showing off the latest Call of Duty game. Gabe Newell then barrel rolls through the screen and yells 'EPISODE THREE!'.

This makes me remember of some interview with Gabe. So the guy asked if there was a release date for EP3. Gabe was just about to say something, when the interviewer thanked him and laughed immediately. I hate interviewers.

He just asked this: "And now, for the world's shortest question ever:... ... Half-Life 2 Episode Three?" *Gabe opens his mouth to say something* "Thank you, gabe." And then gabe laughed, end of interview.

Fucking hell, how many times do they need to be "not on the list" before you guys figure out that they're gonna be there and always will be?

Their body wasn't ready

The 3rd suprise will be that they are actually at E3. By not being on the list, no one expects them to be there. Until Gabe shows up and shouts "SUPRISE!"

[quote=Gabe Newell] *walks onto stage* Episode Three releases next week. (Crowd cheers) but there's only one copy. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN![/quote]

Gabe didnt fit in trough the door.

Thing is, Portal 2 will be out by E3 and EA won't be publishing DOTA 2, because it's a PC game right? So that either means EA [I]are[/I] publishing retail copies of DOTA 2, [I]or[/I] an unrevealed game, on PC and consoles. Unrevealed game fitting such parameters we know Valve are working on? Episode Three... Wishful thinking, or Poirot-esque deduction... you decide.

[QUOTE=jack254;27360006]cloth physics is planned for dota2 if we get dota before episode 3- episode 3 gets cloth physics[/QUOTE] Motherfuckin' capes?

They only started registering fairly recently. They've got a long time to put their names down.

It's probably not gonna happen. Too much fat jokes.

[QUOTE=Tosadalis;27404825]Motherfuckin' capes?[/QUOTE] hair, baggy trousers, sheets and stuff blowing in the wind. also- cloth physics means soft body physics- deformable barrels and the like

Damn fucking straight it's coming this year, if not, I'll lose all faith in VALVe. but in all seriousness, it has to come this year

[QUOTE=alex525;27409185]I'll loose all faith in VALVe. [/QUOTE] How does "loosing" your faith work exactly?

[QUOTE=jack254;27409109]hair, baggy trousers, sheets and stuff blowing in the wind. also- cloth physics means soft body physics- deformable barrels and the like[/QUOTE] Best be having at least a Quad core processor if you wanna run such things with a decent frame rate.

[QUOTE=superdinoman;27403964]Well it is going to be Episode 3 this year. I promise[/QUOTE] Good thing, because I'm attending E3 this year.

Maybe they will miss it this year because there building a real working GLaDOS :P OR EVEN BETTER a real life dog, which will poop out episode 3 disks!... What, what was this about again?

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;27418627]Good thing, because I'm attending E3 this year.[/QUOTE] Youll have to let me know what new special infected they have in part 3.

Turtle Beach made L4D, so maybe VALVe and TB are teaming up for L4D2: Episode One! Finally!
