No Valve at E3 2011? - Games

No they said they are working on it, in an interview.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;27343453]Epic Games is showing off Gears of War 3, [I]when suddenly Gabe bursts through the screen and flamboyantly screams, "Heeelloooooooooo!"[/I][/QUOTE] More like trips over a wire and falls through the screen. Then audience laughs and he walks away yelling "Fuck this episode 3 is cancelled!"

Why would there be, they've said all they're going to say for the next three ice ages.

Wouldn't it be awesome if the GMan were to appear on the middle of the conference and freeze (like he does with Alyx in the end of HL2) the host, then Gabe would walk up and say that EP3 is coming soon, and then they come back like nothing happened.

Perhaps they'll too showcase DotA 2. I'll like that.

[QUOTE=ham!;27455923]you do realize they have different teams focusing on different games[/QUOTE] l4d team-fuck all team fortress 2 team- doing shit nobody wants day of defeat- non existant (other games that may need updating include-css,hl2dm and alienswarm) clearly, something needs to be fixed

[QUOTE=jack254;27497522](other games that may need updating include-css,hl2dm and alienswarm[/QUOTE] CSS doesn't need updating, it needs a fucking sequel already. Alien Swarm definitely needs some updates, and HL2DM doesn't really need anything else.

Telltale should learn from Valve: The next Sam & Max season will be released one episode at a time, and halfway through Telltale will forget about it and release Jurassic Park Season 2, 3, 4, and 5.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;27497780]CSS doesn't need updating, it needs a fucking sequel already. Alien Swarm definitely needs some updates, and HL2DM doesn't really need anything else.[/QUOTE] mostly model and engine updates-weapons have world models that look goldsource quality. all these games should use the l4d/tf2 hand system (without getting technical)- this means we would be able to use hands depending on our charecter- notice how in l4d your hands are of the person you are playing, whilst in hl2 dm despite playing a metrocop you still have hev suit hands. i also wouldn't mind having different hands for all the cts/ts) (oh and it would make mods easier, you dont have to rig every view model to every hand)

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;27497780]CSS doesn't need updating, it needs a fucking sequel already. Alien Swarm definitely needs some updates, and HL2DM doesn't really need anything else.[/QUOTE] what would the sequel be? and please dont say another condition zero type thing.

The thing about HL2 DM and the hands, I think they just simply did not finish whatever they started. I thought there used to be this mod servers had, that it was no more orange arms, and the mod when initially seen on these sites, had multiple color options. Also, when you look at the hands in CSS and TF2, I certainly don't see why changing the hands is impossible. Aside from updates, forget the gap in years, how many games ahead has there been before Ep3? There has been Left 4 Dead 2, Alien Swarm (free but full, none the less), Portal 2 (delayed, but standing by), and hopefully last-DOTA2 (which ever came first) Granted, the different development team thing, but still. It would be nice to have a new Valve video about Episode Three for a change. I can't believe I am mentioning this again, L4D3, but that better not be true before Half-Life 2: Episode Three comes out, I mean if we have to wait for Episode Three, L4D fans can just wait for their number 3.

[QUOTE=gsp1995;27522138]Yeah, they better do something epic like when Glados showed up during the Sony conference at E3 2010.[/QUOTE] I keep imagining the following scenario: During the EA conference, the spokesperson states that they will exclusively reveal x amount of games now. The conference room goes dark as the huge screen lights up. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArP3qYIc-KY[/media] Some members of the audience start whooping and cheering. We hear the idle noises of Advisers and Hunters during a long black screen. Some people start to catch on and cheer. Then an awesome trailer for [B]Half-Life 2: Episode Three[/B] plays that makes us all feel like the wait has certainly been worth it. The trailer finally ends as the entire screen suddenly becomes covered in some kind of sticky substance.

[QUOTE=brenosaurusrex;27512893]What would the sequel be? And please don't say another Condition Zero type thing.[/QUOTE] A sequel in the same way CSS is to CS. Maybe it could have an engine branch just for it but basically, it could just have better graphics and new maps. And maybe some slight gameplay changes, but mostly just better graphics since the graphics are outdated now. I mean, they were great for a few years ago but it's been a while.

And I totally agree about the weapon world models, they're WAY outdated by now.

[QUOTE=mouthBU;27524783]And then I wake up.[/QUOTE] With a huge boner.

[QUOTE=MrPedFed;27488314]i remember gabe/somebody mentioning that episode 3 would be longer then all of the episodes and half-life 2 combined, so it could have possibly branched into another game.[/QUOTE] No you don't, nobody from Valve ever said that, stop making things up.

-Snip-

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;27546397][url]VRExperience.org[/url] still isn't working. Thought I should just update.[/QUOTE] Wrong thread

Probably because they don't got anything to announce.

[QUOTE=da1d1Ot;27570225]Wrong thread[/QUOTE] Sorry, I just noticed. FIXED.

valve does not go to e3, e3 goes to valve

[QUOTE=Tools;27490621]More like trips over a wire and falls through the screen. Then audience laughs and he walks away yelling "Fuck this episode 3 is cancelled!"[/QUOTE] That would be a waste of money.

In all likelihood though, Episode Three will probably just be unveiled via an exclusive reveal in Game Informer.

AND IT TURNS OUT EPISIODE 3 IS 360 EXCLUSIVE, VALVE ARE SELLING STEAM TO ACTIVISION AND GABE IS PUBLICLY GIVING A BLOWJOB TO KOTICK /caps i think you should all rate me optimistic for some reason

Half way through the sony press conference, the whole stage goes black. A loud screek is heard with the voice of the advisor while the front screen starts tearing. Then you hear G-MAN say: Mr freeeeeeeeemann.
