Roderick Posted January 4, 2013 Let's make it interesting. By waiting a whole year for disappointment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted January 4, 2013 Maybe it's source code will leak in 2013? Half-Life is an anagram for leaf fhil. what does "fhil" tell you? its a sequence with missing letters "g", "j", "k". Since it's 2013, take 3 from the end, so take the third letter. That gives us "leaf", "k" and 201. Since 2+0+1 is 3, we keep the first 3 letters of "leaf", which leaves us "lea" + "k" = LEAK!!!

Erkki Posted January 4, 2013 How long did that take you? 4 minutes and 32 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted January 5, 2013 Which is the exact half-life of Half-Life 3! Erkki scores again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted January 11, 2013 New Images of Half-life 2: Episode 4 / Return to Ravenholm http://www.valvetime.net/threads/new-images-of-half-life-2-episode-4-return-to-ravenholm.243033/ Are you glad they didn't milk the franchise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted January 11, 2013 Don't you remember? Ep3 came out in 2009, the g man hypnotises you during the credits so you forget you ever played it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iosef Stalin Posted January 16, 2013 It won't come out this year, but next. It's pretty obvious really. 2014: 2x0=0 4-1=3 0+3=3 3=Half Life 3. I mean even someone who got an E in GCSE maths could figure that out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikemariano Posted March 4, 2013 Valve is hard at work: Not releasing Dota 2 even though they said it would likely be released by now. Firing people. And Dota 2 is the only game we know of that they intend to release. Even looking past Half-Life, do they plan on releasing or announcing anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lu Posted March 4, 2013 I believe they've been working on the next generation valve engine stuff, among other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted March 4, 2013 And presumably holding back on announcing new games that are built on the next generation engine, until they're ready to announce the new engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted March 4, 2013 I may have whinged about this before, but really think about Valve for a second: if you happened to get a hundred or so of the smartest people you could find in a room and let them work, do you think you'd do quite so little as Valve appears to do? But I think the thing that bothers me the most is that Valve don't really come up with their own games any more. They bought Team Fortress, Portal, Tag: The Power of Paint, Left 4 Dead and DOTA and basically polished them. They are far less impressive as a company when you realise that the vast majority of the company are basically superfluous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luftmensch Posted March 4, 2013 For a superfluous employee base they sure boast a high per-employee profitability. I dunno how true it is (it's not really verifiable as far as I know), but it seems plausible. Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
