This guy who wrote the article is clueless and I've seen better predictions from gypsies

Quagmire4988d ago (Edited 4988d ago )

Best thing my mother ever taught me was to never trust a gypsy, that and always wear protection...

On Topic: Gabe's announcement of L4D 1 and 2 on a single BD disc would be nice, along with the announcement of Half Life 3

jaosobno4988d ago

If they announce that, I'm preordering immediately.

I'm still refusing to play L4D2 on my PC hoping it would come to PS3.

0mega44987d ago

valve has already stated there bring a console steam like service to ps3 because its open and does not cost money to play online much like the current steam

additionally your other guess are as good as mine

but i expect them to make l4d completely multiplat to reach a larger market and increase profit

Eamon4988d ago

ROFLMAO at 2late.

Steam 2 <-- wtf is this?

Also, Half-Life 3 can't come out before Episode 3 is out.

Maybe the only thing not clueless about his article is Source 2.

OpenGL4988d ago

There's not going to be any Source 2 for awhile, as Valve has recently updated the Source engine with Alien Swarm. Portal 2 will also be using this updated version that shows off a lot of dynamic lighting and shadows.

BrianB4988d ago

im hoping it will be a console exlusive for the 360

karl4988d ago

why would u hope that?

u dont like us ps3 gamers to play the same awesome games?

BrianB4988d ago

i just don't think you deserve great games, if your not gonna buy them

Cheeseknight284987d ago

1) Half-Life Episode 3, or just Half-Life 3
2) DotA ( http://www.1up.com/news/voi...
3) Left 4 Dead on PS3.

Spider0504988d ago

1)Half Life 3 with new Source engine 2
2)Episode 3
3)Left 4 Dead goes on PS3

jakethesnake4988d ago

Half Life 3 and Episode 3?

If you are willing to put some money to match those words I would take you up on that bet!

Chris_TC4988d ago (Edited 4988d ago )

Their last surprise was Portal 2 for PS3.
If you're really holding your breath for Episode 3 or even Half-Life 3 I'm pretty sure you'll suffocate quickly.

I don't even listen to their announcements of "surprises" anymore cause I'll just end up being let down.

NonShalant4988d ago

Didnt Gabe said Steam was coming to the PS3? Or did the article writer mean Steam selling games

Charmers4988d ago

Steam is NOT coming to the PS3 what is coming to the PS3 is "steamworks" which is a collection of API's that allow for things like cloud saves, multiplayer and automatic updates. Steam and steam works are two different things I wish people would realise this.

New Source engine
Half-life 3

5 Ambitious Games That Shouldn't Have Been Canceled

Sometimes even promising titles never see the light of day. These are five of the most ambitious games that shouldn't have been canceled.

Silent Hills cancellation was a travesty.

mrbearbear282d ago

I still wonder to this day if it was a reboot, or sequel.

cammers1995282d ago

Lol. The tags made it so I didn't have to visit your website.

goldwyncq282d ago

Kojima wouldn't have started his own studio if Silent Hills didn't get cancelled so even if it stung at first, I'm fine with it.

chobit_A5HL3Y282d ago

i remember being so excited for patriots for years, only to have them release that siege trash. i hate how multiplayer games, pvp in particular, have ruined so many potentially good games.

15 Years Ago This Month, Valve Announced Half-Life 2: Episode 3

Zack Zwiezen writes, "It seems like just yesterday when Valve announced a trilogy of expansions for their super-popular PC game, 2004's Half-Life 2. But it’s actually been 15 years since Episode 3 was announced. And while Valve has since released a new Half-Life game, it wasn’t the one the developer announced back in 2006."

Orchard1064d ago

Still hurts a little that we didn’t get Ep3… and the “leaked” plans for it sounded like a great finale to the HL2 story arc.

-Foxtrot1063d ago

It sounded fantastic and it's a shame we'll never get that

The ending of Half Life Alyx and what it did basically put the nail in the coffin for those plans.

Fntastic1063d ago

Whatever they release next i hope it's not catered to consoles first. Back 4 Blood seems to be going that route by having automatic flashlights, but i have high hopes Valve won't water down any games as they are usually released on PC way earlier, like HL2 and HLA.

CrimsonWing691062d ago (Edited 1062d ago )

Man, I wish I played Half-Life 2 when it first came out so I could love it like the fans do.

I played it on Xbox 360 and I thought it was ok. I recognize it set a standard for a lot of things like physics in game and story-telling in an FPS, but I think by the time I played it the design had been improved upon by other games.

I would buy a machine that is set up to how Kirito and Asuna play games in Sword Art Online

Inverno1189d ago

The world of Sword Art is something I don't think any developer right now will ever bother attempting to create. I've seen .Hack too and the games both those anime show is something I wish someone would make. A real life simulation presented in a medieval fantasy-esque aesthetic would make me quit real life in a heart beat lol

Double_O_Revan1189d ago

Software might be really buggy though...

Profchaos1189d ago

Maybe and maybe the flying car bug was really just a prediction of flying car software failure.

ScootaKuH1189d ago

If reality moves at 3 frames per second that is 😉

Kabaneri1189d ago

That sounds cool but imagine the social consequences some people would get really attached to that alternate reality.

Lore1189d ago

Dwight in Second Life comes to mind

Extermin8or3_1189d ago

Automate farming systems abd have computers feed us through tubes and live theblife you want.... lol wait what if the Matrix Is real? :?o :p

AFKghost1189d ago

I really dont give a flying monkey doodoo about all this futurism bs. Its really just sad, old timers on their way out desperately trying to stay relevant when they should have been making good games for the last 20 years.
