NowGamer: Valve appears to be hinting at something with the latest Team Fortress content - but is it Half-Life 3?
Valve has finally introduced the much-needed 64-bit support in an unexpected Team Fortress 2 update after 17 years since its release.
64 bit support is not the same as a next gen upgrade. 64 bit has been used for like 12-15 years now?
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
I mean, that might explain the Team Fortress 2 thing, because Valve might bring that to Source 2 (though I'm not sure I'd bet on that), but I can't see how Portal 64 hurts them. If anything, it's more attention to the Portal and therefore Valve/Steam.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.
So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
Please let this be true.
Yay more Half-Life 3 rumours! It's all very well and good, but I don't see Valve revealing HL3 in 2011.
"Here's Half-Life 3, Merry Christmas, love Valve."
PLEASE.
Has to be a new ARG doesn't it? Too many rumours about for nothing to be going on.
People are looking too much into it.
Everything said by Valve is disassembled, reassembled, x-rayed, CT scanned for anything to do with Half Life and are disappointed each time.
This time it is a stretch linking an Aurora Borealis which I see on TV to describe winter and the 'truemeaning.jpg' is the true meaning of Christmas.
