Valve: We Have a Surprise For You!

[freiheitner]

Someone has to say it -- I predict the surprise is that Valve has obtained the rights to Duke Nukem Forever and a release will be made by the end of this year.

 

[Jarmo]

Valve has been bought by EA and will now on concentrate on releasing yearly minor updates on all their franchises!!

 

[the_krasno]

Gotta love Valve!

 

[Guest]

Um...... have any of you actually played Portal?

Of course the surprise is cake. And the cake is a lie. The surprise is Portal 2.

 

[falchard]

I am hoping for a new engine and a new Counter Strike.

LFD3 is too soon, same thing with TF3. Most likely it will be Episode 3 or Half Life 3, but HL3 doesn't seem right without an episode 3 first right? I can't shake that feeling that they'll do an episode 3 before making a half life 3.

 

[geofry]

It will be a new Dx11 engine, used to do a complete update of HL1, HL2, Portal, TF2, CS2, LFD 1 and2, followed by the announcemnt of a game pack for $49.99, that will be released by Christmas 2010 that includes, LFD3, Portal 2, HL3 and a genetically engineered ferret, that looks like a headcrab, named Lamarr.

"The email itself is reminiscent of the Minerva episodic series created by Adam Foster, or at least, his method of writing."

Er... okay.... want to hear a crazy coincidence? The email itself is reminiscent of GlaDOS from Portal. Have you even played it?

 

[deminicus]

you are all wrong, Valve has finished Duke Nukem Forever!

 

[halls]

Left 4 Dead 3!
I'd be so mad.

 

[subgum]

A reveal of HL2:EP3 or HL3 would be FAR better for me than something about Portal 2. We already know for fact that Portal 2 is on its way. But I've been hopefully waiting for a new installment in the Half-Life series for evvaaaar!!!

l4d2 is good how it is. just make a map for it. ;p HL3!!

"Dear Subject Name Here,"

Way to get personal, valve; although I'm sure THG didn't balk. All they've had to report on recently are women at a convention and grown men playing with legos.

 

[loneninja]

I just hope it's not L4D3, as it is, most of the content in L4D2 could have easily been added to the original.

 

[kikireeki]

HL3 engine or die!

 

[bustapr]

I actually read this while imagining GLaDOS voice in my head. I believe that the only surprise that could overthrow Portal 2 for Valve would be a new half-life. Heres to hoping that they dont announce a new L4D.

 

[tharkis842]

Ooo, now i'm all giddy!

 

[ram1009]

Sounds like a new episode of "LOST".

 

[jezzarisky]

They're skipping L4D3 and going straight to L4D4!

 

[fortehluls]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Orange box 2 lulzcopter

 

[deltatux]

I'm hoping a new IP ... or maybe a new engine for once?

 

[matt87_50]

omg L4D3??
...

or cake

 

[CoryInJapan]

I really hope its hl3/ep3...It probably will be...or the merge of the 2 story's.

But its really going to be left 4 dead 3eeeeeeeeeee =(...j/k but I wouldnt be surprised haha.
