Dang, now I've got to finish Half Life 2, load and play Episode 1, and play Episode 2. This may seriously eat into my Fallout time!Half Life 3 confirmed.
Left for Dead 3 followed shortly thereafter by Left for Dead 4 :awe:
You're not alone. And Valve isn't the only one doing it!Am I the only one who thinks it odd to be announcing you're going to have some announcements?

Team Fortress 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Half Life 3
Announcement #1: Left 4 Dead 3 (maybe on a new Source engine)
Announcement #2: New Source Engine (?)
It can't be H-L3 since we now know that Valve isn't working on it at all due to MOCAP technology(ies) not meeting their standard for a would-be H-L3.
Has HL3 actually been announced or people just messing around posting some of these pics?
Evidence leaked over the years, yes
It's was accidentally leaked a few weeks ago that they're working on L4D3, and Gabe Newell confirmed himself they were working on a new engine (and it will debut with a new game). Safe to say it will probably be L4D3.
Wrong. HL3 is definitely in the works, and has been in the works for a long time now. There's been too much leaked evidence and insider info to assert otherwise.
ROFL. There's never been evidence, there's only been fan created "leaks."
In April 2012, Gabe Newell was interviewed by the Seven Day Cooldown podcast. His interviewer asked, "My final question - and the question in the back of all your fans' minds and everyone has been waiting to ask you for a long time: When can we expect the release of Ricochet 2?"
An audibly amused Newell responded, "In terms of Ricochet 2, we always have this problem that when we talk about things too far in advance, we end up changing our minds as we're going through and developing stuff, so as we're thinking through the giant story arc which is Ricochet 2, you might get to a point where you're saying something is surprising us in a positive way and something is surprising us in a negative way, and, you know, we'd like to be super-transparent about the future of Ricochet 2. The problem is, we think that the twists and turns that we're going through would probably drive people more crazy than just being silent about it, until we can be very crisp about what's happening next."
It's apparent that the term "Ricochet 2" is a code-name for "Half-Life 3" as Ricochet itself was a multiplayer mod for the original Half-Life that is considered one of the worst games Valve has released (and more importantly, does not even have a plot). When asked if those working on the project have moved on to other games, he responds, "No, everybody who has worked on Ricochet 2 continues to work on Ricochet 2."
I just hope its a open world left 4 dead that copies day z
Considering all the referencing to the Steam platform and the living room... good chance it's a slow reveal of a Steam based console. Very small chance it's an actual game release in there.
Although I would expect them to release a new game coinciding with the release of a Steam box sort of console. Doubtful on HL3 though.. maybe TF3 or L4D3 being much more likely.
