When is the smegma slurping cockwallet going to announce a new game?

why bother?

Valve no longer develops video games.

>>381644704
Have you not fucking noticed
They already finished it.
But it will be used as an last resort if the fanbase gets sick of their shit and they need to save the company from bankruptcy

>>381644704

>WE ARE DEVELOPING 3 FULL LENGTH VR GAMES FOR THE HTC VIVE

and then he abandoned yet another project.

>>381644704
All the writers left. They know something we don't.

They are obviously focusing all their effort into ensuring Steam remains the number one online digital distribution platform. It makes perfect sense, I would do the same think if I were in their shoes.
Developing a game seems significantly less profitable.

>>381644704
Never.
You chose this future

>>381644704
why the hell would he

They don't do 3's.

Half-Life 1 + 2? Sure.
Half Life 2: Episode 1 + 2? Sure.
Left For Dead 1 + 2? Sure.
Portal 1 + 2? Sure.
TF 1 + 2? Sure.
DOTA 1 + 2? Sure.
CS 1.3 + 1.6 + Source + Global Offensive? Sure.

Nothing with 3. Valve don't need too. Look, Valve has gotten rid of most of it's old guard developers. This means they've either replaced them with people who want to make a game but won't be allowed or people who can't make a game and won't be allowed. The end result is the same. No games are being made.

This is a good thing. If the Old Guard is truly gone, chances are SanFran graduates have replaced them and we all know what that does to the quality of games. So why would you want a Half Life 3 where Alex is suddenly dark black and becomes the protag and she's actually the Chosen One and Gordon is just somebody who got in the way? Or whatever. Even if they managed to get new blood who aren't wanting to force diversity into a game series which is actually pretty diverse (blacks and girls are the good guys, comic relief is a white male guard, protag is a mute 'nu-male' as /pol/ would call it) then they might just be fucking terrible at.

Perhaps Gabe knows this and won't do a game to ruin a legacy which is pretty much devoid of massive failures. His company makes bank anyway. He can eat his good food, drink good wine, live in luxury and discuss new types of hats to be produced.

If it ever gets done, and I'm sure after Gabe dies of a heart attack it will be, then it'll be dogshit anyway. So be happy for small mercies. The alternative is that he's sticking true to his word; that HL3 will be done when there is a major technological leap to use it on. Source 2 is suppose to be amazing (some leaks of a suppose L4D3 map as well out there).

Or you can Google when /v/ ambushed him and held him hostage for 45 mins and made him pay $20 to open a lockbox that just had a hat inside and see that he planned to make games (spacegame and shit) and who knows.

>>381644994
>they need writers to write for.. er... DOTA2 and... er... CSGO?

Either they were surplus to requirements because they're not needed for current games. Or they were surplus to requirements because they finished writing a script/story/plot for a as yet unreleased game(s).

Which is more likely?

>>381644704
They're working on 3 full-length VR games.
Also they released a pretty cool open source audio engine a few months ago.
Even though the engine wasn't particularly impressive or didn't really feature anything that hadn't been accomplished before, the fact that they made it open source and free is a first.
Meaning that any game can use it without having to spend 3 years studying on how to properly process your audio in 3D environments.

C O N F I R M E D

Is the new source engine even done? I remember vaguely hearing that l4d3 was gonna be the first game to use it

Steam Dev Days
L4D3 - flat and VR crossplay game. whole game is playable in VR but not vice-versa.
'HLVR' - Probably an all-new spinoff, maybe legitimately Half-Life 3 or Episode 3. Possibly a system for porting 1st-person Source games into VR (and Source 2?), debuted with VR ports of Black Mesa and Half-Life 2.
Cockpit-based seated VR game. Several cockpits have been seen in a few different leaks, including a Vietnam-era helicopter, a modern day fighter jet, and a scifi futurism space-fighter repurposed from the cancelled 'Stars of Blood' Space-pirate MMO.

>>381645621
It's used in DOTA2 I think. I dunno if it's FULLY done. But the old leak image I saw was a sort of South American style mansion. I can't remember.

>>381645742
Sources?

>>381645536
>open source
Is it? I thought it was just a bunch of dynamic libs.

>>381644704
Why? You inbred imbeciles throw money in his bank account no matter what.

Thanks Gay Ben.

>>381644704
Why would he do that?

He is a billionaire based off steam store, he has no reason to ever make a game again.

If anything it would be a bad idea because if he makes a new game and it turns out to be bad it will hurt his reputation. Better to go out with a acclaimed game and never make another.

>>381644704
jokes on you faggot, who cares about making games when your busy printing out $$$$

>>381645893
Huh, guess I was wrong, misjudged the github page for actually having the files. It's still free though, and well supported.
The github page just shows the site and the releases along with the license.

>Sources?
Just best-guesses from various leaks/'leaks'.

'L4D3' was 'leaked' like mad over the past several years, including screenshots. It's been increasingly surprising that it hasn't released yet each year since 2015.

'HL3', 'RPG', and 'HLVR' related text files started being 'leaked' last year all over anything public in Source 2 (ie. DOTA2 and Robot Repair VR demo). then there was a massive and very genuine-seeming leak from the 'SteamVR Performance Test App' (which is just Robot Repair which cycles through a few fixed camera angles) that gave us tons of juicy little bits like pic related.

Steam Dev Days in probably October again is basically the fall-through date from last year when they said they intended to have software revealed 'in the next year'. Also Left4Dead 1&2 both shipped in October.

Pick one

They're juggernauts in gaming. So why not say
>no the series is done

People will still buy hats and skins.

>>381648303
>expecting anything less from autists and pctards

They stated it themselve not long ago...

The free-to-play model is way, way, WAY, W-A-Y more profitable than spending time creating a game you're not sure will sell well. And you wanna know why?

Because, you dumbfucks, keep spending money on TF2, CSGO, and Dota2 items!

As long as you, low testosterone beta faggots, are gonna keep jerking your dicks off to useless pink camo skins in Call of Strike Global Casualnessive... Valve will keep selling them to you, as well as battlepasses or other useless badges and shit.

They'll keep doing it, over and over, because it's not only more profitable... but because that's where the market is.

So, please, stop making these threads.

YOU are the reason they stopped developing good games. YOU are the homos that started buying TF2 items in the beginning, and showed Valve how much more money they can make with micro-transactions, than by creating new games.

>>381650867
This. This pretty much sums it up. It's always amazing to see faggots harp on and on about how the industry is dying and how gaming is going down the drain but it's these faggots that are the ones that are killing it. Any remotely decent game that comes out everyone just shits on and say it's a cinematic movie or some shit and go right back to playing some shitty campion/moba bullshit or whatever the current FOTM is on Twitch. And then they sit there and act like they don't know why all the good franchises are dying off.

>>381648668
Because it's not done. Half-Life has had more or less the same number of developers on it since they were still doing the Episodes.
