What will Valve be showing at Gamescom?

Volve Gif HL3 Plz

Valve have been pretty quiet in the gaming department for quite a long time now, focusing their efforts on their hardware instead. They may be headed to Gamescom this year though, so what exactly will they be exhibiting?

According to the Gamescom website, Valve will be in Hall 4.1, at stand A031. I’m just going to go ahead and say that their stand has the number 3 in it, so this must mean that Half-Life 3 has been confirmed. Ok fine I’m lying, I have no real conclusive proof! Gamescom did actually list Half-Life 3 as a game to be shown back in 2012, but it turned out to be a big fat mistake which made me cry for days.

Their listed platform is PC (obviously), but they have also listed that they will have components and accessories on their stand, so more than likely their controller and maybe some steam machines. Their steam controller has been getting mixed reactions. Personally though, I think it looks interesting and I would love to see how it feels and handles compared to the traditional console controllers. Will there be any games though? Nothing has been officially confirmed.

I’m still convinced that Valve are going to release Half-Life 3 at some stage, even though it could probably never, ever, EVER, live up to the hype it will have. You know what would happen in the perfect world? Valve would release the next Orange Box, a package stuffed with gaming goodness. All their games could do with a third instalment; Portal 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Team Fortress 3, Dota 3. Are you seeing the same pattern I am? How could you not bundle Half-Life 3 with all of those damn 3’s? All of this of course, would be released with a shiny new Source engine.

I can see them being the sort of company that would never market it though, opting to just wake up one morning and release it onto Steam. What do you think? Will Valve ever give us Half-Life 3?

  1. I hope they do, but as I said previously, I’d prefer a proper KotOR 3 before HL3, and that is saying a lot!

    I think they are going to show off the controller, plus some SteamOS news, and a sneak peak of Gabe’s nipples

      I would also prefer another KotOR.
      Unfortunately there has been so much time between the releases that I actually don’t care about it anymore.

      This had to be from Garry’s mod.
      That thing has entertained me more in an hour of gameplay than other games do in 12.

    I’m sure there has to be a booky that takes bets whether HL3 will be announced or not.

    GabeN will release HL3 when he’s ready to release HL3. His timing would of course be perfect. Not too soon nor too late. It will be… Perfect.

      Sorry, but it would be Triaphobia. The “kai” in triskaidekaphobia means and. So 3 and 10 phobia for 13.

      Sorry, couldn’t help it.

    Well I don’t expect much,you see, they had a massive build up for Source, every single time they showed it off people were in shock and awe, needless to say then this was ten+ years ago, I still remember seeing some of the original footage and being completely stumped… The difference now is that they won’t be able to showcase the engine as much as they did, not because it’s bad, but because every other engine now has about the same functionality as source, which makes it difficult for anyone to compete and actually be unique, which in essence means that HL3 will most probably not be showcased, so expect lots, I mean LOTS of Steam machine promos…

    I am playing HL2 at the moment. Although it is fun, I think I should’ve played it when it came out. I am sorry guys, it is a little dissapointing so far. Guess everyone overhyped it for me. I’m almost done with the base game. Hopefully it has a good ending!

      Then, Episode 1, also good (you can play the whole episode and only shoot ONE bullet)

      Episode 2 will break your heart

          Also the grav gun is by far the most awesome of weapons out there.

          (yes even better than the original BFG)

      Airing negative opinions about the legendary Half Life 2 is akin to denying the holocaust in Israel !

    One can only wait so long for a game. Once that game arrives it ends up doing ok, but not great. Because the interest of that game kinda dies. Same will go for half life 3. IF they ever release it in the next year or two or three infact. It wont be as exciting as it would have been say a year ago.

        Im sure if it ever should release it would receive a score of 89% – 90% but wont exceed that. 🙂
