They are also creating three VR games, but he did not mention about any of the projects and what they are about. In addition, Newell stopped short when asked about the "Half-Life 3" references for the Source 2 engine in code. By that, it seems like the logo is not significant and there's still no news about the game as Christian Post noted. He said that some of the "more childish" employees of Valve have worn "Half-Life 3" t-shirts to GDC. Yet it seems like Valve CEO Gabe Newell knows more about the alleged "Half-Life 3" logo. None of us are going to be able to tell you what that is or why that's there." "Honestly, those icons have floated around this office for quite a while. "It's news to us that the picture is out, but it's also news that this icon is on the screen," Coomer said according to Venture Beat. However, before everyone got a little too excited, it was confirmed that the logo had nothing to do with "Half-Life 3." In fact, Valve communications specialist Greg Coomer claimed nobody in the company can tell what the logo is for. The photo was taken inside the company's offices and one of the computers showed what seemed to be a logo for "Half-Life 3." Many eagle-eyed fans noticed the logo that was barely noticeable and instantly thought it was made for the game. "Half-Life 3" recently came into the spotlight when a photo got leaked from Valve. Valve CEO Gabe Newell came forward to address the issue and confirmed his employees were the ones responsible. On August 14, Mad Catz publishes a computer-generated promotional video for their new keyboard in which a Half-Life 3 logo is visible among other icons. Welp, so much for that one, then.Fans have been waiting for the highly anticipated gaming title "Half-Life 3." When a possible hint broke the internet, fans got really excited, only to know that it was just a prank. On August 17, a video is released in which Gabe Newell jokingly says, 'You'll never get Half-Life 3 if you eat me.' This suggests that the game, if released, would be called 'Half-Life 3'.

Apparently Newell and co are still working with JJ Abrams in some capacity, Valve is "making some progress" on lower priced Steam Boxes built primarily for streaming from existing hardware, and Newell started his infamous knife collection when he was just an itsy bitsy child, unaware of the majestic beard (and also software empire) that would one day be at his command.Ĭheck out the full thread here. You don't want to create that kind of dependency," he explained. "We aren't holding any game until VR is shipping. He did clarify, however, that Valve isn't holding Half-Life 3 back to wait for widespread VR or anything like that. "When we announced our products years in advance in the past and then were really late delivering them, it was pretty painful for both us and the community.
When is Ricochet 2 - aka, Half-Life 3 - coming out? Surprisingly, Newell answered, but not with anything we didn't already know: Inevitably, someone also asked the big question.

A professional developer at Valve will put up with a lot of pain that won't work if users themselves have to create content." That focus is driven by the importance we see user-generated content having going forward. "The biggest improvements will be in increasing productivity of content creation. So, right then, what's the deal with Source Engine 2, which has drip-dropped into the collective consciousness after countless leaks? Is it actually real? Yes, yes, it is.
Newell even fielded a question about Half-Life 3, shockingly enough. But hey, if you'd like to know laughably bad company names that Valve nearly went with (like Rhino Scar, as we revealed in 2007) and also the main purpose of Source Engine 2, you've come to the right place.
