I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn't going to stop any time soon. I'm just laughing because... people will be shocked again," Valve boss Gabe Newell told PC Gamer. "We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least.

Possible Ep 3? DOTA2? New IP? Waffles?

Valve time doubles this timeframe though :(

hmm the steam thing reminds me that they are looking for someone with knowledge of porting windows games to linux, maybe one of the suprises is Steam for linux :D

To be extremely blunt they better hurry the hell up, before I actually stop caring about it...

I know that Valve is a company that takes its time, but they've made plans/promises before that didn't exactly came to fruition.

But yes, bring on the games, just don't make us spend half of our lives waiting for them.

DoTA. Counter Strike 2. Half Life 3/ Episode 3. All signs seem to be pointing to that, a new source engine would be nice.

If it takes as long as it did to bring TF2 out, it will probably be on the PS5.

Anyway, that rant was mostly directed towards Episode 3. Valve has been doing good this gen.

So let's us see: Episode 3 better be freaking in there XD and I pretty much agree with some of what you guys are saying--new source engine and outside of that, personally, I want to see new IP's. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for CS etc, but I want to see them try new IP's that might just surpass or equal some of their already established ones--Valve has the brains and talent for it.

Something that will shock me? A title that isn't from the first person perspective that involves a 'gun' in some way?

Those are pretty much what I was going to say. Although, not L4D3, but just something to do with L4D. Or this one could be replaced by some kind of new/overhauled source engine.

Alright, so:

  • Half-Life 2: Episode 3
  • Half-Life 3
  • Source Engine 3
  • Left 4 Dead 3
  • Team Fortress 3
  • Portal 3 (just a joke, don't explode)

You decide.

they were making l4d before they were bought by valve, valve didnt come up with the idea. The idea for portal was taken from another group that valve brought in as well, they also didnt come up with that idea. heck,i even think that team fortress was made before valve acquired the people who made it (not so sure about this one)

Well, he told PC GAMER that there will be three surprises, so at least one of them has to be PC related. I'm guessing/hoping for Half-Life 2: Episode 3 or Half-Life 3.

Yes, bought. That means they're now apart of Valve. :| They ARE Valve. So how can Valve take the idea from their self? You do realize companies expand right? If they never, Valve would still be just Gabe Newell on his own (Or whoever founded Valve).

Do you even know anything about the development of these games? This is like implying the entire Call of Duty series is a complete farce due to it being made by the MoH:AA team. Oh yes lets start counting every developer moving between studios for accuracies sake, because putting a price on ideas in SW is a perfect debate material.
