Valve at E3

Valve has a wonderful reputation for trolling.  Don't get me wrong; they are wonderful people and I do not know where I would be without steam, but they claim to be announcing a game with "Three" in the title at E3 next week.

Don't know "valve" and i couldn't care less about any of the possible titles you mentioned.

There is only one game i look forward to (and TBH it's the first one in years) and that is the new Fire Emblem: Awakening

Sure it is for the NDS, but the FE titles are masterful Turn based strategy games.

Half Life? Have all good spirits moved out of your mind? Before they announce another Half Life they announce Duke Nukem Foreverever...

My money is on left 4 dead. or portal.  Half life is not likely, I think they like leaving it where it is, and teamfortress 2 is still alive as f2p with full dev support.  Portal 2 is still pretty new, but I was so popular, it wouldn't surprise me if they made a 3.  I never played left 4 dead, but I know it was also extremely popular and its probably time for another release on it.

Since I think there is more money in the portal franchise atm, my vote goes for Portal, but I think L4D is just as likely.

I think Valve said they're not going to be working on a Left 4 Dead 3 for quite a while, assuming they do make one. They'd rather spend more time on the stuff they've neglected for a while, I've seen complaints that Half-Life has been neglected.

Don't quote me on that, it's just what I've heard from others.

That was a rumor which didn't turn out to be true. Gabe Newell already confirmed some weeks ago that they won't announce anything new at all.

Gaben said they were not working on half life episode 3 and it isn't even yet confirmed so i seriously doubt that its the secret game, probably some random crap title you wouldn't even think of.

Well, if we are only going off of rumors, then what about the Steam console?

due to valve's aversion to the number 3 i'd be surprised if they even turned up at E3.

maybe they'll announce something at a different event, like pax.

  Nope, pax has 3 letters in it.

this is something i haven't considered. where else can they go that doesn't have a 3 link?

you know this gonna end up like that episode of tng where data put 3's everywhere, we'll find some connection with the number 3 for everything and disprove valve's existence.

Nothing new from Valve at E3, just stuff that's already been announced.
