Valve not announcing anything at E3

Valve is not announcing anything because they've already announced Ricochet 2. Get ready for the best E3 ever, featuring Ricochet 2 gameplay!

Well, that won't stop them from announcing something from a hotel room or conference room across the street. :P

This could be another bad news for the famous e3 game show. I think gamers will just have to like the small scraps of games that the industry is turning into.I'm one of the people who does not like this at all. There are more games being cut than new title being invented for us.

What!? you were actually expecting them to appear???

See, what bothers me isn't the lack of Half-Life 3. It's the lack of communication with Valve to its fans who just want to know if there is ANY progress on the game. The more they remain silent, the more we start to assume they're not even working on it.

KKKKKKKKHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just give us what we want valve please :)

So no Half-Life 2: Episode 3? Damn.

Come on valve this is crazy!

Man they are just rolling in the dough from Steam 

I must admit that I'm disappointed at this news.  I'm not really interested in DOTA 2 or CS:GO, so getting an announcement on the status of any other project would have been welcome.  Even more on their plans for Steam on Linux.  Oh well... :(

I dont think see the daylight of day for half life 3 until next gen consles what might be long way

Once again Valve decides not to attend, let's hope this is to get Global Offensive and DOTA 2 finished off as best they can, so they can jump straight into developing Episode 3 for all their crowbar hungry fans!!!

and then valve says "Got Ya" when you turn up at E3 and they announce 5 new games....

@TheArcade Why thank you, fellow DOA alumni.

@UnwantedSpam: Good joke fellow DOA alumni.

nvm, I still love you Valve

Valve really has a serious case of Triskaphobia.

They will announce HL3 at the Dec. 21, 2012.

Valve should take this a step further and actually have an E3 booth with nothing in it.

@deadmonkey76 where did you hear that i think your being lied to

well there goes my hope for a new day of defeat game

:(

Maybe they will have something after E3. :)

DAMNIT! Did Gabe eat Episode 3 again?!?

Oh Valve why do you torture us so?

@RockySquirrel Prequel to HL 1, Gordon's Origins:taking tests at MIT and sending resumes out to BM & Aperture. In the mean time i'll be happy with Black Mesa Source.

Wow great non-reporting on something that isn't a story

Remake Half-life 1... a return to Gordon's origins...

Half life 3 release date... ps5.

DOTA 2?

Suspected as much...

This has been an announcement from Valve.

or ARE they? Edit: 'twas a joke. HL3, amirite?

Aw, man... :( No possible new Portal game where you play as Wheatley lost in... ( I'm not spoiling anything :P)? Dang!

@ Richardthe3rd What do you mean??? You aren't totally looking forward to the AAA Game Publisher's Newest Clones: Military Shooter X.0, Sports Game X.0, or even the latest self-hyped "WoW Killer" MMORPG that totally uses WoW's base mechanics?!?!?!?

who cares valve is over rated and they want to ban used games screw valve

Valve must really hate the number 3.

Valve rarely says anything beforehand...

Well... that's disappointing.

Honestly there's not really a whole lot to look forward to at E3 this year anyways.

Which doesn't say anything really. E3's not what it used to be. I's more ov an overpriced marketing gimmicry versus the industry folks getting together like it used to be. All message control and non-substance fluff. I'd rather hear what's coming from PAX. Valve pretty much does what they want and they don't play by to many other's rules.

No Half-Life 3 or Left 4 Dead 3... at E3 at least, maybe during the years later conventions something might pop up

"Prior to that, rumor had spread that Newell and Apple CEO Tim Cook met at Valve's headquarters in Bellevue, Washington. Newell quickly shot down this speculation, saying he would enjoy discussing ideas with Cook, but no such meeting occurred." Was it not Gamespot that spread those rumors?

half-life 3 forever

That just ruins e3 by a mile for me :'(

so will they be at E3 or not thats what i want to know i am confused
