Rumor: Valve employee wears Half-Life 3 shirt
A Uber Entertainment's Chandana Ekanayake spotted a Valve employee wearing a Half-Life 3 t-shirt at an industry event, and snapped a photo to show the world.
A mysterious Valve employee was reportedly spotted wearing a Half-Life 3 shirt, making for either a coy hint or a cruel troll. Possibly both. The Valve employee was spotted by another games professional at an industry event, who snapped the photo to share it with the world so all can share in the renewed cries for more Half-Life.
"All I'm saying is I saw this at a local game developer event worn by a Valve employee," tweeted Uber Entertainment's Chandana Ekanayake (via PC Gamer). He didn't provide any more info on the Valve employee, so a close-up of the t-shirt from a second-hand source is all we have.
What does it mean? Probably nothing. But it's a sign that Valve is thinking about Half-Life 3, at least. It's been seven years since the release of Half-Life 2, and four since Episode 2. The concept of "Valve Time" is named after the company's careful, deliberately slow pace when creating a game, but something has to be in the works by now, right?

I now know why Valve hasn't done anything with a 3 in it, it's so bland.

Remember when this code was leaked a few months ago from the DOTA2 beta client? I hadn;t heard about this until today.
/src/game/server/ep3/weapon_icegun.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_concrete.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_liquid.cpp
/src/game/server/ep3/weaponizer_metal.cpp/src/matchmaking/matchmaking_cstrike
Icegun?? Borealis?!?! Aperture science/Portal tie-in????-
I swear those have to be trolls too. They do this type of stuff in the TF2 file notes from time to time

I am simply resigned to the fact that I will be collecting my Social Security and in a nursing home trying to hold a controller with my arthritic hands by the time this game comes out.
-
I already have gray hair and hair falling out; I'm going to look like my grandfather when Half-Life releases.
-
dont sweat it. by the time it comes out they will have developed a way to interface directly with the games, via a socket at the base of your spine, and will have anti aging treatments to extend your youth. in fact you might be even physically younger than you are now when the next half life comes out!
-
-
That doesn't look like the typeface from Half-Life 2 or Portal 2. They're not holding to Valve standards.
I'm gonna go make a "Bioshock 5: To The Moon!" t-shirt and walk around Quincy Center.-
On the back of that HL shirt it reads "U Mad?"
-
Later on, I remembered that something else is wrong: the 3 and the lambda are in the wrong place. The lambda is supposed to be the big character in the circle, and the 3 is supposed to be superscript.

-
And yeah they are trolling. Why do you hurt me so? :'(
-
A Uber?
-
-
No see, because Valve actually does release games.
-
-
By another company. After 12 years.
-
And 13 and a half engine rebuilds.
-
DNF is the best game ever and was worth every second I have spent waiting for it.

so this is where we're at huh, pretty sad.

valve time = erosion
valve = natural force -

TBH...Quake players were shitting on CS right when it first appeared for being too slow and less rewarding of skill...so its not like it was always considered some sort of competitive masterpiece (I'm not saying it doesn't require skill...it actually does...though I've never cared all that much for CS or the skill set it emphasizes...but I'll admit that it does require skill and its still enjoyable for those who like it...for me it felt too much like Clan Arena/Rocket Arena with less interesting weapons and some objectives thrown in).

I doubt there will be a Source 2 as well, but they really need to step their game up on their current version of the engine.
Texture work needs to be of a much higher resolution. Geometry work needs to get with the times and have far less blocky only areas, more smoother curves on objects, etc. Maybe start adding some nice DX10/11 features for those who want more eye candy.-

It's fun to throw off your competitors with plausible misleading PR. It's like a reverse in football.

There's no NEED? Portal 2 looked fucking good, ran amazingly well on the PS3, I can only assume just as well on the more powerful 360 and seriously - Portal is a great example of how art direction can trump any bullshit fancy effects. PLUS Portal 2, seemed to have pretty fancy effects?
A lot of conspiracy theorists think "oh nope, he's doing source 2!!! with HL3, in a lab, surprise bitches!!" they aren't, they'll just keep slowly updating their engine, helping them make actual games quicker.

Why is it a rumor that they wore a HL3 shirt if there is a picture and a witness?
-
-
But just not anyone is wearing it?
-
-
the rumor is about what it means, not that he was wearing the shirt (since as you say, that's pretty well documented)

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Half-Life 3 T-shirt on Developer.
Targeted for release via walking around Bellevue, T-Shirt on Developer features two sleeves and a Half-Life 3 logo on the front. -

Does anyone really believe anything from Valve nowadays? They rarely live up to their promises, other times they just outright lie. Halflife episodes out every 6 months? L4D will have tons of DLC? Nope, 4 years since episode 3 was due. Nope, we'll just turn what should have been a DLC for L4D into a new game to wring some more cash out or customers.
Valve loves to troll people. Believe nothing till any game or content is actually for sale.
