Half-Life 3 trademarked
Valve remembers the number 3, for once.
Valve remembers the number 3, for once.
ArsTechnica has discovered a European trademark for Half-Life 3. A proper follow-up to the Half-Life series has been long-awaited by fans, but a voice actor on the series most recently claimed it was no longer in development.
Trademarks aren't necessarily indicative of products that are coming out. They could simply be protecting the name. Internet sleuth Superannuation also points out that Valve actually never trademarked "Half-Life 2," a game that clearly exists. The highly-secretive company could simply be "trolling" fans, a follow-up tweet posits.
Sadly, that wouldn't surprise us much either.

I love that the shack linked to their own embarrassing rumor mill news post.

That's because Valve digitally can replicate all the character voices based on a database so they don't need voice actors. Ever.

haha the idle thumbs haven't been very interesting but this one bit was awesome, it reminded me of the idle thumbs glory days.
I'm talking like they've George Lucas'd the podcast but I think that it's just me that got a bit bored of gaming podcasts and news in general.
But this controller/half-life thing was fucking great!
Genuine laughs out loud, almost on the floor. -
That was hiarlious. Love the Thumbs. <3

Toyota renewed the Supra trademark in 2010, after having let it lapse in 2006. There hasn't been a new Supra yet... but there's the Toyota-BMW collaboration under way to build a sports car, allegedly on the 6-series platform, maybe with an inline 6 hybrid powertrain...
Companies renew trademarks to keep their options open. I don't imagine we'll hear anything announced for the next 2 to 4 years, but this being a patent office filing, Valve had to know it wouldn't escape public scrutiny. -

Yeah, Valve should have trademarked this three milliseconds after Half-Life had gone gold. Might as well cover more than one sequel to Half-Life while you're at it.

Gaben is toying with us, I'm sure

A new X-Wing game, of course.

Gabe is going to hold it hostage and force the internet to shut down.

HL2 was the "killer app" for Steam adoption.
HL3 will be the "killer app" for SteamOS, SteamBox, etc. -
It's not April, so I'm convinced that mr Yoon just pulled the biggest troll on the internet
