So Valve is at GDC as many of you know. They have been hard at work on their own VR, SteamOS, and Steam controller, but will they announce any games? Their press conference is literally at 3pm 3/3 and I for one truly hope this isn't just a coincidence. So duders do you think there will be any game announcements or all 3? Do you even still want HL3? Will L4D3 be miles better then Evolve or are zombies old news? Can they make Portal 3 still funny? Speculate!!!

I for one still really want HL3 but honestly don't even remember much of what happened. I'd also like to see another Left 4 Dead although I don't care for zombies anymore. I also hope they do make Portal 3, and it ties into the events of Half-Life 3, also more Wheatley. Or what about Team Fortress 3. Hats for everybody.

Oh goddamnit. For a split second I read this as "Valve announce HL3, L4D3" and my heart skipped a beat.

They'll announce Half Life 2: Episode 4 and act like nothing is amiss.

It'll be a bunch of slides about how much money they've made and how prolific Steam is. Then they will show some Steambox stuff and the new controller, then some VR stuff, then DOTA2 stuff.

And that will be all

And the internet will explode with rage at the fact no HL3 got announced, for some reason

It will be the end of video games

Game announcements don't happen at GDC. It'll be about Steam, Steambox and their new VR thing.

Ricochet 3. You know it will be great because they're skipping #2.

But really, this made me realise how much more the legend behind Half-Life 3 is worth than the game itself. At this point, it's inevitable that people will be disappointed with whatever is released; no matter what HL3 ends up as, people will think 'this is what took 8 years??'

There's already a thread on speculation and also:

You are mischaracterizing this thing to a huge degree. It's a standard workshop session, just like most everything else at GDC. Not an "event." That doesn't mean that they couldn't slip something in there, I guess, but this isn't going to be some press-focused, announcement-driven session. The guy will probably just get up there and talk about physics, just like the panel description says.

If I was a physics-focused game developer and I went to this thing and it turned out to be some big public announcement, I'd be pretty pissed. GDC passes aren't cheap, that'd be a real waste of time.
