Can't wait for this to blow up in their face and give them an excuse to stick to just running Steam.

RICOCHET 2

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAH

what have the developers been doing for the past seven years anyway?
if you were say a concept artist or a gameplay tester what were you doing on a daily basis?
did you just come in log on look at porn and eat snacks all day?

But in all seriousness, I'm actually kind of, sort of excited to see how disappointed I'll be with whatever they come out with

Yes.

I want Gabe to go on stage in this 2018 E3, jump into the air and scream RICOCHET 2

...

...

They are internally mocking us right?

Why VR games are still 1-2 hours long minigames?

All he has to do is make a game where you can swing a virtual crowbar and it'll be gold.

when hardly anyone owns a headset.

I mean they have a relatively clean track record when it comes to that, unless Dota is pay tow in, but then again who gives a shit about watered down RTS games for faggots too stupid to play am RTS

Valve have to get back into making games so they can hop on the paid-mods/lootbox gravy train.

How stupid can you be?

Unironically, yes.

Good for back.

Just show me whatever kind of incomplete build of Half Life 3 exists, or tell me it's canceled. I'm tired. I don't even really care anymore. I'm just sick of the ambiguity.

Yeah they're making games. Making Dota 2 Trading Card Games baby.

Who cares? Their games aren't even good.

It was never made.
Kinda like DNF, at least these scumbags had the brains not to tease people with bullshots and fake trailers when no game even existed.

It would probably be cucked to hell anyway, considering how Half Life 2 was a disappointment for the most part.

(((games)))

For some reason I feel hopeful that whatever these games are, they're going to make a proper VR HMD system seller game
For fuck's sake, hire some competent devs and at the very least make something fun

...

a) Microtransactions
b) Season pass
c) Online-only
d) Hero shooter

Pick a combination of these, or add more to the selection
we should have a bingo for Valve's first post-retirement game

Maybe a proper TF3?

Call me when they make a new Team Fortress game instead of running TF2 even further into the ground

Better yet, just get the community to make a new one since they're already doing everything for Valve to begin with

Fuck, forgot
e) VR

And f) Lootbox

good call

So what the fuck were they doing for the past decade beyond the occasional TF2 update? VR shit?

...

Fuck HL3, give LD3 dammit

ITS A FUCKING CARD GAME!
Doesn't any of you understand? Valve has only ever been after gaymer's monies. They now understand how shit gamers are nowadays and will eat up anything they make, so they make a simple virtual table with gambling mechanics.

Gone are the days of actual games. Nobody would buy them and they're to much work for their worth.

Dota 2, and failing to make multiple games, including Left 4 Dead 3 and HL3 HLVR.

...

Gordon (((Freeman))) with a mixed race love interest. Perhaps it was secretly anti-semitic and that's why it was dropped.

Truly pathetic

Word on the grave vine is that game has been canceled.

You'll never see it. Just hope it doesn't become a meme like hl3.

Prototype maps exist of HL3, but apparently it's now something called Half Life VR.

Half life 3 card strategy game

store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

you're family is right user, you really are useless

If my post ends in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 then halflife 3 never ever.

How is he even still alive?

HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED

congrats, you made me think it was 2006 again

WEW
E
W

You had one job Cu! ==ONE==

...

You can spend 10 grand in Dota 2 and you still have the exact same ingame power as somebody who just created his account. It's all cosmetics.
They didn't add any p2w stuff to CS:GO either, so there shouldn't be any issues in that regard.

...

Well now

...

CONFIRMED

If trips, Gabe Newell must come in to this thread and fucking explain why Half-Life 3 has taken so long.

Also, everyone who posts in here gets a free copy.

...

They are still developing the trading card ASSFAGGOTS game

archive.is/v4wpz

In all seriousness, will Artifact even fare well? How is it compared to other card games?

There are traces of antisemitism there.

I guess Half Life 3 will be the second coming of God.

Aren't they aware that card games are a dying fad and it's all about battle royale now?

I always felt like that screencap was fake and only the posts that did it right are shown. Just look at the post times. You're telling me that 2009 Holla Forums wouldn't freak out over posts like that and flood the thread immediately?

Dammit user what have you done!?
You planned this didn't you?

It was never really much of a fad to begin with. Remember how badly Scrolls flopped?

What's their plan, to release a more disappointing Orange Box?

They also have some kind of battle royale thing in the works for CS:GO too, they're just chasing fads, and the Chinese.

Orange Box 2: VR Boogaloo

probably not, it really depends if they are going to try to directly compete with hearthstone or just bring in as many dota players as possible. if they do the latter, i assume there will be some sort of cross promotion or interaction between the two games.

not enough info out there to say. the only definite things we have are
while the 3 lanes mechanic is somewhat original, there has been games that have similar ideas even if those games have flopped.

I don't see where you're getting at. It's just prove that trying to chase a fad won't make your games automatically sucessfull.
How many games died in the shadow of WoW with the mmo craze, and how much under LoL/Dota2 with the ASSFAGGOTS fad? Hell, there was even a small fad with the hero shooter genre with Overwatch, but not as many.

Scriptfagging?

Singles have never been this devastating.

Fucking flawless.

Steam OS and that shit controller bombed this hard, huh?

Yes.

No.

These quads will not be unchecked.

Now that's impressive and foreboding considering your other post

...

Valve's company structure is still fucked. It's more a cash filled sandpit than a studio; they don't make games anymore because they don't need to. I'll just wait for most of these projects to get silently dropped and cancelled, like always. Unless Gaben got off his fat rolls started assigning roles and actual responsibility to people. I doubt it.

I mean, the best they come up in all this time are some VR shit and more digital card cash-in crap. What a fucking joke of a company.

...

What have you done

You make it sound like digit numbers matter or are relevant in current year.

Ironic for a post with those digits.

That is my university life. Valve also sounds a lot like a university environment

That is where you are wrong, kiddo.
doomworld.com/forum/topic/99767-new-details-on-the-duke-nukem-forever-2001-build/

They only really have practice being slimy degenerates, I can't seem them ever producing a product ever again.

Valve's a bank, user. They've become an e-commerce platform and have shitloads of dosh and the freedom to work on whatever they want without any fear of a publisher putting their balls in a vice to shit something into the market. This is unironically the dream of most professional game developers.

Trading card games is the biggest Jewish scam since the holocaust. Gabon can eat my ass.

Artifact 3 coming soon great

...

they were probably working on vr shit

How did you fuck up this hard?

GOOD JOB YOU FUCKING RETARD

Artifact sounds too busy tbh. Like from what I've heard, you're essentially playing 3 games of Magic at once.

...

It's not April 1st yet, gabe.

Why do so many people hate VR? And not just its current implementation, but actively hoping that it fails so we don't ever get anything better. As a kid I dreamed of the type of VR we have already, and people still complain endlessly. Is it a sour grapes thing, because most people are broke-ass pirate NEETs? In that case, you should hope it succeeds so it gets cheaper and stops being so unnecessarily expensive.

Oh fuck

To an extreme hitler was a faggot and gobble was his cock slut. Want a source? Look it up :^}

VR would be great, if people actually made some fucking game with it. The whole platform is extremely compelling for all of about 6 hours, and then you realize that these shit games that didn't feel like shit because "immersion" are in fact - shit. And the "experiences" are only good to experience once, and then they become boring.

They keep trying to chase the immersion meme, when there really is no end-game to it. Not without fucking holodeck technology, and the stop gaps are all experimental super expensive rigs that nobody supports. Meanwhile, even the most supported peripherals end up holding back games because they're just wagglin sticks which - over a decade after the Wii's release, nobody knows how to make actually work in a game.

VR would be fine if developers just admitted that it's just sticking a TV set to your eyeballs with head tracking. Give us good games, with traditional controls, that we can sit on our fucking couch and get lost in. That's all VR really needs to succeed.

Some of the best VR titles on the PS4 are exactly that. Shit like Resident Evil VII, Moss, Thumper, are all decent titles. But those are rare and all you ever end up getting for the most part is a bunch of samey wagglestick proof of concepts and "experiences" with a $20 price tag.

How many times has the dubsman take the cute user away from your focus?

We have such little faith in developers to not fuck up with what we already have so there's pretty much no hope for them to do anything with VR other than just use it as another scapegoat for their incompetence.

That's quite a good summary. Are they attempting to sidestep some regulation with this?

...

Wew lad. Still never ever though

You double nigger

Only if 33

What the fuck, can it really be around the corner?

THE MONKEY'S PAW IS SUMMONED

...

Why does it look like Sonic has 3 legs, inb4 penis joke?

He's just that fast.

It's too late, Gabe. My childhood is dead and so is my hope for good Valve games, there's nothing you can use to hurt me anymore.

Holy shit this is actually really good

Fuck you Gabe, give me HL3.

According to people who worked at the company, that was basically it. They always held LAN parties and worked on minor projects that got scrapped.
Rumor has it that Gabe got sick of the productivity, so in the last year he's been trying to get the company back on track.

...

...

I really doubt it's Gabe cracking the whip.

Is there anyone still working at Valve who can actually make games? Artists who are making new ASSFAGGOTS skins, cards for their card game, hats and various code monkeys to push out patches don't count.

That's because the project had something like 20 people working on it.

Millions would die if he jumped. We're trying to reduce casualties not amp them up.

Didn't they learn anything from the Steambox?

Is that a motherfucking Franken Fran reference

Aren't Portal and TF2 prior to Heavy update the only good games that Valve ever produced?

They don't need to sidestep anything. Rather, trying to skirt the law (especially by out-jewing much bigger and meaner jews) would invite considerably more fines, fees, and lawsuits than whatever they'd be trying to hide. That's what the real banks do.

If anything, they'd be trying to get regulators off their asses with the whole 'Are CSGO skin trading sites RMT gambling dens?' affair.

No, I suspect they're just at risk of losing all of their developers. Money is good and all, but if you're a designer and Valve's paying you to design, going almost a decade without seeing anything come out is really demoralizing.

because he does. For reasons unknown the artist gave him a third leg that doesn't have a shoe at the end

No we're not. Why prevent the inevitable? Nuclear Newell will come crashing down soon anyway, best if he does it in style.

Why? Gabe is probably shitting himself at the prospect of Tencent coming in and taking all his hamburger money away. If they run steam as just a game distribution platform, they're going to get steamrolled by the Chinese. The only way to keep the platform more attractive is to either be less jewish and provide a better service (which is not going to happen) - or to culture their own stable of platform exclusive relevant games in order to keep customers engaged.

What I mean is that Valve isn't as independent as they want you to believe.

Hell is too good for the likes of you, you deserve Detroit

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

i ain't clicking that shit nigga

You better click that shit, nigger.

ayy lmao

They got a Jew elected president didn't they?

...

What would drive a bird to scream in a toy cup?

Curiosity. The birb looks clearly interested in how the cup changes the sounds of its screams.

Unlike niggers, birds are actually smart.

What about black birds?

They have fair skin under the feathers

Those are a bunch of extremely intelligent creatures for what they are. They know how to manipulate their enviroment to their needs using tools and can communicate effectively with each other.

I wish I could believe but I've learned from my mistakes.

Anyway it will probably be Dota3 *for mobile*

So they are smarter!

They also live almost exclusively within a mile of human settlements so that they can scavenge off of our trash, can be extremely violent and territorial, and are historically considered the harbingers of death and war. Sounds kinda niggarly to me.


Well fuck, thanks for the reminder. Time to dig through my old CD collection.

I don't believe that for a second. At most we'll get yet another multiplayer game with microtransactions.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Fuck you faggot

Wow its fucking nothing.

No fucking way

...

Actually aren't most birds and mammals fair skinned under their fur?

Well, yeah. The feathers/fur protect their skin so it'd make sense for them to not produce melanin.

I unironically think that this would save the arena shooter genre.
They've all felt like quake clones or UT clones, there needs to be some new mechanic. I thought the mechanic would be 4d perspective projection, but it's remarkably hard to make a line of sight model when you're depth is made up of two dimensions. There could be heaps of new mechanis built from the idea of ricochet. It would completely shake up the way positioning works. Like if every weapon in quake 3 had grenade launcher like mechanics. You could rail someone going for the mega in ztn3tourney1 by standing at the gl platform and railing the floor of the corridor to mega when you think he's going to pick it up.

10,000 years in MS Paint

Wonder if this is because Value realized that they are a literal gambling service that is about 1 year from getting regulated into oblivion. While EA can hide their faggotry under the, "Its not gambling since once you pay for a loot box you cannot convert that digital item back into money" argument. Valve's entire business is built around letting you sell your loot box gains for real money. Valve has no way to say they do not promote gambling and as such are about to be gang banged by ever nations gambling commission.

pretty much this. card games are unique in that they're rng for actual gameplay which makes them distinct from standard gambling and different from cosmetics.

CS:GO lets you see your shit for money. Shit that you get from opening boxes. The same shit that everyone was getting ass blasted at EA for Valve has been doing for years. But now that the government is actually looking at this for real means that Valve is screwed. Since the big thing that defines gambling is the ability to turn shit back into cash. Ever wonder why those machines where you drop a quarter and hope it pushes more quarters off gay out tickets instead of quarters. Well gambling. Ever wonder why you had to exchange tickets for gay prizes and not cash? Gambling again. None of this is new and Vavle's cash cow is about to get taken out back and shot.

My guess this is because of recent backlash at microtransactions or the growth of their golden three has plateaued

I like to imagine that Hunt Down The Freeman also helped force Gaben to move his ass, but nah, Half-Life is dead.

Let go

I like to imagine Hunt Down The Freeman was originally Half Life 3 but then they got lazy and gave whatever unfinished build they had to the turk.

I'd rather play YGO.

...

HALF-LIFE 3 IS NOT HAPPENING. NOT NOW. NOT EVER.

Hahaha ship HL3, then we'll talk.

...

...

It's fascinating to see gaben turn into the figure that remains silent for so long that people get hyped when it's about to speak only to give the verbal equivalent of a shitpost every single time.

the idiot cut off the booing.

Who the fuck cares at this point?

Everyone has melanin, even white people, that's why everyone has brown eyes.

even people with blue and green eyes actually have brown eyes.

blue eyes are an optical illusion, and green eyes are a sign of a person being sickly because they actually have blue eyes.

...

anyone want to play Ricochet?

206.217.143.103:27015

Why don't you just use the subject field?

They're gonna try and make a fucking handheld Steambox, aren't they?

It happened, in text form. That's as good as anyone's ever gonna get.

I really don't have faith in Valve not to fuck Half-Life 3 up, I've gotta say, and I'd rather not have a Half-Life 3 at all than have a Half-Life 3 that's been bastardised.
A couple years back I started on a Half-Life 3 design document with a pipe-dream in mind of getting Valve to go "oh, we could be doing something like this instead of making [Half-Life Online/Half-Life: The Card Game/Half-Life F2P]" by mailing it into them. I put it aside with its story draft about 25% done because I wasn't entirely on top of the scope of the story, but maybe I should get back on to that design document now.

Actually, and I've posted about this a couple of times before, I think it really, really shows that Epistle 3 wasn't what Half-Life 3 was originally intended to be. Thankfully I screencapped one of my posts on the subject to send to a friend once so now I don't have to type it out over again for, like, the third time.

...

we just have to shitpost so hard that they can't ignore us

>Gordon (((Freeman))) with a mixed race love interest.
you know that Alyx is half black half asian right?

Freeman isn't a Jewish name.

...

PUT ME IN THE REDDIT SCREEN CAP

Half asian half nigger….i'm not surprised.

He's right. It's a nigger name. I remember a "white" kid in my class was so butthurt when the teacher revealed the nature of his last name kek.

Our pain is a joke to Gaben

if you're gonna do something like that, focus on the gameplay aspect. Not the story

Four games, three of which are VR.

this was really good animation wise, especially with SFM. But

Otherwise good

Most people who will purchase HL3 will be people who were too young to have played HL and HL2.

Half of the document when I left it was actually notes on the gameplay. There was a mandatory reading (playing) list as well as a long series of dot points on game design concepts the ones that Half-Life 1 and 2 had been marketed on despite their not actually appearing in either game that absolutely had to be followed for Half-Life 3.
But, no. There's going to be a "story" in a game no matter what, and what's more is that your "story" is going to be a microcosm of your game as a whole. Your "story" is what sort of environment the game takes place in, what sorts of challenges you face in that environment, and what sorts of methods you use to overcome those challenges. With that in mind, do you want your "story" to be pointless filler (which, surely needless to say, if it were feasible to do so, could and should just be cut out of the game entirely) at best and something that insults everything that's come in Half-Life before at worst, or do you want something that's actually been thought through and that actually adds on to what Half-Life has had to it so far?

Part of that question I pose is a trick, though. Half-Life is a series that prides itself on its "story," and so to make a Half-Life game with a "story" that's just pointless filler in and of itself would be to make a Half-Life game that insults what's come before it.

That game is as old as I was when I first played it.

That said I can honestly believe Gabe going fuck this and cracking the whip after 4 years of lollygagging with random VR crap and hardware shit, with the only people seemingly doing shit being the Dota/CSGO support teams, and the Source 2 guys. Especially since the incident with Hatred demonstrated that Gabe and his employees's interests might actually be in conflict.

What is necessary to pull something like Mouthness again.

Everyone have become far too far cowardly and lazy. Anything fun that comes up gets shut down by some mentally ill newhalf.

freeman is a scottish name you retards, he has red hair and green eyes for fucks sake

also he technically shows zero interest in alyx beyond saving her because she contains the information required for white forest

It's time again.

Quite certain Mark is not Mark and the new janitors think this is /a/ from cuckchan.

It hurts so much.

Thatns what you get when you take a communist approach to the management. Since therer is no hierarchy at Valve, no one can force anyone to do shit and no one gets fired. Even Gabe cannot do what he wants.

Why would you be pained when you seemingly only care for Eastern products?

The closest to a Team Fortress 3.


It's the Final Fantasy crossover, duh

Reminder that Alyx gets blown the fuck up in Half-Life 2's original ending and Episodes are one asspull after another.

Mark, and all involved, bring a few less anybody here.

Yup. Lemme just throw up another screencap of myself talking about Epistle 3.

Episodes are what was supposed to happen between the end of HL2 and Nova Prospekt. The original story line was quite long and they just recycled stuff for the episodes

Is that, by chance, the HL2 Project Beta server?

ANUUUUUU CHIKI BRIKI!

If you attempt a two day ban while I'm not paying attention. You're going to have a worse week.

They ever made games in the first place?

When will developers and publishers learn to stop imitating trends? By the time they're finished making something imitating a current trend the next trend will come along and the game will bomb hard. It happens every time.

Attached: ABSOLUTE ANGER.webm (640x358, 717.19K)

Thanks for admitting you’re wrong.

Gabe has said that even if the hardware prices are dropped by 80%, there's still no market for VR. There's a chance that they're either going to try to salvage the games by making the VR aspects optional, or just scrap the projects entirely.

It would be until VR would be fully compatible with mainstream games. Indie crap is not system selling games. First of all VR developers should stop playing with gimmicky controls and find way to play this list in VR from the couch with no handicaps using existing or tweaked gamepad.

Attached: rtyu.jpg (963x592, 168.15K)

nuValve doesn't even a proper engine, source 2 is severely outdated, so even if they wanted to create a modern game (they don't) they wouldn't be able to do it.

YEEEES

Attached: rattle.png (252x255, 66.09K)

Yeah, Resident Evil 7 did a decent job, and there's been a few examples of games like Robot Rescue on Playroom, Thumper, and Moss which show that third person can work for VR as well with traditional controls.

Why the fuck can't these developers just get it through their heads that for all the talk of "being in the game", that that sensation wears off really fucking quickly, and no amount of expensive, gimmicky, and design limiting hardware tricks is going to change that for more than about 10 minutes before it gets old and you remember that you're just playing shit demos with a TV strapped to your head.

Just give people something they can sit on their couch and enjoy like every most some other games do. And then give it head tracking so people can look around the scene. That really is all you need.

It's been over a decade and two failed add-ons since the Wii launched, and developers still largely don't have a clue as to how to make motion controls good enough to compete with a standard controller. Just fucking give it up already.

Unironically better than anything valve could offer right now.

I just want to hear them say it. No more "these things, they take time". No more "we're cooking something up". Just tell me it's dead.

I came here just to remind you guys of something
I don't know how many of you will remember this. But when Valve was groing as a company, about when HL2 and it's modded bastard children where all the talk you could find on the internet, the company also boasted it's unusual management style. It made away with hierarchies, going for a "flat" structure, where you could assemble a team however you like, and work on whatever you wanted. Needless to say, it was they jewel of the eyes of any (((journalist))) you could find.
Here are somewhat recent articles, from 2013. But I remember seeing stuff like this from early 2000's
archive.is/veT6h
archive.is/FYfhz

In other words
structure
The bane of capitalism is being so successful and tolerant that people who profit from it can bash it.

Nearly everything Valve shits out is popular, how did Ricochet never take off?

Gabe came from Microsoft, which had a top-down management system. Knowing Microsoft, his bosses were idiots and terrible leaders. Hierarchical management is needed to keep people on task, but too much of it can strangle innovation and make people feel worthless.
Management strategy has nothing to do with capitalism, retard.

(((valve)))'s latest schemes: a subscription service for in game assistance for a game with a steep learning curve that is already bleeding players
dota2.com/plus

yeah right

Yes. All of their best writers and programmers quit to work somewhere else where shit actually got done. Valve employees are allowed to do whatever they want, work on whatever project they want and get paid no matter how little gets done. Many employees complain that it's turned into high school with bullying bitches and "in-group" cliques but the ones that complain get bullied on social media by the tolerance brigade. It's all pretty well documented if anyone gives a shit to go looking for it.

why care about that when they cant even release their own games for decade
they fucking outsourced and bought csgo and dota2 devs
valve is dead, get over it

I guess the game just ricochetted right out of people's minds.

He shows no interest for anything because he's a voiceless character you retard.

Boring visuals, a ridiculous short amount of maps, repetitive gameplay. Also Ricochet was competing with dozens of other fan-made mods for HL1.

MILHOUSE IS FINALLY A MEME

It's coming but it's going to be shit

Not enough reddit memes and lootboxes.

Not nearly pointy enough.
It looks like you can sit on it if you can cope with something poking your asshole, which most certainly feels pretty good.

fucking faggots, can't even bully them without them enjoying it.

They're not going to make Half-Life 3. It will never happen. It can't happen, it will only be a disaster and Gabe knows it.

Just saying, but you could easily sit on the corner of the bench comfortably without paying any money. They fucked up by not putting spikes near the edge in the front.

Also if you really wanted to, you could just bring a hacksaw with you and cut the spikes off, there appears to be no security camera watching the bench.

THEY can't make Half-Life 3, because expectations are too high. However, there's a possible way around this. Gaben would just have to set up a guerilla team of seemingly independent "fans" to make an "unofficial HL3" with the roadmap of the story already revealed through leaks and interviews. As long as it's just decent, it'll get a lot of attention and people will be more forgiving of the game since it's just a better-than-nothing "amateur" passion project. Then Valve just has to step in after it generates a significant amount of buzz/streamers and offer to "remaster" and polish the fan project as an official/unofficial product.

If it's a massive hit, just call it canon and make it the official HL3 post-hoc. If it's a failure, just draw what shekels you can off the project and try again with a new iteration on the same product in a few years.

So if all goes well we might get a game announced in the next 4 to 5 years

I'm not a fag, just ass-honest.
