This happened because gaming journalism is a joke. If anyone had looked into it at all they would have known that it was a talk about physics being done by someone from Valve, not a big Valve GDC press conference to announce anything. The original screenshot of the schedule literally said it was only a presentation on physics, the only way you could possibly misinterpret it is if you didn’t bother to do any research at all and instead just believed internet forum hearsay.

Honestly I think it’s almost there. I have been working on that for years and officially announcing it should mean that they are not only close but about to release it. And they are still against developer and I’m sure they’ve been working on something. Personally I think it’s more likely it’s the new left 4 dead, simply because they are pretty easy to make, at least in concept…to make a proper left for dead sequel you only need to iterate on the formula. Sure there a new survivors to write new infected to make up and of course new levels to design but the core concept is clear. Half Life on the other hand is a really big deal and considering the jump between the first and the second there’s no telling where they could go with the third.
The optimist in me would say that they will announce a game this year. They want to roll all of this out within 2015 and why would they ship an engine without a game to show it off? Surely they have a killer app somewhere….

I kinda think so, the engine is complete or is it not?

Your first paragraph is entirely correct, however you completely missed the point of my original comment, which was that they would still be holding a newsworthy press conference (it’s called the Game Developer Conference after all) about Vulkan later in the week despite not having one on the 3rd.

It says…
“It turns out the confused 3pm “event” is actually a game physics presentation from Valve programmer Sergiy Migdalskiy that aims at teaching “fundamental elements and practical considerations for using collision detection and physics simulations in games””

A presentation is not the same as a press conference. A press conference shows off stuff to the press. The presentation is not for the press, it is for other developers. The presentation is basically to teach other developers what they know about physics calculations for games and means nothing to “normal” people.

You mean the article that indicates that there wouldn’t be any press conference from Valve at GDC 2015 at all?

They are just finishing Source 2, so unless they made the game alongside the engine it is built on…

I don’t think Valve really cares about the HL franchise right now. If they’re working on it, they’re doing it via slow-boat. Clearly their most important focus right now is the Steam Machine and the physics engine. If anything, Newell sounds bored whenever Half Life is brought up in interviews. There’s a distinct tone of “Ok, that’s the past, we’ve got more interesting things going on” when he addresses the subject of HL.

“big mix up” = 3 words = hl3 confirmed

allright. heres legit proof hl3 will come.
1: gaben likes money
2: hl3 has more hype than any other game (approx)
3: it will generate so much money, that gabe will feel satisfied.
4: does it profit? yes.
5: what does that mean? gabe will make the game, because it generates money. its like five nights at freddy. only making the sequels because of the money.

May I ask where you got that info? Type Half Life 3 voice actor and you get a flood of similar titles as this: Valve voice actor says Half-Life 3 not in development.

I heard that they (Valve) interviewed over two dozen French mimes for the role before they found the perfect one….he was uncredited due to refusing to tell them his name…
