Half Life 3 confirmed
Unfortunately, it's a new game probably named Deadlock. Not hl3.
- What's deadlock?
  
  A leaked MOBA/hero shooter, designed by the Dota 2 designer, that they had been running playtests on.
A new hero shooter just does not sound interesting to me, even if it is valve…
- TF3. BAM.
  
  TF was basically the original hero shooter anyway. What is it missing, Ults? Medic even had that, it's called ubercharge.
  
  I've been waiting a long time for Titan Fall 3. That's what you mean right? It couldn't be anything else could it? Definitely not.
- If it could fill the void left by Overwatch 1 being taken out back and shot, I'll play it.
  
  It's really really good, you'll like it :)
- It's a hero shooter/MOBA and IceFrog (DotA designer) is working on it. That's enough on top of the Valve factor to at least make me curious, even though I otherwise share your sentiment.
  
  Man, I remember the days when IceFrog was this new name that had appeared out of nowhere to revive 5.84c.
Finally! A new Day of Defeat!
- I would genuinely love that
Isn’t TF2 a hero shooter?
- It's kinda funny since overwatch was being thought of as a tf2 come back in the days.
- TF2 is probably being left as it is for a long time
Peggle 3 confirmed
- Isn't popcap EA these days.
Half Life 3: Deadlock confirmed
I've heard the explanation that they're not working on the half life series because they want to have bigger leaps in innovation, but then they work on a moba/hero shooter.
- They're not working on the half life series because there's no way they'll ever live up to the hype that's built up. Best to let sleeping dogs lie.
  
  They have all the talent, budget and time they would ever need. No amount of hype will ever detract from a good game. Hell even cyberpunk managed to stay afloat after a disastrous launch and will be remembered positively by people that played the patched versions. I don't believe the hype thing either.
  
  "We outsourced development of Episode 3 to finish telling the story."
  
  Easy way to finish the arc while squashing hype.
A landing of Covenant troop carriers at Disney World also could be coming soon.
It's time for Prospero to finally shine, nearly 30 years later!
I've been playing the playtest version and I find the game is just okay. It's basically exactly like Dota but 3rd person and with movement mechanics like dashing/slide/double jump. It feels and looks great but there's just so much going on that it feels like I'm constantly missing something. I think the skill ceiling will be incredibly high.
Half Life 3

I want Valve to finish their Trinity. Lololololol
- Monkey paw:
  
  Half Life 3 is basically a reskin of overwatch. There is no story mode.
who tf asked for another overwatch clone.
- Overwatch did not invent playing a character that has abilities on a cooldown. It's much more like fast-paced dota with guns.
- DOTA: protect the package.
inb4 Half Life: Barney - a card game with eggregious MTX
- You mean this?
