Half-Life 3 & Source Engine 2 @ E3, Source Claims
01:35 pm EDT @ June 08th, 2010
Filed under: HALF-LIFE 2, HALF-LIFE 3, VALVE, SOURCE ENGINE

Here we go again. According to an unnamed source, Valve's big E3 secret is the announcement for Half-life 3, which is reportedly running on the new Source Engine 2. The report was posted by VG247 and they claim this source said it’s possible Valve will be showing off a full sequel to critically acclaimed shooter.

Bare in mind, this is not an official confirmation. Gabe Newell, the head honcho at Valve, recently commented that the developer does not plan to show Half-life 2: Episode Three,laying a lot of rumors on the subject to rest.

So, yeah, although it officially isn't Ep. 3, now it seems like it may actually be Half-life 3.

While such news would be pure awesome sauce, I'd advise you to treat the information with caution. We await Valve's confirmation on this.

Source.

Here's some pessimism: even if it's HL3 announcement, that doesn't mean that the game is getting released in the next two years or so.
  Vader: Now I feel like I'm going to vomit, but thanks.
__nox__: I already told you Vader - that game is gonna hurt you bad

I want to add to your pessimism:

And we all know that in 2 years the world will end, so HL3 will never be released.

So, who cares about any over bloated ID engine now... Yes Source 2 won't be quite as visually stunning, but at least you'll be able to make intelligent/fun games out of it, rather than having an engine where 90% of it is attempting to get the mip mapping on lenticular apexed angles absolutely correct, when you spend 15hrs checking...
  Vader: More importantly, it will work on whatever rig you have righ...

Congratulations Valve, you win at pre-E3 marketing. Now shut up, so we can wait for the actual fucking announcement, instead of being bombarded with speculation.

Told you guys.

I told you it would be a full-length game, with a drastically upgraded engine. It was always the most logical assumption, after this long of a development cycle.

Fucking told you.

FOR YEARS NOW.

edit: okay but seriously though, I shouldn't proclaim victory just yet, of course... we'll see what happens
