Valve teases 'Something with a Three'

TheMailMan78 · Dec 15, 2011

Shacknews has reported today Valve's Gabe Newell announced they will debut "something with a three in it" at E3 2012 in an e-mail to 4Chan. With almost all of Valve's franchises up for a third installment its anyone's guess what "three" it is. If rumors around the internet are to be believed we are in for another run in with Dr. Freeman. The world is truly coming to an end in 2012.

If I had to guess, it'll be Left for Dead 3.

awww.... c'mon! yes, he has a problem with weight, but what would Valve be without him?
Valve is one of a few companies that still truly cares about PC gaming and, if anything, we should show our support for them.

Take your pick, you can choose 1 of the 3.

Left 4 Dead 3, Portal 3, Team Fortress 3

Portal 2.3
lol

Half Life 2: Episode 3
Half Life 3
Three (working title)

There is that Counter Strike: Global Offensive title, they could just say... they decided to call it Counter Strike 3 (CS 1.x, CS:S this would be 2, CS:GO this would be 3).

Hopefully with a hefty Source Engine update also.

Team fortress thr33!!!

Valve...god help you if its left for dead or portal 3....

I need my freeman fix!

gottimw · Dec 15, 2011

Did anyone had a look at that pic?

The only letter/word 3 in it is in the name of E3, where the hell do you see him hinting at game with number 3?

And if it was so than it must be either episode 3 or HL3, tf2 cant go 3 (why they milk loads of money plus still working on it) portal 3? really the second just came out not to mention DLC! there was literally no time for it (plus the ending was evident of no more portal games)
L4D3 - sounds improbable but maybe.

Red_Machine · Dec 15, 2011

They already released a teaser for Left 4 Dead 3!

@gottimw ... Did you read the source link?

PC Gamer reports that Gabe Newell reportedly replied to a 4chan e-mail with, "I don't suppose it would ease your wrath if I told you we're announcing all of your favorite things at E3 2012?" Deciding that wording was "confusing," he then said, "Yes, we are announcing something with a three in it."

TF2 can go 3 - Its already been quoted a release date for 2015 - I know its been in the works for a while so i was hoping for some good news and that they would have it ready soon.

But in a sense i do feel a little butthurt about the fact that they made TF2 free to play when almost everyone out there bought it from steam or with orange box.

I dont think they gave the players enough to compensate us asside from the fact that people on the free account/game cant use weapons that are traded from a guy who bought his game

ironwolf · Dec 15, 2011

I believe I saw on another site a week or two ago someone wearing a shirt that hinted at Half Life 3.

Aha, here: http://kotaku.com/5864573/half+life-3-t+shirt-confirmed-but-that-is-all

Pandora's Box · Dec 15, 2011

If its not Half-Life 3 Valve can probably expect an angry mob at their headquarters asking for gabes head.

Kreij · Dec 15, 2011

The real question is "WTF is Gabe doing on 4chan?" :laugh:

TheMailMan78 · Dec 15, 2011

My money is on Half Life 3.

cadaveca · Dec 15, 2011

Where's erocker? He was compaining last week about the whole HL3 shirt @ lanparty thing, now it turns out there might have actually been some substance to things? CLASSIC!

Steevo · Dec 15, 2011

I want HL3 for the new year so I can play for three days straight.

jalex3 · Dec 15, 2011

lL4D3... gabe said it was coming "fast". No way they would release TF3 with so much life in TF2.

As for HL3.... .....

If it's L4D3 or Portal 3 I will cry. Then get mad. Then cry some more.

Especially if L4D3. Who gives a shit about another zombie shooter ffs.
