Source 2/Half-Life 3 Rumor [Jun 08, 2010, 8:49 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
VG247 reports a rumor that Valve's E3 surprise will be the announcement of the Source Engine 2. They attribute this to a "VG247 source," who wishes to remain anonymous. Their source also suggests the possibility this will be shown off running Half-Life 3, showing even rumors can bury the lede.
So, this "surprise" announcement..
- is not of interest to XBox or PS3 users
- is not Episode 3
- is rumoured by an anonymous source that it will be Source 2 / HL3
- will not announced by Gabe, as he won't be at e3
I find it hard to reconcile the Source 2 rumour with the statement that it will be of no interest to console users. It would be an odd move for a company of Valve's size to go PC-exclusive on their next big engine launch. That just doesn't add up to me.
Personally, I'd love to see a new "Orange Box" style product containing;
- Half Life 3
- Black Mesa Source
- Portal 2
I think it's probably a given at this point that Ep3 is no more, and has been rolled up into a hypothetical HL3.
