I wouldn't meh here. I'm really interested in what source 2 will be able to do. the only game with it (dota) is just a straight port so I'd like to see a tech demo hopefully this year.

would be really nice if source2 had better development tools

Newell: Valve in development on 3 new VR games

As part of a press briefing at Valve's office in Seattle today, company founder Gabe Newell has been discussing the state of the company and its foray into VR, confirming three new VR-specific games in development at Valve.

Talking to a number of press outlets, including Gamasutra, as part of a detailed roundtable on VR at Valve, Newell explained of Valve's foray into the space with the VIVE - and continued hardware experimentation:

"So one of the questions you might ask us is 'Why in the world are we making hardware?' So right now, we're building 3 VR games. And what we can do now is to be designing hardware at the same time that we're designing software. This is something that Miyamoto has always had, right?"

Newell continued: "[Miyamoto] has had the ability to think about what the input devices & the design of systems should be like while he's trying to design games. Our sense is that that's going to allow us to actually build much better entertainment experiences for people."

"So the idea isn't like oh - we suddenly thought we could make more money by building hardware - because hardware's actually traditionally been a lousy low-margin business."

Newell & team did later confirm to Gamasutra that these were not smaller experiments, but intended to be new game titles, as opposed to the vignette-style demonstrations shown in Valve's The Lab.

Gamasutra was present at multiple panels as part of this briefing, and will be posting more detailed stories on Valve's current strategy and work from Newell & colleagues in the near future.

Dude, who cares at this point what Valve does?
I'm not trying to be edge or whatever, but really they've been a non-entity in the gaming world, as a game producer anyway, for how many years?
I'm actually somewhat convinced that the theft of the HL2 source code was an inside job.
I was basically utterly let down by HL2 and their what, 2 expansions in a decade and a half?
I didn't even play the expansions, each an hour and a half episode. My buddy did.
They can't churn out episodes fast enough to keep the community interested, and their tech, while awesome, is just tech.

I just... I don't see any real allure to seeing anything they might produce.

A terse 'yes' to a question of 'are you working in a single-player' game is meaningless. I'm sure they've been working on HL3 for a decade.

Looks like he was probably referring to VR crap, anyway.
