There are two things that Valve fans are impatiently waiting for. Â One is the next iteration of the Source Engine. Â The other is Half Life 3, and these fans may just have gotten the first off the cuff details of both from none other than Gabe Newell.
4Chan’s /v/ board decided to pay Newell a visit on his birthday, where they played a little prank on him as shown in the video above. Â Afterwards, Gabe decided to field fan questions. Â While he outwardly said he wouldn’t be talking about Half Life 3, he did confirm that the company has been working on Valve’s new engine for a while.
So when is that next engine coming? Â Gabe explained that his company is waiting for a game to roll it out with. Â Being such a highly anticipated game, this is leading many to think that Half Life 3 will not only bring back the popular franchise, but will be a showcase for Valve’s new engine when the game does finally arrive.
Valve has been super secretive about Half Life 3 up to this point, and the last we heard about the game was all the way back in April.
