Portal 2 coming to the PlayStation 3 with Steam support was Valve's big E3 surprise earlier this year. It wasn't, to most gamers' dismay, the reveal of Half-Life 3 or even Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Hang tight, because there are more surprises in store. Three of 'em.
"I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do," Valve's Gabe Newell told PC Gamer. "That isn't going to stop any time soon. I'm just laughing because … people will be shocked again."
"We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least," he adds.
Valve has recently trademarked Defense of the Ancients, prompting speculation that an updated version of the real-time strategy games is imminent. And one has to wonder what Gordan Freeman has been up to these days…

More Portal 2/L4D/TF2 DLC as well I hope, but that's pretty standard and I wouldn't class that as a big suprise.
Portal 3
Half Life 3 ... in thirty years. They gotta fine tune everything.
A new IP unrelated to the HL universe aaaaand an updated Counterstrike on said new engine.
Please. Pretty Please.
Ahh...
But I like the idea of a new engine, with Episode 3 becoming a full game (which I would completely pay for). I would humor Gabe with my surprise just to see it happen.
HHHHHHNNNNNNNNNGG
TF3 is a no no i mean they finaly got a class update for every class why make a new game when people have everything?
I suspect its guna be hl2:ep3, (hopfly not)lfd3 and a new ip or a new game the last new one as alien swarm but that was free and just a better graphicd and diffrent engined mod.
Or they will say they are thinking of making a new game idea
Counter Strike 2
Left for Dead 3
Black Box 2012
... Valve time.
Anything else, i don't care about. Half Life sucks, but something Portal-related i MIGHT be interested in...
Yet.
Nothing is ever explained. Who does the G-Man work for? Why City 17? What is the whole point to any of this?
No one will see it coming. No one except Shael.
So ok maybe a new Orange box, a new IP game and possibly Half life Episode 3.
Half-life 3
Source 2.0
I'm calling it. You heard it here first folks.
Also Team Fortress 3/Defense of the Ancients thing
Also Team Fortress 3/Defense of the Ancients thing
Would kick ass, just saying.
Episode Three will drop in December (Ice=Christmas)
DoTA god knows what
MOtiv will be a new engine that will let developers put a lot more immersion into their FPS games, so the game doens't feel like a camera running, but rather a Gears of War like shooter in First Person (but of course, without all the shit that making a F-TPS game means, like the gun being off screen and moving around too much)
2. No Half Life 3, ever. SURPRISE! :D
3. Free hats.
