Valve Has Big Surprises Ready for the New Year
Gabe Newell, head honcho over at Valve, has admitted to being fairly “outspoken” about the current generation of consoles, but he was quick to repent when faced with a couple hundred angry Sony fans. Luckily, he arrived at Sony’s conference bearing gifts, showing off the first gameplay footage of Portal 2 and announcing that Steamworks would be a part of the PS3 game. Your comments are forgiven, friend.
It looks like Gabe Newell still has a couple of negatives to work on though, starting with the incessant teasing. Speaking with PC Gamer, Newell just couldn’t resist baiting us on what Valve has been working on and plans to reveal.
“I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn’t going to stop any time soon. I’m just laughing because… people will be shocked again,”
Gabe Newell then added:
“We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least.”
Could one of them be Episode 3 by any chance, Gabe? Although I guess that’s not particularly surprising given Valve’s relentless teasing! A real surprise would be Half Life 3, or maybe some exclusive PS3 content to make up for the years of wounds. GLaDOS x Tekken x Steet Fighter maybe? We can only hope.

Not…getting…my…money.
Do I smell L4D2 or L4D3????? Joking, I know I wouldn’t mind seeing this hit PS3. I guess we will have to wait and see what these big surprises will be for the NEW YEAR.
He’s going on a diet. SURPRISE!!!!
i am sure this whole attitude change coming over valve has much more to do with the impressive number of sales the ps3 has seen over the last year and the attachment rate there in. Want my ps3 money, work much harder and try apologizing without making it sound so insincere.
Portal 3 will be exclusively for PS3..?
Too many people take the business side of gaming too seriously. Valve has years of brilliance, but because they didn’t want to work on PS3, people catch feelings and ignore any future projects from them. I agree, some ignorant comments came from their camp previously, but what does that have to do with me? They didn’t disrespect me personally and I know they make some damn good games. Silly folks can miss out if they want.
All i want is latest Counter strike on PS3
@Kwiet, if you are refering to me, i did say “my ps3 money”. meaning money i intend to spend on ps3 games. not pc games, i know valve makes awesome games, mainly pc games. when/if episode 3 drops, i will get it, for the pc of course.
No, I wasn’t referring to you. I’m talking about the cheerleaders/fanboys who worship the PS3 god. You’re obviously different since you know and acknowledge Valves accomplishments.
@Kwiet, after Half-Life however many years ago, it is hard not to acknowledge what valve can and has done. not to mention world craft and the many many tools they have given the mod community. i do like valve, but they really should think before they speak.
episode 3, for gods sake. just do et already.
