It looks like Valve is back at it
again with tease its fan base about upcoming releases. Valve just stated that
it has three big announcements. Their teaser site currently has a countdown,
which ends on Monday. What these announcements are anyone’s guess, but the
saying it has three is leading something to think it could be tied to its
Half-Life or Left 4 Dead
It is widely known that Valve is expanded the Steam platform to the living room with the use of Big Picture mode. To use the mode, the player has to have their PC hooked up to their TV. Valve had stated before that it wished to get into the console market and bring Steam to a new market. These announcements could be just that, Valve expanding on their console and letting users take a peek at it. However, leave it to Valve to pull the strings on its users and tease them with the use of the number three. They have done this in the past with the number two, so it's fitting that they do it again.
I too am one of those fans excitedly
waiting any word on Half-Life 3 or Left 4 Dead 3. At this point, Valve has my
full attention, and I will be spamming refresh on the teaser website. If they
go the route of releasing more details about their console project then I may
be slightly disappointed, but then excited again about a dedicated console just
for Steam.
Valve is one of those rare companies
that can keep quiet for so long, then the instant they say something, the internet
explodes. I hope Valve stays strong for a long time, and they keep releasing
high quality games that are not watered down by constant sequels that constantly
milk those cash cows. If you have never had the opportunity to play either
Half-Life or Left 4 Dead, I highly recommend that you do so. Those games are
the ones players will continue talking about until the world's end.
