"Bummer" (look at tags) is right. The sad, sad truth is that Valve is probably Left 4 dead 3. (It's a joke)

EDIT: Oh, and Gabe Newell probably ate all of the prototypes for the games they were going to announce. (It's a joke)

And here i was hoping for Portal 3

D*mn. Was hoping to hear about some Half-Life News.

Bummer indeed.

Disappointing. I was hoping for at least a Half-Life 3 teaser but that would be too fast for Valve.

Why would they? Unless they announce HL3, they have nothing to show off.

Valve's too cool for school, fool.

There is no reason for them to attend.

They're too busy with their snack bar.

Dang...hope they are working on a good game for next years E3.

Not too surprised. Portal 2 just shipped. I'd have been surprised if they WERE showing something. Valve releases are usually infrequent. At best. Some games just never get released...

It kind of sucks, but than agian you know they are hard at work on a game that is sure to be amasing.

Its understandable. With Portal 2's launch being roughly a month old and the only new game they have, to my understanding, is DOA2. They probably have nothing to show. Yet, if they wanna be sneaky they can, but it only makes me suspicious........WHATYA DOIN' VALVE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I'm getting really pissed. Last year there should be a event at the E3 or right before it and it was cancelled and I don't think it would have just been the announcement of Portal 2 coming to the PS3 they eventually did at the Sony pressconference, I was expecting Half Lie 3. Some days ago I read that they got rid of the episodic format, so there probably won't be episode 3 and it seriously, it would be way too late for just episode 3. Recently I also read that they don't plan a Source Engine 2 because the Source Engine can be updated to keep the graphics up to date... that's a f*** LIE, neither Left 4 Dead nor Portal 2 are graphically stunning games like most of the Sony exclusives, Crysis 2, Epic games etc. My patience is getting at its limit.

:(

hopfully this means they are working hard on half life 3 for nexts years show.

Just like David Jaffe WASN'T working on Twisted Metal and he WASN'T at E3 last year? ;) When it comes to E3, I barely believe anything anymore.

No freaking way Valve, come on....  anyway hope they really doing Half Life .

Silly people, Valve is too busy making hats for Team Fortress 2. They have 200 (est.) people. 10 work on one game, 10 work on another. The rest make hats.

Hopefully this is because they are too busy working on Half-Life 3!
