Valve announces a surprise for E3 2010

Dear Subject Name Here,
Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.
If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.
Thank you for [RECORD SCRATCH!!!]
PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.

Maybe the announcement of Half-Life Episode 3 :O (release date, maybe?)

 

[Darth]

Wow, awesome, cant wait!

 

[Dont Kill The Medic]

Ep3 ep3 ep3 ep3 ^^^^^^^^^ :d

 

[Putty]

Maybe it's the CSS update?

 

[Ducttape]

L4D3!

c'mon Orange Box II!

L4D3!

nah, just kidding.

c'mon Orange Box II!

Hah, agreed.

 

[Dont Kill The Medic]

Hate to say it, but L4D3 is (very) possible. The 2nd was only a year after the 1st, so who's to say the 3rd couldn't be around the corner? Possible but not Probable. HL2:Ep3 (fingers crossed)

 

[Zero711]

Team Fortress 4

It's not even remotely possible. I don't feel like finding these sources, but L4D2 was to allow them to be able to do more with the engine/game. And they've said it'll be about 2-3 years for the next one(GameSpot interview I think).

I might try to find the sources, I'll edit if I do.

This explains (some of) it: [ame]http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/left4dead/video/6238431/gabe-newell-behind-left-4-dead-2-and-beyond-interview[/ame]

7:02+ explains the 2-3 year part.

Least likely, the TF2 360 update. Improbably L4D3. Improbably a new game series. Improbably another TF2 update. Probably Episode 3(and hopefully)
Because Portal 2 was ruled out automatically, that's about all they're working on(or all they say they're working on) so yeah.

 

[Split]

Team Fortress 4

team fortress is so good, it doesnt need a 3rd sequel

 

[e MpTy]

The surprise is World Of Half Life - WoHL

An mmo based on half life partnered with World Of Warcraft lol

 

[-King.exe]

Woo! Portal!

I'm hoping that an updated version of TF2 for the 360 will come out with Portal 2....I doubt it though, Valve hates the consoles.

Ever thought of the idea of 3d game, motion controlled game, or steam computer?
