During a media roundtable at the Valve’s Bellevue, Washington office, Gabe Newell revealed that Valve is currently working on three full VR games. According to Newell, these won’t be mere tech demos, but rather full VR games.
As Newell said:
“When I say we’re building three games, we’re building three full games, not experiments.”
In addition, Newell claimed that Valve right now loves the PC platform a lot, which is why it will most likely stay exclusive to it.
We get really frustrated working in walled gardens,” said Newell during the media roundtable and continued.
“There have been cases where we’ve updated products 5-6 times in a day. When we did the original iOS of Steam App, right, we shipped it, we got a whole bunch of feedback and like the next day we’re ready to do an update. We weren’t able to get that update out for six months! And we couldn’t find out why they wouldn’t release it! They wouldn’t tell us. This is the life that you have in these environments. And finally they shipped it! And they wouldn’t tell us why they finally shipped it.”
Gabe Newell concluded that Valve loves the PC a lot right now. And before you say it… no; this does not mean that there will be a Half-Life 3.

half life 3 confirmed
THREE games, did you hear guys? THREE games!
so they CAN count to three
One of them isnt half life 3
The other one will never come out
As for the final one? That is obviously ricochet 2
But I don’t want VR games, I want PC games…
wouldnt bve surprised if it were hybrid games aka playable with or without VR
VR games are PC games.
Yeah, and console games are PC games because I can emulate them…
no you cant
We’re all in an emulator, man.
Sim, emulator, same diff. Why am I typing this back to you, you are not even real!
How can math be real if our i’s are not real?
It’s impossible to emulate console games on a PC?
Yes he’s just full of bs, you can emulate some older games as far as I know but you can’t emulate PS4 game for example.
VR games are games? Aren’t they all techdemos with mobile phone level gameplay?
Nah Dirt Rally for example is the one I heard it’s great example of VR title.
Nope. VR is everywhere. Even phones…
hey man if you can move in vr, which is doable, you can make a full game with optional vr.
Soooo….. p*rn?
Edit: “p*rn” gets flared up? For site called “DarkSide Of Gaming” it feels more like I have to wait for me mum’s approval to post anything. “Mother’s Approval Side of Gaming” It doesn’t have that edgy feel does it.
Google flags DSoG, DSoG have to mod comments.
Is that simple.
I don’t understand. Does Google have this site by the b*lls?
No the balls have Google by the…wait a minute
Google has the whole world by the b4lls.
They clearly mean, “needs to suck the life out of VR, right now”.
This guy talks about walled gardens like he does not own the Biggest Walled Garden in terms of just selling games on PC now…
And the worst part is he sold out the Half Life Fan base for a more popular Moba series. A real shame to. I hope it tears him apart knowing the latest Doom sold over a million copies on PC so far on Steam alone..
Love the PC? How about HL3 because nobody gives a f’k about VR right now
dota is more profitable, if me or you were in his place, we’d see the profit and do the same, don’t know about others but i like to have more money
There’s so much that’s wrong with your logic in all you’ve stated.
My logic is fine valve is nothing more than a company that just wants to make money selling games now
Another ignorant statement bearing no relation to the facts. Perhaps you’re trying to troll the site in a peculiar way by posting a stream of endlessly incorrect assertions.
Not at all. People act like Steam is all that and some… Steam sales are just like sales at stores from days past… Only you did not have DRM
You’re definitely trolling the site because the stream of nonsense from you seemingly never ends.
Nope I just remember when Steam was not a thing…
VR garbage pass
Wow he actually said number 3 :-O
He’s human and people usually use 3 a lot
you obviously dont get the joke….
This stopped being funny 7 years ago. How much longer will you people think this is funny

They love PC gaming a lot now! I am sure, especially since opening the floodgates and completely removing any resemblance of quality control from steam. They must be swimming in money made out of selling games that are more worthless than sewage.
I enjoy that too as well as major early access scams that never leave program such as DayZ, H1, and ARK
hey fck you dude, there are so many youtubers that make money by showing off those horrible trash on their videos, have some respect for the youtubers who make money by showing those trash. 😀

HL 3 exclusive to VR? For the first time i hope they don’t announce it.
“full games”
what is a full game exactly? Eg is a dota clone a “full game”
and will any of those games come out before the financial collapse?
VR …Fukc Yea, Great news!
It was pretty obvious whatever they were working on it was to push their Vive headset… One of those is Portal 3.
“Valve is working on three…”
NOT THIS AGAIN
At last!
So…. Were getting “PC games” don’t you mean “teleport-to-spot-and-wave-with-arms-games”?
VR -games-? What’s that?
3 VR games.. and they haven’t made anything new in years. Good, Valve is officially dead to me. I guess ill have to wait 10 more years for a normal game out of them.. if the VR craze ever ends that is.
Oh well… time for some more TF2 and Dota 2 then.
Only way I’ll buy into current gen VR is if one of those games happens to be Virtual Reality Half Life 3!
Dear Valve all we want is Half-Life 3: A Theoretical Physicist End.
im just being real, some people are showing some fake **** with their bs
VR??Valve Resurrection???
