This is most likely for HL3.

>It was definitely a Portal experience, but perhaps it was nothing more than a tech demo. I find that a little hard to believe, though. This wasn't just a technical showcase with beautiful graphics - it had the hilarious, high-end script and acting of a finished article. If it was just a tech showcase, it's the most polished one I've ever seen, but I'm standing by my guess that this is the opening of Portal 3, and that the full game will finally get an announcement very soon.
It'd be weird to have a fully scripted tech demo just for a VR demo, wouldn't it? Every other VR demo is just an environment to interact with.
>>285587304
Valve doesn't half ass when it comes to making money.

>>285587576
They do, but seriously, why bother doing that for a tech demo? It's not like journalists/anyone else who sees this wouldn't be immediately blown away by it already. Shit, people freak out when they play HL2 in VR. Why wouldn't they just put you into some Portal or Portal 2 levels?
>yfw HL3 and Portal 3 are one game
>>285583798
That guy says it doesn't cause motion sickness. Is that possible?

Dude...
>>285588289
valve was the one who worked with oculus to reduce motion sickness in their prototypes
>>285588472
They do spend a lot of time on TF2, those SFM videos they do require a lot of work.
>>285588067

Because at the risk of sounding stupid, you have to help unimaginative people visualize new conceptual spaces. You can't just give a caveman a smartphone, you have to demonstrate all the shit that it can do. When most people concern themselves with VR, they think about walking around in a 3D environment and thats it. The fleshed out tech demo helped people come to understand the potential of VR simulating better than if they were just given a blank room or a generic setting.
Hey, /v/. Did you know that the cake is a lie?
*Laughter*
>>285588752
Considering that you'd need to be able to turn around, I'd imagine you'd have to sit in an office chair, while she sucks your dick from one of these for maximum rotational mobility
>>285589371https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjdxragMip4
>>285588659
...what SFM videos?
They haven't released one since the short that was supposed to be for Adult Swim with Ms Pauling?
>>285588746
>now try to claim everything related to Valve is hinting at HL3
dude, people have literally been doing this for the past decade
>>285589643
A near 30 minute source film like that would take about a few thousand work hours.
Will I be able to play the VR developed games without a VR headset? Not going to lie, the Portal games were good. But fuck the community.
>>285589845
But its not fucking game content
A 15 minute short that took like a year and a half to make is nice and all, but its not fucking game content
If they wanna drop out of the vidya industry and make animations, then they should fucking do it rather than being one of the richest devs out there, leave their games to squander and say "We were just putting all our resources into an SFM short for a project that fell through"
>>285590186
There was also DOTA 2 and the amount of money Valve invested into making that the game it is, same with CSGO.
That's all this is, a promotion for a product they're selling.
I really want to believe L4D3 will be this year. :_;

So, the first game for Source 2 is going to be Portal 3? What aboutF-STOP?
>>285586376
>implying I dont have a gamer boyfriend who plays that shit with me
>>285583798
Do we even know if this guy has finished Portal 2?
>>285585702
kool
>>285591480
>not wanting something completely new
given that they're supposed to be these hippy commune of developers they sure don't have a lot of ideas for games
I'd be happy with Ricochet 2 so I can go derrez people
>>285592097
He described a scene that was not in any other Portal game, so it was assuredly not Portal 2.
>>285592097
Is a new stage in Aperture Science it was rumor that Valve was trying to revive Project F-STOP.
Belive me when I tell you F-STOP is perfect gameplay for VR.
>>285588289
>Playtesters complain about motion sickness in Portal 2
>Valve removes all jumping puzzles
Portal 3 is going to be completely static. You just sit in a room and listen to Glados
>a bunch of companies getting tricked that strapping screens on your face is VR
PLEASE NO
>>285592484
That was the original idea for Portal 2 if you remember Geoff Keighley's Portal 2 Last Hours.
>>285585702
>HL1 was a physics demo
What did they show off? Colored lightmaps?

>>285587304
I should be happy right now, I love Portal.
Why is all I can feel anger and despair? Why do they have to go through hoops to release everything but Half-Life 3?
>>285595154
>Aperture proposes advanced AI and instant transfer technology

>>285588746
But we already know Half-Life 3 is going to involve Aperture science.

>>285596246
We wouldn't have airplanes if it wasn't for crazy mother fuckers, Anon, you just think about that now.
>>285596395
>Why is this thread in a fucking sticky?
It's not.
>>285583690
Portal spin off ?
wouldn't mind
>>285593986
Did you know the handles are called finger guards? You are supposed to put your hands on the inside of them.
>>285597016
More like a crossover VR tech demo.
>>285596852
That doesn't mean every crazy idea works out well.
>>285594274

>Ricochet 2
it all makes sense now
Did Tom Parsons fuck up Valve's marketing or this is just another intelligent ARG?
>>285597330
The portal gun worked out well, the ai thing not so much.
Out of all the articles and tweets talking about the Vive demo set in portal, this is actually the most accurate one.
A VR demo, set in portal. No speculation or straight out assumption that it IS in fact portal 3, but only the facts + "It's incredible".
I've already seen two articles and a video saying that it was portal 3 in the demo and now we have threads talking about PORTAL 3 CONFIRMED. What is happening to the world?
>>285592443
Then what is it?
>>285598126
Is a Tech Demo set in Aperture Science with maybe old code from F-STOP. If possible it opens the doors for a Portal 3 or a Portal VR expiernce.
>>285598464

>>285598970
>the fucking playtesters didn't like it because it wasn't the portal gun
Valve needs to find a higher quality of playtesters.
>>285596852
but the airplane inventor is a chill, sane motherfucker. what are you saying?
>>285598970
neither one of those fucking links explained what F-stop is
>>285599417
F-stop was basically a camera, it was like a portal but it changed what was seen through it to another version of the room
>>285599301
>Santos
>sane
Nig pls
>>285599242
Well I have to give that one to the playtesters. How do you call a game Portal 2 without a portal gun. Now if the game was called Aperture Science Walk Simulator then I'm all good with f-stop.
>It's incredible.
Sure it is Keighley. Sure it is.
>>285599417
F-stop is a game mechanic that uses the First Person View as a controller. Your view angle decides what part of the story you want to interact; you can use the NPCs around you to open doors and help you to solve puzzles. Think of Portal 2 Co-op but with Bots.
>>285599665
>selling the Last Hours of Portal VR already

>>285600592
*Final Hours
Seriously, why do people still cling to HL3? Was Duke Nuken failure not enough to see that no one will live up to the hype? Valve doesn't even produce games anymore, they just take a copy of a already existing game and make their own version, do you remember how long ago was the release of TF2? Or how long it goes between updates? They have no reason to ever release this game since they are already making money with their store, the most they can do is tease so retards are attracted to steam
>>285601206
>le hurr durr Duke Nukem comparison
If you still think it's a valid comparison then you clearly don't know or understand why that game failed.

Seriously, why do people still cling to the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed game series of all time?
the mind BOGGLES, I tell you

THAT EXPLAINED NOTHING
NOTHIIIIING
>>285601841
It's a camera, dude
Daily reminder that HL3 will be announced on Thursday. Valve has another presentation. 10:00am-11:00am: glNext (now named Vulkan): The Future of High Performance Graphics (Presented by Valve)
>>285601206
>Was Duke Nuken failure not enough to see that no one will live up to the hype
Who the fuck care about Duck Nukem
> OH THIS GAME THAT CAME OUT FOUR YEARS AGO WAS SHIT THAT MEANS EVERY OTHER GAME EVER WILL BE SHIT.
I don't give a fuck about Half-Life either, but you're the cancer killing vidya.
This is F-stop, basically
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS4r9Fq3beU
>>285601617
HL2 only got critically acclaimed because of the graphics and physics. The gameplay was worse than in HL1 and the story is so incredibly bland that it simply doesn't warrant a sequel.
Valve should just make an original shooter, not another rehash.
>>285601841
You want me to explain an unused game mechanic that was trash by the devs because the playtesters hate it the idea of a Portal walking simulator just a The Stanley Parable. Yeah good luck with that. :^)
>>285602103
>Who the fuck care about Duck Nukem
I guess you weren't on /v/ when the Duke Nuke Forever hype was in full swing?
>>285602286
And how is Duke Nukem Forever's failure somehow relater to Half-Life, outside of a retarded canon ?
>>285602669
Where did I say anything about that?
>>285583690
dewrito pope is full of shit
>>285602814
Dewrito Pope is close friends with Our Lord Gaben watch your mouth.
For those wondering, F-Stop was a function in which the player would effectively phase through to different "dimensions" but within the same room, with altered physics or time etc. Some elements of the puzzles would react completely differently, some walls might not be there or might be gates or suchlike.
I hope Portal 3 isn't a thing. Portal 2's ending was fine. There's no reason to make a sequel, at least this soon. L4D is the only one I could see (besides HL) that would benefit from another game right now. CS:GO and TF2 are still making money (and Dota 2) and Portal 2 is Valve's newest single player game and had a decent ending by itself. L4D has room for new mechanics, like better AI, better destruction, etc and Half Life is Half Life.
>>285602202
There are many more (justified) reasons for hl2's praise. The tech innovations actually add to the gameplay(gravity gun), pretty much helped shape our ideas of pacing in a linear shooter. the characters are all well-written, well-acted and animated in ways that don't have that esoteric video game cringeyness(breencasts are the single best written pieces of dialogue I've ever heard in a game). The story itself is relatively well put together and set up, with the seeds for hl2's conflict being placed far back in hl1. A chunk of the weapons are satisfying to use and there's a pretty big variance in the types of combat the character engages in(fast melee oriented enemies, large set piece enemies that can only be killed with explosives, regular infantry and plenty of environmental concerns like hopper mines and sentry turrets that help reinforce the physics concepts in the game as that's the only approach that can be taken against them). The art director is the same as the Dishonored one, meaning to say the art direction is pretty fantastic and unique. Enemy design is consistent and always justified by the game's worldbuilding.
It definitely deserves a sequel, and you've never played the game.
>>285603762
>the characters are all well-written
stopped reading there
>>285603570
That sounds like too complex for the casual Portal audience.I love it!
>>285603935
You're an idiot. I'm talking more about their dialogue, which is undeniably above the quality of other titles especially at the time. I wouldn't really refer to the characters themselves(other than breen) as being well-written.
Basically it doesn't pain me to sit through character dialogue because it's not absolute garbage like in most other games
No one gives a damn about Portal 3...
What happen to gaming?
>>285604610
I like Portal but if a third one comes out that will be 3 Portal games released since HL2:E2. Not to mention I want an FPS and not another puzzle game. There's just other things that I want more than another Portal.
>>285601595

There is an “innovator edition” of the Gear VR on sale now. Depending on where you buy, and whether you want it used or new, you can expect to pay a little under $300 for the privilege of owning this headset.
