PORTAL 2 IS UPDATING DURING THE STREAM
>>257582887
oh fuck
>>257582887
HABBENIN
Is there a stream for valves "controllers"?
You guys get excited every fucking time a valve game gets updates, but nothing ever fucking happens.
Half Life 3 is never happening. Valve doesn't care about games anymore.
Just give up
It's not happening.
Shut it down.
Shut the fuck up.
Don't break the hearts of these newfags. Half Life 3 just isn't being made.
>>257583608
it's real
portal 2 updated
http://steamdb.info/app/620/history/
>>257584081
How many mbs is it?
>>257584182
no idea, portal 2 isn't installed
>>257584182
>see steam updating something
>it's portal 2
>see this thread a second later
spooky
>>257584407
Not huge, but big enough to sneak something in
>>257584407
>>257584607
>>257584669
How do you check the contents of an update?
More lies. Zzzzzz
someone go play thru real quick, see if they snuck a half-life 3 poster in a secret location!
Is this the Party Escort Submission Position all over again?
>>257585117
It's probably a bug fix or some shit.
>>257584947
I think Portal 3 would be more likely.
>>257584992
Post yfw the first time you saw "Thank you for assuming the Party Escort Submission Position" scene
>>257585250
Portal 3 is confirmed not in development
>>257583746
>>257585247
A bug fix 3 years after the game launched?
>>257585247
>probably just a bugfix
Just like back with Portal 1, right?

>the ARG that followed
Dopest shit ever
>>257585664
>>257585627
Fine guys, chase down your broken dreams. Get disappointed again. If it's something real, we'd hear about it. Fuck Valve, they've gotten us worked up enough times
>HL3 is linked to the worst game Valve has ever made
Give up hope.
>>257585438
>"this is gonna suck"and I was right
>>257585912
Riccochet?
>>257585438
What stream?
>>257585912
CS:GO?
>>257585948
Just so you know, spoilers aren't done with [sp] and [/sp]. I felt like you should know.
>>257585438
>Wow, they pulled a Lucas.
>>257585438
>First concept art given out was in ASCII
I don't see anything listed on the update news yet.
I looked at the game's directory, and they edited some of the executable files and added three new .vpk files in portal2, portal2_dlc1 and portal2_dlc2. I'll look at the contents soon.
>>257583746
I think that was confirmed for fake.
>>257585912
>Half Life 3 is linked to Half Life 2
Shocking!
>>257585912
Portal 2 is good
>>257585627
Dude, Valve still fucking patches old Goldsrc games on occasion.
>>257586110
fuck off weeaboo
>>257586175
But it's not.
>>257586145
>dlc
You mean the Razor motion controller DLC?
>>257586175
No it wasn't, it was confirmed to be real, you can check yourself. Install the mod tools then search for that file.

Okay...
HAPPENING STATUS JUST HIT CODE RED
>>257586145
Tell me how to view these edits
I don't have Portal 2 installed ;_;
I hope you guys tell me what it is.
>>257586326
>>257586530
Green at best.
Allright, I get it's just a small big fix or whatever, but...
>no patch notes
>no official statement
>nothing in news
>nothing on blog
>nothing on facebook
>tiny changes and additions to vpk
Something's spooky.
So here begins the HL3 ARG.
>>257586713
>>257586713
2spook4me *g* :]
>>257586416
Folders "portal2_dlc1" and 2. It's probably some maps or content added with update. Same was with L4D
Just checked the modified dates on all my portal 2 files, alot of the dlls changed and some _dir.vpk files changed too but no new assets. Probably just a bugfix.
>>257586713
Valve is really bad at posting the actual update logs to the update channel for the game, e.g. if you go to "View news -> Product Updates" for Dota 2 it says the last update was June 30th, but it's been updated multiple times since.
>>257586863
But didn't they let people know with L4D?
>>257586863
Oh I do hope it's maps. I'm sick of the moneyverse.
Although I expect it will go the way of L4D and have weekly community maps replace developer made content.
>>257586279
Fuck no.
>>257586713
I guess we'll find outat the EA conference tomorrow
>>257586610
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VPK
This wiki has all the info you need.
>>257587040
uh
the pak_dir.vpk contains all the games assets
-And now, please welcome Valve CEO Gabe Newell-
"Hi, and thank you for joining us here today.
When we first founded Valve we had no idea what we would become almost 20 years later. We own the biggest digital gaming library, and we are the authors of some of the most critically acclaimed videogame franchises. And all of our games have always been running on custom game engines. The first one we started working on was GoldSrc: derived from Quake II. And when we announced its successor to the world, Source, the modding community created some of the most incredible things we have ever seen. We were so fascinated by some creations that we even decided to hire the people behind them to work on future projects, because they know what's best for the community and what they want from our games.
Almost 10 years later the launch of the sequel to our first franchise, Half-Life, we decided it would be time to let the world know what's been going on.
We have been working on a brand new game engine, with improved modding tools that many people from the Source modding community will find easy to transition to. The reason for that is that even though we kept our engine updated, the modding tools were extremely outdated.
A few days ago we launched the Dota 2 workshop tools, which seemed like a complete overhaul from our previous programs. That's because they secretly ran on the new iteration of Source: Source 2.
We have been waiting for a game to ship this brand new next-gen engine with, and since we are working on multiple projects at once, we decided it would be best to release it with a title I am sure many of you will love.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am please to announce that Left 4 Dead 3 will be available for download starting August the 30th.
But that's not all. We have another surprise coming out in late November. Stay tuned."
and then i woke up

QUICK GUYS
HOW BIG WAS THE UPDATE FOR PORTAL 1
THE ONE WITH THE RADIOS AND THE PARTY ESCORT SUBMISSION POSITION
>>257586175
It isn't. Download the Dota 2 map tools. The specific file is found in Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota_ugc\game\dota.
>>257587412
One time I dreamt that I turned into a Yoshi and got fucked by five men at the same time.
Nintendo/Valve collaboration confirmed?
>>257587398
>not knowing how vpk works
the _dir files are just index files, the actual assets are in the <number>.vpk files. You can use the dir files to view all the files but they don't actually contain anything.
>>257587709
Gabe Newell sat in his office replying to the fan emails in his inbox. In a few minutes he was about to meet the Nintendo of America President Reggie Files-Aime to discuss a new development and licensing deal for the new 3ds. There was a knock on his office door, By the time Gabe had spun his chair around and wobbles to his feet, Reggie had already entered his office and was shutting the door behind him. Gabe grabbed and shook Reggie's hand. Reggie eyed Gabe's round, plump body. He licked his lips ever so slightly. "I am Reggie Fils-Aime. I'm about fucking asses and taking dicks." He undid his belt and trousers, letting them fall around his ankles. He wore no underwear, Gabe began salivating as he saw the Haitian man meat swinging between Reggie's legs. Reggie boasted, "It's like an N64 controller; it's made for 3 hands" Gabe's eyes grew big. "I think my dick has been playing Team Fortress 2, because it wants your ass for a hat," Gabe said while removing his own pants. Then Gabe lifted up his sagging stomach showing Reggie his massive valve. "I call it Episode 10, for obvious reasons." "It might be more appropriate to call it Episode 12!" marveled Reggie. "In any case, I hope, unlike 3, that this Episode of actually releases." "Oh it's ready for release," Gabe smirked, "but I'll need you to work on it a bit first." Reggi spun around, sticking his anxious buttocks towards Gabe. "My body is ready"
>>257587610
8mb
The Portal 1 update didn't have new assets either
Remain hopeful brothers
>>257587921
THIS MEANS SOMETHING
>>257587610
Also, it had a really cryptic description in the patch notes.
http://theportalwiki.com/wiki/March_1,_2010_Patch_%28Portal%29
The patch notes are probably going to show up soon and be totally normal, I don't think this is the ARG.
GUYS THE GOD DAMN HEAD FROM THE SOURCE INTRO VIDEO STARTED TO TURN, FUCK THAT IS CREEPY
>yfw gaben changed the ending with portal 2 with the 8-12mb
>>257588207
It's always done that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=632kyLysP6c
Found this:
Changed files:
- Dlls, exe
- pak01_dir.vpk (portal2, dlc1 & dlc2)
Guys calm down. Gabe will never release HL3 because it will never live up to expectations. Expectations go higher - HL3 is delayed and remade.
IRL portal technology when?Literally fuck all opinions and wasting dollarydoos on warfare because space exploration is necessary to survive in the future and it better happen sooner than too late.
>>257586326
Why are you sperging out over a simple gif?

>>257588592who's the gman?
VALVE STREAM WHERE PLS?
>>257588373
>reversing HL1 and HL2 pictures
Reminder that HL2 sold only thanks to the hype of the previous game. Its physics would have been labeled "gimmicky" and "not so impressive after Far Cry" had it not been a sequel to a great game.
>>257588962
Nope.
But Gabe will be on stage to give the prize to the winners of ESL One in a few days, which is probably when the Linux version of CSGO will be released, maybe he'll drop some hints. Or crash EA's conference tommorow.
>>257589048

link?
MODS STICKY PLZ
>>257590072
He was talking about the Sony stream which was the most likely place for Valve to announce something if they were going to announce anything on a stream at all
But they might as well just do an ARG
>>257589760
what
>>257589760
this is fake

>something has changed in portal 2 files

>>257590072
It started updating when the sony stream got all corrupted and there was weird text in the corner
>>257589760
>playermodel borealis
I'm not falling for this, faggot. That's the startup config thing. That'd set your playermodel to the borealis or something. That'd be insane.
>>257589451

It is insane, anonymous.
Prepare for unforeseen consequences.
>>257590406
I fucking bet, fag
>>257590341
DID ANYONE SCREENCAP IT
I FORGOT ABOUT THE TEXT FUCK
FUCK FUCK FUCK
Stop doing shitty fakes you idiots we already know what files updated
>>257590341
Oh, yeah. For a second I thought we'd have something like the Gman crashing Sony's presentation. But it was just twitch being shit.
I'm at the Borealis dock now (map sp_a3_transition01), there's nothing new.
>>257590543
last updated march 14
>implying
OH MY GOD. CHECK YOUR DESKTOPS!
Lots of the files in the bin folder have been updated. The first 2 applications are for making maps as far as I can tell.
>>257590668
Which files were updated?
>>257590660
It was just [email protected] and 1920x1080i@50Hz
>>257590758
So it's just Source 2 map tools compatibility.
Fuck. That actually makes a lot of sense, and it totally derails the hype train.
Someone needs to make a diff to see exactly what was added, modified, and/or removed.
>>257589760
Great. A robot named Borealis that hasthe best and most advanced aperture science portal technology that GLaDOS can squeeze out of her artificial VJJ's. Just imagine a portal device that does NOT require moon based material to function.
Someone go to where the Boralis should be in Portal 2 now and report back
>>257590660
That was just their broadcasting equipment dying and reboot, you morons
>>257590758
See if the vpk files have been updated

>>257590998

Someone should look at themself through a portal and set him straight.
>>257589760

>>257589451
>>257589528

>>257591160
NOT YET
>>257590949
Only the directory vpks have been updated.
>>257591160
For you
Could someone just warp to the ending and check out that shit?
>>257587832
>"It's like an N64 controller; it's made for 3 hands"
>>257591412
I went to Borealis dock and re-played through the ending, nothing has changed that I noticed.
Whatever money HL3 would make it pales in comparison from what they make from Assfaggots 2 and Hat Fortress 2 microtransactions and market transactions.
THE ENDING HAS CHANGED HOLY SHIT
>>257591529
Not even after she throws the companion cube at you? Damn.
OH MY GOD. GO RE-FIGHT GLADOS AT THE END.
WHEN YOU GO TO THE MOON YOU CAN SEE THE BOREALIS IN THE BACKGROUND ON THE MOON!!!
>>257591668
Sure it has pal
>>257591668
Please stop
>>257591582
Which means they have all the time and money in the world to make whatever they want to make.
Now we just have to hope that this whatever ends up being HL3 at some point.
>want to reinstall portal 2 after this thread

OH SHIT YOU GUYS I JUST PLAYED THROUGH THE ENDING
AFTER CHELL IS KICKED OUT THERE'S A VOICE BEHIND HER THAT SAYS "YES, YOU WILL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OUT HERE... THE REST OF YOUR HALF-LIFE 3!"

Oh, my mistake, I forgot to update, sorry guys.It's still not there though, gullible retards
>>257588327
It did it first in Dota 2
>>257591582
>Whatever money HL3 would make it pales in comparison from what they make from Assfaggots 2 and Hat Fortress 2 microtransactions and market transactions.
You know that isn't true, everyone would buy into the hype, even those who haven't even played half-life, just becouse of the meme.
See: Duke Nukem Forever. And this time we don't talk about a ditched project, HL3 didn't have the studio closed and moneyscuming.
It's a fucking compatibility update that will allow you make maps for it using source2 map editor.
You can all go home now.
>>257591883
>the rest of your half life 3
my fucking sides
The shit posting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it
>>257592089
He means it always did that in Portal 2. As in, the patch didn't change shit.
>implying modern day Valve would do another ARG
The last thing was bread and it was a teaser for their TF2 short.
>>257591732
>GLADOS
top kek, you didn't even play the game
>>257592197That's pretty neat if you ask me, they're really rolling out source 2 now, should be exciting
>>257591857
>not today satan
I don't know why I laughed so hard at this
Valve please, why can't you just add some patch notes.
>>257592197
12 MB isn't nearly enough for that
>>257592342
I do agree, nice to see them keeping their previous stuff up to speed on things.
>>257591883
>the rest of your half-life 3
Help, my sides are deorbiting just now and they are burning
>>257592481
It's the framework in that case then, allowing rest to be put in later.
>>257592458
the hypes, jack, the hypes
>>257589760
FUCK YES
Now I just need to get a PC that can run HL3
My current one is eight years old and probably doesn't work right anymore.

>not knowing how to check for downloading files
>>257592758
Not too sure. Bump for interest.
I thought they were attending
>>257592758
Valve has never done a conference to announce stuff.

>>257592758

If they really did a radio ARG like last time then I have a feeling that there'd be radios in the old test chambers you revisit, or maybe in the Ratman dens.

We relocate the conference to Europe next time.
>>257593417Would someone actually try to kill Gaben if he announced they were abandoning Half-Life?
