VNN: Many Unreleased Projects - Valve Leaks a Complete Makeover.
- Thread starter GameZone
- Start date
You can hear the excitement in Tyler's voice (the dude from the video). Following Valve can be rough sometimes but there's definitely something going here. Gabe's comment about making new games might have been mocked here, but that plus the Campo Santo buy, the Artifact previews and the new site and branding... That's a lot.
To be honest just seeing In the Valley of Gods on their website listed as upcoming game makes me excited.

If I remember correctly, Gaben said in the press conference about Artifact that they are pretty jealous of Nintendo, as they make hardware around their software.
I think that's an indication that they are going to launch pretty soon in-house hardware with SteamOS and their VR solutions (Knuckles controllers and VR headset).
The Steam controller & Steam Link were just them getting their feet wet.

I'm ready for new stuff from Valve, but I'm not getting my hopes up until I see some actual announcements from them. We've been getting HL3 leaks since like 2009 and L4D3 leaks since like 2012. I've given up on getting excited from their leaks.
Valve logo is red now, Steam has Switch Pro controller support, Gabe talked about being jealous of Nintendo. It's happening, Nintendo has purchased Valve.
Anyways, I'm excited to see whatever is happening at Valve but like always I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic and not expect a lot. I would like to think something is gonna be said soon with e3 around the corner but eh, best just to wait and see.

Super exciting, even though I've never been into their games I'm really looking forward to a new steam.
Here are some screenshots from their new site before it got taken down:
Here's the video that plays on the homepage:

If they can find the right hook, and that hook could be VR, I think they would make another Half-Life just to close he book on it.
And I'd consider a L4D3 a big game anyway.
Value needs to rebrand themselves at this point, from a personal standpoint when ever I think about either steam or valve I just end up feeling angry. They quit making games but they also flooded the hell out of steam with so much garbage I can't even respect it.
Well, I'm mainly excited about hardware and Steam stuff so I think I'm pretty safe there :)
There are a few Valve folk going to E3, but I think they are just doing a roundtable discussion with any interested developers
There were quite a few places where it is just Black.
Also the red logo has been used in the GDC talks this year. Apparently "the folks who worked on the new website did the styling" for those slides. So I don't think this means anything particular.
I don't think they are "rebranding" but they are going to launch a bunch of things along with the updates to Steam itself
These are the best things about Valve imo. They alter the company to fit into whatever they want to do. Now they do a lot of hardware stuff (and it sounds like a lot more of this will be revealed soon), have games in development and already active. The store being open to lots of smaller titles and so many niches is fantastic for so many people who want to discover new and interesting games and concepts. I still to this day can't surface "trash" without a lot of effort, and no one is able to demonstrate their own Steam pages being "flooded" with trash

This meme again... and it's been argued a hundred times but curation could be horrible for indie games. Just because they aren't making single player games that will make them less money doesn't mean they aren't making games...
Huh, very interesting. I knew a new Steam interface is in the works but I'm surprised that they've been planning a whole re-branding
Very curious to see where this will lead to

Good for them. I just wish they would interact a bit more. They usually have a "you'll take it and you'll like it!" attitude when it comes to questionable decisions.
It's lot of work to make a good single player game, and there is no big VR single player games , just some modded games like Skyrim and Fallout 4.
I'm not sure Valve will take the risk to put lot of money in a single player VR game, because VR is not enough popular and most people play PC games.
Well, we'll see at E3, but i really expect nothing from Valve.
Valve is so fascinating, just because they are so unpredictable. I'm really curious to see what they have in store.
wait do you have that quote? interesting, I want to read more about this press conference
"We've always been a little bit jealous of companies like Nintendo, when Miyamoto is sitting down and thinking about the next version of Zelda or Mario, he's thinking what is the controller going to look like, what sort of graphics and other capabilities. He can introduce new capabilities like motion input because he controls both of those things. And he can make the hardware look as good as possible because he's designing the software at the same time that's really going to take advantage of it. So that is something we've been jealous of, and that's something that you'll see us taking advantage of subsequently."

Interesting. Valve must be aware that other big companies are trying to get a piece of the huge PC gaming cake. Big publishers are raising their own clients and aren't releasing their games on Steam anymore. EA tries to be first with a broad subscription service. Microsoft is building their gaming services into Windows 10. And there's Tencent, God knows what that company wants.
Tldr; Valve gets more and more competition, so they'll have to become more competitive as well.

This is one of those "Gamez Journalism" moments, where many sites opted for hyperbole and clickbait and then didn't bother to provide the full context. Gabe was discussing what Valve have been up to over the past few years and why they hadn't been shipping games and are now starting to do so again
Gabe said what he said multiple times before - they had jealousy for Nintendo because they could develop hardware and software simultaneously.
The actual new interesting bit from the talk is that they have now developed this capability internally and that this will be utilised going forward with their games / hardware.
He also discussed how a lot of their time has been on developments to maintain PC openness:
To me the most interesting bit is that they are putting forward the idea of Valve now getting back to shipping games, Artifact being the first of many. This is also on their new website which claims:
This is also shown off a bit in the video in the background of the new site, which has a lot of hardware fab stuff in there (and a cool glimpse of the Lighthouse testing array that they call the "Deathstar")

Oh wow. Red. And some shit on a vr headset. Lol
Doesn't really look like much of anything to me.

Following the leak of the concept art for it, the said to press that it would be coming in Summer of 2017. That conversation was just over a year ago. Typical Valvetime
Ah yes, the famous garbage flood that the only people who sees it are those actively looking for it... Or those who dont even use steam.
I was expecting their new Steam UI to release soon(for months, now), but this means it's something bigger than that? That's not something I was expecting, but I'm looking forward to it.
That's pretty much what I understood.
I remember too a user here in Resetera said that he knows Valve's gonna release something soon related to SteamOS, but that he couldn't provide more info since he's under a NDA.

These guys are definitely preparing to reboot a couple things. More office space, a quality dev buyout, VR coming into its own. They are definitely gonna drop some bombs in the coming years. Who knows when...
I noticed this too and it made me pretty happy. It's fun listening to Tyler get excited and then near the end heavily tempering his expectations just in case. But regardless, his optimism is still huge. I totally get where he's coming from.
The stuff going on in the websites background video has me really excited. They seem to have so much going on in the hardware space.
