Let's talk about theese things.

Stuff in SteamVR Performance Test

Files that contain hl3 strings

(Found by guys from reddit and from other forums.)

Destinations\game\core\pak01_000.vpk :

"models\headcrab.mdl"
    {
        "mod"    "hl3"
        "importfunc"    "ImportMDLtoVMDL"
        "getSkinningFromLod0" "1"
    }

HL3 Headcrab mentioned

// work on left4dead2 qc importing content files.
    ".qci"
    {
        "mod"    "left4dead2_source2"
        "importfunc"    "integ"
        "src" "IMPORT_CONTENT"
        "dest" "EXPORT_CONTENT"
    }

    // work on left4dead2 qc importing content files.
    ".vrd"
    {
        "mod"    "left4dead2_source2"
        "importfunc"    "integ"
        "src" "IMPORT_CONTENT"
        "dest" "EXPORT_CONTENT"
    }

    "surfaceproperties"
    {
        "importfunc"    "ImportSurfaceProperties"
    }

    "splitscreen_config.txt"
    {
        "importfunc"    "integ"
        "src" "IMPORT_GAME"
        "dest" "EXPORT_GAME"
    }

L4D2 Source 2 port mentioned. Splitscreen? (Default CFG that comes with Source 2/1)

Client.DLL (Also present in Aperture Robot Repair leaks from February)

C:\buildslave\destinations_staging_win64\build\src\game\client\generated_protosteamtours\win64\hl3_usermessages.pb.cc  // suggesting multiplayer?

Hl3_usermessages.proto

HL3UserMessageIds

AVCHL3VScriptGameSystem

Gordon at his desk (Actually new) (probably part of new info_player_start - vr position at the desk)

Destinations\game\steamtours\steamtours.fgd

! @PointClass base(Targetname) size(16 16 16) color(255 0 0) = path_corner_crash : "Helicopter Crash Path"

Possible helicopter crash scene. Not an NPC. Some type of path. Likely scene.

Helicopter stuff in hammer (thanks Luke / Tobias)

StringtokenDatabase.txt

HL3GF0dev_measuregeneric01b
HL // hl3 texture file reference

Server.DLL

C:\buildslave\destinations_staging_win64\build\src\game\server\hl3\procedural_spawn_template.cpp

Quest member stuff
Destinations\game\steamtours\steamtours.fgd

is_quest_member(boolean) : "Quest Member? (Neutral to Combine and doesn't take damage)"
: 0

Mentions combine and quests. New - old ish. New as in HL3 new. Old as in seen before.

HLVR

CHLPropVRHand   vr_align_to_grabline    vr_draw_hand
CHLVRPropFlashlight models/weapons/vr_flashlight/vr_flashlight.vmdl light   CHLVRPropTripmine
C_HLVRPropTripmine
CHLVR_Weapon_Base

AVCHLVRPropGlove // this right here is something worth looking into

C_HLVR_TeleportController       vr_teleport_recharge_speed      Trackpad can be used to teleport.    //gets more interesting

CHLVR_WeaponSwitch_Controller

This could suggest that Valve has been experimenting with Half-Life and VR.

Model_editor.dll

physics_testbed.exe -game hl3 -open

Source 2 DOG model:

Obsolete on Source 2 looks gorgeous.

And what we know yet:

 

[Yrr]

i still have hope for half-life 3 ever being a thing but i think l4d3 is the most likely next valve game

 

[Vel0city]

Look, we know HL3 is in development. Gabe himself has said it numerous times, be it in really sketchy ways, and all the findings in files basically confirm its existence, just like L4D3. This tool is basically the Dota 2 map editor but now for VR development. From the pictures of the Hammer 2.0 editor it doesn't really look all that useful when building maps for TF2 (or CS:GO for that matter).

Im not going to get excited until there's an announcement when it comes to any sort of new valve game, even with there being evidence of it being developed. It's nice to know those things, but it doesnt really lead to a solid confirmation that it's "coming soon".

New valve games will come whenever they please, and although I await their arrival I'm not going to get excited until they have arrived.

I use that picture (unedited) of the fonz all the time
