NowGamer: References to a 'Combine Advisor NPC' have sprung up in the Portal 2 SDK beta, with code to control targeting, shooting, and shields... could this be left over code from the next Half-Life game?
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.
Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
The Performing Right Society (PRS) has "commenced legal proceedings" against Steam owner Valve over the use of its members' works on Steam "without permission."
This won't hold up, it's the game developers that licensed the music to use in their games with Steam being the distributor of those games. By that logic they would have to go after Nintendo, Sony and Xbox for also doing the same thing.
Valve are being very convining about all this. It's not nice to mess with your fanbase like that.
Cool. Loving how sneaky Valve is being about teasers recently
Valve need to develop a SOURCE 2 engine. Their current engine is OLD.
As much as a want HL2:E3, i still fear its going to look pants upon release.
Perhaps millions of fan-boys (myself included)will wet ourselves if they announce something at E3.
hell yeahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D im in love with half life it is 10/10 all day every day yeah dude!
