Gabe to talk at DICE 2009

[Evo]

Word has it that Gabe Newell will deliver a keynote address at this years Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain Summit (DICE). I think it is fair to say that we can expect some very insightful words from Newell on the state of play in the games business. Newell will be talking on the 18th of February, that should be an interesting day.

 

[Asuka]

Cant wait to hear what he has to say..

 

[PimpinPenguin]

Think he'll give slightest teensy bit info on Ep3?

 

[hool10]

MOAR Battlefield 3. -Gabe Newell DICE expo 2009

j/k but that would be awesome

 

[Deleted member 56031]

OOOH :O

I'm going to look forward to this

 

[Avoidist]

Finally, something to look forward to.

 

[kacation_man]

Think he'll give slightest teensy bit info on Ep3?

thats what im hope'n for..

 

[-smash-]

Oh yeah, we're going to see some Ep3 stuff for sure.

 

[highlander]

^ yes!

 

[Sheepo]

I would say it's a pretty safe bet we'll see something for Episode 3.

 

[Betelgeuze]

and portal2

 

[fishdbaz]

I don't know... I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you guys...
But on the other hand, it seems about time that Valve actualy showed us something.

 

[Sheepo]

My hopes are always up. I don't have to put them that way.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Counterstrike Coop, with the AI director

 

[CombineHunter]

Counterstrike Coop, with the AI director

Not going to happen.......EVER.

 

[Barnz]

Counterstrike Coop, with the AI director

coming along with Ricochet Source.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

That's on my birthday! **** yeah Gabe.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

Counter-Strike: Portal "now you are thinking with po-LOL OWNED H2X0R KEKEKEKE PWN"

 

[Asknoone]

No. Just no.

 

[altceva]

"Conference Opening Remarks" sounds more like a boring general introduction...
I doubt he will say those magic words "... and with this ocasion I am glad to say that Valve plans to release its next game on 13th October this year. We are grateful for our fans' patience and we can only say that they won't be disappointed this fall..."
Everybody would leave DICE instantly and would rush home to get on the forums and spread the word, and even placing Rick Roll on youtube as the new teaser for Ep3.
But yes, hope is what keeps us alive...

 

[Fiberawptic]

I would say it's a pretty safe bet we'll see something for Episode 3.

Meh, its DICE, not E3. He'll probably talk about Steam and the future of PCs and PC gaming which will nevertheless be exciting seeing how Gabe is a firm supporter of PC gaming. But actual upcoming games, i doubt. We shall see...

 

[Polaris]

DICE is fine but I would love to see Gabe talking at TED.

 

[jet_porkins]

coming along with Ricochet Source.

I'd play it.

And no, I don't think Newell will say anything sufficient, if at all, about Episode 3. I have a hope that he recognizes it, though, just to reassure us that it's coming along in the development process.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I would make do with either info on a significant Source overhaul or upgrade or something related to Steam's future

 

[swan_song1973]

Think he'll give slightest teensy bit info on Ep3?

yeah, and alt+F4 gives you godmode.

 

[Barnz]

It started, bitches.

 

[Apocalypse89]

He should reveal E3 at E3. Only appropriate that way.
