Well...in a way I do have to side with the people saying it is old news that HL2 being at E3 was old news, but there's a reason. I know that supposedly the idea that "Valve had a booth but no guarantees that HL2 would be there" is valid, HOWEVER there is one piece that I doubt many of you saw. See, at E3 there are also lots of conferences to attend (if you cough up the dough). For example, some of the ones I'm going to are "Partnering With The Movie, Music And TV Industries: Profit from the New Level of Collaboration," "Marketing Games In The New Age of Entertainment (Part II): Reaching and Selling the Gen Y Consumer," and "Five (or Six) Rules for Creating a Great Game Today," to name a few.
Now, one of those conferences that I'm going to (and you can check out the list of conferences at http://www.e3expo.com/conference_programs/conference_at_a_glance/ ) is Conference 2.3 - Sneak Peeks. This has been confirmed for a long time. Well, at sneak peeks, they show a, well, sneak peek into 3 games currently in development. One of the games is the sequel to Prince of Persia. One of the games is Jade Empire. And the third sneak peek: Half-Life 2. It has been there for quite some time (and was the main reason I bought a conference pass).
In that sense (HL2 being at E3 in some form) this is "old news." But I suppose it can be taken as "new news," in the sense that it wasn't 100% confirmed to be on the public floor show. Take it as you will.
