Looks like a 2 on the farthest away pic. Kind of turns more into a 3 as it gets closer though.

Put it together with Gabe Newell's recent rantings about how hard the new consoles are to develop for, and there could well be something there. Valve have obviously at least tried to do some engine work on the new consoles. Given that Gabe is ex-MS, there's no reason to think the 360 wasn't one of them.
Far too early to get excited about Half-Life 3 though; there's probably a better chance of seeing a sequel to LOTR this decade than Half-Life 3

hl3 will be using the source engine.

Is this why Gabe threw away his old code?
I hope this is true. I would prefer HL3 on a console where it can be properly optimized...
I don't want my initial experience with the 3rd game to be plagued with technical problems. Sure, it runs great now, but it's the first playthrough that REALLY matters...

if u think it'll come out on x360 first u are an idiot.
I'm sure HL3 will be PC first, but Valve simply can't ignore the success Epic is enjoying with the console market at the moment. You can be sure they're accomodating the next-gen systems from scratch with the next version of their engine.
It kind of amazes me that Epic is so thoroughly mopping up the market for third party engines on the next-gen systems.

*remembers thief:ds and deus ex:iw being made first for the xbox*
yeah that worked out well.

Thief WAS good, but yeah, DX2 was a big disappointment.MrPing1000 said:
Now, there is a big difference there. The gameplay systems in those games were rather complex (the originals) in comparison to your average console game. They simply dumbed them down to allow console functionality. Big mistake.
Half-Life, however, is not like that. Half-Life's actual gameplay is very very simplistic and would not suffer one bit.
In before the console zealots. Screw you, I want my PC games on my PC and my console games on my consoles not the other way around.
Yeah, another big FU to PC gamers.
There is 0.1% chance that this rumour isn't true and that it is HL2 on that shot not 3.
If Valve starts making console-first PC-second games there's no hope for PC gaming. I'm pretty sure MS is drowning Blizzard and Valve in $$$ as we write here.
Little by little there will be no PC exclusive titles.

yeah it was good but the levels for fricken tiny compared to thief 1 and 2 due to xbox's memory limits, same with deus ex
I don't think it was all the fault of XBOX, though. The engine itself (with the lighting additions they made) likely could not have handled maps the size of Thief 1 and 2. The Dark engine was capable of some REALLLLLLY big maps the size of which the Warfare engine has never seen.

Half-Life 2 for the 360 makes a lot of sense. The Xbox version doesn't have multiplayer. Throw in multiplayer, an expansion pack, and maybe even DoD and you'd have a hell of a great 360 game that people would double dip for. At three times the resolution, no less.
