Valve “jealous of Nintendo” as it prepares to “start shipping games again
That’s good, isn’t it? Not Half-Life 3 confirmed good, but good all the same.
Speaking at a briefing for Artifact, which is not Half-Life 3, Newell said that the card game is the first of a bunch of new games from Valve.
“Artifact is the first of several games that are going to be coming from us,” said Newell, according to PC Gamer. “So that’s sort of good news. Hooray! Valve’s going to start shipping games again.”
While not mentioning Half-Life 3 in any way, Newell briefly talked about developing games and hardware alongside each other. Valve is looking towards Nintendo’s approach, in which the game and the system it’s played on go hand in hand.
“We aren’t going to be talking about it today, but sort of the big thing, the new arrow we have in our quiver, really, is our ability to develop hardware and software simultaneously,” he said.
“We’ve always been a little bit jealous of companies like Nintendo,” he added.
“When Miyamoto is sitting down and thinking about the next version of Zelda or Mario, he’s thinking what is the controller going to look like, what sort of graphics and other capabilities. He can introduce new capabilities like motion input because he controls both of those things.
“And he can make the hardware look as good as possible because he’s designing the software at the same time that’s really going to take advantage of it. So that is something we’ve been jealous of, and that’s something that you’ll see us taking advantage of subsequently.”
Valve’s next game, Artifact, is a free-to-play digital card game that won’t in any way be pay-to-win according to PC Games N.
Valve or Newell did not say anything about Half-Life 3 at any point during the presentation.

Well, have you seen the charts for Nintendos sales? I would be scared too, Nintendo is on a rocket to the top with their sales on the Switch. By the end of this year, Nintendo has the chance to beat Sony and Microsoft.

I can't see anyone truly expexting a Half-Life 3 simply based on the fact that Valve can't count to 3 in any game series. The article mentions that WAY to much.
As for Valve coming out with new games, sure. They've made some good things in the past. Let's see how they do now. Card games are bleh, though, IMO. Hope they do something better than that next time around.

Maze How can you be jealous of Nintendo... then create a card game? Lmao that doesn't make very much sense to me, doesn't need much design like Nintendo games/systems.
Lol this is funny. I'm not sure whats going on with these titles recently.
