The TF2VRH was issued in Genuine quality to players who redeemed the code obtained by preordering an Oculus Rift development kit from the official developer website before April 1, 2013 or by backing any level on the official Kickstarter page.

To get it now you'd have to trade with somebody who backed Oculus at Kickstarter (me :cheeky:)

lmao if you honestly think valve is going to make a sequel to a decade old franchise instead of making sweet sweet money by making absolutely nothing for dota 2

They probably have more people developing Half Life 4 than DotA 2.

Valve hasn't done a big presentation at any trade shows in a while and the VR headset has already been revealed, which is what fuels the speculation that their is a software announcement coming. Please continue to get hyped and ultimately disappointed about the valve presentation on 3/3 at 3 pm.
Valve had talks at GDC last year as well, just like today.
In fact, they've been having the same sort of GDC schedule for years. (Also around March back then :ssh:)
More here: http://www.valvesoftware.com/company/publications.html
Notice how Valve talks at GDC every year since 2004

They've also unveiled the Steam Controller at a fairly large event last year, and not to mention the introduction of Steam VR at their own 'trade show' Steam Dev Days again last year

I have my hype set to the maximum setting but you're hyping yourself too much if you think these talks are the first of their kind from Valve for years and years.

It will be a Half-life 2 remake with all the physics remastered. Hence the theme of the talk.

I can think of about 200 million ways to design a fun L4D3 with a DotA style monetization system and HL3 isn't much harder

Although if HL3 is anything other than a traditional FPS campaign the backlash will be nuclear

Seats for that event cost between $1900-$2500. If Valve used it to present anything other then a physics talk, there sure will be rioting alright.

The game that gives them the best chance at success for their VR headset would be HL3, as HL2 was for Steam. But then again, the gamer inside me wants HL3, but the realist inside me says it's going to be something I don't care.

I don't think I'd trust Valve to make Half-Life 3 anymore. In Half-Life 2 they completely dumbed down the game ("Our playtester spent an hour going around in the circle, we removed the option to turn left :downs:"). Half-Life 3 is going to be even worse.

Aren't they supposed to be working on this Half Life 3 / or 2: Episode 3 (ha ha *cough* *cough*) all this time in secret or on and off or something? There have been some concept art leaks here and there up to a few years ago that I was checking.

I understand that it's a possibility they are keeping the development under complete secrecy to prevent that awful leak that happened with Half Life 2 beta., but it's knid of insane to think that they have been doing that for such a long time.

Anyway, I am ready for my disappointment now.

(maybe it's the Black Mesa game/remake that gets a commercial release the game they are announcing(?). Although I don't think Valve is actively working on that; maybe marginally helping the dev team).

That poo poo happens on all games, it's just that HL2 (episode 2?) was one of the first to include the commentary admitting it.

People are idiots.

What? That's pretty much exactly what happened with Half-Life 2 though. It was a big announcement not long before it actually came out. I remember Valve being mum on the subject for years and years. I distinctly remember thinking Half-Life 2 would never come out because they never let on that they were working on it.
