Valve doet de laatste tijd erg mysterieus omtrent een waarschijnlijk nieuwe game. Het bedrijf wil geen informatie loslaten over waar het nou precies om gaat. De geruchten gaan dat er een nieuwe Counter-Strike achtige game gaat komen.Het begon op het forum van de website Cadred, Richard Lewis meldt het volgende:
A couple of weeks ago I was sworn to secrecy about this but it seems the same people who have demanded I not say anything have gone and told the usual CS:S blabber mouths and as such it’s going to be another “secret” that everyone knows about in a few weeks anyway.Ordinarily I’d not give a shit but given the general doom and gloom that the CS:S community is subject to at the moment spilling the beans might at least lead to some people being a bit more positive about the future of the game.So yes, apparently Valve have approached several top players from across Europe, as well as J3di from the Zblock team, and have invited them to a meeting in their Seattle offices to discuss the future of the game.This is the first time that they have ever attempted anything like this for CS:S and it’s the first time they have showed any sort of interest in the project since Dynamic Weapon Pricing was introduced.Anyway, the list of invited people looks good so far, even if some players are still wary that it’s some sort of scam and haven’t made a decision to attend or not yet. However, the first few flights from those who have provided the information requested have had flights booked and confirmation sent, so their feeling is it’s all above board.Discuss away. Just don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret.
Valve zelf wil hier niets over loslaten, of er echt topspelers gevraagd zijn voor een geheime bijeenkomst. Speler Marek “.PhP” Kadek liet bijvoorbeeld helemaal niets los toen dit hem gevraagd werd:
In light of recent events I need to ask you this, but I don’t think I’ll get an answer… Valve HQ, Seattle, August – have you heard anything about it and if so, have you received an invite?
Ook de lead designer van Valve, genaamd Iikka Keränen, liet niets los in een interview:
Seba: is there anything major comiing to CSS?iikka: can’t really comment right now
Wat er dus precies gaande is, is nog niet bekend, maar het wordt wel duidelijk dat er wat nieuws gaat komen. Wij houden jullie hier natuurlijk van op de hoogte.
