E3 2012: 10 Rumors That Aren’t Coming True

May 6, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

You’ve all read the speculation and rumors leading up to E3, so here’s a piece debunking much of them.

3. Half-Life 3 Announcement

There's been everything from math-based conspiracy theories to possible suggestions by IGN that Valve would be making a huge splash at this year's E3 with the announcement of its much-anticipated game, Half-Life 3.

Unfortunately for everyone—but fortunately for those of us who value facts over baseless hype—the rumor was shot down and flat out denied by Valve head honcho Gabe Newell who wrote:

"We are not announcing anything at E3. Really. We are not announcing Half-Life 3 or Portal 3 or Left 4 Dead 3. We are going to be showing stuff everyone already knows about."

If Valve should make any announcements, it'll likely be at their own press event and not at E3. They're that big these days.
