在過去25年中,V社製作了非常有影響力的遊戲,但數量一隻手就能數的過來,雖然在 Steam Deck 上取得了成功,他們不會停止製作遊戲的腳步。
當被問及《半條命》是否可能是目前正在開發的遊戲IP之一時,Greg Coomer明確表示該系列肯定會繼續。此外他還提到《傳送門》IP是另一個值得“進一步探索”的系列。
"現在Valve有多款遊戲正在開發中,我認為它們是相當令人興奮的遊戲。"Greg Coomer,堅持認為Valve還有很多正在開發的遊戲,而不僅僅是Aperture Desk Job。
Valve has made some very big, influential games over the past 25 years, but it hasn't made a lot of games. You can literally count them on the fingers of one hand—and that number is mainly made up of sequels (Dota 2), spinoffs (Dota Underlords), and tech demos for new hardware (Aperture Desk Job). It's not really a problem on the business side of things because Steam is the proverbial money printer go brrr, but an awful lot of gamers sure would like it if Valve would get back to making the games they love, like it used to. In what's sure to come as good news for those long-suffering fans, Valve's Greg Coomer told Famitsu (opens in new tab) (via Tweaktown (opens in new tab), Google translated (opens in new tab)), that Valve remains deeply committed to making games, and in fact has multiple projects on the go at this very moment. "Valve has a lot of games in development. We will continue to release games," Coomer said. "Game development is very important to Valve. I don't know the exact numbers, but the percentage of employees involved in game development is high. A lot of people are involved." And yes, that commitment extends to Half-Life, although to be clear Coomer said nothing specific about a Half-Life game in development. He did, however, say that Valve loves the setting and wants "to continue exploring the Half-Life universe." "Half-Life: Alyx was a really fun game to make," Coomer said. "Even for [those of] us who worked on that world, it's still fun to go back there and tell more stories. "Also, there are many challenges in virtual reality, and it was an interesting task to solve them. Half-Life works are always accompanied by technological innovation, so it was a big step in that sense as well ... Half-Life: Alyx is a sign that Valve has more to say about that world." Of course, you'll want to take Coomer's statement with, well, whatever quantity of salt you feel appropriate, because this is not the first time that someone from Valve has made this sort of statement while standing amidst a barren wasteland of no actual new games from Valve. Let us review: To be fair to Valve, it has a lot on the go. Steam is still crushing concurrent user records (opens in new tab), and the Steam Deck (opens in new tab) looks to be the legitimate hardware hit that Valve has been chasing for years. Still, there's no overlooking the fact that we've heard this sizzle without seeing the steak many times before, and I have no doubt that it'll happen again, almost certainly before we get our hands on any new game from Valve.
