I've heard people say they won't make HL3 until the next big leap in gaming is here.

1 was with us into "true 3D" era

2 was with us into physics engines

Alyx was with us into VR gaming.

3 will be with us ...?*

I'm excited to find where we're going. Gaming has been pretty stale for a long time. Sure we've had plenty of games that have got very clever with what we have, but we haven't had a major leap in a long time, they've just been getting a bit more polish and shine each year. Short of deep-dive VR I honestly don't know what could be next.

*Possibly actual AI? A world filled with characters that are actually intelligently responsive rather than just following a set of predefined behaviour patterns? Vortigaunt teammate that learns from you? Thinking about where we're at technologically I have been wondering how long until AI is ready for implementation in games. Maybe this is it?

next big leap is an AAA game actually worth its price, which is what valve is trying to accomplish.
