Valve founder Gabe Newell confirmed to Eurogamer during a media roundtable at the studio's Bellevue, Washington office that Valve's currently making 3 games specially made for VR, and the games are confirmed to use both Source 2 and Unity engine. Plus he also said "full" games. not an experiment or a tech demo (HL3 pls ).

"When I say we're building three games, we're building three full games, not experiments,"

What makes this funny is Gaben keep crediting Nintendo as their source when developing games and even mentioning Miyamoto.

"This is something that Miyamoto has always had. He's had the ability to think about what the input device is and design a system while he designs games. Our sense is that this will actually allow us to build much better entertainment experiences for people."

And he also admit he was completely wrong about the potential of Nintendo's hardware, twice. named DS and Wii.

"You can always be surprised, right? Personally, I thought the DS was kind of stupid," Newell recalled of his initial impressions. "It was totally wrong. I thought Sony was going to crush Nintendo in that generation of handheld devices. I hadn't worked on it. I hadn't tried to design any games for it. And clearly the DS ended up being the winner.

"The flipside was the first time I played Wii Sports (to continue to use Nintendo as an example) I was like 'Oh my god! There's so much opportunity! There's so much potential here that we're all going to go discover!' Then it turned out that Wii Sports had pretty much nailed it and that was it."
