If you could choose which game Valve to make next, which one?

Whatever it is, I hope it's in VR.
I'm totally on-board now, after playing Half-Life: Alyx.
I'm not sure that I'd be able to handle Portal in VR though, as smooth locomotion in Alyx immediately starts making me feel nauseated, and Portal is all about momentum-based movement.

Honestly, Left4Dead 3. The sheer amount of entertainment I've gotten out of the first two playing with friends in enormous, and I'm dying for another round (and have been for a long, long time at this point.
Additionally, Half-Life Alyx essentially is Half-Life 3 to me (and I'd imagine many people at Valve see it in that light as well, they just obviously couldn't call a VR-only game Half-Life 3).

I have spent more time into left 4 dead 1 and 2 than I have in any other valve IP. Single players are nice and all but are brief experiences. I think valve has what it takes to take the Left 4 dead IP and turn it into a multiplayer experience that feels more like a single player/co-op experience that change every time you play. the way they did Left 4 dead already touched the tip of that iceberg, I just want to see more of the possibility exposed.
Portal 3.
I'm not particularly attached to Half Life, and Alyx provided almost no story progression outside of like a 5 minute scene. I'd be much more excited for a new portal. And while I don't think Portal would work too well in VR, if their next game isn't VR it'll probably be a let down considering just how good of an experience Alyx was.

Wow at that Half Life vote difference didn't expect that
Guess i should try finally playing the Half Lifes but last time i tried playing Half Life 2 i got motion sickness, maybe i'll just watch a playthrough on youtube instead

After Alyx I just want more VR stuff from them. I don't care what IP it's attached to, but they have a very good framework for a shooter in Alyx. My favorite VR experience by far (except maybe Beat Saber with custom songs, but that's hard to compare).
New IP. As much as I like their FPSs, it's when they do something completely different that it attracts me more
After all these raytacing threads talking about how there's no real gameplay impact, I think valve could do since really interesting stuff with raytaced lights, shadows, and reflections. Especially caustics, that one prism tech demo was really impressive, and something you can't really do with traditional lighting
Unfortunately, Valve favors Vulkan really hard over DX12 and I believe that pretty much every RT implementation to date uses the latter.
Didn't quake 2 use vulkan rt? That's like one of the landmark demos
Hmm maybe, I was only really thinking of AAA games when I posted that. The original RT version of Quake 2 came out way before the official paid one with RTX support, so it's possible the hardware acceleration was implemented by hand before there was official support for it at the driver level.
While I'd love another Portal, and playing HL: Alyx was an incredible experience, I don't know if Portal will ever see a VR game due to the in-game movement.
I played HL: Alyx in rather long sessions and never got sick, but I tried Lone Echo and felt nauseous immediately. Valve would be the company to solve that problem though.
That sounds similar to me. I have been able to play hours of VR with room-scale movement or teleportation with no issues at all from day one, but as soon as I play anything with smooth locomotion I start to feel very motion sick.
I was disappointed to find that out, as I heard that Saints & Sinners was one of the better VR games and an immersive sim, but it doesn't have a teleportation option. In fact many of the games I was hoping to play in VR are like that - particularly modded games.
