Here is a brief transcript from the interview.
Half-Life 3
"I think it's kinda public knowledge, that people know that it is being worked on. And so if I were to say that yeah, I've seen some images, like some concept art of it, that wouldn't be big news to be honest. But yeah, I mean like I guess I could say that I did see something that looked kinda like in the Half-Life universe. And I mean it wouldn't surprise anyone if I said they're doing it, they're working on it, yeah. So to go on a limb I'd say I did see some concept art for Half-Life 3."
Left 4 Dead 3
"You know, the one thing I'm really excited about is Left 4 Dead, the new Left 4 Dead. I saw it, it looks great. I was really excited when I saw that, I was like "wow, this looks great". Cos I really enjoyed Left 4 Dead, it was just one of those games that really just changed the industry. I think at the time there wasn't many good co-op games, so yeah, this is a great co-op game."

Minh Le is perhaps best known for co-creating the original Counter-Strike, something I'm sure many visitors to the site are well acquainted with by now. His latest work includes the relatively unimpressive Tactical Intervention, which he has since left behind. He is now working with Facepunch on Rust.
We all kind of assumed that these games were being worked on in some capacity, though the information shared about Half-Life 3 is really nothing new at all. Hell, we've also seen things that could be concept art for Half-Life 3 ages ago, so that isn't too surprising.
The news about Left 4 Dead 3 isn't all that surprising either. Last year it was revealed that Left 4 Dead 3 existed on Valve's internal systems.
So while it's possible Valve may not appreciate Gooseman talking about these games, he didn't really say anything that we didn't already know.

I didn't know about it either until I started to get some information for this news post.
