LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Valve Comments on Source Engine 2

Posted on Saturday, October 15 @ 11:34:50 Eastern by

With PCs pulling far ahead of console in raw power, you'd think that one of the forefront PC developers would be talking up their new tech to push manufacturers in the right direction (read: towards them). That's not the case with Valve.

The house that Gordon Freeman built last debuted brand new graphics engine technology with 2004's Half-Life 2. The Source Engine has powered some of the best and most beloved games of the past 7 years, with April's Portal 2 last at bat. According to Valve's Chet Faliszek, Source 2 will make its way out eventually, but Source itself is still kicking it:

We just update it, not just replace it. [At] some point we may say there's Source 2 or whatever, but really for us there's been a pretty easy way to keep it and understand the tools.

Valve's always been centered around the experience in their games and how players interact with their titles, so it's not surprising to hear that they'll continue working with Source so long as it gets the job done.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with this.

    People complain about CoD using the same engine, but this is no different.
    They both have bits and pieces of idTech in them. A totally new engine is never requirement, updates are cool milk.

    A new engine from the same developer usually means its just an updated version of the previous engine anyway. They won't make a new source engine until there is a substantial reason to do so, like an easier way to make content.

    That or another company’s engine is far better in someway.

    Valve has probably been my favorite game company overall. Through the years ive always been impressed with them. I spent a looooong time on counterstrike and source.....and i will always have a special place in my heart for half-life. And portal? nothing needs to be said for that lol

    These guys are cool as **** in my book :)
