Source 2 References Found In Source Files

5 Comments

Barnz local investigator at Valve Time recently came across references inside the Source files to a possible Source 2.

These are not just single lines of code or vague entries; there are over 60+ references to this new engine, and some are design tools with their own icons. This fact is making many wonder why, then, has Valve downplayed the possibility of an updated engine for so long?

Some would point out the idea that this could be the reason we have not seen Half Life 2: Episode Three yet, but things are afoot. We’ll see if Valve will use Episode Three as a jumping point for their potential new engine, or if they will skip over to Half Life 3.

Leave a comment below and let us know what your thoughts are on this latest update. Do you think Valve is really making a new engine, or is this just an expansion upon the original?

I think that when HL2:EP3 will come out internet will flip out. Six month later BAM! HL3 is released with new engine, then whole world will blow up! HL2:EP3 is gonna be marketing bomb for HL3. After HL2:EP3 release, people will hear so much about Half-Life and how great it is. They will definitely buy Half-Life 3.

  Sadly, that makes no sense.
  
  But I admit that I’m sad because it would be great.

HL2:EP3 hasn’t been announced, and neither has HL3. Stop worrying about it until either are announced.Valve games aren’t about making money anymore, they’re about bringing customers to Steam.

Source 2 could be a major technological advancement. That could explain why there has been such a damn long development process for Half Life 3.

Personally I do not expect Episode 3 as a standalone product, nor do I expect another Orange Box kind of release.

We are going to get a Half-Life 3 after a major almost year long hype train just like Half-Life 2 – post next-gen console release – cause only MMO’s release on PC only these days.
