Gabe Newell Confirms Source 2 Engine
dotarray writes "Valve's Gabe Newell has confirmed that they are building the Source 2 engine, but haven't yet had the game to roll it out with. From the article: 'If you're not smiling yet, you'll definitely be doing so after you hear how the announcement was made. It was Gabe Newell's birthday on November 3rd, and 4Chan's /v/ (videogames) board decided to pay him a surprise visit. In addition to an enormous birthday card signed by many of /v/'s regulars, they also gave him an an actual Mann-Co crate, which he had to pay $2.50 to unlock in order to receive the gift of a combat helmet similar to the one worn by the Team Fortress 2 soldier. Irony at its best.'"
Not Yet News.
Wake me when Valve starts getting talkative about specs.
An enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in bacon and cheese
They may be loosely related NOW, but one could predict that there might be a crossing of plot-arcs in HL3. Episode 2 seems to imply that players will soon be visiting the Borealis, which may or may not contain a trip to a testing chamber of some kind. Will we meet GlaDOS? Probably not. But if I had to guess, I'd think that we'll be seeing a lot more than references to Aperture Science in Half Life 3.
That is seemingly less and less likely.
By now Gabe hates three is obviously not just a stupid joke. They must being trying to not make games with 3 in their name, because the likely hood of it going on this long just by change is too big.
My money is on Half life 2, Episode 2, Part 2 for the next game they release.
Troll is not a replacement for I disagree.
