First off, Titanfall is running a very heavily modified version of Source. You can't use that to judge how well Source runs on anything.You know I can't wait for Source 2 and I hope it is soon. But honestly I don't think it is going to happen as soon as we think.The current consoles on the market can't even max out source as it is today, look at Titanfall for a perfect example on the Xbox One. It is fucking struggling to do 720p @60 fps. And technology as far as engines go tend to follow the dollars -- and that is the consoles. I think Source 2 is probably 5-6 years away ( as well as Half-Life 3). Then again I could be wrong and ol' GabeN could have a brew of Source 2 running on a kernel of linux that is SteamOS and it revolutionishes gaming and every develpoer wants to be a part of it. It loks like UE 4 on crack and runs twice as fast, but i doubt it. Valve tends to be like our grandpas -- reliable, patient, predictable and always on their own time.

God damn it Valve. It is the one company that we all make excuses for and are willing to bend over for. WE JUST WANT THE FUCKING SOURCE 2 ENGINE AND HALF LIFE 3.
Source 2 is probably more likely since it is only a "2", not a 3
FUCK consoles.
No because Valve. The "more dollars on consoles" selling FPS shooters to xbox kids - that makes sense for EA and Activision, but Valve has bigger interests and longterm plans as we're witnessing with the development of SteamOS. Valve/Steam are the tentpole of PC gaming right now so its hard to imagine them waiting around for consoles to catch up some day because "dollars".
Gabe is on record stating that Valve isn't in the business of making single player experiences any longer. Their model is social experiences, so you're going to get your L4D3 loooooong before you are ever going to get your Half Life 3.
While that's true, they also said they were moving to an episodic model and that lasted all of three years.Gabe is on record stating that Valve isn't in the business of making single player experiences any longer.

I think I know what you are trying to say, but even then I think are dead wrong.Newer engines don't require more horsepower to look better, they actually make things look and run better using less horsepower.
...
But basically they could release their new engine and their new game would run better while look better on the new consoles than their old ones.
Nobody who is a professional would use PowerPoint. Hoax.
Do you mean for an engine demo or in general? I ask because I have not dealt with an enterprise class company that has not used power point for it's demos and was curious what alternatives you might have seen/used.
I was just trash talking PP, because it's terrible. The source might be legit, but gaf isn't where I'm going for this type of news.
Because you can't use it?
Well, in your opinion, what should people be using instead of PowerPoint/Keynote/Impress?Who can't use PowerPoint? No, because it is trash software.

hope they fix the horrible net code / hitboxes and registration in that engine.
Source's netcode is excellent. Perfection is completely unachievable, but Source gets pretty much everything right.hope they fix the horrible net code / hitboxes and registration in that engine.

Agree. Its very simple and works great. Thats why CS is still so great to this day.
I'm curious how? When you are close to someone it's more effective to spam the ground than it is to shoot directly at them. That doesn't sound like perfection.
While I loved HL1 and 2, and well, basically anything on the source engine because it always just felt "right," i'm really starting to not give a shit anymore when it comes to Valve. Too much pointless hype and no substance.

Source 2 will coincide with Valves game box, I really think it's inevitable that the engine and HL3 will both be released on the new platform to entice people to purchase (ala when Steam was first released).
You may be right. I think Valve is one of two camps; 1) they are going to use SteamOS as a catalyst to launch a new engine and several games based on that engine that run best on their OS, that is also Open-Source and they want to push 'marketing' departements like Sony and Microsoft off there soap boxes and change the way gamers think of living-room gaming, 2) they don't really care about SteamOS from a business prospective but more-so from a marketing prospective and feel the change isn't in hardware but software and marketing and analysis. In the second scenario Source 2 is far away as well as HL3.
As far as games are concerned I would rather have a L4D3 or CS: Source 2 than a Halif-life 3, any day.
