    It's weird that valve didn't make it as """open""" as source 1 which had all kinds of cool non valve games like infra, zombie panic, titanfall, dark messiah, chivalry, etc.

      They can't because there's no proper SDK yet. S&Box got something like 100+ GB of undocumented/barely documented stuff, so they can't just get that and release it to the public.

        On the leaks there is a Source 2 SDK, who knows now, probably a bunch of games and mods will come out finally.

            If it's in the leaks, then it probably will, afaik the original SDK also came when CSS came out.

    Valve fricked up. This is their longhorn moment. They're gonna try to push this walking corpse for 3-5 years until they realize, they're gonna clean the frick up during Gabe's end of life crisis, and then they will have their Windows 7 moment. It will be beautiful.

      Windows 7 was horrible. the fact that Windows 10 was even worse does not somehow exonerate Win7.

      Why would one want Source 2? Don't know shit about engines but occasionally youtube will spitout videos crowing about Unreal's new features or the things that make Gamebryo ideal for Bethesda titles. I havent heard anything Source 1 had all the physics. I haven't heard anything super special about Source 2

        because it's not unreal, unity, or godot. It's valve's engine, so it's probably the greatest game engine ever made.
        So on that note, is there any news?

        If you're very comfortable with the Source toolchain and related, it would make sense to use Source 2.
        Source 2 is very fricking outdated compared to modern engines.

      Underlords wasn't a huge flop, it's a game that's ~90% reused assets, was made in like a week on a budget of probably less than 7 bucks, and somehow despite being c o m p l e t e l y fricking abandoned by valve for almost 4 years at this point manages to pull 2-3k concurrent players.

    It's true. I liked Artifact, it was fun to play and I ended up with all of the cards from the first set for much cheaper then I would with something like Hearthstone.
    Was looking forward to more, but they never made any content for it at all. Obviously people would stop playing a game like that eventually. It's like they wanted it to fail.

    They never actually released it, which is why it's only Valve games on the list. They tried to drive hype for it by keeping it a """secret""" but nobody actually cares because the goal of engines is for people to actually use them.

    >S&box is a platform and game development toolkit developed by Facepunch studio powered by Source 2. Initially, the development was based on Unreal Engine 4, but as soon as Half-Life: Alyx came out, Facepunch immediately requested the engine branch of the newly-published game. A few weeks later Valve gave Facepunch access to the terabyte large repository, after which, in 2020, S&box's transition to Source 2 was announced. This is the first (and currently only) time that Source 2 has been licensed to third-party developers.

      at this point they've dissapointed and pissed off everyone so hard that HL3 could launch and no one will bat an eye. at best there'll be memes and hype at the announcement, but by the time the game is actually out it'll just die out. I'm way too jaded to even be half as excited as i would've been 5 years ago.

      a game engine isn't really what makes a game looks good, and 5+ year old live service games have been optimized and redesigned over and over so they don't represent what you can make in that engine in about 3 years for the current market.

    i hope for latency reduction, apparently 1.6 had only 8ms latency and cs go people go to ridiculous extent with uncapped 600fps 240hz monitors to minimize it yet its still higher than old game,i play locked cause my cpu fan are loud and i wish i didnt have extra 30ms ping cause of that.
