Me thinks you're big blind Valve fanboy.

IW is being flamed for updating id Tech 3 while Valve isn't.
They both are doing OK with updating old engines but Source really needs a fresh.

So It's alive again? I bet that's only for a couple of months, then they will go down the rabbit hole again.

@StreetMix
Me thinks you're big blind valve hater.

IMO as long as it's looking good without eating to much fps, i'm happy with it.
And to be honest, i don't like how nowadays games prefers unrealistic looking engine, with soo much blur and bloom, plastic looking character, and super high requirement.
For example, like Battlefield 3, there are so much unnecessary "blink blink". I mean, it's a war, war doesn't look "blink blink". That's why i prefer COD.

And Street Mix, i think i'm gonna quote what sivispacem said.

QUOTE waa waa waa I see you haven't provided any information to back up your "GTA:SA is more critically acclaimed than HL2" comment. I notice, rather ironically, that you are a Max Payne lover? The third one is quite fluid and complex but one and two are just rail shooters, so whose the "linear" fan-boy now?

[oysterbarron]

Thats the thing they have to balance performance and the halflife 2 engine like the old hl engine is well balanced between different setups they can maximize the people they can push the game to not everyone has great rigs. And this doesnt look half bad compared to how dated duke NUkem forevers graphics turned out like.

Yes I'm a troll because I prefer fun games to linear shooter you don't want to complete again. Yes it's IMO. Speaking of awards - GTA SA has more GotY awards. Heard of that game? You should try it sometimes instead of shooting monsters for 147th time.

LOL, you're a fail troll, who can't appriciate a good videogame when he sees one.
Begone!

In fairness, Source is an old engine that's been well-refreshed, and yes it look dated in some circumstances. But it implements lots of very impressive graphical and lighting capabilities that are seldom seen even in the newer engines that are available. The "overhauling the visuals" aspect is comparatively easy in comparison to building a bug-free, versatile and well-engineered basic engine like Source is (very difficult to argue against that, its one of the most stable engines available and the balance between performance and being compatible with all but the very worst system specs is bang on). And that's before we get onto the physics engine, with is still first-rate.

Source is old, but its still got plenty of development capability left in it- partially because it was so well engineered in the first place, and partially because they didn't compromise on performance by building it for a console and then porting it to PC.

I'd say that animations are the only things that look quite dated in source. They need to overhaul them, character movement looks very dated. The facial stuff is still pretty darn good though.

Apart from that the engine has been upgraded with every game release. Portal 2 looks considerably better than Portal 1 for example. Plus it runs on a huge range of machines.

BMS time/Valve Time/Duke Nukem Time/Blizzard time?

So we'll finally get our hands on the finished, polished and released product in roughly 3 years?

[OnePiece]

Ive been a part of the BMS community for a super long time and know a few details. Id be very surprised if the mod didn't come out this year.

I wish I had a PC. I'll be waiting for the Mac release (I have one because of work) which they've promised soon. All I can do for now is watch the reviews come in.

It may have been released by the time their website loads.
