So, Valve announced Source 2 at GDC this afternoon.

One of the most important things, though, is this quote from Valve's Jay Stelly:

This follows the recent announcement that Unreal Engine 4 was going free.

I'd be more interested in seeing them port all existing Source games to the new engine than getting new releases.

January last year, screenshots leaked of L4D2's plantation level "ported to Source 2."

Somewhere in that timeframe, someone visiting Valve

Late last year, the alpha of DOTA2's workshop tools appeared with all new version of Hammer and stuff.

So, there's a good chance that Valve is porting at least some games over. I thought I saw a screenshot someone took of some Valve stuff that implied L4D2, DOTA2, TF2, and CS:GO were all being ported over... I can't find it at the moment, though.

Edit: Nevermind, found it, but it has no source given for the image.

I'll be very happy to see them announcing Half-life 3, they said that's already made in Source 1 but they want it in Source 2.

Why would they make hl3 with source 1? They would have just made it in source 2 since they already own the engine they wouldn't have to wait for it to be released to start making games for it..

It's heavily implied in the last link in the first post, whose image has both hl3 and hl3_imported directories.

Source = 1
Source 2 = Source + 2
1 + 2 = 3

Coincidence?
I think not!

Half-Life 3 confirmed

You would have been better off pointing out that Valve announced Source 2 at their 3/3 3pm EDT press conference thingy.

People are already making videos/posts of porting games to Source 2.
This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrO1ZQltYjw
made by 3kliksphilip, a well known cs:s mapper/ cs:go mapper/player has published his thoughts on Source 2 port of cs:go, some of which are good points, still raise the fact that he couldn't be more wrong. There would be no reason for valve to waste time and resources on porting a game that is so successful like that to a new engine, especially since it would introduce multiple issues and possible bugs. I could see them remaking tf2 in the new source engine with more modding, or something. Which brings up another valid point, every one wants a new engine but there's a 50% chance the old hud elements will no longer exist (hud text, hint text, radio menus, etc)

BTW: These screenshots show nothing, they are most likely faked. So dont reply to my post saying theres "cs2" in that directory! As it does not prove a damn thing.
