Does anyone think Valve is working on a new engine?

I'm pretty sure they are considering that source is getting pretty out dated but it was fabulous while it lasted. hl2 still looks better than a lot of next gen games. I bet they are gonna be developing episode 3 with source v2.

Yes, and it will be done in Fall of 2032.

well it is still better overal than unreal 3 so they probably aren't too concerned about a new engine yet, sure they will have a new engine ready got hl3 though. imprezawrx500

Right now? In the earlier works. Just updating the Source engine seems like something more plausible.skrat_01

Exactly. With Episode 3, they are going to leave it at source. When DX11 and new consoles kick in, then they'll make a new engine (hopefully not called Source 2, yuck!).

I just wish they'd announce something. I mean it's been one and a half years since Orange Box.angelkimne

Get this. They originally had two seperate teams working on the episodes. One team worked on Episode 1 and another worked on Episode 2. When the first team finished Episode 1, they started to work on Episode 3. That means Episode 3 has been in years of development. And after the Orange Box, all of Valve has been working on Episode 3. They didn't make Left 4 Dead, that was Turtle Rock. So Valve has been working full force on Episode 3 for quite some time, even before the release of Left 4 Dead and the Orange Box.

Source supports dynamic lightning since 2007.

the debut of their new engine will be half-life 3.jack_michael

^That. Half Life 2 Episode 3 will likely be the last Valve game on the HL2 engine.

I'd guess them already 30% into their new engine atleast, it took them what 4-5 years for Half Life 2 engine so i'd imagine another 5-6 years for a new engine starting from say 2005/2006.
