Source Engine 2 is likely to arrive eventually, but it’s not top priority, it seems: Chet Faliszek explains why Valve don’t want to replace the tech that’s powered all their games since Half-Life 2.
One of the only ways to play CS:GO on official servers is via the Xbox 360 version of the game.
I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)
Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.
About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.
The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.
Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
to kind of sum up the whole article
Question: Why have you not yet moved on to source engine 2
Valve: if it ain't broke don't fix it
however I doubt this engine will be able to work on consoles
I think they can get away with it on current gen consoles, but they really need to replace it for the 720 and PS4.
Will still be ok for Wii U though.
I don't think the author really understood what Faliszek was saying. He was saying that Valve continuously updates the Source engine, and at some point they'll update it so much that it'll be Source 2. Not that they're working on an entirely new engine. They'll just overhaul Source significantly.
His exact quote: “We just update it, not just replace it,” ... “[at] some point we may say there’s Source 2 or whatever, but really for us there’s been a pretty easy way to keep it and understand the tools.”
It's part of the reason why I think we havent seen HL3 yet, if it is going to be Half life 3 instead of Episode 3 then I think Valve would want to show the SE2 off with Gordons next adventure.....it would draw in even more attention from console owners since it would be showing off the next HL
