Source 2!

[Xanthi]

Of course it's awesome that Source 2 will finally arrive. But it feels kinda like a left over after the big announcements of Epic and Unity. Also no video or screens of the new tech yet...

yeah pics or it didn't happen !

Come to think of it, this is pretty lame. Yeah, Source 2 will come, as if we didn't know that already, but we ain't showing you dick yet. I would have preferred that they waited until they were ready to show something. I know, some people can never be satisfied. 

[FMPONE]

I agree that the Unreal stuff has managed to totally overshadow this. Volvo feeling competition for once!??

[Beck]

I guess it's kind of a good thing (for Valve) that they didn't show it off. It'd probably be better for Valve to show off Source 2 once the hype for UE4 has died down so they don't have to compete with the noise UE4 is making?

[MaK]

You just wait for the glNext session tomorrow morning. There's no reason for Valve to be there without having anything to show.

Sounds like Source 2 is going to be absolutely free to use once it's available. However, any product you are wanting to release will HAVE to be on Steam. Which explains why Valve can release the dev tools for free.

Free except the 30% that Valve take from selling your game on Steam?

[FMPONE]

There's no point acting as if numbers are fixed. If Epic's marketplace starts putting real pressure on Steam the revenue cuts will just lower in response, etc

[SamCom]

Obviously probably not the same leap forward, but it'd be cool if the Source 2 reveal was anything like this was for Source/HL2:

The first comment in the RPS article raises a very reasonable question. "Does that mean you automatically get approved on Steam?"

I was thinking about this earlier! But like... if they showed this, ported to the Source 2

I was thinking about this earlier and am unsure. Valve may make a few changes to their Greenlight system to accommodate for Source 2

[blackdog]

As far as I remember they said themselves that greenlight is faulty… it was my understanding that the system is gonna go completely, but maybe it was just speculation.

This is like watching a bootleg gig video from the 70s.

[Seldoon182]

This is enough to get me hype.
