Over the next few years, we used these terms internally as "Goldsource" and "Source". At that point we forked off the code in VSS to be both /$Goldsrc and /$Src. When we were getting very close to releasing Half-Life (less than a week or so), we found there were already some projects that we needed to start working on, but we couldn't risk checking in code to the shipping version of the game. Valve employee Erik Johnson explained the engine's nomenclature on the Valve Developer Community: Carmack commented on his blog in 2004 that "there are still bits of early Quake code in Half-Life 2". Thank you Dark Side of Gaming for providing us with this information.Source distantly originates from the GoldSrc engine, itself a heavily modified version of John Carmack's Quake engine with some code from the Quake II engine. As a result, it’s theoretically possible, a similar situation could occur in the future.ĭo you think there will ever be a Half Life 3? Black Mesa is an extremely high quality mod and even became accredited by Valve. Sadly, I don’t think this is a priority for them given the financial success of Steam.ĭespite this depressing note, it’s possible for fans to recreate Half Life 2 using Unreal Engine 4 with the right talent. In an ideal world, Valve could spend a great deal of their resources making a re-worked version and finally release Half Life 3. I love how the visual style has been updated without losing the iconic Half Life 2 look.
The re-worked art assets and lighting model makes for a fantastic and almost eerie appearance. Not entirely sure if its going to work, but I’ll give it a good go!” So you can run around with virtual reality.
I’m not going to release it just yet, as I would really like to get it working with Oculus Rift before I do. “Just so you know, I do plan to release this scene online for people to play around with. Today, ‘PogoP’ announced the City 17 Apartment map will be publicly available once complete and said: One pertinent example comes from Polycount member, ‘PogoP’, who shared a number of stunning screenshots of the infamous City 17 Apartment from Half Life 2 remastered in Unreal Engine 4. Some of them looked out of place, while others illustrate the unbelievable potential of this particular engine. Over the past few months, we’ve seen a huge array of gaming mascots and other projects emerge in fan-created Unreal Engine 4 demos.
