Next-gen Source engine indicated in Filmmaker files

Neat. Strange. Cool. Bewildering. I'm ready. :P

Is it weird that I'm more excited by the fact that we might be getting a new engine than possibility of episode 3 or hl3?

No big surprise, that's what they need to bring HL3 when next gen will come, old Source is... getting old.

Don't expect to see much of this new engine before 2014, they're gonna take their time

I wouldn't be surprised until they wait until Source 3 for the next Half Life.

it could them trolling shine they said there were moving on to HL3 and wen't making ep3

Gaben is our lord and master. I do hope that he, raptor jesus, and the flying spaghetti monster give unto us mere mortals Half-Life 3 from a shining and bright morning sky.

If this is true, I would hope this means that Half-Life 3 starts coming down the pike. Half-Life 2 did a great job of showing off what the original Source engine was capable of, and I think all of us here would love for Half-Life 3 to be the new engine's coming out party. 

Hmmm, an interesting development.  You can sort of start piecing things together -- Valve wouldn't want to release a new Half-Life until the engine is ready, and with Gabe's comments on Linux, it may be that the new Source engine is being coded on top of OpenGL to allow for easy cross platform porting.  Though, of course, this is all pure conjecture.

EP3 isn't happening. The next Half-Life game is, in fact, Half-Life 3.

i think the sad truth is that gabe will be the first to provide us with any even vaguely reliable information. the kind of stuff in the article is just desperately grabbing at straws.

I wouldn't put much stock in a developer's comment in a script file. There's a certain past EA title that refers to NFS ProStreet 2 in comments, and it's pretty clear that that game never made it.
