As someone who worked retail I can confirm this. A fellow co-worker had to ask me to pay for him at Subway when his card got declined, then the very next week after payday he's buying Call of Duty. I was less than pleased with the turn of events.

it is? I have a 1055t which is considered to be a bad CPU for gaming and I ran TF2 at 60 FPS maxed with zero slowdown

Sounds interesting. Much more interesting than another military shooter, for me.
I'll keep an eye on the PC version.

and the relatively poly starved everything... plus the world building is really primitive for detailed environments.
The game engine also does not have unified lighting and shadowing leading to some strange gears of war 1 like lighting at times.
Yeah bad phrasing, I don't mean CPU HEAVY, meant it relies more on CPU than ya card.
My 5770 gets 60-120 on anything source wise though, shouldn't be an issue I guess.

yea it is a pretty ancient engine, but with a good art style a game can look stunning on source.

Having gone on a model porting spree for source filmmaker a while back and from what I've seen all these years in source games, real curious how it'll play out along next gen games.
edit: I threw Halo 4's assets into sfm and here's how they turned out. Super simple port so it's just diffuse+normal mapping. Obviously it's downsampled to hell and it introduced a bunch of post effects, but I can imagine they can get real time ao in there if they wanted

if using source means they can cram as much gameplay int there as possible, good.

As I expected and posted on Neogaf it seems AI is run off the cloud is brilliant. Perfect use just like multiplayer with regards to lag effects.
I wonder how Sony will try to compete with games that van run 100+ AI objects using high end AI code?

Multiplayer gaming is....generally...CPU heavy compared to single player which...generally ...is more GPU heavy in comparison. By offloading anything they can to cloud servers...like AI or other CPU intensive tasks..you can improve gameplay greatly.Smart move. Hope it works that way on PC too.

source filmaker is pretty impressive for what it puts out. I'm expecting the next valve engine to be producing visuals somewhere in the range of the CS go film.

I think using Source is fine. I think this game won't have problems in performance, and graphics will look 'good enough'. I'm just disappointed its an FPS, but I'll wait for some gameplay.
Okay so the game will require an online connection for the AI to work?

No longer interested. Passing on this, sadly. Hope it turns out great for their own sake, though. So it's worth developing on Xbox consoles only.
It worked in Diablo 3! Oh wait.
That's assuming no latency from the cloud...

Kinda ironic that a source game will not be released on Steam
ahaha
ahaha
I suppose we'll finally know for sure if a Source license requires Valve to have the option of a Steam release.
I think they'll do just fine since they have their own cloud infastructure (that's actually been game-focused from the get-go). They were even the first to announce "the cloud" aspect in regards to their gaming platform.
Heh, this reminds me when I went back and rewatched Sony's reveal. One could intepret MS doing a "me too!" on a lot of the functions that were announced ;p

It's 60fps dudes. 60fps! That's already two 60fps games confirmed for X1. I thought everyone said no 60fps next-gen!?
An engine does not define how good textures can look, it comes down to the developer themselves and what they want to create. Just look at Skyrim, max default textures on PC don't look bad, but the modding community has shit all over anything Bethesda has done with better IQ and art design by a mile. Also, Respawn said they've rewritten a good portion of the engine so what you think of the Source engine today will not reflect what you get with Titanfall (for better or worse).

Actually based upon how those textures are stored and streamed it could heavily effect the quality of the texture art and their resolution. To illustrate what I mean take a look at how different engines stream and how good their texture work is. IdTech 5, Ue 3.0 and Battlefield all have had their texture quality positively and negatively affected by this.
That is an engine feature.

Cool concepts, excited this is the team that made Call of Duty...Bummed the exclusivity is so long, but as long as I get to play it eventually that's ok with me...I hope it recaptures the magic.
They released a few games with the engine that have proven to be quite popular.

I'm sure unless it's source 2, it will be only Source in terms of tools. Renderers and etc will receive a huge overall, this is a big production.
That is true, though as it stands Source has no problems with texture loading as everything is loaded on map load and pre-baked for most lighting.
Also, on the idea of Source 2, Valve has said in the past that they will not make a new engine as Source is extremely modular (evident by how far the engine has come since Hl2) and will just continue to upgrade it as needed. However, for the sake of argument let's say there is a Source 2, I can guarantee you that HL3 is using it and Valve wouldn't allow any other developer to show their game using it before they showed HL3.

That post was clearly on the same level as trmas' post as well. You got me good. Thanks for the enlightenment, StevieP.

I am just dumbing stuff down for the masses nor am I an expert.
Source 2 isn't just an idea. There's been several pieces of info confirming its existence.

'Confirming' is a bit strong. Otherwise, given Steam's database, a lot of pie in the sky games on the service would also be confirmed as well.
Don't think Valve rolls like that. Natural Selection 2 wanted to go down that route of Source tools on their own engine and it didn't fly with them.

This is fine with me. Will buy on PC. Fallout 4 will likely release on PC as well then, in case the timed exclusive rumours are true. So both are no reasons for me to buy the One.
MS' first party is now all that counts for me.

I don't think people were thinking of sequels to games that were 60 fps this gen (or made by teams with long 60 fps heritages) with that statement.
Of course it's 60fps. It's running on Source. We have yet to see the IQ.

The Source engine? What a crack up.

You missed some Forza 5 posts
But yeah, those game will always be 60fps. More shooters being 60fps is good news, Rage felt good on the consoles from what I have played.
It's the same two games, FZ was 60fps already, as was Call of Duty.
It's multiplayer only anyway isn't it? Cloud or not you need the internet.
