Support NeoGAF

[TouchMyBox]

I have no clue what's going on in this thread or what the reference to Microsoft is, so I will ask if this is indicative of something exclusive to Microsoft?

nothing to do with microsoft other than valve might or might not still be making games for xbox.

 

[iceatcs]

lulz... ok

I know it is hurt to be wrong or high exception. It is just simple HL's cross-hair.

But hey cheers up, at least it gave more possibility on next Half Life might coming soon.

Well surely the mentioning of Microsoft is better than Sony not being mentioned, no?

 

[JaseC]

 

[OnionPowder]

Same cross-hair as HL - the Orange box. (NOT L4D or PORTAL cross hair.)

THEREFORE Half Life is coming.

Or they're doing Half Life Source 2 like they did with Half-Life 1.

Also didn't they change the crosshairs later on?

That could be PC or Lost Coast crosshair.

GAF, I can't decide if this is something I should shrug about or lose my shit about.

Decide for me.

 

[Interfectum]

Stroke?

I'd say shrug for now and lose your shit about it in the near future

 

[Drkirby]

Why the fuck are you guys posting all the Xbox 360 stuff, I'm pretty sure thats basic Source Engine Assists and not for Dota 2.

 

[Hayvic]

I made a video of the Dota 2 client Source Engine 2 version here, if anyone is interested. It appears to mostly be the same, although a few things are missing and some bugs are present. Loading times are far superior.

Oh my! Those load times! Thanks for this.

Neither. Valve has put their new engine into the wild starting with Dota 2. They chose Dota 2 first most likely to give the custom map makers the new Source 2 tools.

Why no shrug? Because now we know Source 2 is ready for prime time. It's real, it's happening and being battle tested on their most popular game.

Why not lose shit? Because it's Valve and we probably wont hear about anything else until next year.

So you could go with a "Huh, cool."

 

[Stallion Free]

Hopefully CSGO gets moved over soon as well.

I'm capable of losing my shit for a year.

With all the comments Valve made about Microsoft in the last 2 years and that their policies are very different, it would surprise me, when they are going exclusive Xbox. Gave criticized Sony alot for the PS3 and its architecture and Microsoft uses a bad architecture for the ONE. Furthermore Sony seems to be a lot more consumer friendly and open ( Network, Peripherals and so on) and this is what Gave Newell likes. Unless Microsoft opened a very big bank account I can't see Valve going exclusiv.

Garry, not Gave.

 

[Randdalf]

You can convert the new map source format (vmap) into a KeyValues 2 file using dmxconvert in dota_ugc/game/bin/win64/

 

[TheHollowNight]

Garry, not Gave.

[heyf00L]

Sounds like it'll be really easy for them to make the HL:Source equivalent for their old games. Maybe even like how they ported HL2 to the Orange Box engine, as an update.

i remember a valve rep saying they want to reach fans on as many platforms as possible

 

[RMS Gigantic]

The games are coming.
The games with 3's are coming.

Nah, they're just doing this so they can slightly improve the hats in Team Fortress 2, keep Dota 2 going, and find more ways to sell unfinished, hardly functioning (nowadays often eternally "early access") indie games to their users for them to make excuses to justify the existence of.

Not really comparable. And unless you noticed, Valve and Sony kind of kissed and made up.

 

[Castef]

No way they are supporting Xbox One with the new engine. Gabe started a big war against Microsoft and its Windows, it would make no sense. Also, some time ago a NeoGaf user working for Valve leaked some screenshots of the Source 2 engine to cboat. That would probably mean bad news for Xbox One in relation to Source 2. I'd exclude support for it for now.

 

[Orayn]

I wouldn't read too much into the "Xbox" stuff, it'ss just a general sign that Source 2 still has some controller- and console-oriented elements. Probably not an indication of any specific console project, and definitely not some Xbox-exclusive thing.

Please don't.

Get out of here

 

[Marjar]

Oh man.

Oh God.

Is it actually happening?

 

[robotrock]

Wow this just gets more and more interesting

 

[Darkangel]

No. Dota 2 doesn't actually use it yet either if I have understood it correctly. Just the alpha of the newly released mod tools for DOta 2.

So DOTA2 is still Source 1, but since Source 2 is backwards compatible we can use the Source 2 Hammer to edit it?

 

[Kacho]

What the hell is happening here? haha

 

[rakkadakka]

I'm ready for Ricochet 2 and Day of Defeat 2.

You're my best friend.

 

[legacyzero]

Ok, Fluffy. You need to stop this. My students are giving me the strangest look because of my outburst of laughter.

Stahp.

 

[Volcane]

Lol, wonder if she knew how silly she looked. Think she was imitating someone, as I think she says 'looked like this'.

Garry, not Gave.

Joke? If not it's Gabe.

At least you didn't mention Episode Four again; the game never existed.

You don't know Garry????

That'd be nice.

I can appreciate why Valved canned Return to Ravenholm, but I really would've liked to have seen an Arkane-made Half-Life game.

Maybe someday.

Why did the Starcraft 2 "custom game" scene never flourish like it did in WC3/BW. Is that type of gaming scene is dead? SC2 Arcade is free too.

I hope DOTA 2 scene will pick up the custom games torch like the late 90s early 2000s...

Pretty sure the restrictive publishing system was at fault. Not 100% sure though.

"Custom" and "MOBA" are two words I'd like to never see together in a phrase.

(Also... Why are we talking about Blizzard here?)

 

[Kampfheld]

From "Dota 2 coming to XBO" to "Source 2 will not run on XBO". GAF.

 

[TouchMyBox]

... You do know that the vast majority of custom dota modes will probably not be MOBAs, right?

Dota 2 is going to have map editors and all that, isn't it? Dota began as Warcraft 3 mod, and if Dota 2 gets tools for modding, it may take over the custom scene Warcraft 3 had but that doesn't flourish quite as well in SC2.

DOTA itself was a custom game mode. Fuck are you talking about?
