As some of you may or may not be aware, this past Nov. 16th made it 6 years since Half Life 2 released. Anyway, I was recently replaying Half Life 2, Ep.1, and Ep.2 and a thought occurred to me...
Half Life 2: Nov. 16th, 2004
Half Life 2: Episode 1: June 1, 2006
Half Life 2: Episode 2: Oct. 10, 2007
The Source engine is 6 years old now, and I was thinking that even in the terms of the videogame industry... I don't think that they would even want to use the same engine that they have been using for the past 6 years. A LOT of games have been released using it. Granted, playing Half Life 2 over again made me realize again just how amazing that game engine was and how great it still is in terms of performance on whatever machine, and as well as the textures, lighting, and physics of course...
However, is perhaps the reason there hasn't been any talk of anything Half Life in a while now, because perhaps the next game will be an all new game with a all new engine? I know this is all speculation, but I really liked the Half Life 2 games... although Episode 1 was extremely short. I don't care what they release whether it's episode 3 or Half Life 3, but it would be nice to have some new info on the series.
