Originally founded by community member Surfrock22 on the 4th of June, 2009, the Message to Valve calls for increased communication between Valve and the Half-Life community, concerning the status of the next installment in the Half-Life series. It is a petition of sorts, though it currently only inhabits a forum thread on the official HL2: Episode Two Steam Forums.
But, no matter – for it has finally hit 1,000 signatures: the project’s original goal. With that in mind, Surfrock is now working on an official e-mail, which he plans to send to both Doug Lombardi and Gabe Newell. Let’s hope he gets some sort of response – and here’s to E3 2011!
Thanks to Atreus for correcting a silly little error I made.
Get back in the cooler. Now.
Another small error:
Source 2010 didn’t come out yet and no port was made, Portal 2 will be the first game using this engine protocol so we will probably not see it before next year.
It’s 2010. They updated it in 2010. Next year it will be 2011. Portal 2 comes out in 2011. I don’t see why we can’t call the new engine branch “Source 2010”.
Protocol 15 a.k.a. Source 2009 was the port we got this year in may, Portal 2 was developed and planned to be released on Source 2010 (dynamic lighting, fluid physics etc) and I believe that will be released on the same engine protocol unless they will make a new one in 2011.
They won’t make an entirely new engine branch four months before the release of the game.
Exactly, that is why I call it Source 2010.
Sheesh, who knows at this point?
I wonder if there’s been a single post where Vic doesn’t get in some sort of argument.
Nope, pretty sure there hasn’t.
Good work surfrock22 and SPUF, Hopefully Gabe will respond to that.
Well my sigs in there somewhere! Lets hope we get something back.
