Open Source Version (After 4.3) Suggestions
kraid:
I think it's still possible to do do amazing things with the Source engine, too.
The only thing that prevents this is Valves "release update, see what it breaks and eventually release a fix someday" philosophy combined with an asset pipeline from the last century.
Dear Esther, Stanley Parable and BMS showed that beautifull graphics are still possible with source.
I'd even say some of the best looking maps on source were made for our mod.
Just look at maps like casino, caverns, facility, silo, etc.
Also the fact that it's not exactly hard to get into mapping and modding on source (if the tools work) makes it ideal for community created content.
On engines like UDK, you're not able to do much without an excessive ammount of models and frankly their bsp tools suck.
In the end my relationship to source is more or less 50% love and 50% hate and i guess some others will feel similar.

This this this x1000.
The reason I haven't gotten around to making *anything* in UDK yet is because of how model based the level design process is. I LOVE the fact that Source allows you to pull off crazy things with just BSP if you know what you're doing, it allows the level designer to quickly implement cool architecture and block out maps much faster. The whole BSP thing is the only reason I prefer Source over anything else. Literally the single reason.

Man, Valve really needs to catch up. Just look at Infinity Ward and their amazing fish AI.

Super Mario Sunshine has better fish AI, where have they been this past decade. XD
