Left 4 Dead 3, Source 2 Seen In Valve Offices (Rumor)

Left 4 Dead 3, Source 2 Seen In Valve Offices (Rumor)Have you ever played any of the Left 4 Dead series? It is definitely a different take on the undead genre, and who knew that the undead themselves have different classes to torment the still living? Well, there are whispers going around that Left 4 Dead 3 is in active development – alongside the long awaited Source Engine 2, or at least according to some competitors in Valve’s Dota 2 championships, The International, who toured around Valve’s offices this week itself. Needless to say, any photo can be doctored these days, accompanied by some rather outlandish claims, so do take this bit of news with a pinch of salt.

It must be noted too, that Valve founder Gabe Newell has allegedly said to have confirmed that Source 2 is in the pipeline and in due time, it should be released for the masses. Has it been so long already, that Left 4 Dead 2 was released in 2009? Boy, how fast does time fly, and considering how it was only a year between the first Left 4 Dead title, the third version of the game is long overdue, at least in the books of fans of the game.

    Valve reportedly preparing second-generation Source engine, kinda explains the Episode Three delay

    Valve reportedly preparing secondgeneration Source Engine, kinda explains the Episode Three delay

    ValveTime has dug through the Source Filmmaker code to reveal references to “Source 2,” reportedly a next-generation revamp of Valve’s famous game engine. Given that the three major consoles are all due a refresh, it’s unsurprising to see preparations being made. That said, however, the second (and major) launch title for the original Source was Half Life 2, so we’re gonna be getting a complaint letter ready if we don’t get some more time with Gordon, Alyx and Dog in a beautifully rendered future dystopia.

    Valve Source Filmmaker makes a movie out of any Source game, now you’re directing with Portals (video)

    Valve Source Filmmaker makes a movie out of any Source game, now you're directing with Portals video

    Creating machinima with a video game engine usually requires accepting one of two truths: either that it will require a lot of fudging or that it will have all the sophistication of playing with action figures. Valve Software isn’t very happy with that dichotomy, which is why it’s posting its very own movie-making tool, Source Filmmaker, as a public beta. Any game that runs on the Source engine, whether it’s Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2 or another in the family, can have gameplay run-throughs edited and dissected right down to custom facial expressions. As Valve expounds in the video after the break, throwing a gaming-grade PC at the task gives directors the advantage of seeing exactly how any changes will look in the final scene; there’s no rough wireframes or pre-rendering here. Budding Francis Ford Coppolas can sign up for an invitation to the Filmmaker beta at the project page. If you’d just like to see how far someone can go with the end results, we’ve also included the latest Team Fortress 2 character profile video, Meet the Pyro, after the jump.
