Valve Source Engine For The 360?
Published by hq_hacker_girl on Monday, October 16, 2006
It seems Valve have offered Xbox 360 developers use of their infamous Source Engine. For people that do not know what this is, basically its Middleware. A game engine ready for use which helps developers get their games to market quicker and cheaper than actually creating their own game engine.
Valve have used their engine to very good effect with games such as
Half-Life 2 and a whole host of spin off mods such as
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Counter Strike: Source for PC.
So what does this mean for the 360? A Counter Strike game would be very nice, but generally it could mean some very nice games heading our way with such a powerful and established engine.
With the forthcoming
Half-Life 2 heading our way early 2007 which includes
Episode 1 and 2,
Team Fortress 2 and Portal a new type of game valve seem to be trying out which has a rather imaginative gun and encourages you to blast
Prey-like portals into floors and walls for all manner of object shifting and puzzle solving we can expect some rather nice games coming out over the next few years.
