Leaked Source 2 Screenshot?

A post on NeoGAF shows a presentation slide alleged to be a screenshot of Left 4 Dead 2's Plantation Level rebuilt in Source engine 2.0. This is unconfirmed, and there is no explanation of why this would be in "crazy buttocks on a train"'s possession. Thanks All Games Beta.

Also the shots dont look at all "gamey" imo, there is no hint that these are taken from a game (no hud, weapons, placeholders, items , signs of interactivity in the game world.) These look like renderings from some 3D/CAD program imo.

Those are exactly the types of images released when a company wants to show off the graphical quality of a new engine. Just do a Google Image Search for "cryengine 3".

I'm calling fake on this. The "valve confidential" is just too obvious for this "leak" and so is that conveniently placed valve logo slide.. Also the shots dont look at all "gamey" imo, there is no hint that these are taken from a game (no hud, weapons, placeholders, items , signs of interactivity in the game world.) These look like renderings from some 3D/CAD program imo.

Imagine a valve employing presenting source2 with these slides to some insider, why would you show 5 dull shots of the same building, and no hint of interactivity, or dynamic lighting etc? let alone a remake from an old game? I dont buy this for one second.

I'm surprised because I thought it was dated, and I thought it was dated because no AAA games used it. I'm wrong about the Source engine, there's life in the old girl yet.

Why are you surprised its using Source? It will be released on the XBOX 360 as the lowest common denominator. Say what you will but that system is fucking ancient, and Source is a great and very efficient engine. There is nothing surprising about an old engine being chosen for what will be a last generation console port. (Yay for 6 vs 6 gameplay! & some bots!)

Update to Source engine is way overdue.

Haven't they been continually updating it over the years, adding new bits of technology to it? Get rid of the damn loading screens and I'll be happy with it.

The last major upgrade that I can think of was the "Lost Coast" level for HL2.

Is this sarcasm?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_engine#Modularity_and_notable_upgrades

That pretty much backs up what DangerDog said, no? That only lists soft particles and hardware facial animations as new features, neither as big as HDR in my opinion. The other stuff, platform support, has nothing to do with how modern the engine is.

I just found it funny that you picked essentially the first update of hundreds and called it the last major one (it wasn't even on that list). I'd say the last major one was for Portal 2, that was the last one they were calling "Source 2".

What wasn't on that list, Lost Coast? I assume DangerDog was referring to the HDR effects that Lost Coast introduced in 2004 but which that article credits to DoD:S in 2005. Hundreds of updates? I was going off the list that you linked to and there's a grand total of 3 updates listed that actually modernise the engine.

I'm surprised that Titanfall will be using Source, I wonder what changes it has from Valve's Source games. That should push it.

Source has evolved but the last few Source engine games I've played stick out due to their dated graphics and interface. It's a solid, fast, and reliable engine and some really good games such as The Stanley Parable use it to good effect, but it doesn't look as pretty or feel as modern as games like Crysis 3 - which isn't entirely a bad thing, Source's dated menu is a lot nicer than Crysis's nonsense.

Maybe it would be nicer if it was used in a big budget game but I can't remember the last time such a game used the Source engine. Perhaps that says it all.

Titanfall is using Source. They've said they will consider opening it up for modding... They should just put it on the Workshop and allow for custom maps and such, that will make it a big hit on PC.

If they were smart they would. I can see that being a big selling point for a lot of people.

Yeah if you play Ep2, Portal 2, and even L4D2, and compare it to Lost Coast there is a massive difference. Lost Coast is so old it was actually a showcase for HDR lighting and some shader effects.

The last major upgrade that I can think of was the "Lost Coast" level for HL2. Left for Dead 2 seemed pretty rough around the edges in terms of detail.
Portal 2 introduced some new functionality that they put to good use. Still, I would agree that it hasn't really been heavily upgraded since HL2:LC.

According to the comments, this isn't the first time CBOAT (as they call him) has provided such a leak. If it is just a fan mod of the level, though, I hope they upload it to Workshop.
