This game is already giving me nightmares of being hunted down by an onslaught of relentless footsoldiers...and I haven't played it yet.

Anyone else notice the AI is looking mighty.....freaking real?

5 bucks says Carmack is slitting his wrists over being upstaged by a game almost no one knew existed.

"Damnit! For a minute there, I thought my game would be the highlight of e3. And then VALVE comes along and upstages me. BASTARDS!"

I realize that iD's bread and butter isn't games but game engines, but still.

Any idea what VALvE is using for a game engine? If anything I would figure a highly modified version of the Q3 engine.. or maybe they finally went with an inhouse one? That doesnt seem like their style since they like to concentrate on game play more so.. but an inhouse one would make sense with TF2 up comming also... But seeing as we saw screenshots from TF2 along time ago, I would think they started working on that game from the original HL engine (but modding it too).. hoyiE!

I think it's called the "Source" engine. Built from the ground up by Valve, as far as I can figure.

Doesn't take much to blow away a game that still hasn't been released, much yet had a release date announced for it. ;) Still, this game looks awesome and valve has done one hell of a job with the Source engine.

It seems the year of the games is upon us.

UT2004 (looks lik eit could be hot, all that 2k3 was meant to be)
Deus Ex 2
HL2
Doom 3
Republic: The revolution (God game extreme maybe)

And those are just games with great innovation (RE2 allowing you to play through without killing anyone, UT2k4 bringing DM, vehicles and GFX to hopefully the right level, Doom 3 with its GFX, HL2 with AI/GFX and the storyline)

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head to rock the world, but who needs more?!

Oh, and the suggestion HL2 was based off the Q3 engine, I found that comment quite funny. Not even Valve could push an engine that much.
