The first Half Life game debuted along with the GoldSrc engine.
Half Life 2 debuted along with the Source engine.
The Source engine is getting old, and I doubt Half Life 3 will still be running on Source by the time it comes out. My question is, will Valve release HL3 along with a new engine, or will another game debut along with a new engine before the release of HL3?
If Valve is release a new engine together with Half Life 3, then for the next 4-6 years (after EP3) Valve will have to keep the current source engine as graphically appealing as possible (if they decide to release new games), but there is only so much you can improve upon before it's obviously dated.
