Wow

Is this game engine brand new? I heard its the ut2k3 engine, but that could just be bullshit. I love the real time physics and the free death animations. It really keeps the game interesting seeing the limbs flop around the screen. hehe

It's a completely new engine called Source developed by Valve

Yup The Physics is a modified Havok engine basicley its Dead good :dozey:

I'm really glad they didnt use the unreal engine, I hate the performance of that thing...long loading times etc...:x , but good graphics tho

the lighting of the engine was not as good as the one of doom3.

But you can run HL2 on a 486, I want to see you do that with Doom 3:cheese:

Valve says the minimum CPU required is a 700 MHz P3-class chip.

Now, I loved my 486 DX4/100 as much as anyone, but it had 60ns RAM (at best) on a 33MHz clock, PCI graphics, and so on.

It appears to me that above we have a study in Moore's Law, not a miraculous parity in processing power.
