Source 2?

[「Sk™」]

Hi,

I kinda love Black Mesa, my issue that I can never finish it. Can we get Source 2 before I finish the game please?

Are you asking for Source 2 on Black Mesa? That isn't happening, at the very least officially. Crowbar Collective moved on, they're working on their own IP now.

Well making it possible to be ported should be considered tho

That is not how game engines work, buddy

There are some major differences between Source 1 and Source 2, they're different engines with different implementations and functions. It's not easy at all to port a game the scale of Black Mesa from Source 1 to Source 2's asset formats and code.

I wasn't asking for easy.

This isn't to say a Source 2 version is out of the question, but it all depends on Valve. If they want a Source 2 version, they could contract Crowbar to do it one day after Crowbar finishes their original game first. There's also even odds Valve could do it themselves or contract another studio to do it if Crowbar can't.

It's also possible Valve can just make a Half-Life 1 in Source 2 and not use anything from Crowbar's Black Mesa. Or Valve could make its own take on Black Mesa without using anything from Crowbar's version.

We just have to wait and see what the future holds. Provided if Valve just doesn't up and do Half-Life Alyx 2 followed by Alyx 2 Episode 1 and Alyx 2 Episode 2 first. <.<

you're asking for like a year or two of dev time to fix everything that would horrendously break and completely overhauling the entire engine, the lighting, the rendering, everything. that's a lot of work for 0 profit and i really can't imagine they'd do that for free.
they've been working on this game for a very long time and i'd imagine they want to make at least one game of their own and not basically cover another artist's song before they die

If you're asking for this because you saw counter strike 2, keep in mind thats not just a simple port. valve basically just REMADE the game from the ground up to port it into source 2.
I already have trouble believing valve could do something like that as is, that has to be out of the cards for crowbar collective. their probably too busy working on their next project to even bother with an undertaking that big.

so.... so far from watching this
Valve doesnt hand out source 2 licences to just anyone, so even if they DID port this to source 2 they wouldn't be able to turn a profit from it and the game would be limited to just running on s&box.
We also have to take into account that black mesa runs on a HEAVILY modified version of the source engine, probably even moreso than CS:GO so it would be more than just a simple port.

my guy, forced innovation is the worst kind of innovation. These things take time and that is good, because else they look like whatever you posted above. There is no reason to port this game, it looks gorgeous and will still hold up in the years to come. If it works and is not broken, why """"""fix"""""" it?
