Oh my GOD!

This here is a short little news story at Gamespot. Let's just say it involves a company named 'Valve' and a game that ends with '2'

Well.. this should be interesting..

 

[KenM]

It will be shown, will it just be screen shots or a movie? Or will the people at E3 be able to play it???

 

[Welverin]

Well that's all I've seen so far, but the even the fact they have something to show after all these years and mods turned retail games is a major accomplishment.

Cool, I know the first booth I'll be running over to Wednesday morning... Well maybe Doom 3 first since I was too busy to wait in line last year.

Rumor has it that the engine used for HL2 looks better, and runs almost twice as fast as the Doom 3 engine.

I believe they said they where getting 70fps on a 1.7Ghz system with a Geforce 3.

Of course, this is just rumor at this point, but I bet it has ID biting their fingernails.

Speaking of id software, I'm still miffed over Doom 3 being awarded Game of the Show at last year's E3. If it weren't for the leaked demo post-E3, we'd know squat about the game (we barely know more than that right now) besides the fact that is has nice graphics. Oh, joy.

For a game to be a viable GOTS contender, I think it should be in a playable form for the public attendees. Also, I think once a game has received a GOTS award, it should be automatically ineligible for subsequent GOTS awards, regardless if it receives multiple showings over a number of E3's due to delays and various prolonged development periods.

Check these bad boys out!
