These are samples they send to potential investors. Screenshots taken from a real time engine demo that is being produced for Half-Life 3 and other next gen games. The engine name is currently unknown, but more info will probably surface when these get spread around more...

wow

If those are real, WHO NEEDS CRYSIS! :P

Amazing...They all look real, but the top one is incrediably amazing.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

i can't imagine what min reqs are, but that can't run easily for a few more years at least.

Even if that was real, I don't think it looks good at all for a game.

I like that somebody in the comments section didn't quite get it:

Can't wait until the game is released, it's looking good so far! "

How so?

what makes it look so good is the detail on the textures, this isnt something compx and it could be done today. instead of using flat textures on everything.

I do agree, i dont want my games looking life like.

now got them from my inside source who will remain anonymous for now...

As soon as i read that for anything, %99 of the time it is fake. just pics taken with a low ISO and long aperature.

ROFL, nice, had me for maybe a few seconds...

sry guys

like i said,i didn't know yay or nay anyways

At least these photos were better than those ones with the crowbar awhile back.

To me... they almost look like paintings.

Yeah this the only thing I will agree with here...

I bet Valve is hardly even working on Half Life 3 engine yet, they are going to make HL2 Episodes to continue to rake in the money.

They are in the middle of a beta test of the new Source engine right now.

yeah they have a unique look to them because of the exposure, the pic wityh the persons in it from the link makes it look more real, it also looks like they wre cropped and downsized giving it the sligtly jaggie look.

"We are enabling a new Source Engine Beta system. This will allow you to run Source games with the latest beta version of the engine. You can use this feature to ensure mods will be compatible with a soon to be released version of the Source engine"
Sounds to me like like they're talking about beta patches for the current Source engine.
