[@Orincaby]

it's hard to believe that apex legends, a game with a HUGE map, runs on the source engine (which hates big maps)

[@Spookoffi]

I don't understand the "hates big maps" part pls explain
If you mean it lags in big maps then you have an ancient machine

[@Spookoffi]

@Aaron Kerker oh i get what you mean when the source engine was released the pc's weren't that powerful to run everything in one map so its divided by rooms so it looks big but it isn't
Thanks for the explanation k saw some big maps made by the community and i looked at this and i was like "wtf wym?" lol

[@dealvro]

Because Respawn Entertainment uses source when he made titanfall 1

[@AmbientStudios]

I imagine it's a heavily modified version of source. I doubt they just straight-up used source as it was.

So is artifact

[@dbgtbrasil5]

@GameCraft But source is a derivative of goldsrc wich is a derivative of the quake engine. That's not how the engines should be considered in my opinion.

This is a tremendous improvement from the first video, Great job.

[@GameForestGF]

Thank you 💕

[@wolfcl0ck]

I respect someone that does their homework, but for the Portal Still Alive showcase, you probably should have shown off a bonus chamber instead of a chamber that's in regular Portal. Also, and yes, I know that one's derived from the other, but there really is a line you have to draw between Source and Source 2. They aren't the same engine.

This video could go include some Quake engine games as its origin but you do have to draw the line somewhere.

[@notraeon]

source is far from being the quake engine. goldsrc was the engine that was based on the quake engine and was very similar. source is much farther from being like the quake engine.

[@laksirabderrahmane3292]

Source hasn't aged that well. Even developers aren't using source to create games anymore.
