Valve confirms work on Source 2 engine
Valve boss Gabe Newell has confirmed the Half-Life studio is indeed working on a new iteration of its Source Engine reports CAG. Asked by visiting 4chan members if the company is working on 'Source 2', Newell replied (captured in the video below): "We've been working on new engine stuff for a while, we've just been waiting for a game to roll it out with." Asked if that meant an "entirely new engine" rather than a simple extention, the Valve boss replied: "yeah."
Source was introduced with Half-Life 2 in 2004, and has since been tweaked and upgraded with the releases of Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Left 4 Dead and Portal 2.
The 'Source 2' news hardly comes as a surprise of course; earlier this year more than 60 references to a "next-gen" engine were discovered in script files behind recently-released Source Filmmaker.
The Counter-Strike developer has previously bragged its engine is "considered the most flexible, comprehensive, and powerful game development environment out there. And it's about to get even better."

Not the way AMD are going. I installed Linux the other day and now all I am getting is the desktop wallpaper.
I guess one can dream though.
