source 2 is just the next improvement and it looks good.
It's very far behind other engines, doesn't even support DLSS.

Oh come on, Valve certainly weren't the first to use lootboxes and they certainly weren't the first to use microtransactions in their games. If people want to spend their money on useless cosmetics let them, their microtransactions don't impact their games in any way
TF2 massively popularised loot boxes, they were nowhere near as successful or prominent before it.

Could possibly be due to the fact that Garry's Mod is built on a dying game, itself is which is built on a dead engine. Hard to imagine that there won't be renewed interest in the gamemode especially if Valve releases another Half-Life game in the near future
Well good luck to whoever picks up the torch, I hope they're prepared with how utter dogshit it is to deal with.

Think I'll stop responding about the sandbox stuff now, it's pretty clearly that even if I went into actual details it's not going to change much for people. Enjoy what you want, if that's sandbox then so be it, but I'm personally not interested in any way and have no plan to continue HL2 RP in it.

Oh no that was just my initial impression. Its still super impressive for what it is, for sure.
Yeah man what 77 said too.

It looks good, and I imagine we'll see some crazy source 2 maps for sandbox, especially with the new hammer.

Source 2 looks great. Just skimming the Half Life Alyx workshop for 3 minutes brings you up this stuff:

Looks impressive if you compare it to what you have now, which is source 1 with 2004 assets. Any game made today that's as big of a deal as hl:a looks much better

The humans in hl:a look like ass, lacking all sorts of basic shading techniques that have been standard for years. Presumably to save on performance in vr, but that also means the engine just lacks that rendering ability until valve decides to do something about it (i.e never)
[doublepost=1615756107][/doublepost]No water shader since it was never used in hl:a so garry had to make his own and it looks like a wet tarp
[doublepost=1615756187][/doublepost]Tooling is awful so garry has to make his own tools on top of the valve ones, which are even more shit

will sandbox "kill" gmod?
i feel like a big reason gmod is so popular is because its easy to run and has a lot of (modded) content already

that’s what it’s supposed to be LOL
the original didn't have bags of concrete and waist-high concrete walls scattered everywhere

still a welcome improvement over the source 1 remake

Honestly I‘d like to see a HL2RP server on S&Box, but not from Nebulous.

Thanks for that, lol.
Yeah, I don‘t want you guys to lose double the braincells by making a S&Box server, I‘d much rather see someone else tackle that.
