That's wild if true. I remember Gaben admitting to Source 1 tools being a pain in the ass to work with so they go and make another engine that is difficult to work with? Hmmmm...

Can't believe this message because of the 'III' in the bottom left-hand corner.
Based on what? Over my time with it, it's been infinitely better to work with than the Source SDK.
Curious where you've heard this. I have nothing but good things to say about the Source 2 toolset, but at the same time I wasn't making an entire game with it.
Yep.
Too bad he didn't also add "stay tuned for the real thing tho!"
Remember when Valve announced Source 2 in March 2015 (over 4 years ago!) and said they would release it free to all developers and hyped how amazing it would be...
And then they abandoned it like the majority of their projects.
Damn, I don't think they'd be bold enough to switch over to the Unreal Engine given all of the business they're losing to them now.
If they weren't so steadfast in keeping their employee count around 300, it really would make sense to just buy Unity. Could leave it untouched on the console side, but have similar deals that Epic does with their engine.
The Lab was mostly made in Unity. One of their supposed three VR games is Unity. They've released some really great Unity plugins for SteamVR (from lessons learned working with the Unity engine).
It just hit me: we haven't heard anything about this VR Unity game either;) So engine isn't the only issue here.
Yea those assets were the main thing that caught my eye. No way a random guy just and those. Too much attention to detail.
Edit: Oh fuck. No one saw that.
the idea that i'll have to probably buy a whole new gaming pc when the next valve game ever comes out, fills me with anxiety
People involved in making it or with knowledge of it likely uploaded it and spread it
You think its to expensive? what do you think 3d artist should be paid?. This paintcan can easily eat up half a day of work if not more. Hourly rates are usually between 30 and 60
When it comes to Valve games is always team "not happening" unless it's an online games full of lootboxes, or an IP they created before 2011.
Valve love them some ARG.
I really cant see them just putting a video like this out immediately.

Maybe i'm missing something here. Can't more than 1 person buy it? (for example, a game costs millions of dollars and years to make but sells for $60)
The person making the can will surely make more than 1 sale or is that not allowed?
Is each item unique and once sold no other person can buy it? If that's the case then the price is fine
How do we know that someone didn't just modify the HTML in gmail and write a "response" from "Gabe"
It'd be interesting modifying the HTML on the phone. For now, I also believe it's fake
This doesn't display the email address. They could have just made an account with his name if its not just an edited picture.
Absolutely has the hallmarks of an E3 reveal trailer.
"what is this... what is this... ladders? diagrams and maps on walls... is this?? ok Zombies ok... YO... YO... IS THIS..? IS THIS?? *four fingered hand shows up* OHHHHHHHHH SHIIT! LEFT 4 DEAD!!!"
A well-made/shot trailer even if fake.

Nah. Has to be something. That slightly accentuated, slightly cartoony hyper-reality art style is exactly how L4D looks, and the production value aside from that is wild.
If it's not real, whoever made this is incredibly talented. It's genuinely one of the most well cut, well produced teasers I've ever seen.

i emailed him though lol
I don't think he'd reply fake if it was real but rather just not reply at all. shrug, I'm not sure.
I don't think it's real anymore though and it breaks my heart :-( Give me some fuckin games valve!

Source film maker is available to the public and people have made tons of high quality videos using it.
Check out Agent Gunn, the orginal assets featured in the video are high enough quality that they could be TF2 Valve assets (pretty much everything is Valve quality aside from the animations not being as good as what Valve brings to the table):
If there had actually been characters in it I think it would have been much easier to tell because Valve has some of the best animators in the game business.
He is already selling it for far cheaper than it would actually take him, and the chance of it actually selling is normally very low since there are thousands on thousands of competing assets. You make something without knowing if it will sell, so you price it attractively hoping people will pick it up and use it in their projects. Your thoughts on this are quite unsettling as a developer and artist. Artists need to make a living and artists making turbosquid models actually earn far less than what 3d modelers earn at a studio (and even their wages are typically quite low)
Pulled this one from a talk about the future of AI technologies being used in game development (note, those costs are mainly spread out over multiple artists on AAA games)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlgLxSLsYWQ (that slide is from 5:33 min in)
Making game ready 3d models is time consuming and labour intensive and companies pay the hour wages while freelancers and hobbyists have to rely on indivisual sales to make some money and its hard to survive doing that as an individual. They need to sell more and more since they also pay their own taxes on it, dont have healthcare via company etc. you are a business in a way and its not easy. So yeah that model should be more expensive but its already driven to the minimum.
