Need for Speed Shift meets Source Engine

PC Games published a brand new Trailer from the upcoming Source Engine Mod Shift, that unveiled the Nissan 240SX in Bosozoku Style.

And they say the Source engine is outdated.

TheBand1t5930d ago

It's certainly showing it's age in terms of visuals, though the modability is incredible.

Pandamobile5930d ago

Well, Source is designed to be accessible. The current builds of the Source engine look better than a lot of stuff coming out these days. Everything in the engine just looks really clean with crisp texture and nice anti-aliasing. Not to mention it runs like a breeze.

kaveti66165930d ago

It's gonna harder for Valve to move on to another engine because so many modders love source. The flipside of being really popular is nobody is willing to change.

Pandamobile5930d ago

I'm sure Valve will acknowledge the existing support for Source. When they do move on to Source 2 they'll make everything easy to move from one engine to another.

The main thing holding back Source right now is the BSP map format. It's a pain in the ass to work with.

sorry but compared to shift and forza and especially gt5 thats looking a little long in the tooth.... Its cool how accesible source is but in todays era source is only viable in the pc world...

althogh I dont have much knowledge of game development but I have read somehwere that source engine uses unique shader based eninge. even textures are done with shaders. SO due to it its textures are incredibily life like, it also has good physics and very less jaggies.

The only issue is that all textures look like they are rusted or are of fur. But still source engine would have done well if used in racing games.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_92295d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil295d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb295d ago (Edited 295d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.

Deeeeznuuuts377d ago

Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor

JEECE377d ago

Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.

And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.

Relientk77377d ago

So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3

rokos377d ago

RIP Viktor love your work

Ethereal377d ago

Damn... Dishonored has such amazing art. RIP.
