Half-life 2 Episode 2 to support multi core systems.

[Devious]

mentioned in here

It should fly along then!

About time too, hopefully now lots of other games will follow suit

Looks good - definitely shows that dual core/multi CPU is the way forward

We can only hope that more games follow suit!

It wasnt held back by the cpu before though was it, glad to hear about it anyway and maybe they'll be able to ramp up the physics because of this

That is the best thing I've heard game related for a while and look forward to flying through Ep2.

Remember, not everyone has a multicore processor, so they can't go to far!

Thats going to be the big problem, its not quite the same as people who have crappy video cards as they can just turn off eye candy and run at a low res.

Have any of you seen the trailer for Portal? It looks crazy!

 

[Bizarre]

And to think, just over a year ago Gabe Newell was talking about his frustrations over multi Core programming, the xbox 360, the PS3, and how un-enthusiastic he was about Windows Vista.

I guess does money does talk. . .

portal lasting 3-4 hours is a suprise. i was thinking it was just a little showcase really.

The Source engine has always been heavily CPU bound afaik?

Shame Episode 2 is delayed.

This is probably why

Maybe it will support not stuttering, locking up, being generally unplayable like ep. 1 was for me...
