Valve: Source 2 released.

Whether its full of content is irrelevant, its great fun for many hours with friends, something that's not exactly easy to achieve with a game, many fail.

It seems "something" source 2 was demonstrated for their VR. While it's probably filmed with a potato and stereovisioned you can tell the assets and lighting are of a significantly higher quality than anything we've seen in S1.

Nice find. Portal 3 in VR hmmmm.... I'll need a harness to stop me falling off my chair.

Looking forward to seeing some tech demos. I'm pretty sure that they'll port CS:GO over too, hopefully they might fix some hitreg issues and give us proper 128 tick servers.

You're moving the goalposts now. Left for Dead/2 IS full of content, to say it isn't says it's devoid of content.

To compare it to a game like Skyrim or Half Life is disingenuous because those games only have the single player experience going for them. A single player game has to have a lot more content.

Battle Field and COD doesn't really count either, as they have their own single player campaigns, plus I highly doubt COD has much in the way of content anyway that you don't have to bend over to obtain.

L4D/2 has both single player and multiplayer.

But there isn't actually a difference in what happens. The single player is the same as the multiplayer.

Battlefield and COD aren't like this. They have very separate and distinctly different modes.

the game, and a bloody good one i think - IS the content.

I don't sit down at a card game and think "this would be better with playing this in an F1 going around a track, i don't think i'm going to play it"

Left 4 Dead is a good game. The user made DLC is also worth it too, as said before. Why do people get there knickers in a twist? And I'm also wondering who said it was "full" of content. It has "enough" content.

TBH

hours spent on BF3 and 4 = 5 hours

hours on l4d 1 & 2 = 2500 hours

But I like battlefield too, just not my kind of content.

edit: Hang on, maybe this chat is devoid of content.

so I'm gonna get VR for portal 3 and hopefully others.

I said it was full of content, because DampCat was suggesting that because it has less content than other games it was devoid.

I am using full in a contextual sense, in that it's not as if the game has open expanses of nothingness that are just boring traverses with little to nothing to do.

But for the type of game it is, with its game play and game mechanics, it's certainly full of content.

To compare it to a similarish game, Killing Floor. Where the game doesn't change in terms of what you do or the levels you pay if you're playing multiplayer. Killing Floor has a lot more levels and weapons than Left for Dead 2, but I would say it isn't as full of content as Left for Dead 2.

dota2 running in source 2, on Linux with the Vulcan API.

I feel another smear campaign by Microsoft coming along soon....again.

I realise now you just don't know what content means. But its ok. I mean you literally said yourself that singleplayer and multiplayer are the same, whilst arguing that it's full of content.

If you can quote me saying, or even suggesting, that it was devoid of content please go ahead.

Actually don't bother, I feel like this is tired out. You can lead a horse to water!

I agree! It's subjective. I also think many people will be drooling for something L4D3 with all them source 2 techniques for new lighting and physics, bigger maps/chapters (i'm hoping) and all the good things that come out of a major engine update.

I'm drooling at home creepy they can make they game, it's like they drop you into a movie for l4d3. Maybe some walking dead style bad folk? Maybe some different infected. They could probably get better writers than the walking dead.
