All I care about is that if this gets ported to tf2, my framerate doesn't go down and they don't put in/remove some game mechanic.

EDIT: By this, I mean if they release tf2 in the new engine, replacing old source. I thought that was clear.

You don't port an engine to a game, you port the game to the engine.

since its a jump from dx9 to dx11 and tf2 has been out since 2007, i doubt we are getting a port. That will kill of a majority of the player base on pc requirements alone.

The only other game I can see being ported to Source 2 would be CSGO. TF2 is about 7 years old and is already on Steampipe. I don't see why Valve would update TF2 now. Might as well make a new game (hopefully with our input).

I always thought that hammer should start becoming easier for new people to pick up, now retards like me can finally create hundreds of terrible, incomplete maps!

if tf2 gets ported to a dx11 engine, there's a big chance that lower dx settings may not be supported.

At this point with the amount of rubbish added post-release to the game I doubt a jump from dx9 to dx11 will actually hurt the performance or requirements of the game that much.

Remember the base requirements of the game refer to when the game was launched in 2007, not to the game that currently has over 2k different items released, dozens of different particle effects and now taunt animations. It already shits itself on any old pc with the base requirements, it wouldn't change much, tf2 is one of the worst optimized games on the market, and it can only get worse as the amount of stuff in the game increases, if anything a port to source 2 would be a godsend in terms of optimization

LangeMy biggest hope about a potential TF2 -> Source2 port would be that it would most likely come with improvements to demos (replays), STV, and other esports-related tools.

If Valve does a "silent" update to TF2 with things like this, I'd cry

I just hope that they can keep the (environmental) movement mechanics identical if it gets ported to SrcII. Blast jumping and strafing are so good in TF2 compared to other games which try to implement such movement mechanics. A new engine often means new physics, so I'm kind of scared that rocket/sticky jumping etc. will not have the same feeling and/or give the same capabilities they have now.

I just hope that they come out with an SDK with full source code access, especially if they do port TF2 over. Otherwise, developing will be extremely painful.

#14 and everyone else saying DX11 only

Source 2 isn't going to require DirectX 11, it is 64 bit and DX11 only atm because early release not optimized. Valve blog post about it:

" At the moment the tools require a 64-bit version of Windows and a Direct3D 11 compatible GPU. We are working on expanding the number of PC configurations (including 32-bit OSes like Windows XP) that will be able to run this but wanted to get the tools out there so developers could start working on their Custom Games."

Windows XP can only run up to DX9 so there's no way that's disappearing.

They're changing their official description of us from community contributors to Flagellants and the SDK will be renamed the Masochist Kit.

Source games are my favorite for the fluidity and responsiveness of the controls. If they can make their engine graphically competitive with other mainstream engines, and reduce the amount of loading screens (enough to make open world a possibility?) then the games made with it would be unparalleled.

I'm really excited about how Source 2 turns out, but i'm not expecting anything any time soon.

It sounds amazing, but I won't lie, I was hoping they'd just build a new game from the ground up when they wanted to port tf2 over. you know, fix some balance issues with weapons/classes and maybe put in some kind of matchmaking comp options.
I guess there's still a chance for that to happen though

I just expect a bunch of customization limitations being implemented instead: both client side and server side.

Nah Steam hardware survey says ~72% of Steam users use DX11 GPU's as of June. Just because a game is DX11 doesn't mean it has to be hard to run.
