Valve's Next Game? This is Citadel.

[@gurthang667]

“Skinned” is a common process in the animation pipeline. You set up control points (bones) and apply “skin” modifier to the 3D mesh of a character which tells the bone which parts of the mesh to move. So this isn’t a game mechanic

Taking into account both recent and prior reporting on Citadel, an idea had coalesced into my mind while watching this video. What would an asymmetric, VR-PC cross compatible game; with potentially combined singleplayer/multiplayer features; possibly related to Valve's prior L4D AR experiments; featuring vertical gameplay, lack of ground collision, and cloth physics; likely set within the HL universe; all have to do with each other? What existing precedence do we have to suggest how these pieces can be used together? My guess? Two words: _Manhack. Arcade._

[@deatsbybre7162]

People need to stop getting on Gaben’s ass about unreleased projects. We should know at this point that Valve will not release a game unless they think it is a hundred percent up to par with what people have come to expect from them. If he tells us, “Yes, we are working on Half Life 3 for the sixth time”, then people will start expecting the game to come out, and the amount of backlash Valve will get will be astronomical if they don’t deliver. He doesn’t want to give us false expectations, and he’s probably sick of being asked the same things again and again.

Personally I think Project: Citadel will turn into a game sort of like zombies or left 4 dead. It takes place shortly after Gordon and Alyx blow up the citadel's reactor. (besides one mode but ill get to that) You play as a combine in either VR mode or PC mode. the server selects people in each mode and groups them into servers, however if you really wanted to play with VR people you could choose a mode in matchmaking called "Combine'd". You fight off waves of aliens and rebels. You start outside the Citadel with your group only fighting off small groups of rebels. However, you slowly move along the streets, trying to run out of the city before the citadel goes boom boom. There is 3 modes - Story, Endless, and Timed. Story follows a story of you and your combine friends leaving the city on foot. This story mode repeats each match. The story mode ends with the standoff at White Forest. You and the combine group have caught up to gordon freeman, the guy who's killed so many of your friends, and collapsed the entire city alike. However, unfortunately, its a scripted "loss on purpose" sequence, and no matter how many times you shoot gordon, it doesn't matter, he kills all of your friends and then the story mode ends. you get "sterilize credits" from completing a match of any mode. It's added up through things you did, like assisted or healed teammates. Endless is the same thing as Story, but it takes place hours before Gordon and Alyx blow up the Citadels reactor. So your killing groups of rebels with your friends, without having a thing to escape, as the levels randomly generate cityscapes for you and your friends to run through. Endless ends when your entire team is wiped out. Timed, however? It's the same thing as Endless, but takes place, again, shortly after the citadel reactor blows up. You're given 30 minutes to go as far as possible. Once this time is up, you get to watch a quite beautiful (for about 5 seconds) firework-like explosion before it atomizes your entire group. There are personal bests for this mode, and leaderboards. So what do you think of my theory? Let me know.

it is possible that you can't skin the flesh off the enemies because "skinned" is also used as the name for meshes that stretch or rotate with bones, and child is the child of a root object, so it seems more like a rigged mesh that is a child (like a skirt that has two parts parented to a character or a limb that is disconnected but still parented to the character or maybe like a mace that can be swung around by someone holding it but isn't part of the mesh of the character) not likely to mean skinning children.

@@thestripedmenace god I wish, though it would be difficult to put Destiny like lore into Team Fortress, mostly because Destiny is a huge Space Opera while TF mainly focuses on the few characters themselves, even when put against something as important as The Devil (which is why I love TF Lore so much)

[@draforgg5594]

@@thestripedmenace If it gets released, I dont expect much change from the stories or graphs since both are so iconic and fitting. I'd expect that if it starts it will start cuz porting tf2 to source 2 is hell-like, and devs wanna have a better code instead of the spaghetti monster since it is much easier to start over than trying to fix a mess. I'd expect it to allow people to transport their items into the new game from TF2. And a properly introduced and well made competitive would definitely be there. As for what I dont expect but want, -a 5th loadout slot (pls valve) -New weapons -No random crits or random spread -Balancing every weapon to viability in at least one common situation rather than really rare ones, but also making them balanced in comp

Would love a Portal VR, though I realize they tried that first before settling on Alyx because the "portaling" was making people sick. Still, maybe they could do something similar as to what they did with Alyx. Instead of a Portal 3 with Chell, how about Portal: Cave Johnson or Caroline. Or even Wheatley. Maybe vertigo could be handled by now.

I wanna know wtf " Xen depression" is.

[@caketakeshh]

Valve developers felt they did bad work on the original Xen levels in Half Life 1 and "Xen depression" might mean feeling depressed about failed potential.

Depression is also used to describe something like an indentation. My best guess would be that it's referring to some kind of Xenian architecture

I think the "has no ground collision" note might mean that it doesn’t have a unique, special-case ground collision system. DOTA has a heightmap system to efficiently find where the player is standing, HL:A does a probe to find where the player is standing, for citadel it might be that the collision system kinda "implicitly" handles any concerns with respect to ground collision that the game needs without needing to write special code for it. In my opinion, even if my interpretation is false, I would say that it’s quite unlikely to be a particularly important piece of the puzzle.

Honestly citadel sounds like it's going to be some kind of top-down real-time strategy game and the VR is just going to be a different way to move around and look at the map.

I personally have a great deal of respect for Tyler, well honestly for a few reasons, but specifically for the logo of his rebrand. Some people would, in an effort to make their change clear, would push away anything valve related as to creat distance so people will stop thinking about them as “the valve guy”. But Tyler’s new logo is the lambda symbol, albeit inverted, something that shows his connection to half life and valve while also making it his own.

In 3D terms that just means "animation ready child". Child can also mean that's an object which has a parent object in the hierarchy. Kill is also a term that means "delete". Why must everything be so bizarre sounding in 3D? Sometimes you want to Google something and end up with stuff like "how to kill parent of skinned child in Source"

Just a comment about 12:14 , there is no working water physics because no engine has working water physics out of the box. If you see water that moves with the player, that's usually a texture, custom shader, or VERY rarely some custom water physics. Most water you see in games is just a flat plane that changes the texture around objects that intersect it with custom shaders.

[@GamingRevenant]

I don't really understand what Source 2 would bring to CS:GO that would improve the game. It's certainly not going to render more cheaply for older PC's, and the feel of the gameplay would need to change very little or it could shake things up too much. Even against hackers, I'm sure it's going to make little to no difference.

[@salvosuper]

Actually one would hope for better performance thanks to modern async/threaded code and gpu-leveraging code.. source 1 is old, single threaded and extremely cpu bound. I get more fps playing Doom 2016, which compared to csgo you could call photorealistic, than out of csgo, using the same rig.
