Half-Life 2 at E3
The game is powered by Valve's in-house developed graphics engine, called Source. The specs of the graphics engine sound very impressive, and Half-Life 2 is sure to give Doom 3 a run for its money. Even more impressive is the scalability of this engine - while to take full advantage of it an Athlon 2Ghz with a GeForce 4 will be needed, the game will be able to run on a P3-700 powered by a DX6 compatible video card.
I guess more details will soon show on the web, now that the NDA is gone. Don't expect any eyecandy when you dare to play it on the mentioned P3-700 and a DX6 card .... oh, the horror ....
