maybe graphics isn't everything? better have a fantastic gameplay with old "bad" graphics, than fantastic graphics with a bad and boring gameplay



You'll notice I wasn't commenting on gameplay quality, nor did I say people wouldn't play it because of the graphics....

The developers claimed they used the style because of the inherent unrealistic aspects of the game, which I dont doubt, but really I suspect it is more of a decision to try to cover up the fact that Source is a low-tech engine not capable of competing with modern engines in a graphical way.



Maybe you're right Matt. But the new multi-core support coming to the source engine does sound like a very nice feature. Especially with the prices dropping on the intel quad core processors.
