Valve pode ter lançado Source2 de maneira "escondida" em ferramentas para DOTA2

It looks like Valve has sneakily soft-launched the Source Engine 2 with last night's release of new Workshop Tools for Dota 2.

Main selling point to this are the code files that share a name with source engine, they are all numbered with 2, for example engine2.dll, vconsole2.exe, vphysics2.dll.

According to RoyAwesome from the Dota 2 subReddit : "Everything in this package is a new game. It's all the Dota assets and code ported over to Source 2. That's why Hammer is different. That's why the console is different."

"The general consensus around the Source reverse engineering community is that this is really Source 2."

The other thing to take into account is the fact that new tools have much higher system requirements than they used to, they now include 64-bit version of Windows and DirectX 11 compatible graphics card. Valve even acknowledged this with their announcement  post for new Workshop Tools, but they did not say anything about Source 2.

Guys. Valve just soft launched the entire Source 2 engine.
EDIT: Because people are asking for proof.
Everything that would share a name with Source is named '...2'. That's 'engine2.dll', 'vconsole2.exe', 'vphysics2.dll'.
When you go to open a map in Hammer, it asks for .vmap files. One of the other options is '.vmf (Source 1.0)' files. Screenshot (thanks /u/darkmio)
The fucking console is redone.
There is a new Key-Value like format (that i'm gonna call KV2). It is type safe. It looks like this: http://pastebin.com/RVQtkv1j. EDIT: Looks like my name isn't going to stick. The engine calls them 'Schema Files', written by CSchemaTextWriter. (Voided found this)
EDIT2 (Probably the strongest evidence): That script also allows for different dlls to load and render different assets (vmaps are rendered by worldrenderer.dll, etc). This is quite a bit different from Source 1, as they had a large number of things in the engine libraries. This bit alone would indicate a significant amount of engine work has been done to split these bits out of the engine and into their own libraries.
EDIT: hey RPS i changed this paragraph, so you guys should probably use the updated paragraph as it's more correct.
EDIT3: lol, source2 apparently support fax machines. (VoiDeD found this) (source: http://privatepaste.com/513891c5dc )
EDIT4: from /u/nellody: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/3/35/Tileset_new_outliner.png notice the 'source2' in the path.
EDIT: the general consensus around the source reverse engineering community is that this is really source 2.
EDIT: hi neogaf.
EDIT:
3:01:56 AM <@VoiDeD> there's l4d3 crap all over the vscript code

curioso isso

mas aposto que o primeiro jogo a usar a S2 seria um L4D3, por ser um jogo que exploraria o potencial sem requerer o capricho de um HL3 da vida, e ter uma vida longa no MP online.

portal 3 acredito que nunca saia.

Caguei pra essas noticias da Valve, enquanto ela não lançar jogos, pra mim é só uma loja.
