Used to back when it was in beta1.0, but I never downloaded the beta3. Has the dev team fleshed out the game well?

I have only used beta 3, so I can't speak to the changes since the original, but it is very polished and feels surprisingly alike goldeneye 64. I wish they could emulate the autoaim where the gun actually moves to point at the target though.

Andy_Panthro: I was wondering... do third party Source-engine games (such as Zeno Clash) require Steam?
Because I think thats the only drawback for me.
The engine is a pretty good all rounder, and seems to be quite easy for people to work with, which helps a lot for modders and such.

Aw. Drawback. :( Anyways, DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, but I don't think so, because it's being sold at Direct2Drive.

No, you get a key that you register on Steam.

Navagon: Whatever else you want to say about Left 4 Dead, it's hard to deny that it made the Source engine show its age. For a horror themed game you'd expect the atmosphere to be one of the most polished aspects of the graphics. Yet atmospheric effects such as smoke, fire and even lighting were really looking quite antiquated.

Metro09: To an extent, yes. However, consider that L4D is meant to have more of a parody/cheesy B movie genre feel rather than true horror a la Killing Floor or Doom 3.

Especially the names of the different campaigns, they really lend itself to cheesyness. Still, that's no excuse for rather subpar visuals (well... then again, it was at night...). Getting L4D2 though.

The reason Source is so successful is because Valve support it, they even compile their old source games on new builds of the engine. They also optimized it, so it looks amazing but doesn't run like shite. A lot more than can be said for most of the engines out there, except id's quake 3 engine pretty much.
