More Mentions of Source Engine 2 Discovered in Source Filmmaker Files Today

[Shawn Zipay]

Yesterday, news broke that some persons found evidence that Valve was working on a "Source Engine 2". The only evidence being some files buried deep within the Source Filmmaker that referenced "SOURCE2" or "Source 2". Naturally, the Internet blew up, ignoring rational and sane thinking in favor of mass hysteria and hope.

DevinWatson from the Facepunch forums made a short list of the notable references to Source 2 that he's found within the Source Filmmaker files.

So, forget about holding back on freaking out. You're going to do it anyway even without anything being officially announced. So, go hog wild. This concludes today's "blog spam" (according to Reddit).
