References of "Source 2" in SFM

[Awdax]

So it seems there are numerous hints and references to Valve's next-gen engine called "Source 2" in some files of Source Filmmaker. Apparently SFM was in development at the same time Source 2 was, so there are some lines of code and stuff having to do with Source 2.

There are also unused icons and such to be used for Source 2 hidden in the SFM files as well.

You can read about the whole thing here.

I thought valve said there wouldn't be a source 2

I guess they changed their mind. This might also mean we won't have an Episode 3/Half-Life 3 until Source 2 is complete, and they plan on releasing it on the new engine.

Valve is like God
They both work in mysteryious ways.

This is highly interesting.  I always thought that they should start up fresh on a new version.

I agree. I wonder if they what improvements it will have, and if they'll still be able to heavily optimize their games.

Half-Life® 2: Episode Two is the second in a trilogy of new games created by Valve that extends the award-winning and best-selling Half-Life® adventure.

I thought it would mean there'd be a HL2 EP3
