BBC News in their technology column have posted up an article regarding HL2, CS: Source, and more, also featuring a short interview with Doug Lombardi.

"In terms of visuals and sounds of the software playable on today's hardware, yeah, I think we're approaching a point of diminishing returns.

"However, I do think the hardware will evolve to offer more advanced 'surround' display units, and perhaps more efficient input devices, like true voice input, and the introduction of these would naturally open the door to new experiences and designs."

For the rest of it all check out the full article.

And in other news, RC5 has been sent to VU Games as they have been ironing out bugs, and it seems like the horrid legal battle situation between VU Games and VALVe Software has been lightening up, so if VU Games don't sit on the game which they can but might not for another six months, HL2 just might go gold within the next couple weeks. Stay tuned.
