Will Source2 live up to be as legendary as it's predecessor, which is still relevant today?
Being used by modern shooters such as CS:GO, Titanfall 2 and Apex: Legends.
From what it looks like in HL: Alyx I'd say so
Source 2

it depends how good the sdk is. if it is twice as fast and uses all the epic vulkan stuff thats neat, but for it to be legendary it has to not just be fast in runtime but save the developers time with a better hammer editor and stuff.

Well the testers who've gotten the sdk and mapping tools early say it is easier to use than the Source 1 versions.
And even I could make a playable map on that

Highly doubt it since Valve doesn't give 2 shits about making cash off the engine vs. what Unreal and other engines allow for ease of use. Any group outside valve using it needs people who worked at valve or in the modding community to have any use for it. Apex and Titanfall both look dated regardless what you want to say, map size restrictions are a huge issue, as well as having to write a fair amount of bullshit to get a specific thing done.
Valve internally debated droping source2 for future projects a lot, and to get source 2 workable Vavle needed it's unlimited cash from lootboxes and dota. Any reasonable company would have ditched source 2 long ago, but valve has unlimited money from hats and crates
Oliver Evans
Any place I can read more on that?
Do we have an ETA when source 2 will ship?

Titanfall 2 and Apex: Legends use a heavily modified version of Source, it's a completely different engine at this point.
It's in the same way that Source 2, Source, GoldSrc and the Quake engine are all different even though they stemmed from one another.
Also, CS:GO is terrible demo of the Source engine, the game runs like fucking ass. Anyone who plays actually play CS:GO, knows that Source is terrible and fucking sucks ass.
Valve's older Source games don't make a mockery of the engine, they all perform great.

Engine is irrelevant, current map uses the grid editor for custom games
