Load up HL2:Episode 2 on your PC with the graphics turned up, and tell me the graphics look 'old'. There is nothing outdated with the Source engine as it currently stands, all it needs is a developer to actually show it some love (not whoever EA pimped it out to) and optimise a version for PS3 hardware. I mean even Orange Box with its shortcomings still looked great, it was just the framerates that were sub-par (and the long loads, but thats not the Source engines' fault). Good to see Valve at least reconsidering their position of PS3 development, but its not a big commitment yet, as waiting to hire already experienced PS3 programmers is the fast, cheap option. But its probably the only option they have got now that they have left developing a PS3 coding capability so late in the piece, keeping in mind most studio's would have started PS3 coding development 1 - 2 years before the PS3 even came out.
