Opinions on S&Box/Garry's Mod 2

Do you think the community will switch to it or do you think it will be too different fromthe original Half Life oriented Garry's mod?
I'm looking forward to what Source 2 is capable of and how far the community will push the engine this time.
I also hope Garry will include VR support.

tbh S&Box is just another way for facepunch to get money coming in gmod will eventually die on release and it will happen all over again

S&Box is good things, the graphics quality is just 100 time more beautiful than gmod

I dont care about graphics much, I'm more looking forward to what new gamemodes the community will make and hopefully game maps will be bigger.

Tbh it sounds like a good idea but i dont think most servers will transfer over to that

So my opinion? Well let's categorize them:

1) Nowadays, there is nothing to draw new players about Gmod. It's not got pretty graphics, limited ability within Source 1. But S&box (from what I hear) is supposed to be a lot better for developers and allow a more expansive variety of Gamemodes.
2) A lot of gamemodes could use a rework and S&box is the best place to do it.
3) A new game release gives facepunch a reason to advertise allowing for the game to get more attention the Garry's Mod has received ever since the peak of it's popularity a few years ago.

1) Developers may be scared off from switching from GLua to C# (C# superior fight me)
2) Servers may not transfer due to there being a lack of players in the beginning. Possible snowballing into a lack of addons, and a lack of content.
3) I hate the new Playermodels so far, hopefully they allow us to mount Half Life Alyx later. Or maybe mount Gmod to use those models. But like hell we'll get by with the current PM's imo.

But that's just my take lol

Thats a very solid take sir! The scripting(or programming?) language change sounds the scariest here. I hope devs will switch over sooner than later.

The idea itself is quite good, and the developer himself needs to improve, but still for me S&Box will not be able to replace the good old Garry's Mod, as it is possible for the others.

It's have interesting capabilities, but It will take time to have some addons and servers on this.

I honestly realy want to know too. I feel like Garrys Mod 2 is 2-3 years too late
