The whole "hl2 runs better on ati hardware" thing was a marketing scam to get people to buy ati hardware before they launch their next generation of gpu's, nvidia is going to do the exact same thing with doom3, nvidia has already stated that the nv 5950 will start shiping with free doom3 cupons...

They never said HL2 itself owuld be shown at E3, they said somehting relating to hl2 will be shown (most likely TF2) I would say the SDK comes out around march 4th and the game is released April 4th As far as doom3 goes i dont see the 2 most anticipated games of al time being released o...

The leak doesnt run in OGL, it is just a gui error, hl2 doesnt contain any OGL code The gui in the leak is just a placeholder

Please see my answers to your questions below. Thanks, Rick Valve 1 - Will bump maps on models and world brushes react to dynamic lights such as the flashlight and muzzle flashes or are they only effected by static lighting? *** Yes they will react to dynamic lights. 2 -...

Same questions i posted in the rick elise interview thread 1 - Will bump maps on models and world brushes react to dynamic lights such as the flashlight and muzzle flashes or are they only effected by static lighting? 2 - Will each model have to have a collision model made for it manualy...

1 - Will bump maps on models and world brushes react to dynamic lights such as the flashlight and muzzle flashes or are they only effected by static lighting? 2 - Will each model have to have a collision model made for it manualy or are collisions in hl2 per-poly? if you do have to manualy...

I have to say LGW because im one of their mappers ;)

HL2 will have a much more optimized netcode even compaired tro hl1's netcode (wich is stil the best netcode ever) BF1942 has one of the worst netcodes because of the lack of clientside prediction wich would solve most of the game's problems Tribes 2, while being a crap game had a very good...

Yea, i have the beta, i have been using it to learn the new engine even though alot of the advanced stuff isnt there yet I dont condone the stealing of the content but if it is leaked and i am interested in it i will download it By the way, the stalker leak was no where near the hl2 leak...

It has already been stated that hl2 will have a dynamic light entity that will act just like the flashlight and muzzleflash and will only cast realtime shadows on normal maped surfaces

You would not use hdr for that sort of effect, but it woud be good for a sun reflection of of something like a sniper scope in realistic war games That way snipers would have to be smart and either stay under cover or face away from the sun to not give away their position so easily

Pole is closed now but i would vote for doom3, doom3 is the most visually pleasing but hl2 has the most dynamic gfx Farcry is a close 3rd and stalker looks pretty good but it looks like the ut2003 engine with dx9 effects so its no even on the radar right now

If they didnt have you sign an nda then there is no reason to hide any of the content you photographed, just poste it, if it is anything special then valve will just send some men in black over to murder you, nothing drastic . . .

This is either suposed to be a joke or this guy is really that dumb, either way this thread is pointless . . .

I see the sdk comingo ut within the next 2-3 weeks and the game about a month after that

Most new games support up to 6.1 surround, 7.1 is sort of overkill for games right now

Pretty cool stuff Where are the valve offices located? By the way, that chopper has been in hl2 for a while :)

Gabe seems like a cool guy but what happend to him between hl1's release and now? Then - http://www.gamespy.com/legacy/articles/homehard_a.shtm (scroll down) Now - http://www.gamersdepot.com/interviews/gabe/001.htm What did they do? tie him down in a basement while developing hl2 or...
