Does anyone else think that while the speed of video cards are increasing the graphics quality of them seems to be getting worse... Ever since AF was introduced it seems that games look crappier unless you enable it to max, when before games looked great without it. :D
And Radeon 9800 pro...
Giant Pinball?? I don't ever remember seeing that in the tech demo.. I do remember the Plinko like barrel effect though, which is nothing like a pinball.
And pay for a tech demo? shesh.. Morons
I am going to have to agree with HL2 Stone.. moron.
This is just another useless thread that should be immediately deleted as the vids are old footage of an early build of the game.
Homeworld 2 demo -> pretty much the same as Homeworld 1 and it was kinda dull after an hour or so.
Chrome demo -> Ok for a bit , but got boring fast and the Ai is pretty stupid
Call of Duty demo -> Cool looking game, but pretty much the same as MOHAA in many ways... Ai is pretty stupid...
The probable reason no MP has been announced yet is because it doesn't exist in any other form other then plain DM. This is the 2 sku's that will be released at the end of the month, SP only and SP w/ DM.. expect to see the full version of HL2 with the more anticipated mods to be delayed til TF...
Someone want to tell FraggzOrz that maid is spelt made.. it just annoys me.. but otherwise good english :)
And if the game goes subscription to get all the content Valve has to offer, so be it.. I am sure the mods that the community will make will always be free til beta stages are over and...
I am guessing the game will be toned down for the PS2 with crappy graphics and smaller levels, but that little black box is pretty capable of playing a game of HL2 calibur, look at Splinter Cell. :)
But in all honestly I would hope they would wait til the PS3 comes out since it will be much...
Here is my thoughts...
1. Retail Sucks - Greedy middlemen!
2. Steam Sucks - Greedy monthly fees!
3. Half Life 2 Rocks and makes millions for both!!!
Either way they will get our money because Half Life2 will be the best game ever.
There is no poll on whether to pay or not to pay.. topics on it yes, poll no.. These forums are cluttered with topics that are irrelevant, and searching topics to see who would and wouldn't takes alot longer then just answering a poll for everyone to see at the top in a graph.
If Valve decided to charge monthly for you to be able to play it's mods online will you pay?
I will pay monthy only if they include new content to justify the monthly fee...
LOL.. damn this "delayed" "not delayed" debate is getting old and no one at valve will say much either... Heck, where is the next video or media that should have been out by now? This game is taking all of us on a rollercoaster ride, and I think I am going to throw up because it makes me sick...
Where is the "Wasting time waiting for a new release date as it has been delayed" since that's what's more then likely going to happen since no one at valve has a clue on how they want to release it yet?
According to Gabe, even Valve doesn't know what's going on... It appears that Sept 30th is about to be a day of reckoning more then a release date for a much anticipated game. If the game ships on said date then my guess would be that it will be the single player only version.
The only way I would pay 10 bucks a month for a game like this is if the Multiplayer aspect was awesome and they released a few new levels every month to paid subscibers and those who bought retail would have to wait for an expansion pack to play them. But to pay 15 bucks a month (I am Canadian)...
2 days early? does that mean it goes gold 2 days earlier for you also? Somehow I doubt Valve is going to send off copies to many people til after it's released on Steam so they can milk it first. But hey, if I am wrong, then lucky you... just don't spoil it for others if you start playing the...
