yeah me 2... it's because they watch the same video for 100 times... then get bored and start picking on details, after that they e-mail gabe and say there's going to be a World War 3 if the bug isn't fixed ;) nah just kidding, i hardly noticed the 'choppiness' and it doesn't bother me @ all
The choppiness and shadow problems (along with a lot of others) in the e3 and bink videos are indeed because of demo playback. The engine had a few bugs in it which caused some weird side-effects during playback.
Last time i checked gabe said somewhere it was fixed or being fixed and my guess...

Subject: Half-life² and steam without internet connection
Hi Mr Newell,
Ok here's my question: I've read somewhere steam will be the back-end of HL2, whether you buy it Retail or acquire it via Steam. What if you
don't have an internet...
one thing about the "conditions could hardly be more ideal" debate... i haven't read that thread but i do know that a scientist says "conditions could hardly be more appropriate" .... it's almost the same... doesn't that count for an easter egg?
i mean i got chills when i first heard kleiner...
allrrrrrrrrrrrighty..... let's not make this a "This game rulez over that game" thread BEFORE any of the herefore mentioned games (HL2, DOOM3, FAR CRY) are released, ok?
You can tell me all you want after you've played these 3 games on your pc, took screenshots and show them here in this...
AA = Anti-Aliasing, a technique used by videocards (or rather, their drivers) to smooth out jagged edges of polygons (for example a diagonal line that's jagged becomes straight)
Damn he beat me to it :D
BUT... to stay on-topic, which of the 4 i mentioned above do you think?
7th video...
I think of 3 (no 4) things:
1) The strider movie (drrrrrrrrewl :P)
2) The dune buggy part
3) City 17 (barney etc vs combine)
4) Tech demo
Fill me in if i forgot something
I really don't get what people are complaining about!
THE HALF-LIFE² BLOINKYDOINK VIDEOS LOOK AMAZING! :D:bounce:
Really, are you even dissapointed at the blink videos? i don't get that.
The graphics are beautiful, the AI and physics seem great too! Remember that AA and AF aren't used...
hey I have a gf who games, she's amazing. cute, looks good, smart, does the household.... what more can a guy want?
Btw she owns me in 1st person shooters..... she's just too much for me.
Not that she plays the entire day, she's got a lot of friends and we both are active swimmers.
so...
