First of all I doubt your a coder if you cant get Visual Source Safe to work disconnected. Second of all nothing says it is from the actual VSS server, it could be code lying around Gabe's comp. Third of all the E3 video cant be a fake because it was running real-time off a P4 2.6Ghz with an...
The reason for the delay was internationalization and steam. They were going to put off the Peer to Peer part of steam until later but gabe realized they needed it for HL2 to be successful. Thats also the reason why 1.6 hacks arent getting fixed
that SSS thing really gives a realistic shade to objects. It makes the tea cup look perfect. Liquid physics arent of much use in games right now, I think we're gonna be seeing massive leaps in terms of shader usage. Polygons can only go so far, the shader is what turns good into awesome. Having...
We have every right to feel cheated. Think about the people who preordered, they were told they would get the product on the 30th, 7 days before the said product is supposed to be on their desks it gets delayed 2 months. Im not pissed at valve for doing it, they prolly have a good reason and im...
Listen dude, the truth is valve could have told us alot earlier. It would have saved some people some money, it would have disappointed less also. Unless you dont already notice im not a whining fanboy. I want the game to come out as much as the next guy but im not gonna get all 13 yr old about...
I will forgive them also but it still wasnt a great decision, they had multiple opportunities to tell us it might be delayed. Instead we are met with "No Comment" replies. Not only that but it was held up until about the 15th when there was silence then on the 23rd the delay email. Seems they...
Yeah and guess what, I pay their salary dumbass, they make the game for cash, which I happen to have. This isnt a mod, im a paying customer. So shut your mouth.
Its just a respect thing. We all expected HL2 in a week, and they push it back 2 months. They should have done it MUCH earlier instead of all this "We'll see" and "we're still going for the 30th" business. If they push it back this much they would have know for weeks if not months they wouldnt...
