Nice, and i see what you were saying on the red dots now, i belive they're another car in the background. Shame that build was the E3 build, i was lucky enough to play two updated builds from after the E3 one whilst it was still going on.
And he's right, it's so much fun to play, you forget...
They're good videos, show the new Zoe model as well, pretty ;) I feel so sorry for the guy playing though, he didn't have a clue about key binds and i feel he missed out on some of the game not being able to use/interact getting new guns or grenades :(
Still don't understand why people jump...
Don't worry, i never even gave this aspect a second thought when playing, it all seems perfectly fitting. The zombies all move at varying speeds depending on their alertness and how much the palyer has disturbed them, it all fits well, trust me.
No no, don't worry, that's caused by a vingetting effect when you're bleeding out on the ground, the headlighs flare up when you're right in their path, but it all looks very realistic, trust me ;)
Don't go thinking this is just a graphical and engine update guys, its planned to be the whole works. As X_i_Z_o_R says, the source engine is very suitable to the NS universe, massive sound scapes and immersiveness can be created along with some excellent animation, it'll be like playing Aliens...
erm, you should have a 40-50 degree cpu temp and approx 30 degree case, i think something has crapped out inside your computer, its nothing to do with HL2.
hl2 does not feature HDR.
It require the redoing of art assets, its something valve would like to do as an upgrade to HL2.
The source engine its self, however, does support HDR.
Seriously, once the creative drivers are installed properly, the cards are bullet proof. I'd recomend the audigy2 zs, can pick one up for about 40 quid.
So far as the sound problems are concerned;
HL2's sounds are all 16bit stereo 44000Hz, a lot larger than HL1's files, then you have the...
Hahaha, you fruit, thats retail value, its the same if you buy the game from the publisher.
The price in the shops is a discounted one, you'll notice next to the price they have "save £xx"
Also, Vivendi won't let Valve undercut their prices.
hmm, someone in another post has just had a call this morning saying that customs has a package from the US for him, evidently, this is it.
And yes, the raising the bar promises to be a good book, though i was expecting it a little before HL2.
