First off, can you assure our readers that the finished version will blow their minds despite some of the comments from E3?

Doug Lombardi: Yes. The title was named best Xbox first-person shooter and/or best Xbox action game of E3 by several publications. Our goal was to ship a very high-quality version of the game, and that's why we're only bringing it to the Xbox - none of the other current-gen systems would allow us to deliver an uncompromised version of the game.

OMG:

Spoiler

Doug Lombardi: it's the same game you played on the Pc.. we are just whoring ourselves.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

I have no issue with this whoring. In fact if anyone was in a position for justifiable whorage, it's Valve.

If they'd called it Half-Life:2006-X and completely changed the game for a dumber audience i would take issue.

They'll probably make Alyx sluttier.

 

[Zaffino]

yep

alyx is hot =D

"Gordon... your crowbar... it's magnificent...

They'll probably make Alyx sluttier.

Didn't you hear? It's gonna have a cheat to make alyx nude, and will be rated E for everyone lol.
/end sarcasm.

 

[poseyjmac]

i dont see how 'whoring' plays a part in this. they are simply making a great game available to more people.

Anyone else notice that the "new lighting effects" are nothing but blooming? In which case I can't stand, everything has a dream like look about it. ugh.

I noticed that the light did reflect very brightly against windows... But... It's all good. It happens.

I own a PC, who cares!

blooming is already been on the pc version for like 6 months anyways so it might not be that but who knows

Blooms are definitely going to get out of control. That's why I'm planning tight blooms like what our eyes normally see for MY homemade renderer!

Bloom is annoying. Not only does it make everything too bright, you can lose your crosshair in it too It's overrated.

Bloom sux tbh.. I don't know why anyone likes it...

QFT.

It doesn't make it look real, it's just blinding.

I've seen good bloom and bad bloom. It can be a nice effect if the application is subtle.
