HL2 FakeFactory & Ogg's Cinematic Mod 2.0

[joule]

Ripped directly from Neowin.net...

Half-Life 2 FakeFactory's & Ogg's Cinematic Mod v2.20 (796 MB)

The Cinematic Modification adds Hires-Textures to all human characters, some non-human characters, nearly all items, walls and vehicles (and the vending mashine of course). (Hint: If you prefer the original Low-Res Textures, delete or rename the "materials" folder inside the Mod.)

It replaces the original HL2 music with a more classic score in the style of large Hollywood productions, that fits to the specific game-situations. More orchestral, more ambient, with unique themes for combines and Alyx. (Hint: If you prefer the original HL2-music score, delete or rename the "sound" folder and the "scripts" folder inside the Mod.)

It adds a new weapons-balancing and strengthens all the weapons to a more realistic level. No more firing numerous rounds at the combines; kill them with 3 to 5 direct hits, just like in real-life combat, but beware: Your opponents weapons are comparable. After 3 to 5 direct hits (or 1 direct headshot) you *will* be killed. (Hint: If you prefer the original Weapons balancing, delete the file "skill.cfg" inside the Mod's cfg-folder)

The additional Insane Hires Props are previous unreleased Hirestextures for nearly all props in the game, even little items like binders, computerparts, doorlocks and so on. The huge amount of details will give your HL2 virtually the look of a render-intro, but be warned: The amount of new textures will tax your hardware to the limit. Better don't use this pack with outdated DirectX8 cards. Don't even think about it, unless you are using a 256+ MB card.

Supplementing Info for users of the FAKEFACTORY HiRes Packs: This pack combines all the FAKEFACTORY HiRes Packs together and adds some new ones. Just override the allready installed textures with the new ones in this modification.

Requirements:
- Half-Life2 installed
- A graphics-card, that can handle 2048 x 2048 pixel textures (any DirectX9 card should be okay). - plenty of RAM (you will see some ingame-stuttering with less than 1.5 GB ram)

It's pretty cool. I like the weapon changes and I like all the high-res textures from the Insane High Res pack.

The music is what really makes it special though. Hella cool.

 

[WhiteZero]

This mod gets better every week.

 

[el Chi]

Tom Selleck. lol

 

[Vegeta897]

Why is it called "Cinematic" mod... I'm just seeing higher res stuff plus more realistic damage. What's that got to do with movies, or cinema? I expected like a movie-maker tool or something

 

[Flyingdebris]

they changed some of the hl2 music and added extra music in some cases

 

[D€vIL²]

It has a nicely done intro movie now too

 

[giant384]

most of the music sounds like its from batman begins if anyone didnt notice that

The music is from batman begins, surely they cant do that?

 

[Rizzo]

Sure they can. Leagely or not.

 

[RabidJester]

This is definitely going to be used with some of my work.

So it will become cinematic, even if it isn't already.

 

[jerkasaur]

looks cool. the thing is, how is anybody gonna survive that manhacks part with the new damage values? if hl2 didn't have striders and manhacks and antlion guards, the new damage values would be cool, but with all these monsters... :x

Those enemys doesnt have a weapon licens

In other words, they are incapable of holding and aiming a gun

in other words, they wont spit bullets at you

in other word, it....gahh you get it!

 

[ríomhaire]

I don't want my computer to be raped so no.

 

[CyberPitz]

I doubt this one would run either on my machine..oh well, I"ve only got 2 gig free anyway.

 

[BrimStone04]

Ill try it, prolly wont keep it cuz HL2 looks great as it is and im sure i will see a performance loss when playing this one.

 

[bliink]

Its a very shoddy mod, in my experiences.

All the music I've heard from it has been stolen from other sources... movies mostly. I think the majority of the other content is from other sources too. Kind of like those CS model packs that were just a compilation of other people's work- uncredited of course.

 

[Kazuki_Fuse]

I didn't like it at all, with the exception of the more prominent bump maps. Is there a way to extract them to use on original HL2 models?

 

[bigburpco]

Eh. Am I the only who thinks they overworked the bumpmaps and the faces (some just look dumb). So IMO, with the high-end requirements and nothing much looks really nice (except the reworked skyboxes and the medic), this mod is quite stupid.

More new singple player campaigns FTW.

 

[Veotax]

Does Alyx still look like a man and does Mossman still make small children cry, or have they actually made them look good in this mod yet?

 

[Vagrant]

I didn't like Alyx's new face much, but pretty much everyone else looked better.

 

[Beerdude26]

She never looked like a man and yes.

Meh, Alyx always looked like a man to me in the previous versions of this mod

I havent got a single one when just using the skins, which I use in SMOD.

 

[Langolier]

Well having played through this...

Some of skins do still look wierd.

The legs for the combine soldiers just look... strange. The CP officers look like crap (still) too. Overall I think most of the new skins were pretty good though.

I reall liked the new damage values... for the most part. The SMG is a tad TOO good and perhaps the combine soldiers die just a little TOO fast. Still it makes the combat really fast paced.

Anyone else find it a little creepy that Eli has so many lewd photos of his daughter lying around his lab? >_>

 

[Reaktor4]

She never looked like a man

No but she never really looked like a woman either

[Hullu]

[UltimaApocalypse]

Barneys cheeks are.....very odd.
