I just read preview from gamespy

[DEATH eVADER]

I've got to say, the gamespy preview has got to be the most positive read I had about Half-Life2 (compared with gamespot's or IGN's). They didn't complain about the lack of new weapons and compared the open-endedness of the combat to farcry's (which is a :thumbs: ).

A link is below if you haven't checked it out already:

Plus I think this might be a new screen (possibly not, but here you go)

I can feel the hype again, must :bounce:

Farcry was meh....character was 500lbs overweight. Not like fit and cracked up Gordon Freeman with his bunny hop and shizzle.

You read the review, and so did many other many hours ago, and it is discussed to death in other threads :afro:

P.S New image is crap!

Okay, its slightly low-res. Its whats in the picture that counts.

I'm talking about the helicopter (there was another new screen with the same one). I originally thought that the Combine had a strange Alien Gunship back from the E3 days.

This might give an indication as to how far into the game it is. Gabe explained that there will be melding of Earth and Xen gradually over the course of the game, the helicopter might be an indicator as to how far into the game it is (its in the first hour or so I reckon)

Maybe not the most technically advanced ( :dork: ), but I really like the tore down building.. :naughty:

And yeah, the preview is great.

Sidenote: Any selfrespecting HL2 fan has read all the new previews by now..

Wow, I hadn't seen that new picture of the combine and helicopter till just now. I don't mind the graphical quality, what disturbs me is this one has the same problem as the zombie one, the combine on the left is floating above the ground wtf!

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Just think of it as running, and you won't be dissapointed

The reason why it looks chunky is because they take the original pic, then they enlarge it, ultimately making the pixels blockier as well.

They should of just kept the picture as it was, smaller, but better quality

 

[DimitriPopov]

Yeah , Valve sometimes isnt the best at PR, hell remember last September. And Death , the problem is with the groud texture , for some reason its washed out, unlike what the ground textures really look like.

If you wan't a higher quality floor texture, take a look at this one. Erm, it looks like moss has started to grow on the sea bed

Oh noes, moss!

A little mousterized seafloor gets green after a while. Alges and shit.

Isn't shit supposed to be brown?


Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, that was fun..................................

EDIT: Seriously, I can't just post that.... Can someone explain to me why pictures rarely ever work for me over at gamespot? They only work if I enter through an article or whatever, image index never works..
Phew, atleast now the post isn't completely spam..

 

[DEATH eVADER]

There seems to be a lot of grey space in your post Sorze. What where you going to do in it?

Then again, back at E3, wasn't the seafloor brown instead of green (time to get out that gamespy 22min vid. Argh, bringing back memories. The vids are still making me :bounce:
