i saw the new vids and iwas like, dude.......

[ktimekiller]

it was kick ass, i love how he used his hand to move that barrel to make it explode, and i liked how the zombies threw stuff at him. this vid proves hl2 will be the best eva, doom3 is nothing compared to hl2

 

[Mr-Fusion]

/agrees with this guy!

NOW RELEASE THE GAME ARGH!!

 

[urseus]

Hey wow thanks for posting!!

This was certainly worthy of an entire new thread.

So in your opinion because a npc threw something at you it makes it the greatest game since the advent of foxy boxing.

You are too easily impress i think. Its lucky your not here next to me, because im jiggling keys. Shiney, shiney keys.

 

[Lobster]

oh well, while its here, AGREED!

wow ... 3am GMT 7pm PST .... *lights another candle on the preload shrine*

 

[ktimekiller]

oh common, be more positive

 

[She]

I was like... oh man.. this isn't looking so good..
no fire (bend effects) crappy shadows and so on...

but.. it was coo..

 

[Ikerous]

I really didn't like the new video :-/ Now shiny keys are right down my alley....

 

[Tiddalick]

I was like... oh man.. this isn't looking so good..

but.. it was coo..

Well it looks fine to me....
Besides gameplay makes a game, graphics just help you digest it

what do u mean? it looks so good

 

[SubKamran]

There isn't anything wrong with the shadows...what do you people want, dynamic shadows that will eat your FPS? Source supports it, but they didn't want to put it into HL2 which is fine with me.

I agree with ktime, that's an awesome video

 

[Ikerous]

I didn't like the fire effects in the game... or the explosions. They just didnt seem realistic at all :-/ And the head crab zombies look really dumb... and the screaming they do when they're on fire sounded really lame... and kind of confusing... I didnt like when he hit the head crab with his crowbar and it went flying across the room :-/ ionnno.. there were other things but i dont remember. Oh, and the video itself takes at least a good minute to start running after i double click it... If the video is that harsh on my computer.. whats the actual game gunna be like :-/

Its the greatest fire ive ever seen in a game. Doom3s fire was like orange smoke coming out of the pipes. HL2s fire looks, well, like fire. It has flaming sharp tips not the round smoke looking edges all other fire in games has. The sound they made when they are on fire is the sound of a human being wreithing in agong with his skin melting off. Most people find it quite disterbing, which is a good thing. Also take a swing with a crowbar at a piece of meat and see how far it flys across the room. What i loved is that they themselves had physics.

We were watching the same video?

If you don't think the game looks that great, then why are you here?

 

[N0N1337H41]

I think the game looks VERY fun in terms of pure gameplay, but the graphics are a bit under par in my opinion. I know that this upsets many people, but the graphics just don't WOW me like they did a year ago. To be quite honest Halo 2 is looking like it's going to kick HL2's butt when it comes to FPS of the year. I really think that many people are going to be disappointed when the game finally does ship. Just my little opinion, though.

 

[Ikerous]

I thought the game looked really excellent up to this video (Hence why i'm here). And wtf was the point of that body hanging from the tree... And what was the rope attached to? A bone...? :-/ I didnt get it..

Im thinking the intestinal track?

OR maybe "bait" hanging from a rope from the Father.

 

[SGT Tenor]

why was it so bright in ravenholm? I was surpried to see how bright it was compared to the E3 video. AS far as graphics cis onserned, it's still avideo fromat not remnisent to what we will actually see. My opinion the graphics are outstanding and I love the open areas. Doom 3 was just the same coridors and and coridors of metal gas pipes and some computer terminlas not much vsariety. (At leasty from what i've played so far) in fact after 1 hour of playing I was bored.

Anyway Can't wait to see some more of the bink videos at least to tide us over for HL2. In the meantime I'll play through HL1 again. Even if They release it in source.

Um.. right. I told you the reasons i disliked a video and this makes me retarded :-/ Hm.. :thumbs: ::gets back to finishing my AP Calculus homework::

Ikerous, intelligence has much less practiacl application than you would think. Also you missed why he called you retarted.

Clearly i missed something. Please clarify ;-)

doom 3 has pretty shadows but the thing about doom 3 is there is hardly any light anyway to make shadows. Makes it hard to find that 452345345 pda...

 

[slider3005]

yea sorry ikerous Im gunna have to agree with the other guys on this one. How do you know what an exploding barrel really looks looks like? I loved the way the head crab flew across the room, it really made me feel like batting 2 lbs of uncooked meat across the room. The zombie's screams to me at least were kind of disturbing, certainly not "lame" in any way. And somthing is undoubtedly wrong with your comp if it took 2 minutes to start, get adaware or somthin man.

 

[otomo]

spybot is good too

 

[Ikerous]

First off. I would NEVER allow adware on my computer ; ::Insanely anal when it comes to taking care of my beloved computer:: Its just a lil slow...

As for the exploding barrels once all the oxygen in them lit on fire there wouldnt be any fuel left for the fire... but the fire just kept going (At least from what i remember, i've only watched it twice) and nothing around it caught on fire. And then it just dissapeared entirely all at once. I found the zombi's screams rather odd becausei always thought of them as being headless... I assumed the headcrab had digested the individuals head and has taken over the body. As far as i know headcrabs dont have mouths.. and without a head.. how is it screaming.. :-/ I'm most likely entirely wrong, however since that was how i've always thought of the zombies it was a little odd. And as for hitting the head crab across the room :-/ If i hit it with the sharp part... the head crab woulda been stuck to my crowbar. Had i hit it with other side of the tip the colission area would have been really realy tiny. If its that tiny the headcrabs bodies would have obsorved the majority of the energy from the blow. And if the body is anything but insanely hard, then it would have just pressed into the head crabs flesh and it would barely have gone back (However if its anything like an earth crab its body is fairly hard, still wouldnt have flown all that far.. imho.)

 

[Mr-Fusion]

You can see the headcrab fall off and the face of one of the zombies and the head is still pretty much intact. Watch the video again. So we can totally ignore your theory on the headcrabbed/zombie/screaming thing as it's a complete load of bullshit.

Point me to a game that has better looking fire. The fire in HL2 is some of the best i've seen.

If i hit it with the sharp part... the head crab woulda been stuck to my crowbar. Had i hit it with other side of the tip the colission area would have been really realy tiny

Jesus H Bloody Christ i'll try and find you an anal passageway expander.

why is it that everytime one person says he is not impressed by the graphics of HL2... idiots starts to compare DOOM3 engine with SOURCE?
and dive into story telling of the both games (nothing to do with the topic) And flaming them for saying what they think..

I am not impressed by the ""main graphics engine"" in HL2..
Sure.. the beautiful DX9 effects = water / glass are cool...
I am not impressed by the shadows.. So WHAT??

That doesn't mean i am about to compare the DOOM3 engine with SOURCE.. neither does it mean that i hate HL2 and think it is UGLY...

no.. it simply means that i am not impressed.. thats it..
It's still cool..

 

[Ikerous]

I never said my theory was at all accurate :-/ It was just what came to mind when watching the video... I dont sit around trying to make up weird theories about a video game. Lol, the last game i played that even had fire in it was HL1. So sorry, can't name any. And Half Life two is supposed to have wonderful physics.. why wouldn't these physics apply to hitting stuff :-/ Then again i could be entirely wrong there, its just what came to mind... And i dont feel like watching the video again or really thinking about this all too much...

 

[SATANITRON]

sorry to keep the doom 3 grx discussion alive but,
I thought the heat distortion around doom 3s fire
looked amazing.

I have to check the binks again, I know source can
do refractions, so it must, by extension, be able
to do heat distortion.

You have no idea how ironic that is do you?

Nope, but my own reply made laugh.

Bloody hell the forum is all messed up for me. None of the pictures are correct.

hmmm.. well i like the realism in doom 3.. you know what i am taking about. Shooting a body and having it fall to pieces when hit with bullets from my pistol.. "imho"

Lmao. Sorry.. I didn't realize I was writing an essay here. I'll try and keep my punctuation up to forum standards from now on. :rolling:
