either thier getting ready for loast coast or their trying to drive us crazy.

 

[Barney_Calhoun]

Well obviously they're getting ready for Lost Coast, they're releasing it at the end of the month..

 

[G-Dub]

Ermmmm, can't install? You talking BS?

 

[hi_ted]

It still says "Not yet released" and the Install button is greyed out.
Case Closed.

 

[russ_uk]

the Install button is greyed out.
Case Closed.

[Space Farm]

I can't even right click on it. :/

Lies!

 

[russ_uk]

[DEATHMASTER]

Now if only my computer was anywhere near the recommendations...(the only thing I meet is the RAM!)

 

[Fonaki]

YES! I've got a unplayable lost coast on my desktop, after a 1kb download

Nice to see things are getting ready for a preload..finally

 

[IAmAI]

IAmAI, why are you getting so hyped up about it? It's only one level, and quite short too. Sure, graphics are nice, but not THAT nice.

YES! It is THAT nice! It's 15 quality minuttes made by VALVe

really?

Hmm, depends at what speed you play it really, the graphics are just going to be amazing especially with HDR so i'll probably spend 2 hours just exploring the tiniest place or observing ever single object possible at all differen't angles

It is highly unlikely you will get 2 hours out of Lost Coast.

 

[Fonaki]

It is highly unlikely you will get 2 hours out of Lost Coast.

It's not impssible. If you do like he said, watching everything every different angles...well...time goes...I think I will use about half a houre, I used 30+ on half life 2 first time trough, using the "check every corner for goodies"-tactic

 

[giant384]

Yahooo A 1kb Icon.................

 

[Drackard]

Lies Samon, i'll record it just to show you that i can do

 

[Asknoone]

Ok, you sit there on the cliff waiting for 2 hours to pass

 

[Sulkdodds]

Fishing!

 

[Unfocused]

BTW, with the release of Lost Coast, will HL2 have HDR as well?

 

[Space Farm]

It's hard to say, I thought they had to go through and enable HDR on individual maps.

 

[wilka91]

BTW, with the release of Lost Coast, will HL2 have HDR as well?

No. Valve said it'd be too complicated.

But Aftermath will have HDR. :naughty:

 

[Cole]

The basic reason why HL2 maps wont get HDR is because they would all have to be recompiled with HDR. Plus, since they wern't made with HDR in mind they wont look that good. All in all it would be a 2gig+ download for the new maps, it just isn't worth it.

 

[destrukt]

the hdr in dod:s is hawt; can't wait for aftermath.

 

[deekey777]

BTW, with the release of Lost Coast, will HL2 have HDR as well?

Since the DoD:S release HL2's got its HDRR, you can turn it on with mat_hdr_enabled 1.
Valve has promised to update HL2 with HDR content.
http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2005/06/14/hl2_hdr_overview/4.html

"And will HDR be retrofitted to the full Half Life 2 game? IGN quotes a Valve rep cornered at E3 who said that 'HDR would be partially implemented in HL2 in a future patch' but completely recoding the lighting was off the cards, for two reasons: the required download would total approx 5GB (!), and also that Valve feel that certain sections of the game play better with standard rendering."

 

[Lucid]

Too bad I've uninstalled HL2 >.<

 

[Cargo]

Hello, I don't post here much, but like everyone anticipating Lost Coast - now steam tells me that the download will be 855 megs! For unlucky folk like me on dialup, that means it's virtually a no-no. Do you think that any of the games mags will burn a copy to a dvd and then on-release it? that's the only real way of me getting the game. here's hopiong

 

[ailevation]

Yay, the revolution is almost here. We can pre-load it!

 

[nal777]

.. can we ?

 

[diluted]

No we can't.

Better to have low expectations and be positively surprised, than to have high expectations and feel let down...

Actually, there was an element of sarcasm in my post - it seems like Valve have been talking about releasing The Lost Coast for months and it really feels like its dragging on, for no reason at all - They've already released DoD:S with HDR, so why couldn't they have released TLC? TLC should have been the first Source HDR game to be released, not DoD:S.

Nonetheless, I am still hyped - I am anticipating that TLC is going to be a major visual sceptical and will be worth every one of the 15 minutes (and it's free anyway).
