Yet another CSS Impression, Now with added flashlight

[Lobster]

Me and my friend just got back from an hour at our local cafe, what can i say, its amazing, ive been looking at the screenshots and videos just the same as you guys, but it doesnt match up to playing it live, the controls are really tight and responsive, everything feels, looks and sounds tuned, i spent most my time shooting a tin can round just to hear it bounce off things!

Somthing i havnt heard much about before now is THE FLASHLIGHT ! holy bump mapping batman!, its alot like the Pistol flashlight from DX:IW only bigger and better positioned, when you point it at the sand under the bridge, it shaddows like its covered in gravel, and when u look the opposite way the shaddows in the texture adjust correctly, (i know that effect has been around since halo but i was just glad to see it here!)

All i can say is, No ammount of videos match the feel of acctully controlling it!

PS. My friend emailed himself a screenshot of the flashlight, and im waiting for it, i shall post when i get it.

ok here it is, probbally the crapiest shot i could get, but oh well, De_Dust doesnt have many dark areas to test it out

looks kinda like D3's except without the pitch blackness around it

 

[SubKamran]

OH! New video I think will be coming from me.

I was gonna suggest that if you were making more videos try and get some footage of the flashlight in bright areas aswell as dark, it looks juicy when it melts into all the radiosity lighting.

It's uploading to YouSendIt. Comes with commentary! (from me)

Someone can mirror it.

EDIT: While I'm at it I'm going to do a few more commentary videos.

cool now the flashlight is actually usefull in normal CS its more usefull for the enemy then for u, because it hardly lights up anything and maked u shine really bright o_0 .

do u see a other player using the flashlight or does it just light up the player who is using it like in cs :/ (i hope not)

 

[nw909]

Oh noes for that second video, bug report time?

I believe this new flashlight is a post render effect, it simply illumintes the image in front of it in a circle (which changes shape), objects and models are lit correctly, not popup lighting like in HL1, no shaddows though, but np

Im hosting as I get time to upload them, but remember We are only able to take these vids because of KingTheBadger, who was kind enough to let SubKamran use his account. (and who took vids himself that I host)

[DigiQ8]
