You're welcome. (You want to check this out)

i'll find your mangy hide and then you'll be in real trouble if you keep this arguing up mister...that's right...

Anyways IGN didn't even seem to declare they had put this up it took some finding, what's with that?

well according to some other posts in this thread, this is a quick teaser video(like last year... or something) and then it was the next day that they showed the big demo. ... or something like that... god i'm tired.
 
Now you think I am quickbeam too? I havn't even logged out of my account.

Lol, how would you even know what I was talking about if you hadn't? Nobody else did.

Yeah, I'm sure you messaged two mods: whom you have never before met in your life, right?
 
You weren't very covert in your accusation, it wasn't hard to pick up. I've asked you not to start an issue, but you seem hellbent on causing trouble. Why don't you just relax until a mod comes to verify that I am not this troll.
 
I'm not causing trouble, I'm just sort of amused at this whole charade. I mean, what's the point? Why would any normal innocent human being even bother to argue with me over this for so long, so obsessively, so defensively? I'd like to say how I know pretty much for sure, but then you'd catch on, and what fun would that be. :)
 
Uh, i was just talking to fenric this morning about apos and how i am, well, just me. and no, i am not an alias of anyone. just chill out dude. you offended me already in the other thread by calling me someone else that i am not. dont do it again please, its pretty rude that you wont let me have my own opinions about the video.
 
people don't start a flame war that will result in closing this thread.

Com on nok the Shit out.
 
anyways to the point did Valve ever release a hi res trailer...scratch that they have done to IGN Insiders which it would appear, none of us are...

I'm not, I let it go 4 or 5 hours ago in the other thread when you started this, but you keep bringing it up every time I post and throw accusations. I told you I didn't care as long as you didn't make it an issue, and thats what you are doing right now. It's sad.
 
Wasn't Spiffy one? I think he went to bed already though :(

I'm not really sure where the first trailer ever came from, though I seem to remember that it used to be hosted on Sierra's site at some point. Dunno what's up with this one either, but this is not shakycam as far as I can tell: it's some sort of promo, like last time.
 
So does anyone with web space have an IGN insider account or in pm contact with someone who does, or are we all just holding our proverbials?
 
So there is another vid that Valve is going to show 2morrow which is at least 10 Min worth of gameplay..............is that true. ?

and where is the ATI vid ?
 
If someone tells me how much the IGN subscriber thing is i'll check my bank balance and try to get the ball rolling.....

You know, you're right: this isn't the proper way to handle this, and I'm not a mod, so I shouldn't be bothering with it myself. It's just.... so hard to resist, because at this point, it's just so goofy and ridiculous. Just don't fault me too hard for falling into temptation. Last I'll say on the subject publically.

Indeed.

As for HL2.net hosting it, I don't think that's possible as right now IGN only offers the high-res version to paying customers.
 
Woot Murrayh! It's 19.95$.

And I belive that yo can see HDR in action in that teaser.

Thats all I ask. I could care less if you think I'm this troll, Santa Clause, whatever. As long as you don't make it an issue the way you were I could care less.

Mean we must wait another few days till it become "free for all"

:sniper: IGN in de a** :p
 
Hey apos please check your pm/email, ive tried you contact you but you never seem to reply. thanks.
 
actually ign is $5 a month. BUT when you subscribe you have the option of doing a free 7 day trial. i used to be an ign insider, i tried the trial, and i liked the service so much that i went full insider for about 4 months. thinking of doing it again.
 
You mean the really bright light in the hallway with the combine?

there's other hdr... check out the scene right after the train station inside the big building. you can see light streaming in through the windows. ...no i don't have the hires version.

edit: and like i mentioned earlier, the cobblestone street in the strider scene looks wet :D

also, maybe it's just me(probably is) but does the water look more wavey in some of the segments, and then other segments(like the river, with the house on the right) it looks really calm....?
 
I don't think that's HDR per se: light "beams: aren't necessarily HDR, and the "wet" street definately wouldn't be it either: that's specularity.

but it is very similar in effect to what was seen in the hdr video.

No, it means it'll have to be hosted by a less "official" and scrupulous source.
 
Yes but not everything in that video is HDR: HDR is just one of the most stunning effects in it. HDR is apparent when you look out from your dark area into the bright outdoors, and the glow out there is overbrighted, almost bleeding out of the hole you are looking through. The light "rays" could well just be very near transparent and intangible brushes. And HDR can certainly enchance specularity if bright enough. But regular specularity is not HDR: or else Far Cry could claim to feature HDR lighting.
 
what does hdr stand for? And i'm right in thinking it's something that they were keen to get into HL2 aren't I
 
High Dynamic Range, refferring to the fact that it allows virtual scenes with very wide ranges of color and brightness to be composited together without having things look washed out, dull, or unrealistically contrasted.

well okay then. okay what i mean is that the trailer has the same effects in several areas that the hdr video has.
 
btw, the sound effects are excellent. like that part where the helicopter is shooting at you... and you see those blue bullets coming at you, great sounds :D :thumbs:
 
Gah, the amount of people that appear to have commented on the high res version of this vid, you'd think we'd have managed a high res mirror by now :/
 
Arrghhghghg come on! Can none of you high-res people operate an ftp? :p
