Impressive looking HL1 mod: Paranoia

D3ads · June 3, 2006 at 1:16 PM

Now don't get me wrong we're not talking Source quality here but these Russian guys have managed to make something that is pretty close untilising HDR lighting effects, volumetric fog, bump maps and large detailed areas.

Take a look:

80% complete apparently, I'm certainly going to keep my eye on this one

Those are some talented Russians.

Mod also looks very Russian'esque with the military and all. Almost STALKER / Operation Flash-Point like.

That looks better then many hl2 mods.

D3ads · June 3, 2006 at 1:29 PM

Except Nuclear Dawn huh?

Apparently this is their first attempt at producing SP stuff for the HL engine, all I can say is they needn't of worried.. I just hope the gameplay is up to standard...

shaDoW: It's set in the Russian army so that'd explain it, it's also a sort of horror thing so I'm expecting to see zombified Russian soldiers at some point...

That's extremely good. The coders particularly must have done a remarkable job with the engine

Sa74n · June 3, 2006 at 3:01 PM

seen it before. cant wait for the release. it looks pretty tight for a hl1 mod, especially a singleplayer one.

The screenshot of the truck looks like a photo. Amazing stuff for the HL1 engine.

I 2nd that!

Tequila · June 3, 2006 at 5:40 PM

I 3rd it. The rest betrays its HL1 origins, but still looks good.

Minos · June 3, 2006 at 6:05 PM

did you guys see the video, it's impressive

KungFuSquirrel · June 3, 2006 at 6:10 PM

their video is really impressive; it's shakycam so it looks even better

teeluu · June 3, 2006 at 6:37 PM

I think this mod is reeaaally old, if i remember right i saw some screenshots of this like years ago, definately looks great! Hope we get something out soon

It looks pretty good but that bumpmapping looks godawful though

But it's bummapping on hl1, they just have to use it :wink:

D3ads · June 3, 2006 at 6:58 PM

I think the bump mapping looks alright, I think that image is just a test to be fair.

I forgot to mention the video, it's awesome

⌐■_■ · June 3, 2006 at 7:47 PM

yup. like the bumpmapping tho! i'd really like to try that mod out!

D3ads · June 3, 2006 at 7:54 PM

All they need now is some high detailed models, something close to the works from the Opposing Source Redux pack, the detail on some of those models is crazy for HL standards, barney's eyes blink

Looks fantastic for the HL1 engine. But I hope it plays well.
