Quote from instaCool, love the look of the Monk-zombie, looks like something out of Painkiller or Blood. Really looking forward to it
QFT, also you earned extra respect points for mentioning Blood 
Anyway I'm not that impressed with this, it looks ok but nothing all that special 
Oh yeah, check out this site:

Look at the 'Some of our noteworthy users are . . .' list and you'll see that a certain company uses assets from here complete with normal maps, so perhaps the HL2 stuff was bought from here anyway and so did GSC?
It doesn't justify the Doom 3 content of course...
Quote from ZackerAnd no, we are not getting flooed by new users:http://www.mapcore.net/forums/memberlist.php
Sort it by descending...
As you can see, there are quite a few new registrations in April, so yeah we are recieving more users than usual :roll:
This thread should be moved to classics when it's served it's purpose btw 
Good stuff.
Don't forget that ID do sometimes use other people's assets, for instance all of the Quake 2 sound effects were created by Soundelux Media Labs (credits in the game manual), so ID don't always make everything.
That's not to say that Stalker haven't 'borrowed' these assets, as Thrik has pointed that having 'imp' in the filename is probably direct proof that they are ID's original (unless imp means something else like 'impact' ? I doubt it though.
As for Half-Life 2 assets I wouldn't be surprised if those are widely used in lots of titles, they're not exactly the most exclusive normal maps...
That looks sexilicious 
Have you got a link to aforementioned extract tool?
Quote from ShaDoWHow many fingers am I holding up?
Hahaha, I haven't laughed so much in weeks
That looks awesome, I love editing sprites, I made a load of old Blood/Doom hacks awhile ago, I'll try and find them for you 
For fuck's sake guys, if you're going to tell him it looks 'boring' or 'generic' then at least explain why!
It lacks a lot in details, for instance in the first shot you could do with some more decals/trash/boxes/vents etc, the ground just looks too clean for my liking. Similarly in the second shot, the left hand wall looks very bare and would look better if there was some kind of pipe network/drainage system/vents running alongside it.
Custom assets always go along way, so there's something to think about next time. For your second released map, it's not too bad really, look forward to seeing your next release

The attention to detail is sometimes crazy, here you can see a cockroach partially creeping out of the dead woman's mouth, this crawls out and runs around her body before crawling back into her mouth again

Cutscenes are pretty well scripted and animated.

At times they are portrayed from the player's view complete with hands, in this example merely picking up a photograph frame.

This little girl reminds somewhat of the children in 'Prey' and there are slight comparisons there as well "onoes.. spoiler.." *dies*

Poisoness crabs... run away RUNNN AWAAAY!!
This thread is the best in ages, love the SS1 footage
This game is crazy, I'm being chased by fish men
I was going to wait till I'd finished this before starting a discussion, but I'm so impressed by it so far that I'm going ahead now! I bought this awhile ago after having it recommended to me by several people, it's basically a game inspired by the works of HP Lovecraft. It's a first person game but you don't shoot (you do get a gun later on but rarely get to use it), you're a detective who spends time searching for clues and evidence trying to find out what is going on in a small coastal town. There's an inventory and it sort of works a bit like Silent Hill in the way you manage items.
There's no HUD, instead you get on screen warnings (COD2 style) to show that you've taken damage and there's a sanity meter that gets worse when you see a mutilated corpse or you're trapped in a room or something. If you don't calm your character down- he'll kill himself! The atmosphere in this game is amazing, the sound effects are top notch and I actually get a bit scared sometimes, a game hasn't done that to me since the great Shock 2 
It was released on the Xbox awhile ago, so some of you may have played it? I don't remember seeing it mentioned here at all so I wondered if anyone else has played it. It's not the best looking game, because it's another of those titles that's been in development for years it looks a little dated (and it's ported from the aforementioned xbox release) but it's well worth picking up, there's some pretty sick stuff going on in this town.
I will post more info and (non spoiler) screenshots as I play through

Hopefully that will help you.
Steppen: I don't like it, it ruins the atmosphere since the models make the drones look like vampires and the midwife just looks like a naked crew member with large breasts and mechanical bodyparts 
The texture mod isn't all that great either, there's a lot of things that aren't enhanced.
Heh, I STILL have yet to play through San Andreas nevermind GTA4 :roll:
Does anyone think that Liberty/Vice City Stories will be released on the PC? I know it's more of the same but I love both areas 
Max Renda
Looking fucking fantastic, good to see Liberty City back again too!
[edit] Actually it looks like New York.. but there's a shop in there called 'Liberty Tree' so I'm kinda confused.
I just installed it and loaded it up, still as amazing as ever imho, the ambience on the logs/emails is unparalleled by anything else
Damn you guys, I wanna play
