Just curious but has everyone watched this? It owns.
This show has some pretty good ideas for a lucrative side business

I think this is kind of lame. The cool thing about Half-Life is that it was set in the 90's era, maybe very early 2000s. All this tech looks brand new and stylistically generic.
A bit of old news, but I'm really enjoying this one right now. It's very relatable to me as a Florida Man, they go full-bore with that Florida shit (alligators, jorts, flamingos, dolphins, the works!), but the cinematography on it is so great. The casting is absolutely top notch, all the characters are super super compelling.

Doing my final check-up on monday, hoping that it healed up nicely and that I can properly start my physio and get back into some sort of shape again.
X-rays in the spoiler in case anyone is too sensitive to that kinda stuff.
Oh and I'm trying to by an apartment. Not enjoyable to be honest.

Looks hella fucked (that's a medical term). Very best of luck to you with your recovery, keep us updated.
Looks quite polished. are there any other snow maps in TF2 worth mentioning? This has to be one of the best. Love the normal maps on the snow!

Also, found this cool thing the other day

That's really spiffy! Cool to think that in an alternate universe we go this fully realized version
Quote from Radu10 hours ago, Radu said: HL2 gunplay is pretty crap, but not something that can't be improved. All it takes is a good animator to give the weapons some kick. Are you guys familiar with MrBrightside's project to remodel and animate the weapons? He's working for NWI and has been at it for a few years though.

I wouldn't mind something like in the new DOOM, but at this point, modders should work with what they have to their advantage. There's this commentary bubble in episode 1 where one of the level designers mentions that they added a secondary path during an encounter to give the combine AI some options to work with - either flank the player or charge right at him. That's just one example and probably not the best of how a level designer can be a bit more thoughtful of the AI's behaviours, but I'm sure there are clever ways to trick the player into thinking the AI is smarter than it actually is.External Content www.youtube.comContent embedded from external sources will not be displayed without your consent.Through the activation of external content, you agree that personal data may be transferred to third party platforms.

There's so many things they could improve on from previous games, like the gunplay and AI.
Also, part of the reason why I'm more confident with Boreal Alyph is because those guys can already work on the actual levels and gameplay. Plus the fact that their graphic standards are relative to 2008-2012 makes it a lot faster to create content. Whereas the team working on UE4 has to build every single thing that already exists in HL2 from the zero basically. That's just so time consuming. Look at Black Mesa.
Those are so much fucking better it's mind boggling.
Quote from text_fish7 hours ago, text_fish said: I have so many passive aggressive, brutally sarcastic things to type right now. Instead, I shall just lament the fact that talented artists and programmers are busy remaking (premaking?) stuff.
As much as I yearned for HL3 for many years, I agree there is something deeply depressing about seeing HL2 literally recreated in UE4. I think I wanted that for so many years that now, finally seeing it, I can kind of appreciate how underwhelming and boring the idea really is.
I'm glad that Valve hired the people from Firewatch, a HL game doesn't really need that many gun fights or monsters to be appealing, what was always interesting about HL2 in hindsight was the 1) social commentary 2) aesthetic design 3) scripting/AI interactions 4) physics 5) immersion in the first person perspective. I have zero desire to ever shoot a combine in the face again, it's just something I could live without. HL2's combat was really really boring. Not saying they should take all the guns out of Half-Life or some shit, but it would have be to revitalized somehow to make it significantly more interesting. It's probably no coincidence, but a lot of these issues sound like they could be resolved or best addressed from shifting HL into some new terrain (such as VR). You can amplify the atmospherics that people always found interesting about HL, make the gunplay more interesting and novel, get that immersion going much stronger. It sucks because this probably means we will have to wait until VR is mature, but that seems like the most natural medium for HL gameplay to be resurrected in a meaningful way.
One other thing that people tend to forget that HL2 was a Bush-era game, there was something vaguely subversive about seeing the Metro cops ruling over the populace, it had some kind of political relevancy.

Make sure you focus on the gameplay first @FMPONE ! Adding fancy graphics won't get you any points
, I would discourage it unless it's meaningful to the experience or gameplay.
Seeing all of these other entries... almost makes me want to do a second one
Too late, my entry now has the best graphics of any game shipped this year. Or next year, for that matter.
Very much doubt they'd post an entire 48 minutes of footage unless this game had a crazy amount of content. Doubly exciting!
think I've finished my entry 
Might spend a couple of more days refining the graphics, though. (typical..)
