Half-Life: Paranoia

[e-freak]

apart from the missing shadows, self shadowing normalmaps and lacking parallax or highres this indeed looks like doom3. Oh and the soldier on the left is pissing?

[D3ads]

I said kinda, obviously it's many years behind Doom 3 but it's still quite nice the way they've got the dark lighting done.

Doom 3 has parallax mapping?

[KungFuSquirrel]

Not stock, but it was done shortly after it shipped. We had a pretty sweet looking implementation about half-done for Q4 that just wasn't feasible to keep in the game.

Direct access to the vfp files for writing custom shader interactions makes a lot of this stuff relatively easy to do in D3.

I'm replaying Quake 4 right now after just finishing Crysis. And I'm quite surprised how well the Doom 3 engine has aged, it still has its good looks in places. Although Quake 4's exteriors make my eyes bleed.

Those people sacrificed a big part of their spare time, in which they could have gotten laid.

I have seen game devs before and I dispute that

I was probably one of the biggest half-life fans around, played every mod under the sun and worked on one until recently but somehow I can't find myself caring.

Now that they're done they should start again in Source.

Now that they're done they should start again in Source.

And they will achieve Crysis-style graphics in late 2009, I guess?

About tech jumps and lazyness.In production terms its hard just jump to new tech when you have full working pipeline and lot of stuff(maps assets) done before.R&D shoud not damage core development.Mod have good look and playability anyway.gameplay even better than some comercial titles. :-) team made great work!

are those trucks modelled with brushes ?! : O

[dux]

Yeah

[Felix]

omg, thats pretty sweat !!

I remember seeing the first screens of paranoia thinking it was made on source.

[D3ads]

I'm pretty sure they are modelled props, with an invisible func_wall to produce the shadow underneath.

[dux]

I'll bet my right testicle that the army truck is brush based. Half-Life props don't look like that. It just looks too.... brushy

[D3ads]

You're right dux, he comfirmed it, I honestly thought they were models considering how detailed they were

Ok release is going to be at 12am Moscow time (which is 3+ GMT), from that you can work out what time it'll be ready in your own timezones...

I don't have to be up early tomorrow, so I think I'll stay up

[dux]

You're right dux, he comfirmed it, I honestly thought they were models considering how detailed they were

All my years of experience paying off at last.

[D3ads]

IT'S OUT!
