B.Ob. Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hehe, sounds like your about ready!! I wasn't really ready myself, $$-wise, but I found a little more in my paycheck than I expected.... Also, per the collectors's Edition box, its says 5.5Gig for install. Checking the install folder, windows reports back 5.26Gig, thats including the original Halflife:Source installed, which I think was 30Meg. And it appears to run WAY better than Doom3 did on my system!! But I've only gone a couple mins into it so far.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Half Life 2 GPU Roundup Part 2 - Mainstream DX8/DX9 Battle "When it comes to developing games, the biggest thing publishers look for are minimum system requirements. The lower the minimum system requirements, the more games publishers can sell. But the problem with really low minimum system requirements is that you end up with a game that doesn’t look too great on higher end hardware. Valve has spent a great deal of time ensuring that multiple rendering paths were included with Half Life 2 to not only offer great performance on low end graphics cards, but also to offer spectacular image quality on high end GPUs. The three codepaths that we will be looking at today are Valve’s DirectX 7, DirectX 8/8.1 and DirectX 9 paths in Half Life 2." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Ob. Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 Half-Life 3 leaked! Gonna quote the whole thing in case it disappears: "Or its eventual existence at least, according to loose-lipped Swedes Swedish mag Gamereactor has broken cover (and, it appears, its non-disclosure agreement) by claiming that Valve CEO Gabe Newell revealed that Half-Life 3 is in the planning stage at the Seattle developers. Speaking during a recent press briefing at Valve HQ, Newell is said to have revealed that, at this stage, the company envisage Half-Life 2 female NPC Alyx as playable in Half-Life 3, and promised more alien-based revelations. While it's no great surprise that the series will continue, Valve and publishers Vivendi can't be too impressed that Half-Life 3 appears to have been confirmed before they've even managed to get 2 into the shops. Expect much more confirmed info in the build up to this year's E3." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukm69 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 i love this game - awsome - although the steam thing pissed me off something fierce, took me an hour to validate my copy due to shitty slow steam.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan4Life Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 notes of hl2 -- i like it, looks good and story is moving... untill it crashed maybe just needed a reboot -- the water, glass, and partial effects look really hot -- AI is feeling scripted already and havent got out of the canals yet -- thowing and picking things up and thowing is fun CS source -- i like how it looks but doesnt feel like CS, maybe it was ping or no choice in skins of players or a bad tweek to the netcode or how the actors move, just cant pinpoint it. and it sucks when there is a ping spike but is is nice to see people not falling though walls when they die and weapons and objects bounceing around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 The save system blows... I went a few saves back to demo the game for some people and all my newer saves where gone. They were replaced with the Auto-saves as I went thru showing peeps the game... Oh well, it will go faster then 2nd time, plus I'll know where I'm going... Also, here is an article on Doom 3 vs. Half Life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
