Half Life 2 might be a boring game, but technically it's very impressive...and runs great on my old hardware

 

[Morgoth]

That reminds me.... When will we see Episode 3 emerging?

In about 2 years.

[Moatilliatta]

What? I thought we haven't heard anything yet? I'd say 1-2 years would be a reasonable guess.

I've been playing a lot of emulators too lately, what's neat is that the 3D ones (like this dreamcast one) allow you to enable extra geometry at the sides, so you can play these old games in ultra-widescreen resolutions

Stalker: Clear Sky looks absolutely amazing. Saying it looks like a Quake 2 mod is beyond dumb.

STALKER looks outdated, and it even looks worse on crappy computers, like random_Noob's one. Unless of course Clear Sky actually managed to look worse by default than the original.

 

There, I mean just look at the washed out Textures:

Nope, it doesn't. It's just this new internet fad that you have to say "yeah, the graphics suck" at every new game that comes out, as if that would somehow make yourself more important (like some people claim 192kbs MP3 is Youtube quality in the audio circles..). The picture you quoted is taken just before nighttime during bad weather, just before the game goes completely dark. And I really mean dark. I've never seen a game with such a realistic day-and-night cycle before. If you don't have a light during nighttime, you're basically looking at a black screen. I love it.

 

The above was taken during nighttime, using both a flashlight and night vision goggles. Still dark as hell. And scary.

 

During daytime, the game uses HDR lighting, which makes the ground in this picture almost glow from sunlight.

 

During sunrise, everything casts fantastic, realistic shadows. In the background there's an old powerline tower. It's not really visible, but it cast its shadows all over the vast plain. It looked awesome in motion.

 

During sunset, the sky lights up in beautiful colours. Then it goes dark.

Even on this board, people are just like sheep, once a direction has been accepted as good, it is then used as the own point of view. Teh awesome grafix in Stalker are now, or so the general consensus says, lacklustre. You are not going to convince anyone I'm afraid.

 

I wish I could take Psychonauts Screenshots without an extra tool I always forget to activate before I play...

[Hurlshort]

Actually I was a bit surprised at the lousy screenshot, and pleasantly surprised to see mkreku's shots.

[Deadly_Nightshade]

I loved the last part of the credits...

STALKER looks outdated

Hahaha

 

No.

Enemies aren't affected by darkness though, which makes nighttime play kinda pointless.

Yeah, god rays though, are only in effect during sunrise. And they don't warrant the hit in FPS. Not for me at least.

The skies are some of the best textures in the game, alright. Character faces, not so good.

Crysis Warhead @ 1600p

 

 

[Morgoth]

Crysis Warhead > Clear Sky + mkreku

[Rosbjerg]

I think the Clear Sky screens had more soul..

 

Flashy ≠ win..

[Jaesun]

Warhead is already out? o.O

 

*runs to the store*

[Morgoth]

Making piecemeal of ships in Age3 never gets old.

I've re-installed Jericho - it's a lot more fun than some reviewers said.

Well I slogged my way to the end so it can't be anywhere as near as bad as it's been touted to be.

[Morgoth]

Played the demo and it was underwhelming. Especially the controls felt very "spongy". And the worst: It wasn't scary at all.

The demo really does not show one of the better parts of the game, although I agree that the game was not scary (the controls are better in the full game, or at least them seemed that way).

Awesome game.
