New HL2 Screenies

[impeh]

Well the one with the fat headcrab guy seems legit and all, especially since theres a big crowbar in front of the screen.

Looks great yes, but still scans from mags like PC ZOne I want real screenshots not scans from one

If you think there all fake. Just wait untill the next PCGamer and other such magazines come out. As I do believe that is where all these pictures were scanned from.

Is that powerarmor those troopers are wearing? Looks like VALVe's been inspired by both the Fallout series and Starship troopers, not a bad thing in my book :o

Those pictures definatly arnt faked. First relize that being scans, the image quality hides some of its flaws. Nothing in any og the pictures strikes me as "too good". The characters have normal maps, wich provide them extreme details with faked depth and nice shine to the leather/rubbers. The levels all have a basic enviromental fogging for atmosphere. The big monoth of a building doesnt even look to detailed really. It is all just done WELL. With even decent liting, withought the dynamic effects, you would be amazed at the upped image quality you see.

Screenshots are nice, but E3 will be eye-opening as far as how it looks on the fly... I can't wait.

Just me or does the contrast in these pics look like its been turned on to full :P

Btw ...omg!!!!!!!!looks like i can ditch my pissy 64mb nvidia card for 1 of these couple of hundred euro cards ...... :/

It does look very very very good but not as good as Doom III. Can't wait till both of these games come out, i'll be getting a new comp.

I think it's the scanner that made it look like that.

[lockhart]

it obviously doesnt look as good as doom3, but you know... i cant imagine how good cs2 is going to look! it's going to fucking look sweet, but i just hope they make it play like the old days, and hopefully that damn jump stutter will get removed, as bunnyhopping wont be in the game at all

[TCDD]

well, if the bottom right one isnt a fake pic then im sure the publishers are gonna have a few problems from paul verhoven as those bugs look miiiiiiiighty familiar from starship troopers....



might be just me tho...

[|cyborg|]

you know maybe the headcrabs are just picking on teh fat people, that would explain why there so much bigger, more to feed on. SS's look awsome anyways.

[Fuji]

Have you guys never actually thought about the headcrabs?



If you played opposing force, you'd know that after the zombie stage, they trun into Gnomes or something like that....just know the name has a "GN" in it somewhere. Anyhow, the gnome-whatevers, have ripped open chest cavities, etc, etc, and they throw stuff at you, you know the deal.



But the reason why these zombies are fat is beacuse these zombies are actually *maintaining* the continuity of the game, that is, it makes sense for a zombie to be fat if a f*king creature is gesting inside of it. I believe that gives a zombie due corse to look like an old Oprah. It was the zombies in HL1 that were off, thats all, beacause at the time, I don't think valvE figured out a concept for what the next stage of headcrab evolution would be.
