"The Lost Coast" Preview

[entRo]

Twice today I've seen someone correct someone else on CSN.. only to be totally wrong.

[abysmal]

Yeah its sheer comedy. Usually when I try to correct someone, i make sure im right. I think this is how people normally do it...



Anyway, HDR...in farcry HDR gave a massive performance hit, I take it Valves implementation will do the same?

[Ava3ar]

someone put up a recording of this, i want images



cause in hte UK we dont get that channel

[nfg]

So does this mean that the Source engine will have this lighting in it from now on? That's sweet if that's the case, but I had always been led to believe that just this level would implement it.

One wonders where the new sotd and potd is.

HDRI is nothing new. It have been applied to the 3d rendering/modeling world for quite sometime. I've used it and it's a great source of light in a rendering enviroment.



You can see more info here.

Yes, HDRi images have been around for quite some time now. :)

Half-Life 2 = not counter-strike

Yes, but it's all on the same engine. And we do love our HL2 information here when it deals with tasty new(ish) technology.

It'll be a performance hit no matter what the engine. Probably why Valve is only releasing it to those whose computers can handle it.

So far, it's just this level that will have it. Hopefully they'll use it more often, or even redo the game with the HDR effect in the future (or for HL3).

Either that or it would only mean one news article per Counter-strike update and not alot else.

Attack of the Show? I already hate G4 for bastardizing The ScreenSavers into a show about video games and video cards. But did they have to subject people to browsing the internet for crap on somethingawful?



I remember when TechTV was like Slashdot. You know, without all the "OMFG FIRST POST LOL!!" and the obscure references to Cthulhu and The Hitchhiker's Guide.

Yeah, the leo and pat days were the best till they fucked it up

I'm gonna have to partially agree with you on the basis that CSN has lost its "pizzaz" over the last few weeks.

[wolf8218]

i think this will be a beautiful addition to the game, not just to draw people to half life 2 but i think well be seeing art works inside the source engine with this feature.

VAC2 IS COMING.. LOG BACK ON TO STEAM FOR THE INFO!

We're working on getting the POTD and SOTD uploads back up. We realize it's a big issue, and I'm definitely noy happy with the problems.
