They HAVE to be people dressed up right, with a cg background?

I literally do not believe my eyes. When I see confirmed news from Valve themselves, then I'll believe that's in-game.

Valve's server is slashdotted...

Given technology nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised.

Expect this to be another Duke Nukem Forever though.

I don't think thats real, the guy doesn't seem to fit in with the background or the alien.

It doesn't look right, IMHO.

That doesn't look like in game footage, more like a blue screen combo of a real person, CGI alien, real background and CGI gun in the foreground all shot separately

I already knew it was fake because of comparing the doors with the walls.

i gotta start playing the original half life =/

As I said earlier, I'll believe HL2 is out when I'm playing it...

Posted: **2003-04-22 11:16pm**

I'm behind Beowulf...seriously saying something is showcasing at E3 means so little to me.

Just means they have something...not even a real beta.

When I'm hearing Beta testing, then maybe.

Nope, thats a tech demo they used for the HL2 preview in PC Game (apparently)

Posted: **2003-04-23 08:04am**

Wow.

Barney's back!

A new engine, huh?

Looks like the people at Valve have outdone themselves again, if this report is correct. Although I sincerely hope that the engine can use OpenGL as well, because I'm not too impressed by some of DirectX 9's features.

Posted: **2003-04-23 04:29pm**

Well, sweet Jesus in a Can, they're authentic!!!

Wow... I'm so going to preorder this.

Posted: **2003-04-24 12:18am**

Oh mommy, I'm in love...

Posted: **2003-04-24 12:26am**

Mother of God...

*blink*

*reinstalls HL, replays*

*blinks again*

*looks once more at the pictures*

*dies*

I show these to my friend, and he says "Looks low-poly to me. blah blah, it sucks compared to UT2k3 or Unreal 2". Shows how much he knows. Polycounts mean nothing now that bump-mapping and self-shading joined the graphics scene.

Posted: **2003-04-24 01:21am**

The problem is that the pictures were 1) printed in a magazine and 2) scanned. They're far less detailed than the original screenshots were.

Did he miss the part where a single player model runs at around 5k polys?
