I'm just amazed when I keep looking at the screens how much more "life" this game has than either Doom or Far Cry. Valve clearly understands that when making better graphics, you cannot just put shiny bumpmapping on everything. And in Doom 3, while the environments weren't that bad, they were stale due to the fact that you could hardly interact with them.

Hopefully this game won't take much longer to get into retail.

Looks who's S.T.A.L.K.I.N.G.

The Life Half with Steve Zissou

A Richard Pryor cameo. Sweet.

BTW, this game looks like the greatest thing evah.

Lol, I was just playing Doom 3 and thought to myself how bland it was when I shot all sorts of artillary at the environments (walls, computers, weird machines, etc.) and absolutely nothing happened. Heck, even Far Cry had more environment interaction with explosives and such.

Thats just one of the reasons why I'm looking foward to HL2.

Some of these are just BEGGING for captions.

Oh, remember that you can make your own HL2 stuff using XSI - FREE!:

according to a eurogamer article, we won't see it until november 23rd. it's not an official date yet, but vivendi is strongly hinting that it's accurate.

yeah, it's a long time to wait, but when you're worried that you won't see the game until next year, november 23rd sounds excellent.

mmmm, it'd be really cool if you will get to climb that thing and look out over City 17, I'd imagine the draw distance would be quite something.

fwiw, we are getting the opp. to review HL2 in a few weeks. so that's a pretty strong indicator that awesomeness looms.

I like how some people think that specularity is somehow a flaw.

Art wins.

Looks stunning. One hell of an engine.
