Looks great to me. In other news, the Far Cry demo also looks freakin' awesome. Although I had some difficulty with the controls. I just couldn't get them to feel right.
That's actually a LOT of people. And I'm gonna play all the way through this time because it's on a comfy couch/TV now.

Well, the textures are pretty much ruined. I suppose that it is the result of the game being a port, as a lot of native XBOX FPS titles outdo that pretty handily. Perhaps the texture variety is simply much higher with HL2, though? I dunno, but those character textures are just bad. The textures remind me of some PC -> PS2 port, or something (NOT a good thing). OK, perhaps not THAT bad, but still...
At the very least, like Doom 3, it should look nice in motion AND, if they pull off what they were talking about, it could be a much more seamless experience.

IMO, should have been done on the X360. Even my crappy computer makes Half-Life 2 look better. That second picture is especially weak.
However, it's forgiveable because the game is so good. For those who have really bad computers, it will be worth it.

Eh it looks pretty solid, xbox version looks pretty good considering the video ram it has to work with.

Doom 3 on the Xbox was great, HL2 should be better
HL2 doesnt have little hermaphrodite anime characters running around, why should you care?
PC Alyx:
Xbox Alyx:
Honestly, it looks horrible to me. They should have made this a 360 game. But Valve flaked out.
Err, did you even play the game? That is NOT Alyx in the second shot.ToxicAdam said:HL2 doesnt have little hermaphrodite anime characters running around, why should you care?

That is not Xbox Alyx.
Edit: :lol Dont try to save face now by replacing the shot. You thought the girl in white was Alyx. Fess up.

It's low-res and the textures aren't high quality but it looks good! Wonder how they will handle the loading on Xbox?

So, do we have a release date on this yet?

You know, you're absolutely right. I'll throw a couple of winking smileys on there for you.
Are we comparing anything to those games? No. Why bring them up?Gregory said:
Fact is, this looks considerably worse than a lot of the best FPS titles on the XBOX. Riddick and Halo 2, for example, stand far ahead of this. Those aren't the only ones either. Unlike Doom 3, HL2 doesn't really have a sense of motion to fall back on (Doom 3 animates so damn well, afterall) and the bright environments will reveal the flaws more easily (Doom 3 managed to hide its low resolution textures fairly well as a result of the darkness).
Looks great for the system (some of the posters in this thread are clearly on the smack), not a touch on the PC version, but considering what kind of PC you need to run the PC version at its best, if this runs at a decent framerate (And without the annoying pauses) then its a programming miracle.

Ya this picture is absolutely awful. I remember that part of the game - on the PC when you start to see the tripods in the distance they are awe-inspiring. Those Xbox screens look unbelievably flat.
Graphics aren't everything, but having seen the PC version I'd never be able to stomach that.

Considerably worse? Gimme a break.
Riddick looks good, yes. Also much smaller environments. Halo 2? I don`t thnk it looks any better than this. Doom 3? See Riddick.
This looks great for 2001 tech and 64mb ram. People bashed Doom 3 pics. Then they saw it running and everyone shut up.

'Laff'? You mean to tell me you can't be bothered to type out 'laugh', even though it's only one more fucking letter? People get lazier every day, I swear...
I skipped Half-Life 2 for PC because I refuse to support Steam. If Valve ever was insane enough to require online validation for the Xbox version (especially since the game's single-player only--I can't see forcing people to get XBL just to play a single player game), I'd skip that, too. Thankfully, nobody at Valve seems to be that stupid, so I'll be picking this up.

Looks fine. Why the hate. As has been pointed out, Doom 3 looked awful in shots, stuttered like hell in early builds but came through looking and playing great. Only downer will be the load times.
As for the Gabe Newell thread. Well a HDD obviously helps in load times, but honestly, if you can't code a FPSer game on a console with 512MB of memory then you shouldn't be coding at all. What did he expect, 360 to lauch with 2 GIG of memoryala the min spec for the latest PC games. Lazy bastard.
