This is really Source engine?
Underwhelming

looks similiar to... PD0?

Meet WallGirl.

^^ hideos 3DMark2001-like graphics

Bring on F.E.A.R.!

Thanks, EvilAvatar.

That's Source for ya. HL2 looks as good as it does mostly as a result of its fantastic art direction...

Meier · Jul 10, 2005

In the first one, you could shoot the office babes in the chest and it'd show their boobies.

Gattsu25 · Jul 10, 2005

I'm honestly not suprised...the Source engine ain't exactly a powerhouse

might not be what I wanted but still...this is SiN

edit: Meier, aye...remember that. Was SiN one of the first games to be anal about aiming? (i.e. smaller bounding boxes) I remember being suprised that a shot a quater of an inch to the left of a bad guy's head registered as a miss

Uncle Dukey · Jul 10, 2005

Hope it looks better in motion, because this doesn't look too good.

Attack You · Jul 10, 2005

Needs more John Blade.

DSN2K · Jul 10, 2005

looks solid and will run well.... Im happy.

Acosta · Jul 10, 2005

Not bad, not impressive, but I´m sure it´s too soon and too little to evalute anything.

By the way, now you speak about FEAR, I played story mode for a hour some days ago in the presentation in Spain.. it completely rocks, and it´s incredibly scaring as well. Gameplay graphics, enviroment, all is fantastic. I´m quite hyped for that game.

Well yeah and it looks awfully(?) realisitc as well. This tries to be cartoony or something... hopefully the gameplay will be a'ight. SiN was fun, buggy but fun.

Teknopathetic · Jul 10, 2005

As others have said, Source isn't *that* amazing. Not by today's standards. In 2003 (when Half-life 2 should've been released, but any 800 different theories explains why it didn't) Half-life 2 looked frigging *amazing* and absolutely nothing looked anywhere near it's quality. Near 2 years later, it's becoming dated (especially what with a new console gen around the corner).

nubbe · Jul 10, 2005

The chick made me think of Joanna Dark
Maybe it really is PD0!

Wasn't SiN an anime?

Originally was a game, but yeah...an anime was made

ADV Films commissioned an anime a while after the game was released.

Tain · Jul 10, 2005

Eh, this looks as I'd expect. Can't say I've played the original game, though I've always meant to.

siege · Jul 10, 2005

Looks good to me. I'm all for the Source engine. It runs fantastically.

U.2.K. Tha Greate$t · Jul 10, 2005

I still play sin one , and plan on bring it back where people can play online games, if anyone cares.

IAmtheFMan · Jul 10, 2005

Poor SiN 1. It was released and was a pretty darn good FPS, but came out at the same time that Half-life did.

Source is still pretty advanced when it comes to procedural animation. The only problem with that is no one besides Valve is that interested in using it.

Yeah, but don't even bother trying to find it. It is absolutely terrible, and not in an even moderately entertaining way.

I played the hell out of sIn way back when an adored it. It's strengths were it's graphics, and level design and detail. Music was pretty good too.

However,, Half-Life released at the same time with a more realistic combat model and now sIn's arcade-like damage system feels archaic and out of place against the rest of the features which I like about the game.

Elexis Sinclair's trap and secret laden mansion was completely awesome, but shooting a low-poly mutant in the face fifty times was not.

Nevertheless... I feel a replay coming on.

P.S. I think I liked 2015's sIn expansion more than the original game, and I originally played them back to back, after all the patches.

Funky Papa · Jul 11, 2005

I wish I could pull an alpha kit excuse because this looks remarkably mediocre =(

Half-Life 2 was good looking mostly because of the insanely good artistic direction, without the great enviroments and masterly crafted textures Source looks really poor.

teepo · Jul 11, 2005

PEOPLE LOOK

YOU'RE SHOOTING SHIT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC

BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

blackadde · Jul 11, 2005

SiN was pretty fun for what it was, I remember some horrific load times before the first patch though. Hopefully they're remake some of the multi levels, like the giant room where your character is ~an inch tall. I'm suprised nobody else has done maps like that (as far as I am aware).

Teknopathetic · Jul 11, 2005

" I'm suprised nobody else has done maps like that (as far as I am aware)."

There's been tons of maps made like this by fans.

I agree it looks fun, and hope that it will be, but damn that cop car behind the van looks downright n64 era.

dicklaurent · Jul 11, 2005

Sure hope they bring back that giant gimp meatbag abomination thing. What a fucking annoying boss that was.

Yeah, 'Behind the bookcase'.. that was a great map.

No one's done this yet?

FirstInHell · Jul 11, 2005

Has there been any info as to when they are releasing this?

I loved the first SiN and cannot wait to play this one.

Operations · Jul 11, 2005

The ugliness of the first pic reminds me of Geist.

First ep at the end of the year or something like that, no? Don't remember the month. Ah, 'this winter' is what it says.

Those shots look quite a bit better. I think this looks very, very cool. Different themes/settings/styles like this are what I'm really hoping the FPS genre explores more of in the coming years, as opposed to just more and more war games. Also, this chick > Johanna Dark.

dicklaurent · Jul 11, 2005

Oh yeah. Those shots are much better.

Much nicer. But it doesn't remind me of SiN at all.

Jacobi · Jul 11, 2005

LOL...somehow...if a site said this would be new PDO shots, I could believe it.

M3wThr33 · Jul 11, 2005

Not even the guns?

Wafflecopter · Jul 11, 2005

Honestly, the graphics don't look as good as Source can produce because of the style. No realism, highly stylized. It looks more like some teenybop FPS though.

357 Magnum only. I want my heligun back.

Templar Wizard · Jul 11, 2005

screens screens screens... sfw.
listen nay-sayers, its all about the gameplay, and a GOOD highway shootout, if assembled correctly, could be fantastic. i like the bullet holes in the side of the van.

this game could be a rollercoaster ride of set-pieces. the only problem i have is the screens of what could be in game movies. which, of course, are usually total crud.

i await with open eyes.

Katana_Strikes · Jul 11, 2005

Is that Joanna Dark? Anyways looks better than PD0...

Jacobi · Jul 11, 2005

Dav2k said:

Yeah and that is really, really sad. Screw that "ALPHA KIT"-Excus, this runs on the Source-engine and I think it well run well on an 1 year old PC.

C- Warrior · Jul 11, 2005

The PR folk for these companies should just stop releasing screens. Release videos.

And if the game isn't ready for videos, then doctor up some screens for god sakes.

Man...

Necroscope · Jul 11, 2005

Every time I see the new Sin gal, i heard Perfect Dark screaming in my head.

dark10x · Jul 11, 2005

I hope they can deliver a good game with the spirit of the original...

The first game is far too dated to duplicate, so they will need to rethink the gameplay mechanics and general design. However, I hope they lay the cheese on nice and thick...

Doom_Bringer · Jul 11, 2005

looks cool!

Rahul · Jul 11, 2005

Please! Enough with the guys in masks! PLEASE GOD

element · Jul 11, 2005

doesn't look close to these.

not that those were great.

COCKLES · Jul 11, 2005

PDO has wallguy.

Sin2 has handstand guy.

M3wThr33 · Jul 11, 2005

This is one of my favorite wallpapers.

Also, just to let the fans know, in the anime,

JC dies and it's revealed he has a much hotter sister that also goes by JC.

That's the girl you see in these images.

Edit:
Whine whine whine.
