That shot really doesn\'t impress me in the least. I agree it looks better than the PC version, but it pales in comparison to Unreal Tourney and Quake3 on PC.

based on that captured pic,you can decipher what the game will look like completely finished..hmmm!? you have to also take in account that HL is an older game than UT / Q3. it (HL) might look good but i don\'t think it ever was the staple of graphic quality all other games were judged by,it was the gameplay / story that made it special. i won\'t judge until seen it in action,you should do the same...

Ummm dude its a magazine scan



and yes Quake 3 on the PC will look better, but I won\'t be buying a new $300 graphics card a $250 PIII 900 and another 64mb of mem so I will be capable of playing Quake 3

Id stand with Meth on this one, theres nothing there to really distinguish it from the DC version, looking at it the map looks remarkably similar to the PC version (minus the obviously higher poly count models), perhaps its not the best pick of the bunch or maybe we shouldnt _too_ much from the conversion -not everything has to be earthshaking. Im interested in seeing what their PS2 exclusive content for this title is going to be though, gearbox are a good quality development team.

Half-Life..?  C\'mon!  Having just jammed in a gForce MX card into my PC, I\'m more interested in someone porting Counter-Strike to the PS2!!! :D  What a wicked game.  C-S is absolutely causing me to cheat on my PS2 in the evenings...and that\'s just ashame!!!

I don\'t find that pic any better then Halflife on my com. I can take a screenshot if you guys really want. I\'m running it on a Geforce system. :D but really. Too me that pic looks just about the same.

So umm why go on about it.. hmm. Why bother. Why not say.
"half life on pc"

But no.. he made it sound like the pic was Wicked.
Title: For the record...
Post by: w1ngman on February 01, 2001, 09:29:56 PM
I swear, man, I must NEVER be able to state what I mean...  As far as my own post on this thread goes, I never tried to turn it into a "this is better, I\'m not impressed" issue.  

My statement was simply meant to express that (given that Half-Life is coming to the PS2) I would hope someone will make Counter-Strike for the PS2 as well!!!  Set that puppy up on PS2 with on-line play, a solid connection, and I\'ll be a happy puppy!

How\'s that? :D

There\'s difference between PC and PS2 graphics; and the shadows look very real, but I can\'t say anything about DC version compared to PS2.

But I agree that you shouldn\'t judge the final game from one pesky shot. I think it\'s going to be beautiful and interesting to see what the game contains ( as extraz ).

I\'m happy that half-life is made ( even \'tho it\'s an old game, it\'s one of the best FPS\'s ever! ) so the experience can spread to Sonyists too ( wich don\'t have the classic on computer... well, that\'s quite rare but... well I think everyone has had it :) ).

It\'s a great game and IF you haven\'t played it I suggest you to get it to your computer ( Half-Life Generation pack is wonderful ) or then wait for it to come out to PS2.

well as expected,the PS2 model is way better than the pc model shown (by the way,i use a tnt2 video card so i was wondering if your Gforce card made pics any better at low res.,why i asked to see a captured pic,but looks \'bout the same as mine could deliver at that res.) but the surrounding textures are not too much difference but does look cleaner on PS2 pic (but remember this is still a mag pic as ddaryl said). the big difference seems to be the lighting and shadowing from the pics,a big benefit of the PS2 offers.

I agree with MD on the most part. But this 1 thing.

It\'s not the ps2.. It\'s more about, When HL came out on pc.. There really wasn\'t anything like REALTIME lighting.. Now geforce cards do T&L. Games like Q3, UT etc use this. So the shadows on the newer pc games are just as good as any shadow ps2 can render. :D
But the cost is alot more. :(
If HL was made on pc TODAY. I wonder how it would be better. I\'m guessing the textures would be sharper and clearer. There would be WAY better lighting and shadows etc. But the game was made in the 3DFX era. So we got what we got. Untill/If a patch comes out that can give the game a rehall.

good point you mention,but then it comes back down to the original post by Chrono and when you look at the pics after what we have seen now,i think his statement is clearer and right to the point. :D

According to the developers, one of the most noticable differances will be the models. On the PC the models had to be "toned down" to compensate for some peoples S#it boxes. They went all out and made some kick ass models. The comparison between the PC and DC models was really impressive.

BTW, This is from Next-Gen. I have been quoting them a lot lately. :D
