[quote=Silent Rebel]I was digging around episode two materials.gcf with GCFScape and I found some interesting things, I hope you can put these to good use.
1. There are several file-name references to an arctic base.
[b][u][i]2. Arctic landscape; episode 3 beta screenshot? file-name: arctic_card_01.vtf

3. Arctic Base Screenshot. file-name: arctic_base_shot.vtf

4. Hi-Res Borealis Concept. file-name: borealis_01.vtf

Don't worry about the last 2, but the first one. Concept? Possible in-game shot? What do you think it is?
I have never seen the first and the last images before..
Also, nice find..

Right, I think it was on the screen after mossmans message for a breif moment then they showed the borealis..

The only thing that gets me is the sky, the ground looks quite nice though.

I'm trying to decide if it's concept art, or in-game graphics.
People will rate me boxes and say concept perhaps.
the White snowscape looks awesome! someone make it.
Yeah, the first image almost looks real :eek:
Looks like the ground is in-game, but the sky is concept. :raise:
Woah.
Ground shows up behind the hunter in Mossman's message. I think the Borealis pic is among the blueprints in the same message.
Looks like something out of Cryengine 2.

They also show it [sp]at the end of EP2 when they talk about going to the Borealis, after you launch the rocket[/sp]
That first one can't be a real in-game screenshot, it looks too damn real.

As in, they went to the Arctic and took a picture.

Could be concept art, not the actual thing.
The texture of the rocks makes me think it could be ingame, and if so, :iia:.
All of those images are used in-game on monitors.
[b]There are also real life shots of the place where dog beats up strider in ep2. I bet this is the photos for level designers (well, they can't take everything from their heads)[/b]
So i think it plays the same role as this (also found in Ep2 gcf)

Wow, nice find there. Perhaps it's time we dug deeper into the code, see if there's more that we haven't unearthed yet.
About time we found something.
The people at valve that put it in the gfc are probably thinking "Fucking finally"

Or,Wow I forgot these in the gcf.
I made a quick art in Photoshop.

My amount of want for EP3 has increased even more.
The only image that made me believe this was real was the first image, it looks like its pre-rendered when it could actually be in-game.

I really like this picture.
Interesting find, shows us that Valve hasn't given up on EP3 yet!
no. you're all idiots. these all appear on screens.

You don't even know if it's fake.
