[QUOTE=Shirky;35176730]Cartoony?[/QUOTE] the thing that i've admired the l4d style for is the fact that it's not one of those hit and miss on the realism, take homefront for example, it's attempt at looking realistic falls flat on it's face because of the limited engine. However, l4d and CS:GO go in the opposite direction and maintain a style that makes it looks like a lively scene without it being realistic. This in my opinion is one of the best art styles there is because it doesn't get lost in the uncanny valley
I don't really understand why people are complaining about the visuals, the game looks so fantastic.

But none of the textures seem to have really any detail.
Great thing about L4d2 and portal 2, because it's stylized, it looks good on any graphics settings. Whereas, you take a realistic game and put it on lowest, it looks like shit.
10 bucks says Baggage will be based on Dead Air, much like how Death Toll -> Lake and Swamp Fever -> Saint Marc.
[QUOTE=Kahgarak;35177072]10 bucks says Baggage will be based on Dead Air, much like how Death Toll -> Lake and Swamp Fever -> Saint Marc.[/QUOTE] I suppose it will, but it doesn't mean it's a bad thing as long as the map looks well and plays well.
Got invited to the Guild Wars 2 beta, I wanted a CS:GO invite :( Can't complain I guess

[QUOTE=Cactusman;35177423]That's CSS?[/QUOTE] yea
I hate how my friend compares CS:GO to Crysis. He says CS:GO looks like it's from 2004. I told him to look at CS:S, and he said "There's not much difference in the games, they both look the same, one just has better shadows". [IMG]http://emotibot.net/pix/4135.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=FullStreak12;35177543]yea[/QUOTE] then why post it here
I don't like how the CTs just look like "generic modern shooter" people, Ts look decent, but too similar
Wow if Hidden Path made the first person weapon animations, then we need to get rid of them.
I also don't have a twitter account so I can't just tweet the CS:GO dev twitter...
Then make one. It takes one minute.
Yea, the first person weapon animations aren't great, but I think they're a hell of a load better than CS:S animations.
To get an idea of how much the game has progressed graphically from beginning stages to now, here's a semi-bad pic from an old IGN preview: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/3fec9764.png[/img] And now: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/2012-03-17_000012.jpg[/img] Galil is in both pics
[QUOTE=wombo;35178416][img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/3fec9764.png[/img][/QUOTE] That picture looks like it was taken out of a ps2 game.
[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;35178448]That picture looks like it was taken out of a ps2 game.[/QUOTE] The video quality was pretty bad though, but overall it still seems much more detailed.
I want a remake of Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes. But keep any and all Russian laughing the same.
That IGN screenshot could also be from the 360 build.
Jesus fuck, a friend could've given me a CS:GO beta invite, and he knew I wanted it so badly, and gave it to somebody else...
[QUOTE=Tuskin;35178774]That IGN screenshot could also be from the 360 build.[/QUOTE] Nope, it's from the PC build. In other gameplay videos by IGN, you can see that they're using mouse. Then again, it could be the ps3 build and they're using mouse and keyboard.

Is it just me or do none of the world textures have normal maps?
