[QUOTE=Pjodlypoops;18384725]no. you're all idiots. these all appear on screens.[/QUOTE]
No they doesn't.
[QUOTE=-TRASE-;18384929]No they doesn't.[/QUOTE]
The arctic card is from the skybox in the Borealis screen.
The other one is from where mossman gets attacked.
Not EP3.
Who cares? The fact still remains that many people haven't had a good look at these images.
I for one, am on the edge because I want this game so fucking badly!
[QUOTE=-TRASE-;18382062][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)

Isn't that one of those 100 year old pictures, but coloured in with modern technology? I say this because it looks familiar, and the outline for the trees in the backround go all screwy.

Well, this picture is half way of becoming a texture.
If the first picture is ingame, I will :byodood:. Even if it isn't, that's still an awesome picture.

Uhm... So apparently there was supposed to be another chapter.
Didn't EP1 had a EP2 trailer?
None of these are new. They're probably new for most of you, yes, but since I'm a mapper I've seen these a few times while scrolling through the texture browser, and I can assume other mappers have too. I don't see the point for this thread, everything you've shown here was used and seen on Episode Two.

These are showing up on screens before you get to see the Borealis for the first time.

As that guy said, it's probably some painting mappers used to base themselves on, just like modelers use images while modeling to base themselves on.

That's the scene the advisors break in and kill Eli.
[QUOTE=Butthurter;18392080]No. Originally, the final level was supposed to be a different chapter. If you looked closely, you could see it's still the hangar.[/QUOTE]
Yes, but theres a person next to Alyx trying to reach for her. Wonder who is it? Eli? Gordon?
No there isn't.
[QUOTE=NixNax123;18394980]No there isn't.[/QUOTE]
Yea there is.
where?
[QUOTE=NixNax123;18395425]where?[/QUOTE]
In that one picture, look at the bottom where the arrow is pointing. You can see a hand reaching out and a head.
oh there it is
rate me dumb
i searched for the snow with piceye, found nothing :(
This first picture in the thread is not showed in the game. Read Raising The Bar, people...
It is used:
a) Before they start doing a level, they take photos of real place, photoshop the game over it and see if it looks good. If it looks good, they make it into the map. Example:

b) They use it for making texture (not likely, wrong angle)
c) Just to show level designers what they need to do with this playable but not pretty orange map. (they make orange maps first, then after playtesting the playability and gameplay, make it look pretty)
Taken from RTB book.
NEw comer to this thread, and i must say...
Nice Find to Who-ever Dug this up.
Love the first picture.
Cant wait to use those textures in mapping.
