FakeFactory is going crazy again - Games

[QUOTE=killz2much;19528021]The last good Cinematic Mod was V4 when everything was just a higher-res looking HL2.[/QUOTE] Even then it was ripped mainly from the guy he was "Working" with.

[QUOTE=Zeos;19528933]Even then it was ripped mainly from the guy he was "Working" with.[/QUOTE] This speaks the truth. The Ogg Hage bump maps were given with permission and Hage never saw the light of day after CMod had more versions released. I prefer SSbumps (see avatar).

Hey guys wanna see something funny? [QUOTE=cman2k (Black Mesa Mod Team Leader)]Fun fact. Fakefactory applied for Black Mesa. He was DENIED.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;19575021]Hey guys wanna see something funny?[/QUOTE] This is why I actually can sleep at night.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;19575021]Hey guys wanna see something funny?[/QUOTE] He would apply for valve, but he knows that instead of his application being denied, gabe would- *place gabe is fat joke here*

The reason why there's so much hate towards fakefactory isn't because people hate what he's doing. People hate how he's doing it. It's like someone building something for other people, but then adding really stupid shit to it that some people like, but the majority don't. Then people chip in with ideas to fix it, but are ignored. People admire what he's doing, and think there's a better way to do it, but he ignores them, so he is reviled.

I do like his stuff it's just some of it bugs me.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;19575021]Hey guys wanna see something funny?[/QUOTE] Of course he was, otherwise Black Mesa: Source would be filled with stolen textures and sexy female scientists with down syndrome.

[QUOTE=killz2much;19576272]Of course he was, otherwise Black Mesa: Source would be filled with stolen textures and sexy female scientists with down syndrome.[/QUOTE] True But HE Would Have a lawsuit cause black mesa source is already a mod in dev right now and fakefactory just gonna tell the devs of black mesa source tht they suck at models when he does

Feh, it looks alright, definitely not amazing. I wish he'd make default alyx hi res instead of broadcasting his Adriana Lima obsession all over his mods. She's attractive, sure, but not anything really special, and the models make the real Lima look like a fucking goddess because of how ugly they are.

Is it just me, or does all this guy ever do is try to re-texture Alyx? Every time I see his mods on garrysmod.org, they almost always have something to do with her.

[QUOTE=demoniclemon;19586244]He has an apparent hard-on for Alyx, in each of his mods, Alyx has 50 more models than every other character, each sluttier than the last.[/QUOTE] Thing is a don't really blame him for re-texturing her seeing as she isn't something i want to look at in the first place.

What I want is: a) some higher resolution, realistic but faithful to the original Valve textures b) more detailed models that still feature the same anatomy as the originals THAT'S IT. Why can't he just do this?

OH I spy pelpix's Eye mod, with some fancy poser iris added. Edit: ninjad by pelpix himself...

Looks nice.

I love fakefactory discussions.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;19589019]Because he didn't make the models or textures. He simply oversized textures that he found on Google, or bought somewhere and slammed some detail layer on it instead of doing a detailmap that Source could handle. And as TH89 has been saying for the past 6/7/8 threads regarding new Cinematic Mods, he didn't make the models. He just simply bought them and converted to the Source engine.[/QUOTE] Oh I know. I kind of meant "Why can't SOMEBODY just do this?", it would upstage FAKEfactory and be more popular.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;19603221]Oh I know. I kind of meant "Why can't SOMEBODY just do this?", it would upstage FAKEfactory and be more popular.[/QUOTE] Because this "Hi-Res/Detail/Whatever" HL2 non-sense was a fad that should have died in 2006. And only a few talentless hacks who still can't let go still don't realize that Half-Life 2's time has passed and it's time to move on. And the people who have real skill and competence have better things to work on then rehashing characters from another IP. I applaud even the most generic military/zombie skins and models because at least they are more original then retreading the same, tired HL2 designs. No one wants to see another Gordon Freeman or Alyx Vance texture or model. Those characters are dead and no one's interested in Half-Life anymore. Move on already.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;19589019]he didn't make the models. He just simply bought them and converted to the Source engine.[/QUOTE] He sure does love his mod so much.

He is shame for the Kaiser! Wait...

Ewwwww, the fake factory version is all... fugly. Everyone got bathed in oil etc. [editline]11:50AM[/editline] I'm too lazy to try it atm, but could someone post a pictures of the face-fucktory wrap over the default alyx model? :v:

Ok STOP IT HERE, everybody is shouting: OH MY GOD WHY DID HE REPLACE MODEL XY. Just to inform some people here: there is a tool, where you can choose IF you want to use one of "his" models or not and WHICH of them. So dont complain about it, just use the models you like and everything is fine. And you cant say these models are not looking better than the originals:(like the girl at 0.30) [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijwWdWKpDvA[/URL] EDIT: and oh year, someone complained about the German voice over: Iam from germany and the original Voive over of our voice actors was <censored>. They put more atmosphere into it, i like it. MOst of our games here in german have absolutely crappy voice actors. People they got from somewhere and are not able to do it right. Thats why most german peoples prefer to buy the US Originals to have a good voice over. FF did a great job with the voice over for the citizens(the other dialougse are original and will remain original). Greets Memnarch

[QUOTE=Memnarch;19613080] And you cant say these models are not looking better than the originals:(like the girl at 0.30)[/QUOTE] the originals had character these have megapixels and not much else and i really don't give a shit for the new "soundtrack", it's supposed to be minimalist electronica because it fits.

[QUOTE=TH89;19509077]He indented the iris and changed the cubemap. That's not hard to do.[/QUOTE] Just cause you twits spammed disagrees doesn't mean he's wrong :\/ . Cube maps are the shine tints you see on stuff in game, and it's obvious he just intensified the reflections for his.

Don't get me wrong, Fakefactory's stuff looks really good. But it isn't what HL2 was intended to be like. Not with the music, and especially not with the characters.

[QUOTE=PelPix123;19626707]The shader is actually spherical harmonic based with raytracing used to cull unlit pixels.[/QUOTE] Isn't it a bit much for an eye ?
