[url]http://www.reddit.com/r/gamernews/comments/na53h/valve_arg_is_false_confirmed_by_marc_laidlaw_hl2/[/url] Sorry everyone. Until next time!
And that, my friends, marks the end of all our hopes and dreams. Until next time, thread, hopefully E3.
Welp, back to waiting for the next red herring.
VALVe is going to be at CES 2012. (Jan 9-16) I'll check it out while I'm there for you, although its about steam so there is little to no chance of EP3 mention.
I don't like all that fat jokes about gabe, but i almost fell of my chair after reading this [sp]Gabe Newell is so fat, he has to noclip around the Valve office[/sp]

[QUOTE=Butthurter;33684809]hah i doubt it, look at cs:go and l4d2 oh whoops did i say that? i meant source is the best!! XD[/QUOTE] leave never come back
Gah...I guess it's back to waiting another couple of months for the next pointless hype up.

[QUOTE=Soleeedus;33696672]leave never come back[/QUOTE] You just insulted my puddin', and you're so fucking wrong, source is ugly old and outdated. I'm gonna use your head for a BOWLING ball.
Maybe it IS old and outdated but look at the graphical differences between L4D2 and HL2. Pretty amazing for an old and outdated engine.
Source is ageless and immortal
[QUOTE=Recurracy;33697860]Maybe it IS old and outdated but look at the graphical differences between L4D2 and HL2. Pretty amazing for an old and outdated engine.[/QUOTE] l4d2 does not look much better than hl2 imo
The best showcase of source is episode 1 and parts of episode 2. Hl2 is too old to use as a fair comparison and left 4 dead 2 was just plain ugly.
[QUOTE=Folgergeist;33697971]The best showcase of source is episode 1 and parts of episode 2. Hl2 is too old to use as a fair comparison and left 4 dead 2 was just plain ugly.[/QUOTE] I dunno, man. Portal 2 looked pretty damn gorgeous at times.
[QUOTE=Folgergeist;33697971]The best showcase of source is episode 1 and parts of episode 2. Hl2 is too old to use as a fair comparison and left 4 dead 2 was just plain ugly.[/QUOTE] Portal 2 is by far the best example of Source looking good, followed by EP2 and Left 4 Dead 1 imho.
[QUOTE=Folgergeist;33697971]The best showcase of source is episode 1 and parts of episode 2. [/QUOTE] Let's compare in a fair scripted made-to-be-impressive scenes. Watch this from 3:30 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR9CVPe3CQQ[/media] And this one from 1:05 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJR96XPU6G4[/media] I honestly think that Portal 2 looks better with it's post processing effects and textures. Many will agree and many will not giving valid points why it's EP2 which has better graphics. But we Valve fans know better than anyone that graphics don't make a game so please shut the fuck up and stop measuring penises of your favorite Valve game.

[QUOTE=Folgergeist;33698456]The fuck are you on about?[/QUOTE] About the last two pages comparing visuals?
[QUOTE=-TRASE-;33698474]About the last two pages comparing visuals?[/QUOTE] what about it?
[QUOTE=Folgergeist;33697971]The best showcase of source is episode 1 and parts of episode 2. Hl2 is too old to use as a fair comparison and left 4 dead 2 was just plain ugly.[/QUOTE] When I was first playing Portal 2, the introduction when you're being knocked into the loading dock it looked almost to absolute real, Source has came a long way since Half Life 2 and to be perfectly honest HL3 will have some really neat scripted scenes/cinematic moments.
[QUOTE=Satane;33699034]yeah that scene was amazing. i heard somewhere it took a very long time to render[/QUOTE] In the Dev commentary
Being optimistic and thinking maybe we will get something before E3, something that will lead us to an announcement at E3 perhaps.
I personally find BF3 to be ugly, they overuse dynamic lights. Source for me was best in Portal 2 and Episode 1, if you go through the Hospital in Episode one you will see what I mean, the phong in that game was perfect, not too strong like Left 4 Dead 2, but it was there unlike in HL2. Source also still has the best facial animation than anyone else.
