if dinamic dynamic lightning & weather and shadows is possible in source then its possible too
Just because somethings possible doesn’t mean they are willing to put the time and effort into making it happen, especially this late into development. If it was a feature that they saw was necessary, chances are it would already be in game.
Besides, they’re using Source 2007 with a bit more limited capabilities.
Also - “dinamic dynamic lighting”?
OT: Well, this seems like a neat little feature. Keep on rockin’.
It’s more likely that Kleiner or Eli wore an HEV suit while escaping, after seeing Gordon mostly untouched after the cascade, and they worked on upgrading it after. It is possible that Gman somehow gave Gordon’s suit to them, like the crystal in the test chamber, but until Valve says he did, we should assume that they got it somewhere else.
I’ve always assumed that the HEV suits were water tight, somewhat like dry suits.
Gordon wasn’t wearing one at the beginning of HL2 and he was at the end of HL1 which means the Gman took it from him. Remember, at the end he says “As for the suit… I think you’ve earned it.” Which means it was his to keep unlike all of his other weapons. He probably let it fall into the hands of Eli and Kleiner so they would unknowingly prep it for Gordon’s adventure through City 17. And Eli didn’t have an HEV suit on in HL1 as the other suits where taken by Gordon, Gina Cross, and Colette Green. They could have found one somewhere else around Black Mesa but I’d say the former is still more likely.
You take that part seriously, but not the part about chafed nipples? Do you have any idea how much Half-Life would benefit from nipple-chaffing simulation?
We need jiggle bones for Gordon’s man boobs to make the nipple chaffing simulation as accurate as possible.
Gotta admit, he’s got a valid point.
All this talk of nipple chaffing simulation makes me wonder if such a feature would benefit Hazard Team. I’ll talk to my nipple chaffing experts see what they can whip up for us.
i prefer my nipple chafing to be real
get a life guys chafing virgins!
Nonsense aside, someone has been referring to crowbar movement aesthetics.
I find that interesting; are there any special crowbar swings planned?
Maybe something along the lines of this.
That would be awesome, that vid was awesome, but what would be more awesome is a release. Cant let all this hard work go to waste, perfectionists never finish!
I want to see Gordon pulling out a Marine’s spine with the crowbar.
Aight, fair enough.
It should have a built in umbrella that you can unfold. and it should enable you to speak with waterfalls that give you sugary sandwiches.
You should also make it so that Gordon constantly has to adjust the suit due to its weight, and also, make it so that no texture is ever repeated in the entire game, and also add in a complex echo system in the big corridors that is exact to the most minute details, and that if an enemy shoots you in the face you die instantly (or just lose 90% of your health, depending on where you’re hit) and also make sure that when you’re grabbed by a barnacle your hands fly to your throat and you drop all your weapons and you have to try and punch it to death, and speaking of which, you should only be able to carry one or two guns at a time with highly limited ammunition stocks.
Because ultra-realistic games are so FUN.
Laser sights on everything. Even the headcrabs.
You also periodically stop every once and again and partially remove your suit to scratch your arse.
Ichthyosaurs with fricken laser beams attached to their heads.
