Dear Esther Graphics update

[Maxey]

theriddlen, you’re an idiot.

I think what that guy achieved is completely breathtaking. He was able to give a more advanced engine a run for its money with an older engine. That’s the power of fantastic art direction.

So much bitching and I have only one thing to add…

I sure hope those stalactites and stalagmites are all breakable.

So do I. This trailer looks wonderful.

I just say that CryEngine is better, but what this guy did with Source is a masterpiece.

[Maxey]

So stop nitpicking over small details and appreciate the fact that the Source engine, as outdated as it may be, is able to render something that is comparable in visual quality to something on the CryEngine.

I do appreciate it.

But i deny OP’s statement.

The bottom line here is that you’re impossible to please, and should really get over it.

“This trailer looks wonderful.”

“what this guy did with Source is a masterpiece.”

Covering your tracks; YOU FAIL AT IT

@theriddlen

Source is an old engine, less advanced that top-of-the-line CryEngine 2. As you could see, even this nice looking Source mod “Dear Esther” is far less good looking than Crysis. Look at the textures - they aren’t sharp even in small youtube window. And the darkness in this trailer is used by author to hide it from our eyes.

:meh:

there were no weapons or anything that could affect phys props in the original, so unless your avatar is really really heavy i don’t think they’ll be gibbable

so why didnt ep 2 look liek this ?

[King_Kaddo]

The programmers needed a lot of time to implement the ssbump shader I guess.

@Bolteh

Source is on OSX and Windows, CryEngine3 isn’t.

So logically, Source > CryEngine3.

Thank you, Macfag.

@Spooboy

The Mist is the novella by Stephen King, Dark Tower is the Graphic Novel based roughly on The Mist and…

…Half Life is a game loosely based on the novella.

[Deathmonkey7]

Oh fuck. Nevermind me. I’m fail.

I knew that but they could still be breakable just for those who abuse impulse 101.

I sure hope it doesn’t become a commercial project, I want to download it without breaking any laws.
