The original level in Source

Yeah I posted this in the HL3 thread on another part of the forum but it probably does warrant its own thread.
Nevermind error post
Those screenshots look cool. I need to play Left 4 Dead 2 soon.
Gonna play devil’s advocate here. That’s an elaborate fake that could very well been achieved with CSGO’s SDK. Since you’re not going for performance, you can go nuts on detail and reduce the screens’ sizes to hide much of the faked detail.
Can’t help but notice it’s apparently using the default office theme…
Also the lighting looks pretty much the same as CS:GO - which isn’t surprising in and of itself, but considering CS:GO only has dynamic shadows with sunlight - it’d be nice to see an indoor scene with dynamic shadows to disprove that
Not sure if I want it to be real or not. The leaves on the trees in the background really look shitty, kind of a weird contrast of high and low quality. And it still looks exactly like the original source, just with really high res textures and a high level of detail. My suspicion: somebody’s college project or something that’s being mislabeled as leaked Source 2.
real and straight
just kidding
Wouldn’t it be easier to upload/copy the powerpoint file and over than to screencap it and upload/copy the image over?
Also if the leaker didn’t have access to the powerpoint file, why is the keyboard language set to German?
Because he’s german? Why is that even a mystery?
If it’s supposed to be internal, you’d expect it to be on a machine at Valve, which is in America, an English speaking country.
Though it’s just as possible that the employee is natively German and has their machine set to that.
I understand, but allegedly these screenshots come from valve. I’m just saying, who would switch the default keyboard language on their computer at work? Especially considering the two layouts are very similar and it would be trivial to type in German on an American English keyboard…

“Rebuilt in Source 2.0 with increased level of detail”
Somehow, I don’t buy it.
No, the guy who took the screenshot lives in germany and he got access to that file somehow.
So if it wasn’t kept internally at Valve, why didn’t the German guy just export/extract the images to see them in their original quality?
I am 99.9% sure that it’s fake at this point.
Because a leak is much more dramatic if you have only one lame image to carefully overanalyze.

I don’t remember the last time a leak convinced me of it’s authenticity right off the bat. If t hat’s ever even happened.
At first, I bought it and got kind of excited… but that tree, and the things you guys are saying here make a lot of sence.
Another thing that kind of bothered me about the remake, is that the mood and style are COMPLETELY different. You COULD posit that L4D2’s style was derived from the engine limitations it faced, but I don’t think that they’d really completely change the style of a map REMAKE, even if it is only for internal testing.
I’m on the “fake wagon” now.
