HL Vs HL: Source

#6321 posted by Jago on 2004/12/03 18:41:13

Just found this interesting screemshot comparison comparing the original HL to the new HL remake (not HL2) on the Source engine: http://www.alyx.de/exclusive/hl-hls/index.xml

Heh, except the water, HL looks better on it's original engine. Source seemed to add a bit of brightness that really dulls down the scene. Plus those new skyboxes look totally halfassed.

Should Note:

haven't seen it in action, just going by those shots, which could have differant gamma/brightness settings between the engines/screenshot taking.

Hmm

The water concept is better in Source... I'm glad to see water that isn't predominantly BLUE this time. I haven't kept up with news on Source - is this going to be a free update to HL1, or are they reselling it, or would it be a free standalone? (doubtful)

HL: Source comes with HL2: Collector's Edition

is also part of the silver and gold packages if you purchase HL2 via STEAM.

Ahh

I'll have to wait till I build another system, if I do... (I'm going all Mac) *ducks*

hmm, well hl1src is useful for those who didn't play original hl, for veterans it's just a bit of retouched nostalgia

I have a Powerbook, it's my dedicated music computer, and the occasional SNES/NES/GEN game. Since I don't really play games much anymore (PC), I don't have much a reason to have a PC. It's just I know one day I'll reaaaaaally want to play this or that game, so I'm still contemplating having one in addition.

Oh Well

#6332 posted by . on 2004/12/04 05:12:04

Considering I can just build a PC for much much cheaper, it wouldn't really be too much to put one together, dedicate it to gaming and that's that. I probably will.

Oh Hey

I'm starting to get intrigued by Linux, I'm gonna get Mandrake running on my system and a friend's after some more research... I can't wait.

#6334 posted by Jago on 2004/12/04 07:48:34

Mandrake is far from being the best distribution of Linux, no matter the CPU architecture. I'd rather get myself Ubuntu/PPC, Debian/PPC or Gentoo/PPC. If you want a UNIX (not Linux) on your Mac, I'd give OpenBSD and NetBSD a whirl.

Not For Mac...

#6335 posted by . on 2004/12/04 17:10:33

For PC ;) -- The general impression I'm getting of Mandrake, from reading, is it's best for new users who are used to Windows/Mac? I did take a look at Gentoo though, and a friend is suggesting Mepis ( www.mepis.org ) but I dunno.

Heh

Linux is only free if your time is worth nothing.

Heh
