supa_al Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Hello there Just tried out the Lost Coast level for Half Life 2 Its really pretty, luckily my system can handle it. This is just a sample of what games can look like for future consoles, which is sweet.
suvo Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 The only reason I dont wanna try it is cause all you do is walk around ?!?!?! from what i gathered. maybe I might give it a look.
Agozer Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Eh, it's just available so that VALVe can show off what they can do with HDR rendering. I'll give it a go once I reinstall Steam.
OverlordMondo Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 If you want a really awesome map for Half-Life 2, try out the South Beach map.
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 errr, I have an original Half-Life 1 CD, does that qualify me for a steam account?
Agozer Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 errr, I have an original Half-Life 1 CD, does that qualify me for a steam account?Yes, since Steam is a separate program. Not having and original CD doesn't prevent you from creating a Steam account. When you start adding games to your Steam account, then those CDs with serial numbers and all count.
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 so it's possible to play you online in a half-life 1 or any mod for it right?
Gryph Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Yeah, if you have a legit key then just install Steam and authenticate your product. I played it last night and was fairly impressed. A fun little level. Certainly good for a free tech demo.
Nusumenai Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I just finished playing it. It's really quiet interesting. Throught the level there are comments on how they got the certain effects to work. Some of the effects are really amazing. I really enjoyed the sun glare... You step out into the sunlight after being in a dark hallway, you will feel the need to turn around... But gradually, your eyes adjust to the light. It's really great.
OverlordMondo Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Steam down! Steam down! *cough* I'll try out the map next time I get the chance, sounds cool.
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 is that half-life 2 gold box edition worth it?
