Half Life 2 back to being the best looking game?

its pretty hard to argue with cinimatic mod 10,

Crysis still looks better plus they made Alyx look like a hooker which ruins it a bit.

Yup, most realistic...

That's a nice plastic labcoat

Looks pretty sweet, makes me want to install HL 2 again.

Well I have crazy download speeds and a 1TB hd. I can leave it on over night and I want to start HL all over, but have no reason to. This graphical update may be what I need.

That mod is cheating. They use real-life textures which means it only looks realistic if you look at it head on. Once you look at it from an angle you realize everything is flat and there are no details whatsoever. This excludes characters, but most walls and objects are just textured with detail.

HL2 wasn't the best looking game when it came out, Doom 3 was... And it isn't the best looking now. And seriously, what's with changing Alex's face from a rather distinctive, narrow, freckley one to pretty much a generic female model type face?

Half-Life 2 looks a lot better than Doom 3, especially in the animations. God, that game was so cinematic. The detail put into Alyx and her expressions. Wow!

Wtf did they do to alyx vance :? :cry:Wii_Gamer_277

ik rite look at the one in my icon, shes so pretty. they better not change her face in half life 3

Having played both... yes. As a whole, Doom 3 is just freaking ugly. Everything about it.

PS2_ROCKS

not only is that not true and completly illogical....but the vast majority of realistic looking games out there use real-life textures. Nothing is changed by looking at it head on or not. Its still a flat 2d texture anyway.

IpreferredHL2 to Doom 3, not by miles, but still. Yes, some of Half-Life 2 looked anti-septic, but it visualized certain landscapes and characters wonderfully. A game that had a believable dystopian urbanenvironment, a rare dystopian ruralenvironmentwith a distinctly Pacific Northwest kind of feel,futuristic (but actually believable) mesh of alien and dystopian human military installation/processing center. Not just industrial wasteland, warehouse, factory, or dare I say space colony/station. Rust and Ooze were not the only focus of HL2, thank god. Walking outside onto Mars for the first time in Doom 3 was a trip though, have to admit that.

I am creeped out by how attatche people are to Alyx. The model shown in the picture is Adrianna Lima a model. The maker of the mod has also made an original Alyx model (big breasts and all) as well as in CM 10 he created an HD version of the Alyx seen in HL2. I just wish I had enough ram to play this...4gb...that Ill have when Windows 7 is released=(

What's the best place to get the mod from?

You could try gameupdates. If they dont have you can ask them to upload it and it usually only takes a day or so for someone to respond.

Wow..that actually looked amazing, I knew PC graphics were good, but I didn't know that they were THAT good.

They ruined Alyx. I liked the original one because her charm didn't come from her physical appearance, but from her character. She was a believable character (I mean how many geniuses do you know of that look like super models?) Now Alyx looks like some stripper at the local club. When companies get concept artists to design characters and environments, its a well thought out process, requiring many hours of thought and input. Characters in games look the way they do for a reason so people shouldnt just jump in and make amendments at will, because it can destroy the whole feel. I cant imagine the above Alyx speaking her dialog :?II_Seraphim_II

Person above is right. The creator of the mod himself has said that this is the last version becouse Source is at its limit, this is the best it will get and the modder cant push anymore out of the aging engine.

Crysis still looks better plus they made Alyx look like a hooker which ruins it a bit.
