Feel sorry for the poor soul who has to play it like the first pictures...

I guess it's also a testament to how scalable VALVe made their game...
 
It still looks decent with low quality thought, which backs up your statement on scalability..
 
I remember before i got my decent gaming comp i had to play it on low, i hated it :( now i can play it on the high qual settings which looks lush :D
 
Like DevgruSeal said, it actually looks suprisingly good at low quality.
 
I played the XBOX version so I am sort of between those shots. But hopefully it will look even better than the PC High quailty ones for XBOX 360.
 
Ha that's nothing. I tried playing on my laptop. It could barely handle the intro sequence. It can't do the refractive shader and so Alyx and the vorts were a mass of wireframe. The screen was alomost white with lines. Justy barely passed it. Alos it can't handle remote camera's.
 
Nice comparisive shots. You have to admit, while Valve is keeping up the amazing quality in their game, they're still doing a great job with supporting their low-end players. Hell, even if the game looked like the low-quality version, I would still love it :)
 
you have to admit that that low quality source still looks better then most console games! I dont have a very good pc and im still decideing wether or not to get a car, ps3, or new PC... however till i do get a better pc i have to play E1 on pretty low standards even though the auto settings are for medium my pc still lags it when ever there is more then 3 people in one lager map doing anything! I plan on getting a new pc before E2... I dont want to ruin the game with shitty graphics... even if it takes me 2 years!

Pesronally I think a car > games. Car would cost more in the end, but...is a chick gonna dig you for your gaming rig, or your car? :P

um... for starters, there will be half life 2, E1 & 2, portals, and TF2 ( i cant be ceritain but this is what i remember reading in my PSM )... but I think I'll just buy it for pc... not much looks great now... only time will tell... but that new Insomniac game looks tight... I which they could make it for pc... stuid sony... and i will... at one point in time... buy the PS3.. probably after the holidays... like... 6 months after the holidays...

If that's all you want, why not get a 360 instead? It will have "half life 2, E1 & 2, portals, and TF2", and the 360 version is actually being done by VALVe! Not some random company that EA hired to port it on Ps3 because VALVe refused to **** around with the "Cell".

What on EARTH are you talking about? Valve is developing the PS3 inhouse, and Gabe's comments awhile back about the cell were just that it was more difficult to program for. They didn't say they were outsourcing the development.

I'll find you a link.

EDIT:

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/halflife2episode2/news.html?sid=6156496&mode=recent
"Lombardi also confirmed the PC Half-Life 2: Episode Two would launch alongside the 360 edition, which Valve is developing internally, and the PS3 edition. Lombardi also told Eurogamer that the PS3 Episode Two is being codeveloped at an unnamed internal EA studio, as well as at Valve's Bellevue, Washington, headquarters."

Ok, neither of us were totally right, the Ps3 version is being done partly at this EA studio and partly at VALVe, while VALVe is doing the PC and Xbox 360 versions on it's own.

Of course, if another company was to port their game, VALVe would have to have SOME involvement. Even if they are only going to work on a *tiny* little bit of the Ps3 game, they're going to call it "co-development".
 
Ahem, on-topic...

I have to play CS:S on low everything with no bump or spec maps :(
 
Even on low setting any source games looks fine,VALVe did a good job.Or should we say:They made good the homework:laugh:
(blitz-OMG again pics with alyx...)
 
Kamakazi, why do all your screenshots look sooo.... ORANGE? Eh?:E
 
3.0GHz of CPU, 2G Ram and a 7900GT is good enough for the highest quality. But why there is no 6xAA?
 
I love the eye reflection thing they added in episode 1 it looks so hot.
 
<3 source graphics. Can't wait to see those cinematic physics in Episode 2.

I need to find out what's causing the subtle jumpiness...
 
alyx looks like a lez to me with that short hair. The fact that she digs Gordon sucks because I find her annoying as hell.
 
Low-quality stilly looks better than Big Rigs.

I think I played it most things on maximum and with 1152x864 res.
 
How on earth does low-quality look better then a decent rig on High .... I guess i'm just failing to see the logic there
