i've searched but couldn't find any info on this topic...

anyone know if characters will be replicated throughout the whole game? for instance in hl1 (and in most other games) we get used to seeing the same exact scientists, dogs, aliens and what not. it's understandable for aliens to look the same, but how many times have you walked into a building and saw triplets, or septuplets! (spelling?)

anyhow, just curious if they're adding tons of human models for more realism, it'd take up lots of HD space but in my opinion would be well worth it.
 
Yeah, they are making everyone look a little bit differant iirc.
 
According to that latest IGN article, everyone looks a bit different.
 
elephant, i was wondering the same thing but figured if i asked i would be crucified. i have come to the conclusion that it means "if i recall correctly" but i could be very wrong.

edit: nevermind, everyone jumped on that one pretty quick..
 
well... back on the original topic

the people will be different. even the less important characters like these are different. They want that realism. And this actually explains why all the combine soldiers wear masks. They will put a reason into the story, but if you face hundreds of combine soldiers, it would be a pain the ass to make them all different. Solution: put them in masks. Problem solved.
 
fgs no1 made the joke "IIRC IIRC = IIRC, but then again maybe not".

Philistines


Yeah they said they would make everyone a little different, So we can all play "spot the doubled scientist" when the game comes out :)
 
They said they found a way so the game will never use the same 2 set of facial features, so that means millions of combos for faces
 
Like a random face generator, does the engine do this at runtime?

Ah, I remember when this was going to be a feature in Condition Zero :| lol
 
i wonder if the random face generator will ever generate 2 scientists or people with almost the exact set of features and you think they look the same anyway, or does it keep a certain number of things diffrent

It ruins the effect saying 'kidding' so soon after... :laugh:



All the characters may look different, but they're still all the same to me. ****ing pawns...
