Some new screenshots

In the strider screenshot there is a fallen tree on fire. I don't remember if this was in the E3 video, but I don't have it on this computer and am too lazy to download it. Maybe trees can be knocked down now?
 
i havent read through all 22 pages...but i have to say

HOLY BUGGERY BATMAN.

not a freaking jaggy in site!!! even on a freakin chainlink fence!
 
the only thing to beat this awesome pictures is halflife going gone within a week, seeing as it supposed to be bug-free tonay-tonight. lets just hope vivendi doesn;t sit on it and wait till end of september to *try* and get more players to buy it seeing as it won;t do any good since we have been waiting a year. once it goes gold...i am pre-ordering
 
Nice shots! :thumbs:

to all you doubters with the reflection, I think some of thoes objects are not reflected because they're too far back on land.

has anyone noticed that the second pic is from the same location as strider battle in the e3 2k4 vid?

LOOK! I'VE ALREADY ANSWERED THIS THREE TIMES NOW.
 
it is the same location as the strider battle but jus from a diffren angle
 
People that are saying they see jagged edges in the pictures, or that the screens are not that impressive. I would like to bring up an important note. Windows xp and the new internet explorer versions shrink down images to fit to your screen. Set your mouse over the image and enlarge to its normal size. Then you can see the pic in its true glory. =D peace out, hope this changes some of your opinions for the better

Would you care to give post #'s of when you "answered" this?

#217 is the only one that I can see.

Is there even anyone that uses IE these days?

Firefox also resizes images automatically on default :p

Yeah, I know.
But the zoom-button that apperars on the coursor isn't that hard to notice, is it?
 
These new screenshots are amazing.... Valve has really gone all out improving everything from what we saw last year. I love it already!

Only one problem... After looking at those screenshots, if I listen hard I can actually hear my GeForce 4 whimpering in fear. Oh well, can't have everything. Overclocking Time!

Edit: Oh, and may I suggest the HL2.net weapons page is updated with this new hi-res picture of the Colt? It really is a shame to not use that picture as often as possible!
 
I keep thinking people are discussing stuff in the VALVe info thread.. lol
 
The shell casings in the magnum were visible in HL1 also.... they just didn't look as purtiful. Hehe.


edit- Well, this made sense at the time... the quote refuses to show..... please ignore me. :)
 
They said they wouldn't release new stuff in the gphoria vids?!

Oh well, but I'm kind of dissapointed with the highly reflective HEV gloves... how come they're so shiny and not...glossy black?

does anyone else think those teeth on the antlions look reeaaaally goofy and bad?? Makes me think of a Tex Avery cartoon
yes, I do... not only the teeth, but that shot looks so colourful to me that it might just as well have been a cartoon, except that is exquisitly sharp rendering.

As for the shots - been there seen that.
Quite why everyone is getting so worked up over them is puzzling, for they show over-familiar footage in an over-familiar level of quality.
I find HL2's style very attractive, but there are still things I'd like to see improved, the generic placeholder look of distant buildings for one.
That sums it up nicely...

For me, I just downloaded the 600 meg video off FilePlanet, so I'm very much satisfied, at least for a few days.

Awesome screenshots. HL2 just keeps getting better and better. Heh, It it just me, or does the guy in the 2nd screenshot look kind of like Solid Snake?

that 'guy' is actually alyx lol ! (well 95% sure it is, take a closer look i think youll agree). but yea, hl2 just keeps getting better :) although greg i cant help thinking these new teasers are just trying to take our mind off the delays :(
 
It could be Alyx. The person is wearing a beanie and other cold weather clothing. She might have just changed her outfit again.
 
Wonder what res they were taken at?

Now I have to go out and buy a widescreen LCD monitor FFS...HL2 is costing me an arm and a leg. I know I could play at the regular ho-hum res but I really want that widescreen res...to me that is the best thing to come out of these pics (and the atmosphere).
 
Those jeans definitely look like Alyx's, plus the model has a very feminine figure.
 
Yeah, from that angle it could be anyone really. Though the idea of a female NPC engaged in battle wearing actual clothing would be something of a novelty. Most games we could just say "Oh ya.. that's Alyx..... look at the shiny PVC bondage gear."

Perhaps I'm just jaded, hehe.
 
LOL, some of you people are so extreme and analyze every piece of detail just to have something to talk about. Anyways that first picture is amazing, the detail and the .357 magnum, just by looking at that picture you can almost feel the gameplay and movements of the game. Cant wait!
 
Alyx looks bi/multiracial. She's at least half black (from her father, of course), but what is her mother's ethnicity? Have we seen her mother (or a picture of her), yet?

definitely
 
It needs to take up more of the picture to show off as much detail as possible:
 
I love you. Those shots are awesome :bounce: Damn that sunlight... :rolling: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I know this is nitpicking, but the boat could be more detailed. Although, going by what people who've playtested have said so far, these pics are nowhere near the true quality.

I guess we'll see in the CS:S beta.
 
Of course it's Alyx in the ss... If there was a full-on, totally clear photo of a big red apple, next to a sign that said APPLE in the shape of an arrow pointing to it, people would argue that it wasn't an apple :hmph:

Noone (unless its in the leak maybe, I dunno) knew that she fights alonside Gordon, right...? That's why he chose to include that ss...Just my guess.

The engine (or something) gives the illusion of moving in real space, more than any other game I've seen, which is impressive;if HL2 could take an IQ test, it would score higher than any other game ever made, I think. The graphics still look a bit dated, as has been noted by lots of others, elsewhere; but they also look revolutionary-- and it's a weird combo, I think.
