Owen Brooks
very clean textures
Nolan Ward
Too bad it plays like shit and the ''''''puzzles'''''' are fucking retarded.
Landon Turner
It looked like shitnwhen it came out tho, Doom 3 looked way better
Ryan Peterson
Who are you quoting?
Hudson Allen
Literally the only thing Doom 3 had over it was dynamic lighting, everything else from the textures to models looked far worse.
Juan Price
Doom 3 was btfo'd by HL2 and Far Cry.
Kevin Phillips
Physics was immensely worse too.
Ian Rogers
they keep updating it
Jace Morris
That's a meme
youtu.be
There isn't that big a difference

This
Its clean as shit. Been replaying and its so crisp compared to the blurry shit we have now.
Daniel Phillips
Valve is pretty good about environmental cues and maximizing what they DO have vs didnt. Its more important that a given frame convey info to a player than it look good. glowing eyes draw the player's aim to the combine's head, for example.
HL2 aesthetically doesnt hold up due to super accurate photorealistic grass, it holds up because the graphics tell you what it needs to tell you. nothing more or less
Nathan Perry
the urban environments look great, the highway levels less so
Ayden Price
The facial animations in this game still look incredible.
Isaiah Roberts
what i want to know is how the fuck does HL2 run flawlessly on my shitty old thinkpad but Deus Ex runs like shit
Charles Ortiz
Valve then (idk about now) had legitimately talented programmers. that said, HL2 at launch was buggy cuz it was rushed for Steam launch, but that was ironed out fast. it was glitchy with the launcher, but still well-optimized graphically

Half-Life 2 invented the "walk and follow while listening to dialogue but you can't do anything" that has become a standard of cinematic games.
Chase Howard
Same way Half-Life 2 did, made what you're going to remember the most(faces, models, environments as a cohesive whole) look good before anything else.
Jeremiah King
Owen Watson
It's called dynamic adjustment to player
It detected you're shit and that you're retarded.

That happens 10 times at most during the whole game, and it happens with things you really need to know.
Camden Sanders
man I still think silent hill 3 is one of the best looking games to this day. I love the art direction in the game so much.
Kevin Richardson
You could not have picked a worse screenshot holy fuck Heather looks like a frog here.
Charles Kelly
They understood that technology means nothing if you don't have great art direction to apply it to
