Source still needed full dynamic lighting.
From what I've heard, the entire reason HL2 is being re-released in the first place is because it's getting a HDR overhaul.

HL2 is only getting re-released on the 360 and PS3 right? Well even there that's the first time either of those two consoles is going to see HL2 made specifically for those consoles.

What the *bleep*? They want me to pay for Half-Life 2 again? I already paid like 80 bucks for the collectors edition back when it was released.

re: General Discussion IX :: "Everybody Likes A Snack"

That's still a waste. I don't need Half-Life 2 again, I just want Episode 2, TFC2, and Portal.

I absolutely love BioShock, I can already tell it's going to be one of my most favorite games of all time. I have nothing but praises for it. It still surprises me how well this game was designed. Also, the AI and respawning enemies is so well done, it's like every respawning enemy was scripted in such a perfect way it makes re-entering old areas and such just as cinematic and epic as the first time through.

Oh and playing in pitch black with headphones in the Medical area, priceless. Truly amazing, this game isn't scary but it is SO jumpy. I jumped pretty hardcore at one time in particular.

Spoiler: Spoiler
Highlight this box with your cursor to read the spoiler text.
When you first get the shotgun the lights go out and I backed myself into a corner waiting for something to happen, the lights come back on and I'm still frantically searching the area for splicers, then suddenly i turn to my right and there's a bitch right there. It all happened so quick, I *bleep*ing loved it.
Then there's the awesome part in the dentist office with the gas filling your screen, the time the dentist appears RIGHT behind you all creepy stare like ready to kick your ass was so tense! Before i blasted him with 3 quick shots of the pistol to kill him, more panic shots than any real good shots.

Mass Effect, Too Human, PGR4, exclusive GTA content... and that's just in the near future. You're stupid if you think Microsoft will follow up this holiday season's remarkable lineup with nothing next year.

Standards are getting higher for games. 360 is still stuck on DVD which can have up to 9GB. We've already had a scare of disc space with PGR4 which means the limit is nearing. 360 games may still be good in a years time, but PS3 games always have the opportunity to be better because there's so much more space on a Blu Ray disc.


The first level in Killzone 2 is next to 2GB in size. So a game of that quality on the 360 could only manage about 4 times that.


Anyway, I'll probably send my 360 in when my Live runs out in Jan because it's very noisy. And I still haven't managed to get BioShock yet, it's getting ever so difficult to avoid spoilers. I'm gunna get some quality headphones for it too. One: because from what volacide says gaming is better with headphones and. Two: my 360 is noisy as hell and if I'm not going to be talking over XBL all I will hear is this piece of poo Xbox.

The quality of a game is in no way associated with the size it requires on a disc. Sure, a ton more disc space would be great... but the trade off was we got the console a year earlier, got a lot of third party support and it's a lot cheaper.

And if games have to ship on multiple DVD's, so be it. The greatest game ever (MGS1) shipped on multiple discs. Yes, it's an inconvenience but hey, I'd rather have a robust library of AAA titles than more disc space for games that aren't really worth playing.

re: General Discussion IX :: "Everybody Likes A Snack"

The argument that PS3 has no games worth playing is getting a little old and samey. The PS3 has got off to a rocky start. I mean Resistance is fun but I wouldn't buy it. But things like Killzone 2, MGS4 (obviously) and Warhawk look amazing and very enjoyable. And there are obviously all of the multi-platform games too and PS3 exclusives that will surely come to the table.


I'm still a 360 fan at heart but I'm not going to let that fool me into thinking the PS3 isn't a solid product with potential for a solid gaming library, it's already showing us some great things.

You're just mad because you can't team kill shit, my guest was even beatin' that ass.

Um, I don't know if you were too busy fapping to yaoi but I teamkilled you a helluva lot and Verdant quite a bit too. It's just you two only teamkilled me when you knew I wanted to play seriously. Go through that hole under a fence back to Mexico.
I know Verdant was teamkilling a lot but the only time you even came close to a teamkill was when you downed Verdant, then I popped your head off and revived him.

And I like it how you think I am Mexican because of a lame joke xtremepokemontrainer came up with when I'm not even 1% made up of that race.

re: General Discussion IX :: "Everybody Likes A Snack"

Haha you didn't deny fapping to yaoi.


Anyway. I teamkilled you and Verdant each at LEAST half as much as you both killed me. I remember shotgunning you both to death about a dozen times. You should really get your facts straight.


And you look Mexican.

When the *bleep* did you see me to say I look Mexican?

And if anything, you teamkilled us only once. That was it.
