Bits & Bobs - Half Life2 Style

Posted by Dev at 14:44 14/5/2003.

A 'Bits & Bobs' with a twist today containing only information related Half-Life 2.

First off today is the news that HL2.Net today opened its doors. At the moment it has pretty much the same things as most HL2 coverage websites do but expect a lot to come from this site. Its design and simplicity make it a nice site to peruse.

Secondly the news that a very accurate and detailed article has appeared on the City17 website, a site dedicated to HL2 coverage. The article discusses the possible graphical downfalls of Valve's new engine. Read it.

As well as all this an unofficial HL2 movie has been released. Fan made and containing no new footage the nicely produced movie is worth the watch if you have a few minutes to spare. Here are the links:

Finally as many of you all ready know E3 is upon us and tomorrow the festivities get underway. However today a few things have trickled out such as some new CS for the Xbox screenshots. For full details and extensive up to date coverage I 100% recommend the gamespy.com coverage. Remember that HL2 and CS:CZ should be on display at the show in some form or another.

That teaser trailer isn't really worth downloading. It's basically the screenshots that were released the other day one after the other with some music over the top. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

sunship - ground up means new engine, but by existing technology they probably mean the ragdoll effects which they bought a licence to but im not sure from which company. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

ragdoll effects are courtesy of the havok physics engine, something i think a lot of future games are going to have. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
