yeah, writing on the glass using permanent markers was fun for like 5 minutes
>>729000306why would you do it for more than 5 minutes
>>729000306I spent longer than I care to admit just dicking around with the bottle shaders in the distillery.
>>729000381that was another cool gimmick>>729000374leaving antisemitic messages everywhere I go
>>729000274No game has ever simulated the experience of being in a residential district of an average russian city as well as Alyx.
>>729000274>next Half-Life
>>729000274reminder
>>729000452
>>729000274We know the next Half-Life game will be using significantly improved baked lighting, mesh shaders, and ray tracing for its max settings.
>>729000401haha
HL2 required a Steam install and online DRM verification before you could play the game.What innovations in digital rights management will HL3 bring to the game?
>>729000485optimistic at best. You aren't running this on a 1060, a card that can barely even boot into SteamVR itself.
>>729000401INFRAthat's kind of cheating though since it's still Source
>>729000274meaningless without modern technologies like lumen and nanite
>>729000498>>729000274this runs maxed on an rtx 2060 + 144hz dual monitor vr headset
>>729001389a 1060 is more than enough to play any non vibe-coded vr game, I would know since I played using it just fine
>>729002219I had a 1060 in my old build, could barely run any VR titles at all even on low it was poor
>>729000274>>729000498looks way too plasticky
>>729004178show me game lighting that doesn't look "plasticky"
>>729004902FearKCDHitman WOA Metro exodus MGS 5 GZ
>>729005278>
>>729000498It will either be a barebones game to run on the low hardware gabecube or it will be after its lifespan (minimum 4yrs). Or, it won't release. Like it hasn't in the last 20 years.
>>729000498Looks like we're gonna need the AI disclaimer on this one, boys!
>>729000401idkRunning around in Pripyat in the Stalker games does a good enough job
>>729000495>we've already failed repeatedlyhow reassuring
>>729005347Show me the plastic lighting the games i mentioned
>>729000274it looks like shit in vr btw because the pixels are right in front of your facebut nobody will tell you about it because buy the thing
>>729005587more rubbery than plasticky but it certainly doesn't pass for realism
>>729000274The power of prebaked lighting.
>>729000495idgafalyx was reddit cringe with outdated gameplay made for the lowest common denominator, laidlaw left, and the times have changed
>>729000274photoscanned assets? never seen that before
>>729005739>tries to pick up a lamp
>>729005721It's fine for 2015
>>729006319you can combine dynamic lights with prebaked ligting
>>729001389i played it on a 1050ti and 8gb
>>729000274Alyx was a really, really cool game to play. But now I just want to see what Valve does for tech and mechanics and interactions in a normal game.
>>729001389I played this on a 1060 and a quest 2. its playable but I had to turn down the quality to medium.
>>729007339*brains explode*
>>729008964>valve>does>game
>>729009124
>>729009537nice graveyard
>>729007113reminder that HL:A is already 6 years old too
>>729000498>significantly improved baked lightingHow do you improve baked lighting though?
>>729001389I used to play Boneworks on a Laptop with a 1060 and an i7.It's possible.
>>729000914It'll be the push for hardware this time. Too bad the RAM thing is fucking them up atm.
>>729001389I've heard people play Alyx on cards WORSE than a 1060, and with 8GB of RAMNow remember Alyx is a VR game which have around 4x the requirements of normal flatscreen gamesHL3 is gonna look fantastic and run on computers which ran HL2 back in the day. It's amazing what a company that knows basic fucking optimization instead of doing shitty Unreal Engine slop can do with games
>>729012498>I've heard people play Alyx on cards WORSE than a 1060, and with 8GB of RAMyeah, on low at sub-90fps
>>729012568>on low at sub-90fpsI fucking hate you zoomniggersThere is no fucking difference between 60fps and 90fps. The human mind cannot distinguish it
>>729012637Retard, in VR that shit REALLY matters. Don't reply to me ever again with your braindead takes.
I think they did a good job with the assets and the game itself, just wish I had the room and means for a good VR setup so that I can fuck around more in it. The new headset should be fun at least.
>>729001389I played Alyx on a 1660 super but the performance tanked after the midpoint to the point where it was too choppy.
>>729000274>imagine the next tech demo...Nah.
>>729012637don't talk about things you've got no clue about
