More Half-Life 2 Teasing

[Apr 21, 2003, 08:45 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Gamer.nl has posted a scan of the cover of PCZone Benelux that, unlike the prior tease (story), leaves little room for even the most skeptical to doubt that the quiet season for Half-Life 2 is ending, and more about the sequel to Valve's game of the year shooter should be forthcoming. There is a write up on this in Dutch on GameZ (source of the scan). Thanks Theo Paijmans. Word is the embargo on the magazine cover shot ended today, and that the embargo on Half-Life 2 details ends next week on April 28.

well, quake3 had materials affecting sound and properties.

Quake 3 had materials triggering sound files.

and dust particles (+particles in general) have been around for ages.

Only to an extent. It's safe to say that, using the newest released games as a benchmark, we have a hell of a long way to go on particle physics.

sparkes on things that strike have been around for a while too.

No, we've just had a little gif or jpg "spark". Not sparks actually being caused, falling to the ground, bouncing, etc.

same with scraping sounds on stuff that slides... i've been sliding barrels for some time now, haha (crates too, etc)

So far, we've only had scraping sounds that are static sound files. e.g.- pushing crate causes a 0.6 second "scrape" sound no matter how far it is pushed.
