Blue, PC cases are mighty affordable these days, some stock cases just dont cut it(certainly not in the Blue attic).

Good heads up Hump, Maybe Blue will put this in the headlines.

I agree, the H2 is lackluster. Producing a vehicle and slapping a HUMMER badge on it without the four wheel independent suspension is a travesty.

What is the term for this type of behavior?

What is a hypocrite.

Who are now defending a charlatan.

Valve's has had too long of a development time to be 'pimping' anything.

I hate to imagine what you chaps think of Counterstrike.

Steam is 'updating' at least once a day, does it deserve its own headline?

.....could easily become the standard graphics engine.

So you’re saying Valve would license this game engine that is loosely based on Quake technology to another developer?

And let’s say that did happen would that developer force another Steam-ish ware down our throats to play it? Of course hell would be frozen over so it’s really inconsequential.

Powerslide was and is incredible, smooth terrain, crisp graphics etc, used to game on with Heat, anyone remember Heat?

You know when walmart informs you before the developer something is perilously wrong, and the moment you view that as permissible you deserve to be done away with.

I faintly remember matrices from my discrete math class during college years.

So much to read. You spoil us.

cyber cafés

can it render those upside-down head spider things from Doom 3, I would love to get some of that on the grill of a Chevrolet.

Willkommen zu den bluesnews

At the end I would like to say that for me the graphics are quiet important - at the beginning but after some time only the gameplay and the story count.

Agreed, but why settle for two when you can have all the components?

The discussion is what we have seen the 2 engines doing, not what each respective company claims the engine is capable of, or will be in the future.

Well if the past is any foresight into the future, when released HL2 will be the only game we’ll see from Valve for about 6 years. While Gabe took the last year and scaled there source engine to compete with the likes of Far Cry and Doom 3. id released a game that is extremely scalable which beigemore eluded to in post#56 and will probably not reach full stride until the end of 2005 if not longer. It’s no denying that computer specs are holding id’s engine back, and that is an admirable feat.

What year did you fire up the purchased by Valve mod counterstrike and say "wow these graphics are dated"(or something along those lines). Dated to the point where its counter productive to play this game because it may give a developer a false sense into thinking they can release a game with crappy graphics and millions of teens will buy/play it, making them silly rich.

For every year a game gets held back it looses at least two years of its shelf life.

Hl2 will be a dandy game, like many are but will it be able to sustain the the longevity that’s going to be placed upon it? HL1 didn’t.

It was analogous rhetoric intended for you for my own personal amusement, like I said it’s about possessing principle in every nuance of my life I don’t accept misleading from my government and I don’t accept it from companies. You do.

Who has that problem?

I actually think Valve could have released HL2 single player........

Who really knows what they are doing, what you can deduct from the blatant hoodwinking that Valve is pulling is that they are a shady company that mislead their public fan base.
You don’t accept President Bush being mislead and in turn misleading the American public, right? So why would you let some company that hasn’t released a flagship product in well over half a decade get away with misleading you?
Vote Valve out.
Hope is on the way.

Btw, All this speculation makes me ill, look at the facts.

Hl2 proof that some young citizens have no principles.

The juxtaposition of DOOM 3 and the yet to be released Hl2 is unjustifiable.

That’s funny garry I didn’t read Jaenos mentioning anything about not caring about the game, just not caring about a month old recycled footage…

screenshots, movies, interviews, sound bites, etc...

Edit:You should take your anger and direct it towards Valve. You have an issue and I’m sure it began to reach full stride about a year ago when Hl2 was all but promised to you.
