Why do I think Half Life 2 looks good?
Art style?
Presentation?
It's from 2004, and when I watch videos of people playing the game I think "This game still visually looks great"
Why?
>>343489284
It's a visually clean and sharp game. Just models, textures and lighting without any retarded post processing effects and saturation
>>343489284
It's the art direction and engine working hand in hand. Look at Dishonored, same Art Director and it has the same feeling of quality without being a technical powerhouse.
>>343489284
DUDE 10 FEET HIGH DOORS LMAO
It's got a decent lighting engine and the textures are consistent and well-mapped, as well as a consistent art stylem It's the same reason why Bungie games always look so good.

Bungie's Halo games had such a clean art style. 343 ruined it.
>>343493072
No, I mean, what are you talking about?
>>343493086
holy fuck
>>343490754
Damn, I knew there was something similar about those two games, but I just couldn't think of it
>>343493173
hahahahaahaaaaaaaa
lack of shaders probably
>>343493086
>modeled up to the cervix
For what purpose
>>343493173
Ignore the autism anon.

Welcome to the FakeFactory Cinematic Mod.

This. Source engine games have a very clean look, even newer ones like CS:GO and DOTA2 aren't laden down with dozens of unnecessary shaders and effects.
HL2 looked better before the update to Orange Box Source, though- you could still enable lossless textures back then.
Subtle geometry and art direction
>>343493398
It's hard to, seeing as it's summer and the autism is everywhere.
>>343493415
Oh, okay, that makes more sense.
>>343489284
Great art direction and textures.
>>343493536
Forget vaginas, ferns are the most fuckable things ever.
Viktor Antonov is pretty dope.
>>343489284
It's thanks to based Viktor Antonov and the Source engine
>>343493160
Not him but I sorta dig the HD Metroid Prime art. Armor is terrible though.
>>343489284
it doesnt, it looks terrible.
but it feels like a believable, organic, natural world, so i ignore the looks.
The game has had a lot of updates since it first released that keep it from looking too dated. Just compare the engine updates in episode 2 to hl2 when it first released.

Do you guys think Half Life 3's graphics will age just was well?
>>343496098
Needs to come out first. It's actually not even funny when you think about how long it's been.Why is Godzilla so sad?
>>343496441
At this point, it would feel like a joke if they actually announced it.He's just patiently waiting for Half Life 3.
>>343496841
Honestly, it would probably flop critically due to the ridiculous hype culture behind it.Boy can cheer the fuck. Mandem looks menacing in the film coming out this year.
>>343497043I know. I'm hyped. Toho ftw.
>>343489284
Character animations are one thing. It's the faces man.
>>343497238I'm curious as to the mind fuckery Anno will do with full on Kaiju as opposed to just Angels like in Eva.
