I just finished FEAR, reminds me of HL, but it's just way better. I was also a bit dissapointed with HL2. Such a long wait...

HDR is amazing... i love the effect

BTW you can always turn it off so0ooo (all you-low-end-video-card-guys) just dont panic

This is just a demo! You can beat it in five minutes. High requirements or not, I've waited a long time to find out what happened at the end of HL2 and I'm very disappointed.

I can't run it, very silly, hopefully HL2 aftermath doesnt have HDR. :/

Looks very nice in motion. Now that this is out I'm going to make the assumption that Half Life2 : Aftermath will also feature HDR lighting since it is now in the engine.

hmm..yeah yeah very nice but i think it looks good enough without this hd stuff.
How about spendng as much time on improving gameplay, AI and other stuff rather than tweaking the sh1t outa graphics?

Valve has done a good job at implementing HDR, but it seems too artificial. The tone mapping effects to some degree mimic auto-exposure of our irises, but I don't believe the auto-exposure is this dramatic. Not to mention that the sky doesn't suddenly go white washed when you're in a somewhat dark room.

It's a good attempt, but it's main limitation is that it's using SM 2.0 to render HDR, SM2.0 is integer based lighting percision. I'd think Source with HDR might look better on their first showcase of HDR showing the effects on the City 17 rooftop and using SM3.0, floating point lighting percision.

And why does it run on my pc like a pile of s**te? i could max out hl2 and still get 70+fps but this level i struggle to get 30fps.

yea i know it looks pretty nice but i dont see what this hdr is suposed to be doing. :>

not really impressive. some of the lighting was great but overall it just looked like the steam engine, dull and old. not only that they could have improved the plants on the ground....looked like a duke3d texture.

Its not been in dev for over a yr they just released a new tech using the hl2 engine jesus christ you guys are harsh. Its a new tech they are showing off. The level is short becuase its ONLY SHOWING OFF THE NEW LIGHTING TECH. The graphics rock. Thats what it is showing off. THIS = AWESOMEO

I just went outside and saw 3 chavs messing with fireworks so i say to myself "these twats need a good wasting with my mac-10 machine pistol" i went up to one and stated if he did not get the f**k out of here i would waste him with my hollowpoint 9mm ammo
i aimed the gun to his temple and stated that i was discusted at his behaviour and said he was too young to drink booze :P he said "WTF DUDE" so i sprayed my mac 10 at his head and watch it explode. his m8's ran like f**k. so i got my modified colt .45 out and placed 3 bullets in each of their bodies. one to head and two to chest. one was still moving so i slit the bastards throat with an army knife. HE died. the police came and i said the troublmakers were attacking my property and i got a reward. next day their MOMS and DADS came to the door and cos they were lower class and out of it. i popped them with my beretta 92fs. i watched them try and run but i gave them all a headshot. i again got a reward. my point is kill chav's and get a reward. buy firearms to kill lower class people disturbing the peace. thx for reading

wtf

I was expecting you to say THE BEST 5 MINUTES I HAD SINCE SEX YOUR MOM LAST NIGHT or something along those lines... guess not...

They said it would be more like 30 minutes. wrong.
It is exetremely buggy in both graphics and gameplay and other factors. true.
Does it showcase HDR effectively. Yes.
Is HDR implemented well. not really the pupil size fluctuates way too rapidly and the exposure level doesn't calculate properly in certain circ*mstances. Also the cube maps for the weapons are ugly as sin for the most part.

bottom line: BEST GRAPHICS EVER...PERIOD.

Its pretty because it is a tech demo. It took a year because they waited for hardware to run it.
And you expected more because you are an idiot who didnt read into what it was... a tech demo

sry to say but 1year to mak ea 20min lvl kinda sad i was realy disapointed... but damn it look prety!

hl2 is a letdown

at 22:26 28/10/2005

no s**t it sucks. i could have told you that. like it is, just a tech demo. still a major waste of time.

I hate halflife 2 because it just sucks man. Why cant it be more like starcraft or gotham city racing? This is such stupid game and gamplay is so boring. Even I think that Rome Total war is better than this garbage. And for xbox i dont rather play halo than this. Or maybe dead too rights because its alot more action jackson.

10 minute level
totally over hyped
although the HDR looks nice, that's about all it has

over a year to develop, sad.
