Yeah, you're right. But also, doom 3 looks like plastic, and even you have to admit that.

And I was just foolin about anyhow.

I still don't see how people get plastic, but I don't criticize them for it. The only thing I hate is when people say it looks bad, because it doesn't. *cough*SAJN*cough*

Granted, I think it looks "cool" but I don't think it looks nearly as "real" as HL2.

Of course not. Because it wasn't meant to depict total reality, it was meant to look really damn good. Just like UT2k4 looks amazingly awesome, but not realistic in any way.

Besides that, Carmack didn't put radiosity into it, which factors heavily into the realism.

i'd kill for one of those.
2005-01-02, 5:41 PM #51
You'd kill for a fake Katana.... riiiiiight.

Maybe a real one.. :) Actually, definately. If I didn't like the person. . If I liked them it would have to be two.

Maybe you're right. Damn, I'm getting cynical in my old age.

[edit: Is it me, or is that Katana modelled off of the Hattori Hanzo sword in Kill Bill? I saw one of those in "Forbidden Planet" in Covent Garden the other day.]

I actually thought the farcry was funnier ; ;

Let's have a look-see at them screenies of those upcomming games thar...
  • Half-Life 3: My, Freeman's crowbar has gotten rusty... Anyway, Although I must comend the actual use of AA in a screenshot (and some pretty good stuff as well, I also see very high polygon counts, and some very nice use of shaders, and excelent texture filtering; Is that shader model 3.0 I see in use? However, I must say that the texture detail level leaves a bit to be desired.
  • Doom 4: Well, I see that they're making an improvement over Doom3, as I can actually see something in the screenshot; perhaps it's just an error, though. Although, oddly enough, I'd swear that Carmack just stole Half-Life3 and "Doom-ified" is.
  • Far Cry 2:Graphics look impressive, and I never really minded the series' washed-out appearance, given that I play ONS-TORLAN so much. However, I'm scratching my head: why would you suddenly go from a tropical island setting to the middle of suburbia, wielding a crowbar?
  • Dai-Katana 2: Oh no, please not another one. Although I might be willing to forgive John Romero for the first one, (as is evidenced by the fact he's not hanging from the wall by his entrails) The forgivness only extends so far. Even the setting I see is a bad idea for a game, even if that's one of the best-looking weapons I've seen in quite a while; I'd say the detail level is nearly as good as what's seen for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Of course, Oblivion will have the katanas, without the suckiness, so I say move along, move along.
