Half-Life 2 even better: New screens of texture mod

The infamous texture mod for HL2, Cinematic Mod 8, is becoming a major overhaul with Beta 3. New screens that show the improvements have appeared on PCGHx.com. The civilians and resistance fighter look brillant now, and there is word of a "more unsexy model of Alyx".

Don't download this mod and stop supporting this guy. -_-

The creator is a whiny kid who keeps on stealing other content from other modelers, mappers, skinners etc. He also can't take critism well and most of the community actually hates him, he also makes textures, skins etc way too big which increases the file size and theres also the fact that the Source engine can resize textures so no need for insanely big textures or skins for that matter.

This is very true. He steals work, and then if you even attempt to point out a flaw, he'll throw a fit and say he's done modeling for life.

No offense but it still looks like crap.

Madbrain6173d ago

thanks but I still prefer the original graphics

The original Alex isn't very attractive, unless you like flat chested women that dress like a guy.

I prefer the original models. These just looks creepy some how.

One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.

Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor

JEECE69d ago

Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.

And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.

Relientk7769d ago

So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3

Ethereal69d ago

Damn... Dishonored has such amazing art. RIP.

How many times have we played this game? They know any time they release it will the perfect time. But it's unlikely to be now. That's too simple. And they don't need that push right now.

Do we want Episode 3, or Half-Life 3?

anast157d ago

They can't do it. According to some articles, a janitor went 'Good Will Hunting' to save the entire company from collapsing because of this game.
