New screens from infamous HL2 texture mod

Cinematic Mod 8 nears completion, and so PCGH shows some screens from the final version of the texture modification. While one may praise the texture detail (look at the skin), others may complain that the original Alyx is somehow unique (although a HD version of the original model can be used as well).

When she's side on, they look like goddamn spikes. They ruined it, forever :<

Wonder what that is.

No it's just the pieces of unseamed plastic where her bust wasn't properly tempered.

Plastic looks aren't cool, and Alyx looked a lot more original for a female charcter. She was the predecessor to Faith in Mirrors Edge.

It's really well done and impressive , but i thought the goal was hi res texture ... not turning everyone even the old scientits into fashion models ?

Mc Fadge6147d ago

Your spelling mistake is VERY appropriate for such an article :3

Mc Fadge6147d ago

They've ruined her attractive features, can't believe they went in that direction. Some of the areas they need fixing up haven't been touched either, very sad indeed :<

Well, we now know that something can look both impressive and terrible at the same time.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_923d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

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.

Deeeeznuuuts84d ago

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

JEECE84d 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.

Relientk7784d 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

Ethereal84d ago

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