PC Games Hardware published pictures of a new HD Alyx model of Fakefactory's Cinematic Mod 10. It seems like the modder reacts to the harsh critique that followed the shots published the day before yesterday (as reported on N4G) and replaces the Adriana Lima like Alyx with a better version that looks like the real Alyx again. This new model is based on the actress Jamil Mullen who had been the original real-life model for Alyx during the development of Half-Life 2.
Half-Life 2 art director and Dishonored designer Viktor Antonov has died aged just 52.
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
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.
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
After celebrating the 20th anniversary, Half-Life 2 reached top 5 on the Steam Deck Top Played list. It's also on a 90% sale.
TNS: "The valid reasons that Valve have given for shunning Half-Life 2: Episode Three are sounding increasingly less compelling."
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.
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.
Much, much better.
A - Alyx wanker fanboys need to grow up, get girlfriends/wives and call it a day.
B - The more versions of Alyx / Half-Life I see, the worse they look for some reason. (Look at the pic above, does that really appeal to you? I can't speak for everyone, but the original appeal of Alyx was that she was smart and sexy, not in a Lara Croft way, but more in a really hot neighbor kind of way. And she is not a skank, so the shrinking clothes make her less appealing).
C - None will ever be as good as the original, so please stop with the mods and work on something new and creative.
-End Rant.
People are really desperate for a woman. I mean jesus! Its just a video game nothing more. Stop smacking your meat to a fake woman alright!!!
In Half-Life,Alyx appears to be of a mixed race. In the picture above, she looks....white. Actually, the FIRST picture got the mixed race thing right but failed because the character didn't look like Alyx. The most current picture has tried to replicate the facial structure but is missing key elements that makes Alyx look like Alyx....further more, features that make Alyx looked "mixed". But I think most people forgetting the point of the whole subject in general.(Note: I'm not referring to this thread) The reason Alyx was "made over" in general was to showcase Fakefactory's Cinematic Mod 10. From a graphical/technical standpoint I think its excellent.
This was already reported a few days ago http://www.n4g.com/pc/News-... But seriously I cant wait for the Cinematic mod 10. I wont be using that alyx model. But I hope he does do a high res version of the original alyx just to match the rest of his high res pack.
