Don't crucify me or something but I think she's fugly and doesn't look like from the same game. Original Alyx looks way better despite lower res textures and probably lower poly count.

Pandamobile5722d ago (Edited 5722d ago )

No one's going to crucify you. Any HL2 fan would agree with you 100%.

I don't care how many polygons he can squeeze into that face, it's still not Alyx.

(but holy sh1t, that's detailed. You can see her fricking pores.)

Fake Factory has a huge obsession with Adrian Lima too.

TheBand1t5722d ago

Wow, she's fugly in that pic. And her eyes are all googley.

Pandamobile5722d ago

Yea, that seems to be a problem with almost every character in Cinematic Mod.

He's been doing these mods for like 3 yeas, and he still can't get the eyes right.

dragunrising5722d ago

Alyx doesn't even look like Alyx anymore plus they uglified her. The appeal of the original Alyx seems lost on the creators. I seem to remember her being multiracial...not white. This is not to say that her appeal was in being multiracial but being unique. Why do all females in video games have to be "Anglo-ized." This is coming from a white gamer also.

I would rather have original Alyx with better textures. I thought she looked exotic.

ChickeyCantor5722d ago

I remember cossplayer who looked exactly like her in your picture...
This new model is just meh

Raf1k15722d ago

Wasn't a real model used for Alyx?

Pandamobile5722d ago (Edited 5722d ago )

Yes, all HL2 characters were modeled after real people. (this is the case with just about every game, too.)

I scanned those pages from my Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar book.

ChickeyCantor5722d ago (Edited 5722d ago )

Lol the cossplayer on that very picture i saw looked more like alyx than the actual person they modeled. LOL/

ReservoirDog3165722d ago

Haha, that's cool. I knew they were all based on real people but I never saw it before.

On topic though, the guy who's doing this should just give up already.

This is starting to get really really stupid. I mean WHO THE EFF CARES ABOUT SOME LAME MODELED ALYX. I always hated these kind of mods because modders who makes these always change some character at every new release. Whats the point? So if I want to see Adriana Lima as Alyx should I download earlier versions? Or if I want to see the one that looks like a dead horse (like this) should I download that one? What is the goddamn point. Nothing. They're just trying to be look like creative. But no. They're definitely not. No new worthwhile additions only models change and they starting to get more ugly. What's next? Katie Price look-a-like Alyx?

aGameDeveloper5722d ago

Yes, isn't this about the 8th story about the cinematic mod posted on N4G - each installment just a little different from the next?

qwertyuiopasdfghjkl5722d ago

Alyx face and body modders are now... just pretty much trying to make the hottest video game girl ever...

zagibu5722d ago

The problem is, that the background story doesn't fit such a supermodel character. Some gamers below the age of 14 might think it's cool, but for everyone else, this just destroys immersion.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl34858d ago

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

Levii_929d 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_Brazil8d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

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.

Deeeeznuuuts90d 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

JEECE90d 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.

Relientk7790d 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

Ethereal90d ago

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