HL2: Lost Coast trailer News
PC News by Ellie Gibson
A new trailer for Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast is now available for download from good old Eurofiles.
It might take a while to download at 179MB, and you only get a minute's worth of footage for all that, but what pretty footage it is - the trailer is designed to show off the High-Dynamic Range rendering that's being used in the expansion.
You can read a full preview of Half-Life 2: Lost Coast here.

You see a couple headcrabs crawling on the floor and water on the floor. Its all pretty pointless and dull.
As a needless aside though, thank goodness for sites like this and FileRush that use the BT system for file distros. It's great sticking it to lame, "wait in line" sites like fileplanet and the like. I just feel bad for all those guys who actually paid for file planet accounts.

Personally, I'd rather right-click > save as...
And dont start shouting at me about bandwidth issues... |

i feel conned.
I want my 15 mins of bandwidth back :) I guess we're so used to being blown away, that when something mundane is shown it really says 'meh'! It's all about the gameplay - not how many teraflops on the thingmagig the teraengine can push per unit times10tothepower4. If it plays well, i'll play it. If not then I won't bother. |

" I tried this High Dynamic Range lighting on Far Cry, with my 6800GT...
all it did was to make everything look washed out and bleached...oh and it also halved my frame rate...all in all pretty useless.... " That's just a little bloom effect, not true HDRI lighting. Gametrailer have the trailer up aswell, much smaller and it streams. linked |

Well it does look pretty awesome.
Im looking forward to this! It will be good to the the engine put under some pressure. HL2 is a work of art on every level, running on high and low end machines whilst looking consistently good. Seeing some improvements specifically for high end machines, well - I'm expecting big things :) |

Yeah, great, it simulates the bloom effect that you get when you point a camera at a dark area that borders a much brighter area. Groovy! Photo-realism for life, yo!
Except these games are supposed to simulate the world as seen through someone's eyes, so the effect isn't particularly realistic at all... |

this is gona turn out to be another thing that will annoy the hell out of me.. like lens flair in FPS's.. stuff like this is oky in racing games or 3rd person etc, but FPS's are surposed to show what things look like thou a persons own eyes, and last time i checked i didnt get lens flair or High Dynamic Range lighting in my eyes... maybe on my digial camera, but then when taking photos this stuff is excatally what u want to avoid!.
