Some screens:


In general it runs smoothly (settings are on the one of the screens), but sometimes slow down a little bit when loading dialogs. Runs better than Sin Smile .

I am so buying this tomorrow! Do I need to have the original HL2 installed to play or is it a stand alone expansion?


May the NFOrce be with you always.

Up to chapter 4 already (I may be rushing it a little, but it's really straight-forward...) and I've noticed a few things. For starters, the graphics are AMAZING - to say the least. There's excellent usage of HDR, and the environments look great too. Alyx's face seems to also have had a redo, and a few other objects/models are polished up. My only disappointment is that it seems more like a movie than a game. It's still quite awesome tho! Buy this one, you'll enjoy it Smile


fear the led zeppelin that was!

It was released hours ago. People have taken only 3hrs going stright through it. I wonder if PROViSION is savoring the game, or just playing straight through.

Hurry up!

First possible fake release: Deviance....

I want to believe,, but Deviance?
I was thinking I was going to be able to make another first Provision thread judging from their Steam history.

Time shall tell

I completed it too. It's a short game but it was damn fun. It seemed to go by quick. I played with commentary on but I wish I didn't now because it spoilt some of the puzzles and I missed some of the dialog. Also the subtitles / captions weren't very good. for example it shouldn't display txt from two sources at one time. So kliner will be giving a big speech but then alyx will say 'good job' or something and it'll just be blank.

1 more thing is some of the commentary didn't have captions either. I think a repositioning of them would have been much better. Also I found that it highlighted a few mistakes and errors, because they were trying to express so much attention to detail.

overall though some of the puzzles were really nice, especially the barrel in the electric water.

end sequence caption thingy (My FPS wasn't that low throughout, it's just a pretty action packed scene at the start and you cant move anyway Razz);

Nice to know a small review. I believe the commentary is better off playing the game 2nd time rather than 1st run. Wink But everyone plays differently.

*still waits for PROViSION*

Commentary is deffo better the second time through because for example (not the exact words) but one commentary track pretty much tells you what's coming up, and why it's there etc. Fair enough that's fine. But what's the fun in telling us a drop ship is going to be destroying the attic when you can experience for yourself after, and then go to a commentary node and hear WHY it was there etc.

I paid for it, and I don't regret it.
Episode 1 was AMAZING. Graphically, gameplay-wise, everything... perfection. Unfortunately, it's short. Sad
lol
Clocked in at about 4 hours, 30 minutes on Hard.

Fantastic, though... can't wait for the second. Very Happy

Here's a question and I think I know the answer.


Has there EVER been a major release that didn't have at least two fakes posted w/i 48 hours of the "actual" scene release?


I'ma thinking, "No."

But could be interesting research for someone (else) to do to pass the time. I'm gonna go eat dinner.
