I'm sure you've all seen them by now (on Gamer's Hell,
http://www.gamershell.com/news_BHalf-Life2...Bscreens.shtml).
What I've noticed right off the bat about them is that no character has any actual hair, just textures. Where's the real-time fur?...I thought it was supposed to have been implemented by now. I also noticed shadows maps...Which don't look great at all...They're very pixelated...Probably low resolution ones...I know they won't have per-pixel lighting and realistic shadows, but at least blurring them (like in U2 for example) would be nice.
Anywho, apart from that, the game seems great, the facial expressions are great, and the eyes of the characters are very realistic. They really come alive and look human for once (thanks to the little shine in their eyes...Probably some environment map or just a shiny surface). I also love the aliens...It's really a lot like Starship Troopers...I've always wanted to play a FPS game like that. I think the game seems great so far, but I'm still waiting for that real-time hair and fur.
What do you guys think?
