Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile

Yeah, curious to see the reviews first, the promotion second and the sales next. If it turns out to be a middling or mediocre game, we can't complain if it doesn't sell. And if it has no promotion and is left to die, like numerous other games, you can't make any assumptions either.
It's looking better. I'd say that HV have acheived 360 looking enemy models and a decent control scheme. With PS2 environments and linear looking levels.
Well I just watched the footage on gametrailers and it looks much better. IGN conduit videos always seem distorted.

They like nice and flashy in motion, though, so during play it looks like it'll look fine, but when you actually have time to look at how boringa ndugly they are (and take a closer look at the enviroments) then it looks ugly.
I think that the character models are the best looking thing about the game. The environments are nothing special at all. In motion everything does move quite fast so you wont notice. I've noticed though that the animation of humans looks weird, like its missing frames, while you dont notice so much with the aliens.
Foolz said:Nah, they look good technically, which is why they look fine in motion to me, it's just that I don't like the style of them, but it doesn't matter whne you're shooting the crap out of them.
Do you like the aliens in the Halo games?

Not really, but I never paid them much attention as I didn't peruse Halo screenshots before Halo's release, I just shot the bastards.
I probably like the style a little bettter as it's smoother, but overall meh again. They looked fine in motion, of course.

I've always preferred shooting humans in FPS games. I know that sounds wrong, but I prefer a modern setting rather than this past/future stuff.
To be honest I didn't mind what I was shooting in half-life as for the first half I was always thankful whent here was something---anything---to shoot.

How are you getting on with half life 2?
Rambling ftw. I'll try and give you something more coherent when I write a review!

The anti-aliasing is non-existant. It's jaggy as hell. Not that it will stop me from getting it. But you asked.

Have you seen the gametrailers videos? I can't really tell.
So far this game is getting pretty decent previews, it has tech pushing graphics and infinetely customisable controls. Otherwise it looks fairly linear but previews and videos seem to suggest a fairly frantic pace. It looks like it't going to have satisfying combat but few new ideas.
I guess people are anticipating it because a 3rd party is actually trying and because the control scheme for Wii FPS works so well. The game has 16 player online and supports wii speak and lobbies.
