VALVe Update

rANCOR hUNTER · Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 8:54 am Post subject: VALVe Update

We've been pretty quiet about Day of Defeat: Source in the last few weeks. But new information and images from DoD: Source will be made available starting next week, as we lead to its release. We've been steadily working away on this project, and we're excited to see what everyone thinks of what we've produced.
In the coming weeks we'll also be releasing a Source revived version of Half-Life 1: Deathmatch. People who already own Half-Life 1: Source will receive this as a free download.

Next Saturday, Valve's CEO and founder, Gabe Newell, will be giving the commencement speech at Southern Methodist University's Guildhall, a university program offering course work in game design. Two groups of students enrolled in the program will be releasing the Source MODs they produced during their term. More information on the games they've built is available on their websites:

Eclipse: http://students.guildhall.smu.edu/eclipse/
Samurai Legends: http://students.guildhall.smu.edu/samurailegends/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now it's getting exciting!

The minimum specs for HDR are a gig o' RAM and a top of the line gfx card.

So all it really does is dims and brightens the light levels?

Did you also notice how far you can see? You can see like the whole village. There are other videos of it where it shows a lot of the HDR in action.

HDR Vid From FileCloud Here

It really is amazing.

Can it be disabled for people who don't care how pretty the graphics look?

I thought the samurai legends looked cool. I'll probably try that one out.

Last time I checked it wasn't out. Is it now?

EDIT: Nope, it was scheduled for release the same day as Eclipse, but it looks like only Eclipse made the release.
