It said my computer didn't meet the recommended specs :(...guess it's time to trade in my P4C 2.8 for something beefier?

Am I the only one who thinks HDR is overrated hype and only makes games look cartoonish and LESS realistic??






















<- bitter because his rig doesn't support it! :p

Goose, it's an extremely short tech demo that more or less looked like the original game to me. Don't go expecting anything special.

I played it. I really don't like HDR that much. The Lost Coast Demo is extemely buggy still and I can't say I really enjoyed it. Blah.

Got two bugs. First time, It crashed as I entered the next room. The second time, I dies, when I was put back into the world There were a bunch of "enemies" that were floating in the air, hands/arms out(like when they design them). They didn't move, and you couldn't kill them or do any damage to them. Definitely bugs.

Yeah, HDR is rather hype-ish...they've been using it WAAAY too much. It's really nice in moderation.


<L---on another pc and still haven't had a chance to fire it up:(

i too noticed this, buy apparently this is a known occurence with the Source engine? i actually posted screens of it in Software, although they're not high-res and my video card pretty much blows.

I noticed the odd looking rocks too, they looked pretty bad.
