Got Half Life: Source straight from steam, cuz I just got into the valve series with the release of HL2, and I couldn't suffwer through the 1996 or whatever engine, so I got this game, so I could bearably beat HL1 and get plot lines for the second one. I alos bought the orignal HL1 a while ago, couldn't stand the graphics. Supposedly, this HL: Source remastered HL1 with the new Source engine, but it did not do crap. It's exactly the same, with maybe MAYBE a bit enhanced physics, but definitly not graphics. Definitly do not get. Anyone else experiece this problem?
 
do you have any screen shots?

Thats exactly what they did with counter strike though, counter strike 1.6 is the same thing as source, except source has a better engine and graphics.
 
Well CS: source looks amazing, I'm saying that the original Half Life game, apparently redone with the source engine, doesn't even look better. At least CS:S looks amazingly better, I just paid $10 for the same version of Half Life 1.
 
Yes but you should have researched it obviously before making the purchase. I read where the only real upgrades graphics wise was the water supposedly looked better (not Half Life 2 quality) and there was another thing here and there. I must say though if you did not play all the way through the first Half Life because you could not stand the engine then you cannot draw a very good argument against the improvements of the source changes. But your right there is not a tone of improvments. But then again they did not claim there was ;).
 
A $10 game, I wouldn't be complaining lol. So the graphics are old, because it's essentially a remake of the original...still for $10 I'd say you got what you payed for. Now if it was say a $50 purchase I'd be returning it...
 
meh, I guess $10 wasn't a big loss, your right, but Blue, if they are gonna advertise using the source engine, I would take that as advertising better graphics.

Yea I agree its kind of misleading. Although It's a good lesson learned. I always read reviews etc. before I hand over my well earned cash. But luckily it where as already said $10 which in the end is no biggie.

I obtained CS:Condition Zero and it doesn't seem any different than the original CS besides more blood.

I hear ya, although I wasn't expecting much out of it anyway...
 
yer but you cant realy moan because if you was in controll of the company you would be bringing out loads of games based on the same stuff just to make a couple more bob
 
Well basically I don't like the graphics on source. I like cs 1.6 graphics way better. You see the knife on source doesn't slice people as well as 1.6 do. When you hit the secondary button it slice it in different ways in source. and 1.6 is straight knife which I like that one better.
 
You dont like the source engine because of how the knife slices in one game that uses it? 1.6 graphics look like stick figures bunny hopping, and the guns look like sticks.

Hows that even graphic related :confused:
 
Its the samething. You know the knife moves at source and it is different that 1.6 Which the knife is a better view at 1.6
 
I dont really think that is a really valid reson why 1.6 is better.... I mean, thats a gameplay thing, not a gfx. issue.
