Ooooh... D/Ling now.

[EDIT] Looks really good! The tommy gun sounds sweet.

I'll second that. The only thing that even struck me as different were the sounds, and I prefer the current ones.

Tykjen · June 2005

And to be honest, i think whenever PHL mentions dod again, it will be in a nice high res trailer, and not fraps based.

OttoDestruct · June 2005

Its the exact same as the old DoD except a little prettier. Only a little. I don't get whats taking them so long.

Tequila · June 2005

Erm, these videos are absolutely ancient. Valve have already stated in a Steam update they're revamping every map and model properly. It'll look a hell of a lot better than that.

Alcapwn · June 2005

Yeah, i think those vids are pretty damn old....

Tykjen · June 2005

Absolutely ancient is what? Cant be a year right, 2 years? 10? 20??

Besides with fraps, quality sux and its pretty low res on the footage.

Tequila · June 2005

About 6 months ago there was the DoD: Source beta media frenzy. Hundreds of videos of quality similar to that, as well as screenshots were slapped up.

2 weeks ago, Valve made the announcement I spoke of. Every single map is getting the full art pass treatment, similar to some of the CS maps, and every HL1 model is being revamped.

Narfwak · June 2005

I hope the do more to expand the game this time around. I finally saw Saving Private Ryan last week (yeah, I know, I suck at seeing movies), and now I really see what the primary inspiration for most of DoD is. However, I think they could do a whole hell of a lot more with the gameplay using Source than they could with HL1. Stuff like tanks, mines, setting up fortifications, blowing up buildings - just watch the last scene in SPR to see what I mean.

I'm looking forward to it nonetheless, although it's probably not gonna come out until December at this rate.

If anyone can even remember that movie, damn slowpokes.

In addition to the art pass Valve has also stated that DoD:S will ship with HDR.

KGB_Garal · June 2005

Does anyone else think ragdolls look horribly stupid? I loved the sounds though.. can't wait to see what they come out with upon release.

HDR is being opened on everything once its released. That aside the only HDR card I know of is the 600 dollar nVidia I cant remember the name of it, ultra super duper 9999999 omg pwn video card. I don't see the point in spending that much....

True - expect they've added ragdoll stuff.
Which, in all honestly, is extremely simple to do in XSI... and we all know they use(d) XSI on the Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source models.

In technology terms ancient is like 2 years.

I fail to see how that would be anything but a remarkable waste of computing, to be honest. It's not like you'll notice how a man falls down in a crowd of 2000 other men. All I could ask for is a few more death poses, and bodies aligned to the ground (so they don't levitate when lying in slopes).

Anyway, back to DoD:S, I really would've expected it to be out by now. When it comes out, it'd better have some pretty good improvements. If it's just pretty graphics and ragdolls, I'm not gonna be happy.

UltimaGecko · June 2005

Starting up Steam a few days ago they posted one of their "OMG look at DoD!" news posts. Apparently it was their first fully reworked map, and it looked terrible (looked just like dod_flash before...except with higher polied sandbags). The tacky "Cafe" and "Resturaunt" signs didn't really help either...

And does anyone else find the use of wires in avalanche as a "LOOK WHAT SOURCE CAN DO - WIRES!" demonstration? They're all over the place and serve no logical, realistic purpose. They're just a bunch of wires in there for the hell of it.

DuoGodOfDeath · June 2005

DOD:S == DOD I fail to see any difference between these games. Except higher res textures so it looks slighty better.

Nemesis_Zero · June 2005

That's the point, really. Proven gameplay, only better looking.

Don't forget cables crisscrossing the map! Cable, cables EVERYWHERE. You must have 50,000,000 cables in your map, otherwise you're not using Source properly...

CABLES!

MORE CABLES!

DuoGodOfDeath · June 2005

I fail to see this Cable map show me where it is!

Status_Quo · June 2005

There are already animations that make the soldiers fly (the attack property is called "launching", I believe). Those work just fine unless you're watching closely as far as I can tell. When you have the scale of RTW, you don't really need a fancy physics engine that make the soldiers fly exactly like they would in real life, because unless you're busy zooming in on soldiers being killed when you should be zoomed out and prevent them from being killed (or kill more of them, as the case may be), you won't really notice it anyway.
