<div class="IPBDescription">if someone gives me 600MB hosting</div>Yes I started a new topic to say this to get attention. Mods feel free to lock this but at least wait a few hours so peeps can see it. Thanks.

Gamespot just released for paying subscribers (for this month, me) in 2 seperate files the Half-Life 2 E3 demonstration that Gamespy released yesterday in the 600mb version, only Gamespot's videos are about twice as good video quality, in both sharpness of the picture and of better (less washed out) colors.

First ZIP is 313.2 MB, the second is 260.0 MB.

Whoever has a fast site that they want to mirror this video for the NS Community (these forums & off topic on irc), pm me login info and i'll upload it. It'll take awhile due to my 40k a second cap, but you can't get these w/o being a paying subscriber, and I'm just generous and everything. :)

Here is a quality comparrison between the two videos so you'll know what to expect:

    As you can see, the Gamespot one completely pwns the Gamespy one, and is about the same file size.

    Hmm. Looks like the GameSpot one was shot at a different time, too. (Look at the blast decals.)

    How is the audio clarity? Better than GameSpy's?

    Nice observation. I have yet to see either of these. I guess it's an all night Bit Torrenting for me.

    Valve was Playdemo'ing the E3 demos (gamespy video had them typing into the console), so I'd chock the difference in decals up to 1) slight camera angle 2) slightly different due to client side prediction

    It can't be 1, the decals are too differently placed. And yes, I was assuming that the demo didn't save decal positions. That's why I said they were shot at different times. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Audio is a little more "stuffy" but also has more of a bass sound to it than the gamespy one. I'm not a big audio buff so I can't really phrase it well. Its slightly less, but the improvement in video more than makes up for it.

    And no, nobody has volunteered to host yet... :(

    I've taken up a lot with my mp3 collection, so it'll be a **** to have to clear it all out again. But if you guys are really desperate, I could try for the 200 meg one.

    you better make sure you're able to legally mirror it, apparently fileplanet are getting their lawyers to hunt down sites that are illegally mirroring their HL2 clip :\

    That's entirely Gamespot's clip, Gamespy can't do jack.

    If it's legal, I'll host it on my mirror. But not unless we can confirm I'm allowed to do so.
  • JediYoshiJediYoshi The Cupcake Boss Join Date: 2002-05-27 Member: 674Members
    I doubt it, I'm guessing alot of people actually sign up for the website during E3 for those exact videos. They'd be loosing out somewhat.

    Yeah, doomeh. You can't give something to someone for free that you payed for (while you still have a copy, that is) and expect it to be legal <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But, like Marik said. As long as the links aren't posted here...well that's nothing illegal!
