HL2 - Lost Coast Playtest and Tech Details

Posted by Zonk on from the shiiiiny dept.

Wil Harris writes "Bit-tech has been up to Valve's offices in Seattle to play through The Lost Coast, the super-duper add-on level for Half-Life 2. There is an article up talking about the technology behind the level (it's not just HDR!) as well as screenshots from throughout the level, a brief summary of the narrative, and thoughts on Valve's work. There's also a couple of cool photos of the Valve office, including a golden crowbar and Counter-Strike Barbie and Ken dolls."

    Guess it's too bad I don't use Windows anymore. The HL2 was kick-ass, but I'm not going to maintain a PC box just to play it. Sorry, Valve. You got thrown out with the dishwater, I guess.

    Guess it's too bad I don't use electricity anymore. The air conditioning and indoor lighting was kick-ass, but I'm not going to maintain a utility bill just to get out of the 19th century. Sorry, ConEd. You got thrown out with the dishwater, I guess.
