The team did have some financial help in the form of sponsorships from EVGA, Nvidia and Origin PC.
The mod’s original version added high dynamic lighting to the game but the group working on the project expanded and made improvements to all graphical features. The project has been in the works since 2009, so this release has been on the way for quite some time.
This will be the final, finished version of Half-Life 2: Update, which has been available outside of the Steam store for some time now. The Valve approved fan-made effort does what you would expect, it updates Half-Life 2, bringing better lighting, effects, textures and some bug fixes to the classic shooter. Play Update, or even go with MMod with the settings tweaked to make it play closer to Vanilla.A new mod for Half-Life 2, titled ‘Half-Life 2: Update’, is heading over to Steam tomorrow. It's certainly worth a playthrough as a fascinating delve into the psyche of its incredibly horny middle-aged German creator, but it is not Half-Life 2. And he added a bedroom for Alyx with a big fat purple dildo you can pick up and throw at her Dad. Yes, these are optional, but it's worth considering that FF's priorities lay mostly with creating 36 Alyx variants rather than preserving any of HL2's atmosphere, environmental design, developer intention etc. It's not bad music - Hans Zimmer is successful for a reason - but it's not Half-Life 2's music!Īlso, it seems that to some extent the mod is just an excuse for FF to make 3D models of his favourite Brazilian models in like, DAZ studio or something. It removes the entire iconic original soundtrack by Kelly Bailey and replaces it with music from the Dark Knight Trilogy. He puts porn graffiti on every surface he can find and replaces the game's iconic posters ('born', 'NULL', etc.) with random photoshopped together scans of Russian concert posters and newspapers and things. All of Valve's efforts to carefully direct the player with deliberate lighting variation and details in the world are completely nullified in favour of scattering huge numbers of 3D models that FF mostly borrowed from other games. City 17, which is supposed to be mostly low-rise buildings to allow the Citadel to completely dominate the sky line, is instead filled with random destroyed tall building meshes from the Metro series. Areas which are supposed to be bleak and bare with dead trees to demonstrate the Combine's effect on Earth are instead filled with endless copies of lush trees. 'stuff' in each scene than HL2, it completely destroys the original game's environmental design. While Fakefactory certainly put a lot of time into it, and it does have more. Please do not play Half-Life 2 for the first time with Cinematic Mod.
I know it's been a month but I just stumbled upon this thread.
