so, half life VR, what about it?
The HL community is in a civil war rn
i was told that VR was dead.
that viretual reality was a meme and not buy into it
but i did anyways. who is giggling now?
To be completely honest, I am more pissed at the toxic VR spergs
Not everyone is able to afford that amount of expensive equipment for 1 game
I mean I am not saying it shouldn't be VR but I did see this coming
2 years from this in fact
And from the very day Valve invested in the VR industry
indeed
It was obvious that they needed to push VR, because they knew that VR wouldn't sell well
So, they used their highest grade card and the strongest community
The Half Life community
They knew that they are the most die hard fans and would totally buy that shit
They technically used us
I mean I am happy
But it's sad that I'll never be able to play it
Unless I get rich somehow
It'll get ported back into Ep2 or GMod or some shit. Talk of a flat debug mode, a hypothetical at the moment but it makes sense that the devs would have such a thing.
the game going to be in sorce 2
@Nat
> compare the tree texture and model
And? Apple v Orange. It's like saying Picasso is worse than Michelangelo because his paintings were less realistic.
a-
are you joking
are you actually retarded
look at it, it's a fucking LOD model
look at it, it's a fucking LOD model
fucking discord is being slow
@Nat Only if you are able to explain why.
here you go friend, this is how LOD works
Stop speaking geek.
the further you get away from an object in a videogame, the less detailed it gets 🙂
because if every object in the game world had the highest detail version, your computer most likely couldn't handle it. 🙂
the further away objects, when looked at up close, look terrible. like that tree does.
> Nat used confusion
> it's super effective
less polygons, less pixels in the texture
you can stylise and look cartoony, but even stylised and cartoony games have LOD models, which again, look worse than the models that are up close. 🙂
does your feminoid brain comprehend it yet, fish market? 🙂

Like, I get it that stuff that's closer to the player requires a better resolution, but how does that come into play?
