Half-Life 2 Lost Coast Media

April 26, 2005 4:04 AM

Through Korean publishers GNA-Soft, some new media is now available from the upcoming Half-Life 2: Lost Coast add-on which will add high-dynamic range rendering to the Source engine. We have a few screenshots here as well as a high-res movie on FileShack. Thanks Young su.

    I really hope the bloom whiners will whine about this as well...
    
    That looks like a jaggy overexposed photo... Normally I don't drool over those. :P the rest looks pretty nice though

  It's actually painful to look at. Like my eyes strain to find anything to focus on. Bloom/HDR is the worst trend ever.

  Guys, SS just show different levels of HDR. You obviously wouldn't put it as high as the one SS posted above
