  Yeah, I love it. This sort of thing is so rare in multiplayer games. I can't wait.

    Did you see actual footage of the game and if so, is this close to the quality within the actual game?

      We saw a trailer; I honestly don't know if that trailer was in-engine or not. If it wasn't in engine it's probably pretty close to the target, since Valve generally doesn't like to release stuff that's too exaggerated visually from what the game will look like. This looked very much like what the trailer looked like. The depth of field stuff may not be in there though, I'm not sure.

        It is faking it. GM uses a simple filter applied by screen height rather than applied to objects specifically. Think of what GM does as more like a filter on a camera lens, with real DOF being more like what it really looks like naturally to change focus on various objects.

        I think that was one of their post-processing effect videos though. Some of their trailers are released in two versions, one with stuff like depth of field and motion blur, and one entirely in-engine.

  Definitely. And it seems to open up the door to all kinds of different looks and variations on that theme. I wonder if the look extends to the game world itself. Looks like it with the stuff in the background.

      Yeah it looks like they took some big cues from The Incredibles.

      "Polished" - oh hell yeah! Lots of attention to detail. And like "The Incredibles", they all fall into the same theme, but yet they all look different from one another. Will certainly be helpful in gameplay I imagine.

    Knowing valve yes the look will also be the gameworld.

  Finally, someone took the style points that go into platformers and put them in a fps
