NVIDIA добавила поддержку DLSS 5 Neural Rendering в Portal with RTX и демоверсию Half-Life 2 RTX. Теперь в обеих играх можно активировать 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, благодаря чему новейшая технология рендеринга NVIDIA появилась ещё в двух классических проектах. Представитель NVI

Like many people, I'm a big fan of quickfire submarine horror adventure Iron Lung . Yet despite receiving rave reviews and spawning a film adaptation by Markiplier, surprisingly few games have picked up its baton of vehicular terror. There are other submarine horror games like Ba
The cult classic Half-Life 2 mod series Entropy: Zero has another entry in the works, and speaking as a fan of Thief, Deus Ex, and all things immersive sim, Entropy: Zero 2 - Progenitors may be the most exciting one yet... Read more.
It's been established that Doom can run on produce , but porting wizardry doesn't start and end with blasting cacodemons on increasingly ludicrous hardware setups. It's sometimes the simple things that stick out most, like this web browser port of Half-Life 2 . Not as silly as po
Stop it. Stop trying to make him do it. He won't. He will not do it. He's been very clear with you. Yes, you, seemingly random commenter who's suggested that making Half-Life 3 would be a piece of cake. Former Valve writer Chet Faliszek doesn't reckon it would be. The mythical se
Chet Faliszek opens the above video by explaining, "This is not saying that something's happening, not trying to allude to anything. I'm going to talk about some stuff from like 10-plus years ago. I'm not trying to say anything . OK?" Because if you were a writer on Half-Life 2's
YouTuber Ocelot , who specializes in videos comparing different versions of games like Silent Hill 3 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica , recently took to analyzing different versions of Half-Life 2. Valve's FPS may not seem as fruitful a topic for dissection, but there are more di
Like many people at companies preoccupied with discovering the next "goose that lays the golden egg" , Half-Life 2 and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has been "poking around" with generative AI. He and a small team at Valve have been testing out different applications, in what Wolpaw
Hope springs eternal, and there's no better evidence of that than the members of subreddit r/Halflife , who have been waiting all year for the announcement of Half-Life 3, or Half-Life X, or whatever the next Half-Life game will be called... Read more.
One of the coolest things about Half-Life 2 is its physics engine, but as anyone who has played a physics-based game will know, even the best-in-class tech is prone to quirks here and there. Valve's legendary narrative shooter was no exception, as former Valve developer Tom Forsy
Half-Life 3 fever has once again broken out across social media, and the Half-Life subreddit is full of both earnestly hopeful and sarcastically dismissive posts about the supposedly imminent announcement of a sequel to Valve's landmark 2004 shooter—probably the most speculated-a
fter two decades of Half-Life 3 rumors , each new burst of hope looks a lot like Charlie Brown once again getting set to kick a football. None of the suspicious lines of CS:GO code or yarn-webbed conspiracy board YouTube videos have actually preceded an announcement of the fabled
Last year, Valve brought the original development team back together for a 20th anniversary Half-Life 2 update . It integrated the post-launch episodes, added a new developer commentary track, brought in Steam Workshop support, and added a heap of map and gameplay updates. All of
Restored speed of the train near the end of Highway 17 to better match the original shipped difficulty. Fixed missing collision that was allowing NPCs to shoot through some walls in Entanglement. Fixed issue where Alyx could obstruct the player's path when boarding the teleporter
If Half-Life is one of the most influential videogame series in history, it's not only because of Valve, Gordon Freeman, and the actual FPS games themselves. Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are nexus points for a whole generation of PC classics. Counter-Strike began as a Half-Life mod,
It is the year 2025 and everything is a roguelite now. Even the games of yesteryear are getting randomizers and procedural generation shoehorned in, and Half-Life 2 isn't escaping either. Good thing that SourceWorld is pretty dang fun, if its newly released Next Fest demo is any
How many times have you completed Half-Life 2 ? In the 21 years (yeesh) since Valve's genre-changing FPS game was first released, I'd speculate that I've destroyed the Citadel, escaped City 17, and launched the rocket from White Forest on no fewer than 30 occasions. Maybe that sa
new episode of Netflix's Love, Death and Robots is based on a short story written back in the 80s by former Valve writer and now professional retiree Marc Laidlaw . Laidlaw left Valve in 2016 but, in a new interview with IGN , wonders whether "I retired too hard.".. Read more.
