L4D2 New Trailer Leaked

[Jack Riguel]

One of the dream jobs I'd love to have after coming out of film school is to work on a creative team. Apple's got the most known one, but most all companies have something similar to do their advertisements, commercials and whatnot. Valve is one of the ones that I'd love to be a part of.

This trailer actually gives the characters... some character.

Awesome.

 

[The Political Gamer]

:O That was fucking amazing!!!

 

[eerieone]

and all special infected attack the red-neckish young guy (whatever his name is) ^^

 

[Penguin]

That was extremely meh. Ony good part was the bombing run.

 

[Vander]

You guys should come talk about it over on L4DMaps.net.

*nudge nudge*

 

[The Political Gamer]

Vander the sales man. I like it.

If only all those effects were actually in the game..

Those effects ARE in-game. It's the same with all valve games. Understandably you can't perform some of the more interactive gestures, and there aren't as many "pause in awe" moments either, but it's pretty much that. After all, most of the stuff you won't see in-game are the extreme close-ups, but otherwise it's all good. Anyway, freaking awesome trailer, pre-ordering right now. Okay, in five minutes, but that's all!

You're trying to tell me that the smoker's tongue is now a dynamic model rather than a particle effect? That those high res high poly models are used ingame and not for cinematic sequences? That players are acutally ragdolled during the bombing sequence against those cars, rather than what any intelligent individual would presume was a scripted animation for a cinematic.

Yeah he is. except I'm pretty sure the player models are the same, just with a first LOD distance of about 2 foot.
The new smoker may well have a better tongue model, the original was pretty dire.

But being thrown against cars etc... if only and seeing the bridge explode like that... makes me wonder if its actually in the game or just in one of their movies.. D: the bridge looked so awesome in the screenshots!

Except its really bad compared..

Well, the bridge does explode, but obviously things like handing each other guns and removing the smoker tongues would suck balls in-game, so of course they don't actually have THAT. What I meant was the quality of the animation, character models and the between-character conversations (although a little less predominant)

 

[Caliostro]

That those high res high poly models are used ingame and not for cinematic sequences?

Stick this in your autoexec.cfg (if you don't have one, put it in your team fortress 2\tf\cfg)

mat_aaquality 8

mat_picmip -10

mp_usehwmmodels 1

mp_usehwmvcds 1

cl_new_impact_effects 1


In other words: yes, you can play with the high res models in Valve games. But it's heavy on the graphics.

 

[Smashman]

mat_picmip -10 doesn't work unless cheats are on.

mat_picmip 0 is the closest you can get I believe.

mat_picmip 0 is the closest you can get I believe.

mat_picmip -3 I believe.

 

[Fearlezz]

I think the bridge does explode like that, after you cross it. It just seems SO massive in the trailer because of the music, camera angles and the whole destructive scene that comes after he says "Looks like its been a change of plans".

Edit:
btw did someone notice in the very first bombing scene, the very first one, right after he finished his sentence. When the jet flies by, Its a fullbright map. Noticed that the first time I saw it

 

[FaTony]

Well I've just played Killing Floor and imho zombie games are boring. Well whatever.
