--- Quote from: Saber15 on February 05, 2011, 12:22:36 PM ---source takes ages to load anything remotely large (AS maps are tiny), it can't do open areas well, it relies on slightly updated map making engine that was originally made 14 years ago, almost all the lighting is pre-baked stuff that takes forever to render, the AI out of the box is horrible, the dynamic lights are resource hogs (even compared to STALKER) --- End quote --- Source engine is so far ahead of its time, there's no way you can bitch about stuff like that. Half Life 2 was released seven years ago and the graphics are still great even for today's standards. I don't think it's hard to say that, relative to when it was released, Half Life 2 is the best looking game ever. Baked lighting is an innovation that makes it feasible for lighting to look amazing and still have outstanding performance. |

I believe a lot of games still use BSP, I believe CoD still uses it. --- Quote from: Saber15 on February 05, 2011, 12:22:36 PM ---almost all the lighting is pre-baked stuff that takes forever to render, --- End quote --- Portal 2 and DotA 2 are on the latest source engine that includes a new lighting system. --- Quote from: Saber15 on February 05, 2011, 12:22:36 PM ---the AI out of the box is horrible, --- End quote --- Then code better AI. --- Quote from: Saber15 on February 05, 2011, 12:22:36 PM ---the dynamic lights are resource hogs (even compared to STALKER) --- End quote --- They were designed to have one at a time. |
