Fakefactory's Cinematic Mod V8.0 orangeBox

knowledge123 · 14 May 2008 at 08:26

Cinematic Mod's anticipated port to the Orangebox Engine is here! Bear in mind this Beta 1 of V8.0 are there will be some known and unknown issues as depicted below. If you would rather wait for the complete version, that will available as soon as everything is polished out.

THIS VERSION BRINGS THE ORANGEBOX ENGINE TO OLD HL2 AND EP1. IT INSTALLS INDEPENDENT FROM CM7 OR OLDER VERSIONS. TO PLAY THIS MOD, YOU MUST OWN HALF-LIFE 2 / EPISODE ONE / EPISODE TWO FULLY INSTALLED AND UNLOCKED (= started at least one time)! YOU CANNOT PLAY THIS MOD WITHOUT EPISODE TWO CONTENT!

Please note this download is 5.53 GB in size and is split up into 6 .rar files for convenience & easier downloading.

Make sure you download ALL 6 parts and extract with WinRAR

Features:

* Updated engine to the Orangebox for improved graphics and gameplay
* Raise the quite outdated graphical appearance to a state-of-the-art level
* Give the HL2 trilogy a more stressed, darker and minatory look
* Complement the atmosphere with a emotional cinematic music soundtrack that fits the action on the screen
* Replace the low-resolution textures with high resolution counterparts and more detailed environments
* Complement the storyline with the unused content from the original games
* Refresh the look and feel with optional new HD models
* Add more replay-value to the game
* Give the facepunch monkeys something to complain about

The following issues are known and currently unfixed in V8.0 Beta 1:

* At the first teleport-sequence out of Kleiners Lab, during the "visit" at Breens office: Breen cannot stand up
* The teleport rings at Kleiners Lab are not rotating & have been disabled completely as a temporary workaround
* The Valve-Alyx/HD-Body hybrid model is far from finished
* The CM7 and older models aren't included
* New dynamic shadows are disabled by default on some systems
* Remember to set the shadow settings to high for activating the new effects.
* The new Valve-style Mossman/Eli/Breen/Barney HD-models aren't included, because they are too far from a usable stage.

Its more like the game looks so old now & not the engine.

Different use of the same engine though.

I'd have to say I'd take HL2's gameplay over Crysis' graphics any day of the week.

FrenchTart · 14 May 2008 at 22:33

I'm going to wait until 1.0, when they finish upgrading Alyx's breasts to 28GGGG size :rolleyes:

Bingo, said it yourself

Looks good but already played through it with V7 mod so am not going to bother with this one looks pretty much the same.

Devil_Spawn · 15 May 2008 at 08:04

anybody looked at tf2? thats certainly not a turd

-Ad- · 15 May 2008 at 09:27

Still a great looking game in my eyes.

Never finished HL2 as I kept re-formatting and having to play up to the same point time and time again as I didn't keep the game saves.

Time to get going again me thinks.

HL2 engine is one of the few out there that manages to run at a decent speed and still look good on my crappy work PC (HL2 deathmatch LAN

), so I think you're being a little harsh.

Any way to download this in one big 6gb file like on fileplanet? I just hate adding 6 individual downloads...

LeJosh · 19 Oct 2008 at 22:20

I think HL2 engine still looks stunning. Maybe I'm just easy pleased.

snowdog · 19 Oct 2008 at 22:31

It looks decent, but if you can have better gfx, then why not? It's not as if HL2 is struggling on these days's gpu's

...

Found a way to download one big package instead of 6 1gb parts

Exactly , lol

snowdog · 19 Oct 2008 at 23:01

Anyways I understand this makes the characters look normal? And I can replace the ugly alix with a nice looking woman ?

* The Valve-Alyx/HD-Body hybrid model is far from finished
