De la Anand :
"You'll see my own numbers tomorrow night at midnight, but we've been given the go ahead to reveal a bit of information about Half-Life 2. I'll keep it brief and to the point and will explain it in greater detail tomorrow night:

- Valve is pissed at all of the benchmarking "optimizations" they've seen in the hardware community;
- Half-Life 2 has a special NV3x codepath that was necessary to make NVIDIA's architecture perform reasonably under the game;
- Valve recommends running geforce fx 5200 and 5600 cards in dx8 mode in order to get playable frame rates.
- even with the special NV3x codepath, ATI is the clear performance leader under Half-Life 2 with the Radeon 9800 Pro hitting around 60 fps at 10x7. The 5900 ultra is noticeably slower with the special codepath and is horrendously slower under the default dx9 codepath;
- the Radeon 9600 Pro performs very well - it is a good competitor of the 5900 ultra;
- ATI didn't need these special optimizations to perform well and Valve insists that they have not optimized the game specifically for any vendor.

There you have it folks, there's much more coming tomorrow."

In afara de faptul ca ATI shaders sunt mai rapide, se pare ca are si code path pt shaders din DX8.1, good news pt NV GF3\4 Ti, Radeon 8500\9000.

Da mah, fara indoiala. Orice joc serios ar trebui sa aiba mai multe path-uri si sa colapseze dinspre cel mai complex spre cele inferioare, in fct de harsware-ul tau. Pana si Tomb Raider 6 are chiar in meniul de config butoane PS 2.0, PS 1.4 si PS 1.1. O sa vedem si noi apa cool, dar fara refractii dinalea superbazate. Ma bucur ca ATi o sa ia avans la vanzari din cauza HL2 . Sincer m-am cam saturat de logo-urile nV care au ajuns pana si in Lionheart (wtf?). Chiar am auzit ca jocul va veni la bundle cu 9800XT. Lovitura grea.
Chiar apare pe 30 sper, nu? Abia astept. E pe locul 3 in topul asteptarilor mele dupa Silent Hill 3 si ND4SPD 7.

Nici o grija, de acum inainte o sa vezi logourile de la ATI...Personal as vrea sa nu fie nici un logo si tot ce implica asta. Naiba, in ritmul asta, o sa se ajunga sa nu poti juca un joc ca cere o anumita placa video (numai ATI sau numai Nvidia). Exagerez, dar oricum nu e bine ce se intampla acum...

In mod sigur este amanat si nu va iesi pe 30 septembrie (mi se pare ca sunt destule post-uri pe care puteai sa citesti treaba asta). Cand va fi lansat nu cred ca stie nimeni clar, eu insa am o banuiala ca nu-l vom vedea anul asta. Oricum, ca sa te edifici, intra pe www.planethalflife.com si vezi acolo.

Dezinformare dupa dezinformare. Marketing adevarat, deh. Dupa ce s-a amanat oficial, nu s-a amanat oficial

Gamers Hell are reporting that Gabe Newell (?) sent us a mail letting us supposedly know that the 'news' posted on Shacknews yesterday (story) is a fake and that Half-Life 2 has gone Gold and in production now. Here's the official word:

The release will still remain on schedule for Sep 30th. People who have pre-orded it via Steam will still get it before the Sep 30th but we are currently ironing out a couple of bugs, people may have seen Half Life 2 yesterday for a minute on it while we were in our testing stages (...) The SDK will be available for download tomorrow 2.00pm EST. Now you've heard it from the horses mouth so rest assured. More news to follow on Sep 26th so watch this space.

http://www.gamershell.com/news_BHalf-Life2BGold.shtml

Cu alte cuvinte, alf-life 2 e gold, sa speram.

Da am citit si eu de dimineata . Sa speram ca totusi este adevarat si apare asa cum au promis. Desi pt mine nu-i o veste buna pt ca inca nu am bani de placa video cu care sa-l joc. Da intai sa vedem daca merita o placa video.

Update: After a few phone conversations with VU and thorough investigation of e-mail headers, coupled with the knowledge that Valve isn't located in UK (e-mail header), we've decided to have fallen victims to an e-mail spoof (although Valve is still unavailable to comment). While VU PR representative was unable to comment on actual release date, we feel stronger than not that the game has indeed been delayed.

We did get caught on a trick some clevar haxx0r played on us with HL2 going gold announcement. Disregard that statement - although Vivendi still can't comment on the official release date, I'd say stay tuned for a press release withing the next couple of days.

Eu am o vaga impresie ca jocul ar fi cat se poate de terminat si finisat (au avut 4 ani la dispozitie si nu l-au anuntat decat atunci cand au considerat ca jocul este aproape gata). Faptul ca Doom3 nu va aparea anul asta (a se citi "de Craciun"), lasa lui HL2 toate vanzarile de sarbatori...garantate. Asa ca ce mai conteaza pt. Vivendi inca o luna-doua...numai bine, mai creste hypeul (care deja este la cote astronomice) si au si profit la vanzari mai mare, ca-l scot de Craciun.

Teoria conspiratiei...

Pe forumuri "de afara" lumea e convinsa ca va aparea CS pt.HL2, mai precis ca jocul va putea fi rulat pe engine-ul de HL2 dupa "minor modifications". Oricum, evit sa dau sursa pentru ca erau doar zvonuri, nimic oficial.

Parca nu stiati ca benchmarku' va iesi cu putin timp inaintea jocului, ca si SDK-u'...

Cand au prezentat rezultatele placilor nvidia si ati in benchmarkul lor, au spus ca el va fi disponibil inaintea aparitiei jocului, DAR pe data de 30 sept.. Intre timp jocul a fost amanat oficial cu cateva luni, dar data aparitiei benchmarkului a ramas tot 30 sept.. Cel putin eu nu stiu sa fi spus ca au schimbat data si pt. el...

Nu, n-au spus chestia asta, dar toata lumea stie ca asa va fi. Motivul, cred eu, este urmatorul: nu vor sa influenteze lumea in cumpararea unui tip de placa video (si ma refer aici la chipset-uri ati sau nvidia) in detrimentul celeilalte. Poate va amintiti ca atunci cand nu mai retin exact cine de la valve a spus pe un forum ca ati se prezinta de departe mai bine decat nvidia in HL 2, cei din urma (nvidia) au avut o reactie foarte violenta, argumentand, printre altele, ca producatorii jocului nu au folosit cele mai noi drivere nvidia atunci cand au facut respectivele teste.
Daca benchmark-ul ar aparea inainte de lansarea jocului, producatorii ale caror placi video au iesit mai prost in teste ar avea o cauza pentru a-i da in judecata pe producatorii jocului, aceasta cauza fiind incercarea de a influenta publicul pentru a alege un anumit tip de produs (evident, cel care ar iesi mai bine in teste). Sunt destule precedente similare in dreptul comercial american si va dati seama ca nimeni intreg la minte nu doreste un proces de o asemenea anvergura (cu exceptia avocatilor, poate ).
