Re: Half-Life 2

Well the lighting in the PC version of HL2 was nothing special, it was more or less a non-feature due to the slightly older age of the engine, but the engine is modular so it is easy(ish) to add new features in.

Re: Half-Life 2

Well, it probably means that Valve has had time to optimise the lighting effects for the GeForce 3.5 chip that's in the XBox.

I wonder if they'll backport them for DX8 mode on the PC version?
