yea because nobody will notice the EXTREMELY DETAILED TEXTURES co-existing with the stock textures.

one thing i liked when i played was how often i came across models that appear to be re-skinned Half-Life 2 props...such as chairs and tables, radiators and toilets, sinks and etc. very cool.

I loved everything. From seeing how hard this must have been to make with the source engine, I can't complain on anything really. I am amased he actaully pulled this of to final hehe.

Hopefully more gamestudios and such will open their eyes for source engine, to se that it is still a really good engine, though this may probably be graphic wise..

Anyway, can't wait to se what Robert and his team will be up to next!

Way worth the ten bucks for it. I always say this is what "Super Source"looks like. :-D

We all know Source is a bit behind the times but this Indie release is a prime example that it is still able to push the limits. So looking forward to when Valve actually tries to update Source. They will totally blow all other engines out of the water. :smt021

I liked the original mod and also bought this one.

I'm not exactly disapointed because i allready knew what DE is about, but i expected something more then a graphic update.

Why not extending on the concept and create different paths arround the island, each with alternating storylines which might even result in a different ending.

Also a little bit of interacting with the enviroment and collectable stuff that gives you another piece of additional information would have been nice.

However, a good experience, but also a lot of missed oportunities.

Maybe just coincidence?

How do I disable the voice-over? And how do I save?

Or selectively remove the dialog files and leave the music and sfx from that folder.

Doesn't Steam redownload them back because you're missing files?

I think one way to "get rid of voice-overs", is to find the null.wav file from one of the GCF's of any Source game. Then, you make as many copies as there are voice-overs in the DE's folder and rename them all to exact same filenames so you can replace the voice-overs with files that contain nothing but silence.
