![]() Ĭurrently, the High Definition Pack can be enabled in the video settings and requires the game to be restarted in order to take effect. Over a year later, on August 30, 2006, a staff member of Planet Half-Life released a fixed version of the patched High Definition Pack for use in Steam. When enabled, Steam automatically disables the use of any other custom content. ![]() Many also complained at how the High Definition Pack was implemented in the program. Without these patched models, many modifications will act erratically, as the missing animations can interrupt scripted sequences, possibly preventing the player from continuing or even crashing the game. ![]() These patched models re-included animations missing from the high definition models that, although did not appear in any of the official games, were commonly used in custom levels and modifications. However, Valve was criticized for not using the fixed version of the models, which were already available in Gearbox's patch for Blue Shift. On August 25, 2005, the High Definition Pack was made available for free through Steam by Valve. These extra HD features were never officially released for the PC version of the game. Chargers have been converted to 3D and have special animations during use. The PlayStation 2 port took advantage of a "Level of Detail" system, allowing these very detailed models up close without sacrificing performance. As such, they're considered a continuation of the High Definition Pack. This included full facial animation and individually-animated fingers. The PlayStation 2 remake of Half-Life saw even further improved models to the game, also created by Gearbox. Earlier preview shots of the Dreamcast version shows yet even older incarnations of some of the high definition models. The leaked version of the DC game included models that possessed some very noticeable differences from the finished high definition models and even had some improved models not made part of the High Definition Pack at all. However, they were evidently not directly converted as the models that appeared in the Dreamcast port appear to be earlier versions of what would finally comprise the High Definition Pack. The Dreamcast port boasted improved graphical content, and these models were eventually carried over to the PC after the game's cancellation. The High Definition Pack spawned from the canceled Sega Dreamcast version of Half-Life, in which Blue Shift was included as a bonus addition to the game. The Barney models, original (left) and HD (right) comparison. To reflect some of the weapon changes with the high definition models, new sounds were given to the shotgun and assault rifle, as well as new sprites for the game's HUD. The Glock 17 was replaced by a Beretta 92FS, the Colt Python by a Colt Anaconda, and the MP5 submachine gun by a Colt Model 727 assault rifle. This included some notable changes to the game's original arsenal. In addition, all of the weapon models were upgraded as well. The upgraded character models in the High Definition Pack included the scientists, security guards, and HECU soldiers, as well as several of the Xen creatures. Subsequently, while the models are improved in terms of the level of detail, it remains a matter of opinion as to whether they look better. However, despite the increased level of detail, the style of some of the models, most noticeably the HECU soldiers, has been changed. The improvements coming from the High Definition Pack mainly stem from the increased polygon count over the default Half-Life models.

![]() Uta surprise attacks Noro from behind by piercing his stomach with his hands, but was surprised to see that Noro had no reaction. Shuu Tsukiyama hits Noro with his kagune, but his attacks fail to harm him. Itsuki Marude asks for the casualty reports, and upon being told that roughly half of the investigators made it out alive, he throws away his earpiece in his fury and curses Owl. Amon sees Kaneki passing by and wonders if he has been fighting too. They try to leave, and Kuroiwa wants to say something about the Owl, but he then shrugs it off. Kuroiwa and Shinohara tell Hirako and Amon to take shelter and they will leave once they remove their Aratas. The area begins to shake and a part of the building is about to fall on Kuroiwa and Shinohara, but Owl saves them by destroying the debris. He tells them that if a soul does exist in Arata, then he has no plans of helping them. Kuroiwa goes to Shinohara while Owl makes a speech about people trying to justify killing, but taking away someone's life is still evil. Shinohara and Kuroiwa manage to put up a fight against Owl, but stop as Arata continues to eat Shinohara. He and Kuroiwa activate a new function on their armor boosting its strength, but as a consequence, it eats at their bodies. They continue to fight and Shinohara, realizing that they are losing, decides to use their last resort. Hirako and Amon are able to land a hit on Owl, but his wounds regenerate quickly. Kuroiwa and Shinohara activate their Arata proto, a kakuja quinque, then proceed to fight Owl. Shinohara and Iwao Kuroiwa decide that they must fight Owl and tells the other investigators to leave and finish off Aogiri Tree with the exception of Take Hirako. ![]() Owl recognizes the ghoul investigator who took his arms in the battle ten years ago, and tells Yukinori Shinohara that he looks to have become successful as well and that he should have taken his dominant arm in their encounter in the past just like how he did with his superior.

![]() Many people suddenly turned their real life career paths towards city planning, in part because they were so successful at playing SimCity. But this was an extremely complex series of correct decision making and largely excluded the possibility of predictability. One of the unexpected positive outcomes of the SimCity was it gave players the belief that they actually had control over the game, and by following a certain series of steps the result would be virtually guaranteed. This eliminated two important features of the vast majority of PC games that were currently on the market - predictability and frustration (with randomness). Rather than having a random set of events occurring with the player having no real control of the outcome, or a table of results that would define the predictability of a game’s outcome, the growth of an area was based on historical data and proven methods of city planning that were more in line with reality. The solo player games that can be played on a standalone computer require huge amounts of disk space, far more than was available in 1989. The online game databases of today are stored on remote servers accessed through the Internet. This concept of simulating real world events based on the data stored in a database is what is basically imitated in most of today’s most popular games. What was a game changer in 1989 was Maxis developing what amounted to a real world simulation on a computer, a simulation that would be the basis of all later versions of the SimCity Franchise. It did have the essential residential, commercial, and industrial zoning areas but animation was very limited. The early version of the game featured block graphics and gameplay involved using the arrow keys (not many computer users dared to venture into the world of the tethered mouse yet) to choose your areas of development. (Although technically the game had been developed for the Commodore 64 five years earlier, it had even greater limitations than these PCs.) Even though Windows 3.0 was technically a graphical user interface, it was not much more than a tiny step up from the DOS operating system environments that many users of the day refused to give up until Windows 3.1 changed the hearts of many PC users. This is what Maxis, the company that was the creator and developer of the original SimCity, had to work with. This configuration would cost you about $1,000 depending on brand, model, etc. The basic computer configuration was an 80286 Intel processor, 2 megabytes of RAM, a 60 megabyte hard disk, a single 3.5 inch floppy with a 720,000 byte storage capacity (or a 5.25 inch floppy disk with 1.2 megabytes of storage), and a 12 or 15 inch VGA monitor. Windows version 3.1 was not yet introduced into the mainstream computer market, an event that would follow three years later. The original version of SimCity was released in 1989. Yet from this rudimentary technology came a video PC game that remains one of the most popular among PC gamers. It will require us to look both at the hardware and software limitations of the time, limitations that compared to today’s most basic computer configurations seem like people in the late 1980’s were working with clay tablets and stone styluses. For many readers this will be humorous, while for others it will be nostalgic.
