CANVAS - Amazing Half Life 2 Mod

The existence of the CANVAS mod has been announced this month. Looks incredible. Not yet released tho.

snap that looks awesome. Hopefully it will actually see the light of day unlike the HL1 remake on the Source Engine, which as far as I can tell has been in development forever...

Holy crap that was some terrible 3D models and animation!!! Great lighting and sound but please find a good animator and a good modeler. Hopefully after this video gets shown a bit they will get a couple more talents interested.

Not a whole lot of gameplay shown there, and looks like a lot of post-processing on the video footage. From the website, it sounds like it could be an interesting idea, but I'll reserve excitement until I see a little gameplay footage, at least.

Sorry I have to be the dissenting voice here, but this doesn't really look particularly amazing to me. There is little-to-no substance here. Just pretty effects. It's the Half-Life 2 engine, not some revolution in computer gaming. ALL of the effects are done in post. NONE of what actually looks GOOD is real-time.

If this is a real mod and if it ever gets released, it won't look anything like this, I'm sorry to say. To me, this looks more like an art piece built with the help of Half-Life 2, not an attempt to make a revolutionary interactive experience.

90% of what is in this video can't be done in that engine. Look closer at the effects, and tell me they still look convincingly real-time to you. View fullscreen at 720p, and you'll likely be able to pick it apart as I already have in my own head.

That said, the video itself is really cool. However, I guarantee you will be disappointed if you expect a mod on the HL2 engine to look that good.
