A New HL2 Level With New Lighting Technology Will Be Unveiled on Attack of the Show

One of biggest gaming stories of 2004 was the long-awaited release of Half-Life 2, which not only achieved “instant classic” status but also brandished bleeding-edge graphics and gameplay. And now, Attack of the Show will unveil a whole new level for Half-Life 2 that’ll give gamers a glimpse into the future of PC graphics.

On Wednesday’s show, Valve’s Doug Lombardi will give an exclusive demonstration of the previously unseen “The Lost Coast,” an upcoming expansion that utilizes a brand-new technology that Valve is implementing into the Source engine. Called “high-dynamic range lighting,” this new technology enables a leap in lighting realism from even the current high benchmark set by Half-Life 2 and the existing Source engine.

Tune in to see how the multiple “Game of the Year” award-winning Half-Life 2 will look even more life-like. For hardcore gamers, this is a must-see!
