Thats a very Valve thing to do

Same. But it's also logical that they want their game to look as good as possible in videos, it's PR after all.

i tell you. Fk to new Valve in 2020s.

It would be very noticeable to a dev who'd worked on it before.

Yeah, Now plz, Share it! =D

he breaks them at 7:15 and you can clearly see the flip of the text

Yeah it looks odd

Also, why does it say to break glass to the people outside? 😅

@@arianrose6633 It looks like there's actually a frame there where both the original window and the flipped window (being broken) exist at the same time

@@arianrose6633 in this example, you can also see the shatter effect is also going the wrong way, its breaking as if it was shot from the other side (glass is flying towards the player instead of away), which is pretty interesting

or play COD - the superior FPS!!! if u dont upvote this, u are noob!

​​@@SoyAntonioGamingor maybe shut up? cod is a great fps don't get me wrong but don't come watching counter strike videos to annoy the playerbase

@@SoyAntonioGaming you're embarrasing

@@SoyAntonioGamingyikes

@@kitwheston ur mad bcuz u are not skilled enough to have sponsors

I was talking to some of my friends about the new glass effects and I said the exact same thing! I certainly prefer it over the new effect, it looks too... animated? i guess?

The custom glass maps were a blast to play.

@@esparttt Yeah it does look a little too animated imho.. and the broken pieces don't even hit the ground, unlike in CSGO with Source 1; *in **7:16** and **7:19** for examples,* maybe they'll fix it later but i dont know :/

​@@z33iihhyou know why it looks animated? Because it is

might be intentional considering the aspect ratio is just the regular 16:9 edit: there are shorts uploaded as shorts today about this same very video, but those other short non shorts videos seem to be separate.

@@TheMinipasila Yeah, perhaps Philip is trying something new. I would assume shorts are clearly viewed more though.

youtube pls fix

@@noahpoobbailey shorts show less ads so less money. and since those "normal" shorts aren't shown on your subscription feed, he's probably just checking how they will perform without artificial attention coming from the subscribers (except that people found out already)

@@noahpoobbailey cs2 content is uploaded typically as bite sized 60 second regular videos so i'm not surprised philip uploaded this video in chunks and didn't put them in sub boxes to try to cater to the algorithm that way as well

those are per-pixel shadows, even high end games don't use it for static lights that often(usually one or two(very taxing) per room or area), here they have placed it everywhere, new nuke is gonna be hell to run on old GPUs or else people with slower GPU are gonna be at disadvantage..

All lights in S2 have a setting called 'Baked Light Indexing'. This is what allows them to cast specular highlights and dynamic shadows. However, you're limited to no more than 4 indexed lights per surface. So it makes sense to just have one big indexed light in the room, and have the rest use more basic lighting. 1:33 You can see that on low settings, the indexed light is disabled, so the room's lighting looks very flat and dull.

@@bshap495 That's not what they're using here. They're simply using fully dynamic point lights. The Baked Light Indexing works the same way as Stationary Lights in Unreal. They create a precalculated shadow mask, which allows the lights to cast specular highlights on lightmapped surface, and only use dynamic shadows for dynamic objects. In 0:54, static meshes cast dynamic shadows (hence the pixelated appearance), indicating it's a dynamic light source.

agreed, absolutely beautiful

?

lol

not really but ok

not anymore

to keep the demons out.

but the demons have arrived

@@jaysonkstoneit failed

lots of bigger youtubers do this, it's so they can wait for it to fully process so people who go to the video via the notification don't watch it in 360p

No need

@@m.n.s.s2825wrong. It looks bad when there’s no details like that

Gotta understand the maps setting, it's an arrival at a recently active and running facility, not an old town street like mirage, dust or inferno (like mentioned in the video too). *d i f f e r e n t m a p s* 🤯

@@ossyx yeah, sure, like the truck the terrorists used to crash into the power plant: pristine and new. Get out of here with that bs argument, look out your window and see the real world for once, NOTHING is this shiny and pretty irl, no matter how new the buildings may be

​@@ossyxNo floor ever looks that clean, not even if it was sweeped the same day.

They have made everything static in CSGO. Source had dynamic physics objects

@@MrDeaz no the objects breaking just feel heavier

No game engine can render volumetric shadow is seem. But 3D Render can do it even on Blender's eevee a somewhat of a Videogame render engine They should ask Blender Foundation for help I guess

@@Deezsirrer biggest reason is optimization, games cannot afford slow downs especially competitive games it just makes the entire experience terrible if we just enable all graphical options without taking care how each could affect performance, the game would not run... it would "crawl" and a reminder that cs2 is meant to replace csgo, and that valve is aware that a lot of players on csgo does not have high end computers to play at maximum settings hell, there's plenty of people play csgo at lowest setting and 4:3 screen ratio to squeeze out as much fps as possible they cannot carelessly add graphical features that might alienate too many csgo players, it may however be introduced later either during this limited test period or when cs2 comes out. we have heard from the people that play tested cs2 early (pros and such) that valve are able to fix issues within minutes and have a new build of the game running for play testers to try after a break valve definitely has a better pipeline to make changes on cs2, likely to be a source 2 thing. we'll likely get a compromise of real-time shadow for the volumetric smoke, maybe some sort of fake shadow blob that stops dynamic shadows (like player shadows) to render in it or simply anything that's in the smoke stops casting shadow (but this one has the problem of how the engine would know how much shadow to not cast? like what if only my left leg is in the smoke, the rest of my body should cast a shadow)

they would have to raymarch the volumes twice which is twice as expensive

@@lifegrain6092 The easiest "fix" would be to just adjust the lighting on the b spot because elsewhere there isn't really a spot where this leads to the same problem.

@@Becke963 yeah since it's only 1 spot.... so far, we've yet to see the othet maps

Office is my best map upgrade concurrently It looks like my Blender Render from 8 months ago Its so raytracing without a Rtx card . Kinda MindBlowing to look at!

Fr I haven't played it in a long time but I got mad respect for philip

it's way too demanding to do that since for each point/omni light they would have to render six images at the resolution 512x512 and it's already impressive they chose to do that in such a competitive game. I've played the beta and the shadows really aren't as bad as some say they are, they are only big at the bomb site and even that is not that distracting

S2FM is out already. At least I saw some HL: Alyx Videos made with S2FM.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLGClMmC3JneXac.html

That’s a great idea

@@tehjamerzwhat?

Games with decent lighting go way further than high quality textures (i.e f.e.a.r)

Wonder what negative shadows would look like, your shadow in front of you?

@@deixos2224 it wouldn't work, its not negative on the shadow but on option select ( 0-> low 1-> medium 2-> high for example). im sure there are checks for unsupported values which default it to 0 . Idk how it actually works for cs2, im just guessing

@@liv6646 I know it doesn't work on source or really any other engine I'm just joking about how negative shadows would look like :p

@@deixos2224 well if you invert the shdaow mask you would just get light where there are supposed to be shadows and everything else is dark

they aren't, i think you didn't know that for each point light they have to render 6 images at 512x512 pixels which can be really demanding and that's why most games don't use that many dynamic shadows and if they do they are on a low res

valve doesnt own cache so they wont touch the map or upgrade it.

Makes sense, since Source 2 now saves maps as one giant 3d model with level geometry and static models baked in.

it'd be fun to see maps in different weather conditions and time of day de_nukenight

i think they stopped using area portals in cs2

It would appear that sv_cheats 1 r_disable_distance_fade_on_big_props 1 r_disable_distance_fade_on_big_props_thresh 1 would do the trick. Let me know if it works.

Yeah the glass is really disappointing to me, especially given the old glass stuck around for a while. The metal bits still do so it seems the glass was just rushed.

yeah, i feel like not only does it look nice but it's not immersion-ruining for a nice (new? i dont remember the lore) power plant to be clean

Janitor definitely needs a payrise for this

Definitely has a huge mirror's edge vibe, especially the colors

@@aqueousdog sure, the power plant is so new they even took the time to clean the canal and the truck the terrorists just used to crash into the place. Cant have that ruin the aesthetics!!
