Since December 2008 is has gone quiet around the modder Fakefactory and his Cinematic Mod for Half-Life 2. New there is a first sign of life: Fakefactory is working on version 10.

The Cinematic Mod 10 is in pre Beta phase and a release date has not been issued yet. Version 10 is said to come with heavily optimized HD characters. Due to an optimized LOD the framerate is supposed to get better noticeably. New features are HD models of objects and a new optional HD model of Alyx. Furthermore a fully dynamic soundtrack, several HDR tweaks and additional bugfixes are included, too.

In our gallery you can find some screenshots of the Cinematic Mod 10. What do you think about the enhanced graphics and the new Alyx HD model? Tell us in the comments.

This game looks terrible! Even the textures do not add up to games like crysis or even some console games. I think a lot of the problem also lies in the color, hue, and lighting that some of the more graphical games use. When its dark, make it feel like its dark, shadows, give the game some real feel to it. Resident Evil 5 has some great lighting, killzone 2, Gears 1 & especially 2, Crysis, Metal Gear Solid 4, I can go on... The point is, I hope these are "early" stage photos, because these guys have a long way yet before this game compares to the titles I had just mentioned.


Do you actually realize that this is a mod for Half-Life 2 which has been released almost 5 years ago? And I don't think that many console games can come anywhere near those textures.
