The 16:9 HUD pic is displaying an object on the left. This is not distortion.

Are there any rendered cut-scenes that appear later in the game?

Nope, all in-game. The only rendered video is at the beginning with the Episode One recap, and that scales properly.

Actually that is the pre-rendered cut-scene. AKA FMV. You have to look closely but you can tell the diff. One giveaway is a constant framerate.


Rendered is the same as you would see while playing. A rendered cut would be where you lose control of the player for a period of time while something happens. (EX. - Panning shot where you see the bad guy walk out of a cave to fight you. That kind of thing.)

Thanks for the input anyway. We need more of that around here. :)

Normally, I wouldn't do this if there's an outstanding issue. But in this case, the benefits of an early certification are high enough, and the odds of a rendered cut-scene not being hor + are so low, that the risk is easily worth it.


But please remember to update this with the appropriate info once you've finished the game!

I have not started EP 1 yet. :(

Come on community lend a hand.

Other than the HL2: EP1 recap at the beginning of the game, there are no cut scenes pre rendered or otherwise. Just scripted events.

The game is 100% certified.

I will assume that by scripted events you do not mean anything that takes control away from the player.

Thanks for the input. :)

Correct.

Thanks again friend.
