Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / November 2004Look Ma No Hands
The only time I can see hands is when wielding a weapon. Is his normal in this game. Is here a way to show hands on the steering wheel or when lifting a crate for example? No there isnt a way and there hasnt been a need for one. Works all well without showing his hands for everything.

When you're driving, you should keep your eyes on the road, not checking out your nails and stuff. ----- Anders "Roshin" Simonsson http://hem.bredband.net/b273622/index.html Are those guys for real? I mean, what's with this 'justified ancients of Mu Mu' sh.t? > When you're driving, you should keep your eyes on the road, not > checking out your nails and stuff. It would be cool if you could pick your nose in the game. Then look at your 'gold' and fling it at those sand ant things.

Then why do we have to see the weapon model and the hands holding it while only a crosshair is enough to target? If you think displaying hands isn't necessary while driving then what's the point in seeing the vehicle itself? Hands make the game look more realistic IMO. > The only time I can see hands is when wielding a weapon. Is his normal in > this game.

Please be careful, you just gave me a Trespasser flashback. > The only time I can see hands is when wielding a weapon. Is his normal in > this game.

My guess is that to show hands picking up any of the variety of objects in the game would have meant a great deal more programming - each object having different dimensions, weight, handles (or no handles) etc. Know what I mean? (take aim, FIRE!) >>The only time I can see hands is when wielding a weapon. Is his normal in >>this game.

They could probably have kept half a dozen people real busy for another coupla years, just creating hand and arm art/animation/programming for inter- action with all of the 4,738,520 different objects in the game. And not just 'holding' graphics, but picking up, turning, twisting, lifting, dropping, throwing, tossing, driving, etc.- and making it all look good and believable and not stupid and distracting. I can clearly see why they skipped all of that hassle, to get the game out during this decade. -Marshall >>>The only time I can see hands is when wielding a weapon. Is his normal in >>>this game.

Yeah, I agree and I already posted about this a while ago. Having the hands would have helped me to control the damn things. DaveL > The only time I can see hands is when wielding a weapon.

Just a bunch of whinging dickheads arent u really. > Yeah, I agree and I already posted about this a while ago.

I think the answer is two reasons: 1) tradition - most FPS games have hands on itmes like guns that you carry in your inventory (eg. guns) but not on world objects; and 2) programming - it takes a lot of programming to have hands that interact with world objects, especially when players will not really appreciate the difference (see point 1). Deus Ex got around the hands-on-crates thing by simply placing the crate so close to the player (when you pick up a crate) that your hands would be out of shot anyway. I'm not a fan of driving games, but do you get so see hands there? Mind you, the whole vehicle becomes a HUD, so maybe it's easier to implement hands when they don't interact with the outside world. However, I do think having real hands would be a nice touch. So we could press buttons and levers in the world. Maybe it's something we'll see in the next batch of games now that graphics cards are more powerful? > However, I do think having real hands would be a nice touch.
