What is this:

- The Cinematic Modification adds Hires-Textures to all human
characters, some
non-human characters, nearly all items, walls and vehicles (and the vending mashine of course). (Hint: If you prefer the original Low-Res
Textures, delete or rename the "materials" folder inside the Mod.)
the screenshots are absolutely amazing

I think it looks worse, the textures are all dotted

sort of, thats the original mod, whereas this is the updated texture pack- and it looks absolutely amazing in game. brings my system to its knees though :(

if HL2 runs.. i dunno why it wouldnt..

Honestly, i didnt notice any framerate drop at all, and while it does look better in parts, as a whole it seems like a waste of a gig of hd space..

i noticed things like in the lab where you get your suit, you can actually zoom in and READ the monitors.. Story line chars seem to be a little nicer looking as well..

hl2 is enough of a resource-hogging beast as it is without this. looks pretty though

This prompted me to make a layered image of picmip 1-5 in quake to see what it looked like. Here's the difference between picmip 0 and 1 on Q3Tourney2:

The function of picmip is slightly different to simply replacing the images with lower-res textures, but side-by-side you can see the improvement in HL2 is pretty much like they added another 2 stages of picmip or so to the whole game. Which is pretty cool.

there are also 2 other updates for it, which go on top of 2.16 (the original link):

2.17:
This is a hotfix/update for the Hirespack AND the Cinematic Mod. You need V2.16 of either the HiResPack or the Cinematic Mod installed..


Changes:
- Added more Tiles, Props, Walls, Doors etc...
- Added two new Hires-Faceskins (Female Resistance)
- Downscaled some doors from 2048 to 1024 px, because you never get close enough for Ultra-Hires textures. This will save some videoram.
- Fixed two wrong scaled textures
- Fixed a spelling error on the vending mashine

and

2.18
Another beautiful update for Fakefactory's cinematic / HiRes mod, this patch focuses on the NPC's face skins; it adds many new skins that are even more realistic then before. This patch is an update for 2.17 of Cinematic Mod and HiRes
