HL 2 looking pretty good thnx for the screens guys. i might buy it when it comes out. I wonder what mods they will have for that then.

[EnterTheWu]

It's gonna be a long time before it comes out
Valve set the release for sometime in 2007
And seeing how well valve keeps it's deadlines... :P

did you even read the scans 3boy posted? it says September 30, 2003.

[Liquor_Riss]

I bought a new PC to play Half-Life when it first came out so if the sequel turns out to be just as good I'll be damned if I'm not gonna update for it :P

[Devil]

You still run on a PC you bought to play Half-Life ???? Pentium II 233 ?

[Liquor_Riss]

PIII something

[Devil]

eh...

[EnterTheWu]

did you even read the scans 3boy posted? it says September 30, 3002.3002 huh... seems longer than I thought :P

Well this is what I read at BC-Gamer (http://www.bc-gamer.com/)

It's official. Valve has announced that Half life 2 will be shown at this year's E3. We've heard the rumors, we put up with wait, now begins the long anticipation of HL 2's release sometime in 2007. Come on, this is Valve we are talking about here. It's gonna take at least that long to keep up with their winning streak of game perfection. Of course, for those jumping in your chairs, remember, this starts the process of TF 2 and CS 2. Big days are coming.

[Shamus]

*cough* 2003 :P

[Eternal Dragon]

Half Life 2 has been in development since HL was finished you know :P

[Devil]

I totaly knew that there was something more than TF2 in development at Valve

[chrisv]

People must really want to know about this game. They have invented time travel to get that magazine. It is PC Gamer June 2003!

[Eternal Dragon]

Magazines are usually done at least a month ahead of time, hence why using them to first show a game is bad nowadays. Images will be leaked quickly, and it always happens.

yes, but it's June, which is 2 months ahead!

[MonkZero]

eh, they do that. well cant wait, or can i, for hl 2, looks great. but then again, thats what i said about tf2. i saved up and waited 2 years. i started to wait when they said it was coming out in 3 months.

[EnterTheWu]

Well maybe PC gamer likes to write they magazine two months ahead of time so their information is 2 months outdated :D

[chrisv]

The game sounds like it is going to be pretty amazing.

HAHA! That was funny... I dont get why the quotage from Liqour though.. senseless I tell ya! Senseless!!! Maybe ill understand it in the morning....

[Liquor_Riss]

Magazines are usually done at least a month ahead of time.
At least a month...so that means they could be done 500 years in advance if they wanted.

[drake]

well magazines are well thought out and layed out. They are built to keep our attention and therefore it demands their attention so badly they like to have them done early incase there is a problem they have time to fix it before the release.

CNN article on the game.

[Liquor_Riss]

[Shamus]

[Devil]

[Liquor_Riss]

More of the glistening wet eyes I see, coolio :P

[digital]

looks like some shit from the crappy final fantasy movie

[Devil]

sorry if I say "fuck..." alot. I want to get attention 8)

[RaNc|d]

you won't get mine

[Threeboy]

the videos are insane for this.... they're on www.ign.com

the engine is so physic'd out it's not funny

[Shamus]

I'm not even gonna try cuz I know you have to be an IGN Insider. :rolleyes:

(PS why don't the emoticon animations work anymore?)

[Threeboy]

they work for me still :oops:

[brentech]

I'm not even gonna try cuz I know you have to be an IGN Insider. :rolleyes:

(PS why don't the emoticon animations work anymore?)
I Think you might just be getting mixed up. If you click "reply", the emoticons will work...but only until you click one. As soon as you click one of them...they just stop animation, but they will still work normal on the page, so there is no need to worry. :P

[Liquor_Riss]

Try and see what crazy positions you can get the rolleyes emoticon to get stuck in :P

[brentech]

Try and see what crazy positions you can get the rolleyes emoticon to get stuck in :P
Ha. I have never actually "tried" to do that.
But that doesn't mean I don't look at it every time I use a Emoticon :P

[Shamus]

they're all stuck in the first frame of the animation for me.. they have been for a while :(

[Devil]

When you "stop" a website (see your toolbar) the website's animations in gif stop as well.

[Shamus]

I know.

You should try it, great fun while you're waiting for your hefty download to finish :P

[MulletMan]

Sadly I HAVE tried that... :rolleyes:

[RaNc|d]

I precise... SADLY !!!

[MonkZero]

doom 3 has more detail, but this game has more crap you can do and seems more fun. so doom 3 can now just burn. cause all i want is this.
/me panics on makin his pc run well with HL2

[Devil]

Doom3 = Technologies for sale
HL2 = Technologies for sale + A game






So, did anyone else saw the big 550mb video ? What I'm fucking amazed is the physic, now it's getting like true virtual, if you know what I mean 8O

[Threeboy]

HL2 has more physics and that shit is the future

[MonkZero]

mes scared about how real it is. i like the fileplanet video having g-man speak and the speak japanese

[Devil]

oh yeah right, the faces of the models can do a lot of emotion, and like Monk said, the mouth can handle any language :D






Freak !

[MonkZero]

i think g-man is like the only character with an artificial speech thingy, since when he talks, he sounds like hes skipping. like "isnt this like-good.. times" he pauses or rushes on words. well youll know what im talking about if you have the file planet version and listen.

[Devil]

hum, I have the version with the gamespy logo on the bottom right... and no, I don't think he's rushing :?

[MonkZero]

well he doesnt talk normal, if you just listen, you can tell hes not saying it like a normal person.

[Devil]

I re-say, he's not rushing on my version :?

[MonkZero]

ok im just gonna die.
/me dies.

[Liquor_Riss]

Yay! ;)
What size are these videos in case a poor lil' 56ker like me wants to download 'em?

[MonkZero]

hahhahaahah 600 mb. hahahahaha :D

[Devil]

have a good time, take some popcorns and watch your download bar going up.

[MonkZero]

have a good time, take some popcorns and watch your download bar going up.
amen to that brother. ;)

[chrisv]

Or with 56k, go outside and build yourself a log cabin.

[Devil]

Treehouse can be cool too ! You sure have the time to do one :D

[Liquor_Riss]

*cries*
I don't even think I have that much free space :D

[mankymole]
