The AI needs hints to guide them, much like HL...Valve isnt boasting about AI in HL2 as much as they are boasting the source engines capabilities for AI. HL2 will probably be almost entirely scripted. (BTW, Valve hasent boasted the AI to nearly the extent that so many of you seem to think...its...
A holiday release wouldve been more lucrative for Vivendi...so I assumed it would end up a november release no matter what.
I dont honeslty think it was ready for release on sept 30th anyway. I think all the code and resources were done, Ithink they still had to tie up loose ands and fix some...
Dude, what your doing is not "thinking outside the box"...
you have a very narrow mindset regarding the whole matter...take your own advice and question your own veiws as well.
Also, thye did capture it twice for e3...the gheyspy, and gamespot versions are slightly different iirc...but it...
Re: Re: Re: So have we concluded...
You chose to quote that single line to make that statement?
My opinion doesnt even play into that statement...Valve is not answering questions about the leaked content...
Speaking of opinions, do you have one of your own? No...? Just mindless...
Trust me, you have no basis to make that comment because HL2 hasent even shipped yet, so technically, noone has decided anything. Remember, most of us are moderate to hardcore gamers, not warez monkeys, ...and seeing as this is a big part of most of our lives, and takes up a good chunk of our...
ATTENTION: THE ANT LION WHO STARTED THIS THREAD IS A RETARD!
WE CAN NOT TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY! HEADCRABS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. THE THREAD STARTER HAS MADE IT OBVIOUS THAT YOU CAN BE AN IDIOT NO MATTER WHAT IT SAYS UNDER YOUR NICKNAME. SAME AS I AM RIGHT NOW! WE SHOULD CHANGE THE USER LEVELS TO...
The final game WILL have ****ing scripted events. Maybe Gordon needs to be "forced" through that door for gameplay reasons...judging from the E3 fotage, Id say thats a likely scenario. Valve said from the begining the game would have scripted events. ya know why? Cuz you cant tell a story by AI...
The problem with underground movements is that theyre underground. mainstream consumers wont touch it. Hackers and Warezer-ses will play it like they play hacked versions of every other game out there. "UHL2" servers will be shut down as best Valves attourneys can shut them down.
The impact...
The tires are weighted...watch the way they kinda "stutter" as they roll...you can see the wight shifting.
Camera man is the easy part...the frustrating thing would be the engineers having to reset everything maticulously and precisly 606 TIMES!!! :P
Two peices, not two takes...it took 606 takes.
//Edit: Just re-read through this thread, its amazing how many people give into hype as opposed to fact...sheesh
Also, PrimalGod, that is the e-mail I was refering to(or one extremely similar)...I forgot the random number could be seeded. So...

Someone asked Gabe about this, and he said no.
There is some kind of random factor in the physics code that would keep the scenario from playing out the same every time.
BTW llyama is correct about the merging of the clips. the exhaust is the only CG in the entire commercial.
Wich is exactly why Valve should direct all community support issues to thier publishers. Those people receive extensive training on giving machined answers to only certian questions. If your question isnt something they have a stock answer for, they answer a question that is on thier list...
