If I remember correctly, you can get CS: Source if you already have a copy of Condition Zero. Someone told me that through a particular Fileplanet subscription, you can get a copy of Condition Zero for about $5. The subscription being $15, the game $5. This would seem like the best deal to go...
Funny you mention that, man, cause when I saw the E3 04 trailer I didn't think it looked all that impressive. Then I saw the ATI booth vid...and had to pick my jaw off the floor. Didn't think it would impress me as much as the one from last year.
Somethin' I'm curious about: how do these separate booths operate in terms of number of showings per day at E3? Do they hold one on the hour, or just once per booth? Cause if Gabe was at the ATI booth giving the presentation there, I'd assume they'd have to coordinate times for viewings...
Yeah...I must say I'm getting as psyched as I was last year around this time when the original E3 demo was released. The coolest scene from the ATI booth imo is the one where Gordon walks through the apartment building with the combine inside. All the tenants looking out the window as other...
Heh heh, all I need to do now is stake out where Gabe's car is parked and arrange for a little 'accident'.
"More potatoes, Gabe? Say, when's Half-Life 2 coming out?"
"Carrots? Half-Life 2?"
Nah I went there too. TBH the only details I remember from my friend's account was something involving combine guards hiding behind a huge rock on the beach. I can only assume they're hiding from an Ant Lion. So yeah, I suppose it was the same preview that you mentioned.
My 2 cents on the whole idea that what was leaked was ALL they had (which may be irrelevant depending on what's come to light since I last visited hl2.net): A friend of mine who lives in the Bellevue area (where Valve is located) got to see a neato preview of Half-Life 2 because of connections...
If DNF is the slice of heaven tech-wise that he is touting it to be, then the graphics better blow everything else out of the water. I'm gonna be pissed as hell if it's just 'alright' whenever it does actually come out. It wouldn't surprise me if it was just decent tbh.
Already games like...
I'll say this: Valve are marketing geniuses. They created a gigantic hype back before Sep 30th and the eventual delay. Gabe's reply to several of my e-mails regarding which card to get for HL-2 pretty much sold me on my decision of getting a 9800 Pro. I was foolish in that my main motivation for...
Why is it a game developer's obligation to have good PR with it's fan base, exactly? If the damn thing comes out, and it's good, that's all that really matters. I'd rather have a 'vale' dick up my ass than be playing a shitty ass, incomplete game that shouldn't even be stacked against the likes...
You sir, are an idiot. I somehow doubt you know what goes on at Valve Software, or understand the politics surrounding the source code leak. Why exactly are you upset? Because the game's technology may seem outdated when it does get released, or because they've given us little to no...
Chris_D that is perhaps the funniest avatar I've ever seen. ROFL would be an understatement regarding my reaction. :)
Now the most entertaining avatar I've seen would be one of a woman massaging her breasts. Someone on here had this a while back. Wish I could find it. Pure genious...
Congrats on your visit to Valve m8 :cheers: It's great to see others getting to see this incredible developer's offices. I'm sure glad Valve allows this sort of openness with their fans. The mark of a true gaming company by gamers.
I don't recall any of Id's games equalling the scope and grandeur of Half-Life's modding community.
I am looking forward to both games very much, but I think that Half-Life 2's modding capabilities and tools with prove to give the game a much longer shelf life than Doom 3. I mean, Valve is...
Maybe that's because Halo was developed for the PC port by Gearbox Software, NOT Bungie, the people that originally created it. They obviously did not spend enough time tweaking it for the PC. Ironic isn't it that originally it was conceived solely for the PC?
On the other hand Call of Duty...
