Episode 1 preview - PC ZONE

[bbson john]

Nice news. I expect, hope actually, the Valve not to release further information of the game in the future. If more information concerning the storyline of HL2 is released, our curiosity over what happen in HL2 will greatly reduced. This is what everyone does not want to see, no matter players or Valve. So Valve please don't say another word further. Silence is golden. Valve, be wise, be safe, be aware.

p.s. Nuke is not so fearful or terrifying. A single meteor may be millions-time more powerful than that. What we fear of is the nuclear fallout and the radioactive dust. Yet, they are nothing to fear of as such.
p.p.s. I suspect that Combine rarely use spaceship. HL2 is no Starwar. Combine were conveyed to earth by interdimensional teleportor(I make it up). They come here via Calabi-Yau manifold modeled teleportor or some other string-based technologies. It has something to do with topology, rather than spaceship or Starwar.

Small bits of information released carefully and without revealing too much generate more interest on the whole than no information. With small amounts of information, people begin to speculate and discuss, leading to greater levels of interest.

Exactly. What I mean is that the news released today, in this threat, has already touched the line. No further news should be release on the current respect. Maybe more news on other stuffs, yet I cannot make any instance for the time being.

No I have the scanner, but its broke

Careful Hot, I will ban you! :E

[Przemek]

Argh, can't wait for this to finally be out!

Anyone has the scans? PM me, please

 

[Rossell]

If anyone has the PCZ scans, please PM me with them

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

[DigiQ8]

Pi is angry D:

[ríomhaire]

Scans anyo...*bant*

 

[drunkymonkey]

I personally can't wait to fight with Grigori again. It would be awesome (although it will probably only happen in the last chapter, chapter 3), if you, Barney, Alyx, Grigori, Odessa and a bunch of rebels did a huge attack on the Combine.

 

[Rizzo]

I doubt Odessa will be back for another appearance.

Edit: I dont belive Grigori will be back either.

It said that every HL2 character will be back. Considering the amount of backstory Valve made for Odessa, it would seem to be a bit of a waste if he didn't feature.

And if you're referring to the possibility that Grigori died; he didn't. He went down a secret passage, I believe.

 

[hot564231]

i got the mag and it good and alot better than the bloody US pc gamer :\

Don't take that literally. Every character as in, the core cast.

 

[hot564231]

Don't take that literally. Every character as in, the core cast.

eg. mossman, Dr. Breen, Doc K, alyx, dog, frohman(he fit somewhere in the story :O) and Odessa i'm not sure about, maybe in part 2 of the Ep's

 

[Asknoone]

Eli Vance, Alyx Vance, Dog, Wallace Breen, Judith Mossman and Issac Kleiner, basically.

 

[Rizzo]

And dont forget the Freeman!!!

 

[hot564231]

Eli Vance, Alyx Vance, Dog, Wallace Breen, Judith Mossman and Issac Kleiner, basically.

yea just those guy's, and maybe a few new one's as well, oh well we'll find out soon enough

 

[ríomhaire]

I doubt Gregori will return. And I really doubt he'll join the rebels against the Combine.

 

[Max35]

More than likely, but unless there was another quote you can't know that for certainty.

 

[drunkymonkey]

Oh well. It would be funny to see him talk to Barney or Kleiner.

 

[Zeus]

If you stick around long enough in ravenholm you see gregori die..I am sorry. Did you guys really think he could survive that huge fire and all those zombies?

 

[ríomhaire]

He doesn't always. I nocliped to see once and he had disapeared :O

 

[0mar]

If you stick around long enough in ravenholm you see gregori die..I am sorry. Did you guys really think he could survive that huge fire and all those zombies?

of course he survived. Badasses like Grigori don't die..

 

[Hackerman]

Hellz yea, Grigori was the shit, theres no way in hell he died, unless I hear it from Newell himself.

Awesome, but its May 31st, the release date. Any new screens?

 

[ríomhaire]

SPOILERS FROM xirow's SCANS!
1- What seems to be Alyx working on a control panel at the base of the citadel. A bubble (blue, not orange) is visable and what is possibly Breen's head is within (not facing you though strangly enough)

2- Misc street, Alyx shooting at something unseen. Building with the 3 Combine letters on the wall. Recked cars.

3- Alyx and Dog in a ruined area talking to Eli on the screen seen in the trailer.

4- Base of the citadel? A walkway in the background is colapsing. Alyx (who may have been superimposed on this one) is shieling herself from something. Also in the background things are falling including at least 1 body. Some falling things are disintegrating (á la power cores)

The disintergrating, falling body (on the left) looks like a stalker.

And I don't know if it really is Breen's head in the bubble on the first screen. It is very hard to see, it could be just a spot on the bubble.

 

[Lincoln]

Hook me up.

Well, I can't see Breens head, though if it is Breens bubble, it amuses me that he's trapped within it.

Its either:

The base of the reactor, and thats a swelling ball of energy below it.
Breens bubble.

 

[kattmat]
