Favourite Vid and why?

[chriso20]

Out of the OFFICIAL vids ONLY what's your favourite and why?

Different things get different people hyped;

My fav is the traptown, because it shows excellent character AI, zombies with no legs crawling, using pre-designed 'death-aids' (as i shall now call them) [the swinging girder things and the 'nade to blow out the supports for that skip/bin], oh and the excellent manipulator .

What bout you?

I believe this poll has already been posted.

 

[chriso20]

i couldn't find it when i searched so my mistake (unless u mean my other one without the poll? lol sorry about that everyone)

 

[SMT]

Anyway, I'd pick Striders. It showcases a wide spectrum of the game's features: shaders, new weaponry, physics, AI, and sound. Lovely.

 

[Seppo]

Traptown is my favourite, simply because it shows the physics in action better than the other vids

 

[Dead-Inside]

Kleiner's lab... Alyyyxxxxx.......xxx....

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

coastline...I dunno there's just something about the setting.

Barricade, gotta love the tactical squad A.I. and enemy A.I.

also, it has Barney, my next favourite character after G-man from the HL universe.

That's my second choice, because of all the same reasons. Barney Calhoun is the best.
Vote: Kleiner's lab. It just seems like it could be any real movie.
BTW, this just hit me: Has anyone translated what G-man says in the BINK?

The chinese? Yes, it's an old line from HL1. Something he says if you don't join him at the end, IIRC...

"It looks like we shalln't be working together."?

Yeah - I just love the humungous environment. It definately showcases the best arcade style action + driving + music + sound effects and obviously the graphics.

"It looks like we shalln't be working together."?

That's the bunny.

Y'know, I reckon I can't choose a clear favourite...

 

[Some_God]

Traptown shows off physicsa and AI... damn I just creamed my pants.

 

[FoB_Ed]

I like the strider video best, because when the strider blew up the bridge with that warping cannon thingy I almost crapped my pants it looked so awesome.

 

[DevgruSeal]

AHHHHHH STRIDERRRRR!!!

I like the Strider vid cause the striders just look awesome! lol..

 

[KurtCobain]

Its gotta be Trapdown....Nice A.I. , Physics and use of the Manipulator (Throwing the matress and stuff down the stairs to block off the combines) nice demonstration of the traps that Father G. has set and nice zombie action.

Yeah but that's what makes it bad, the logic.
"Throwing the matress and stuff down the stairs to block off the combines"
Oh no! Teh Matress and various hygienic products!! All our base are belong to them! They r 2 1337!

 

[Asuka]

Traptown #1 Tunnels #2

Heheehhe...

But seriously, try blocking your way in a narrow staircase with a matress. Passing through it is harder than you would expect

After that, try sliding the stairs down ON the matress just for fun, it's scary

The way you word this makes you sound like you've done it in the leaked version. Could this be? :O

 

[oldagerocker]

Tunnels, it shows the Manhacks! The I-Rifle, the soldiers, Alyx, the alien tentacle thiing Inside the city itself, and its good stuff, great vid. They all rock though

 

[lans]

Basically all the videos were cool - HL2 didn't won almost EVERY E3 2003 best of show award for nothing, it just simply blew away the whole competition.heh.

The "alien tentacle thiing" is hydra.

I thought it was an electrical eel to begin with :|

When i saw that for 1st time i was like wow insane stuff.

 

[Kazuki_Fuse]

My favorite by a smidgen is Tunnels. It shows some of the awesome one on one combat in the game, it also reminds me of bits in HL1 atmospheric wise. I just loved watching gordon take down that combine close range with the pistol. All the movies are great though and show off individually different gameplay. My least favorite is the Psyche vid.

 

[<RJMC>]

I choose coastline cuz are more action

 

[Warrior King]

traptown, yea. For the physics and the propeller thing. Sweeeeeeeeeet

 

[The Monkey]

What about the e3 2k4 video? THAT is the best video.

But I wanted to take a close look at the blood-splattered booth with the body in.

 

[chriso20]

I dont like the idea of hydra, it reminds me of the ghosty things from final fantasy the movie. Just a bit... toooo... weird.

 

[PvtRyan]

My favorite vid is 'Anna takes it up the ass XIV'

Oh... favorite HL2 vid? Mm kay... I guess Coastline or Tunnels.

 

[dangerousdarrin]

Traptown. If I had to pick another, it'd be Bugbait.

 

[Katana]

Traptown!
Showing what kind of traps and cool things you could make when you have lovley physics like this

cant wait until hl2 and new Hammer is released, gonna make the coolest indiana jones-maps where you get hunted by big stones rolling behind you.... horror!

edit: Second best is Tunnels
Really like the atmosphere wich they have done really nice.. when you hear those flying things come, bouncin of the walls and fences, crushing wood etc The sound, the sparkles, lovley

 

[Xenome]

Tunnels, it's so... half-life'ish

 

[VeZ]

Trap Town, the sound at the beginning, and walking inside and those lovely graphics...oh how i will push as hard as my ti4200 will go to get graphics like in that video..
