[Asuka]

Reading Now WOOT!

 

[iamaelephant]

Holy shit, I'm not going to finish this. This article is possibly the most boring, long winded pile of sugar coated crap I have ever read. At least three time per page they try to make me feel sorry for Valve. Yawn.

 

[bliink]

Wow 25 pages....

I'm done

uhh.. saving it to disk that is..

 

[iamaelephant]

God this is such a load of crap, I sure the writer must be getting oral sex from Gabe or something.

For years Newell had worked to make Valve a safe creative haven for the best and brightest in the business. He was the video game equivalent of the X-Men's Professor X, running his own school for the gifted.

This whole article is a joke.

Quit yer bellyaching

 

[cereal]

I'm pretty far, and its good. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Robin Williams expressed interest in voicing the alien character Voiteguart, but scheduling conflicts prevented him from playing the role).

Wait - THE alien character?

 

[Murray_H]

On that note, one cabal has already started work on what Newell refers to as the "ATI levels," a series of single-player levels that will require a super-high-end graphics card to run. Valve hopes to release those over Steam later this year. Newell is hoping that the other cabals will move on to creating episodic single-player content that will be released in chunks over Steam. One tentative plan calls for Valve to start developing an episodic game that lets players assume the role of Alyx Vance. "I'd love to play a game that tells the story of Alyx and Doc, her pet Robot," Newell says.

Awesome!

 

[Francis_Cole]

The article is cool I think. Maybe too many spoiler though "The alien character"??
But ati levels... YAS

 

[Varsity]

YES!

Heh, they've even got a Codename: Gordon poster!

 

[Hazar]

That was a well written article IMO.

Just got done reading it

When I Read the:
I was sitting on the train at the time browsing my new Internet phone. I was so excited that I fainted...wet my pants and then had my wallet stolen.

Then I woke up on the wrong end of town (London). Read the artical again. Fainted, wet my pants and had my shoes stolen.

Then I woke up in another City. Read the artical again....well...you know how it goes. By the time I made it home I was totally nekked and still excited.

 

[KagePrototype]

An interesting, if overly-pretentious, read.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

I love the not-so subtle references to id software and the bullshit/boring games they produce. Ahh Gabe

Well, I just hate the idea that our games might waste people's time. Why spend four years of your life building something that isn't innovative and is basically pointless?

ahaha Doom 3 lloll

 

[Eternity]

There's a huge spoiler in one of the concept pages. I'm pissed.

 

[AmishSlayer]

At first the team considered designing a game where Gordon would teleport to various planets around the galaxy and combat the Xen aliens from the first game. But Laidlaw says the team ultimately rejected that idea because it would be hard to create continuity between levels.

Oh thank Jesus they didn't go through with that idea. What scares me is the fact that they only scrapped the idea because of the continuity problem...I think that's just a terrible idea to do in the first place. I probably wouldn't buy HL2 if I knew it was going to be like that.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Ultimately, they said. I'm sure there were various other reasons like "that just plain sux"

 

[Ownzed]

Yeah, that would be good but not nearly as good as the original.

 

[GorgeousOrifice]

I read the article, but I didn't look at any of the game design concepts or Ravenholm drawings for obvious reasons.

But now I'm REALLY looking forward to the icebreaker level(s).

You're an absolute class A-1 troll/jerk. Feel free to leave this site and never come back. You obviously have some axe to grind against Valve - even when they admit their mistakes and flaws, it's still not good enough for you. Obviously, NOTHING they do will ever be good enough for you. I really see no reason for you remaining a part of this community. There's the door - feel free to use it.

I hope others feel the same way I do too.

The Borealis level has been cut from the final game.

 

[GorgeousOrifice]

The Borealis level has been cut from the final game.

The article says that a sequence inside the icebreaker's engine room was cut, not that the whole icebreaker sequence was cut.

 

[SFLUFAN]

Hmmm...good point. But from what I understand, the icebreaker sequence "lost" its place in the overall context of the game because the development went in a different direction (this is according to sources on the "unmentionable" HL2 fan site).

Though, we'll find out soon won't we?
