Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast -- Released

[Chris D]

It's official. The Lost Coast will be released this evening (in a few moments actually). As you all should know, The Lost Coast is free for all owners of Half-Life 2.[br]Though anyone can play it on their lower-end system, to appreciate the full benefits of The Lost Coast, you will need a high end machine to play. Lost Coast features some excellent graphical features including HDR, double resolution textures and much higher-polygon models (and much more).[br]The Lost Coast will contain around 15 minutes of brand new game play, set around parts of the City 17 coastal area that was originally cut from the game.[br]Watch this space for an announcement as to when it is released.[br]UPDATE: Half-Life 2: The Lost Coast has now been released. Restart your Steam clients to play.

15 minutes? That's even lower than I expected... which wasn't much in the first place... Hope its worth it

 

[diluted]

Awesome.
In 10 minutes, yeah? Don't they usually release stuff at 4 PM on the west coast?

 

[hool10]

W0000000T! :bounce:

Doug said "in just a few moments".

SixThree, it's been known it was 15 minutes for ages. I know you're not, but don't start complaining... you'll get newbies shouting, fainting and dying over the fact that it's "too short" ;(

Remember, it IS just a tech demo.

 

[Drax]

I don't care how short it is, it's another piece to my favorite game series.

Can't wait.

I didn't know it was 15 minutes And thanks for noting that I wasn't complaining, I'm just slightly shocked.

It's literally just one map as far as I know.

Haven't been paying attention much eh? I think Valve has said more than once that it was just a 15 minute map. Although I'm sure you could stretch it out to 60 minutes by just admiring the scenery..

 

[jsnake]

This is great news. *Waits for the flood of people*

 

[SimonomiS]

I'd rather watch a video of someone playing through it with awesome specs. Think anyone will do that?

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

So someone needs to eat a hat, and several people look like fools after thier comments. YAY!

FTW!!

 

[Chris D]

Oh, I did forget to mention. Don't forget there's sort of like a "director's commentary" with Valve staff talking you through various points of the game. This will tell you more about the technology, story of Half-Life 2 (probably to a lesser extent) and the making of the game/s.

 

[hool10]

I'm actually trembling right now, lol! I paid over $200 for this video card and I wanna see it shine! *runs to the bathroom* :dork:

[Asknoone]

His reason "I pulled something out my ass"

VALVe has learned, they won't give a date unless they are sure of it now, last week when they said it would be this week, I believed them. Look at DoD:S, it was released when they said it would be aswell.

 

[Chris D]

im not at *slirp* libbberty to ssssayy, *pause* mr.ChrisD,

Of course you can. Which would suggest that you're speaking shite.

Unless of course you have a reason for the fact that Doug Lombardi has told me that it will be released today?

 

[Asknoone]

omgwtf its sooooooooooooo short!!!! valve is teh suxxor :angry:

Theres always one. Ah well, banishment.

 

[Drax]
