HL2 Possibilities

[flupke]

Hello

I'm reading through the whole "Information from Valve" thread for months now and there's one thing i've been noticing for a long time... A classical example :

"Would it be possible to..."?
"No, but it would be in a mod"

And trust me, i counted at least 50 replies from Gabe or someone else @ Valve saying this. Conclusion : Almost anything will be available in a mod. Which is so cool... Source truly is a next-generation engine with the ability of creating life-like environments & actions.

This is old news, but it just needs a repeat..

I don't like repeats.

It would be better if the source could do the things, that "could be a mod." I guess we can't have everything.

that is the magic of the source engine, all the things valve doesnt think of and dont do, the source engine has the ability to integrate it. giving the mod community the most freedom ever in a game.

I hate it when someone might suggest a really cool idea, or ask a really cool question in the valve info thread and they get a reply saying "We can't be stuffed to/don't want to and would prefer other people to do it." If it's that damn easy to do why don't they include it someway, maybe an optional feature?

Presumably because said feature doesn't fit into the HL2 gameplay.

or they feel it is a conflict with their intentions of what to put into the actual game, and they feel it would be better suited to be included in a mod.

Wouldn't be nice though if Valve just included an unlockable feature called "Cool shit to do in HL2" stuff like driving a strider, or driving a buggy covered in spikes - to name a few egs of cool stuff to do.

/wishful thinking

 

[Harryz]

stuff like driving a strider

Funniest one yet.

 

[slicktick]

Funniest one yet.

Why is that the funniest one, valve has stated they did it before for fun, and it could still be a feature. We dont know.

Well, I drive vehicles and control striders. :E

you can't expect valve to simulate every ****in thing on planet earth and beyond. They try to do as much as they can with the technology, then have the mods branch out and further the technology. This way you have different people with different ideas doing different things to this one engine. Also major things like fluid dyanamics and air dynamics i'm sure they will add to source as the years go by.

Yes, it would be cool if we get do drive striders ^_^

 

[Lobster]

wow DeltaBlast, way to be discreet.

Even if that picture is from the leak (Which it plainly is) then its still damn funny!!!






But still, dont post leak pics. It just makes it seem acceptable to others who are likely to post more and more until we see something we dont want.

striders ARE vehicles...

what did you think it was alive? its a walking tank (litterally)

Bleh, I just had no normal good strider footage lying around

maybe I shouldn't have forgotten to take out the greenscreen part near the joint

I thought striders were alive?
