www.Vossey.com made an interview with doug Lombardi during the ects, if u havn't heard about it it's because the interview is only avalaible in french.
the interview can be found here: http://www.vossey.com/dossier.php?id=130 (in french...)
Screenshot of the ects there http://www.vossey.com/screenshots/ECTS2003

Let me do a crappy-but-still-readable translation:



Can you confirm the 30 september for the launch of hl2
Yes. There is no change in the release date. The date is worldwide. As well in france as england.

How will the release happen?
There will be 2 way to buy hl2: classic way (in a shop)
or via steam.

You'll be able to download updates and acquire new mods (you could acquire the mod freely or you'll must pay, depending on the mod) with steam.

Why don't you give more info about hl2?
We want the players to discover the game, the weapon, the story,... You will have more info once the game is released.

mods such as cs, dod, tfc are more than supported by valve. How will it happens for cs2 and dod2 (who will use the hl2 engine) for instance?
Valve want to intesify it's support for the mods. For cs, tfc and dod, members of the team are currently working on it. Moreover we'll continue the Mod expo to support the other mods. We want to help people who want to create a mod by providing tools and services they could not have (somewhere else).
No date yet for cs2, dod2 etc...
[note: Doug Lombardi didn't want to say a word about the how far they are realised)

Will hl2 be developed on other platform(than pc)?
Yes it will be available on xbox. The game will be available on wbox but not before 2004. The partnership with with microsoft is not exclusive and we will also see for sony and nintendo.

During the alcataz presentation will there be a playable version of hl2?
You'll have to be there to know...

Thanks to answer our question


Sorry for my bad english but they are really interesting informations (release date and cs2, dod2,tf2). so i think it worth the crappy translation ;)
 
he translated it from another language... what exactly do you expect.

No I didnt, I couldnt be bothered, besides this isnt new info.
 
Thanks: this is better than the Babelfish translation we had before.
 
at least, I should be understandable ?!
I don't personally care, cause I'm french, and I've already read the french interview, heh
 
Valve will present HL² on the Alcatraz island. We don't know more.
 
omg I cant believe the amount of assholeness that somepeople seem to posess HE DID NOT HAVE TO TRANSLATE THE ****ING THING FOR YOU!!!! HE DID YOU A FAVOR!!! jesus go to hell

THANK YOU FOR THE INTERVIEW IT WAS GOOD

Big complaint, I said the spelling was poor:upstare:

I'd rather read a translation with bad spelling then read french ;)
 
its gonna be for sony and nintendo!!!

Anyway, not dissin anyone here...but am I right in saying nintendo arent popular with thier cube ?, big mistake valve
 
Yeah the point is. He translated from the french one for us. If you dont like the quality but can't do beter yourself (or cant be bothered to do beter for that mater) then dont complain.

Nothing to do with me though. But peoples opinions of you may just have droped. :(
 
lol i still love you bass hahahah i just felt like takeing out some anger

no

"...and we will also see for sony and nintendo."
 
I could see this *possibly* workin on the GC but no way for the PS2 unless the graphics undergo a major decrease in quality.
 
Thanks. This thread should be renamed to "Bass is a phucking moron lets flame him"
 
Game cube is very good despite what most people say. I personaly dont own one. But I know for a fact they work well. Look at the most recent resident evil for example. I remember that looking pretty nice :)
 
Easiest way to get outa being flamed is to type



I aM VERrY vERY DRuNk


In big leters. :p
 
Hahah thats alright faked drunkeness is useless.
Flamers can do their thing, doesnt bother me.
 
oh and while I am here.


I am moveing tomorrow. Dont expect me to post again till next friday at the earliest. :(


How am I suppost to live without internet :'( :'( :'(

I mean what If I miss something important. Then what! ;( :x
 
MarksmanHL2 :) I think you will live....



But I would certainly hope all the remaining HL2 videos get released, as well as new footage, a hundred interviews, a thousand still images, and a playable demo would be released while you are gone. That would just be hilarious!
 
Yeah, it would.............



Actualy I wouldent mind much. At least then its all there when I get back instead of waiting some more :p

But still, I would rather discover it all bits at a time with you guys. God damn community spirit!
