EDIT: No, there is something in it.

It's the hydra!

Well on a serious note, Valve really knows how much to reveal to make the waiting that little bit harder for us.

It was actually a car, strangely enough :p

I got the impression it was kind of like a mine car for some reason. I was picturing Indiana Jones with a gravity gun.






...COOL.

edit: ^ D:
 
ditto. mine car type thing. or one of those metal coffin on a wire things...

Same man. Not only that but just games in general and how the insane ones leave a impact on your life. Makes you appreciate the talent involved in making great games even more.
 
That trailer made me believe VALVe when they said they can now make better HL2 content. And considering how good HL2 is... oh boy...
 
I cant believe how slow HL2.net news writers are
they didnt even post anything about the trailer or the new Steam update

MOVE PEOPLE !
 
I dig some of the set pieces in the trailer, especially the gunship crashing down. It wasn't as gripping as the HL2 E3 videoes, but close enough.
 
I think its far more gripping than any of the old E3 videos.

As for the car, if you have the vid on high quality you'll see Alyx actually has her hands on a steering wheel.

Have you disagree there. the E3 trailers have a bit more oomph, and were better presented (ie the blackouts, the haunting music, the set pieces). This one was quite good though.

Must be a requirement in Source-engine based episodic content to have the chick drive the car :LOL:

And you're right - this is far more gripping -- because it's far more "cinematic" -- than the E3 videos.

dude, you need to keep that to yourself.
 
WTF? How did the antlions get inside the city?

I loved the scene when the bridge in citadel gets destroyed and combine soldiers falling to their death.

With the Citadel falling apart and the Combine forces in disarray, the outside world is able to enter City 17.
 
it looks really good...except where alyx kicked the zombie..that was just stupid.
 
I'm digging this like 29 citadels on a planet full of plentiful resources.

I like how they've got some background action in the remote cameras: I mean in the part where you see Mossman, with Resistance fighters running past in the background. Detail like that can really suck you into the world...

I can plainly see that in my shit-tastic quality one.
 
Whats with that car? it is going through the citadel

Somebody mentioned Mecha Breen was shown in the trailer, where abouts?

after broken bridge, in time 00:38 he is not seen, but shadows or silhouette...just look slow-mo and you see it

That was a very bad pun.
That'll be because "A pun (also known as paronomasia) is a figure of speech which consists of a deliberate confusion of similar words or phrases for rhetorical effect, whether humorous or serious. A pun can rely on the assumed equivalency of multiple similar words (homonymy), of different shades of meaning of one word (polysemy), or of a literal meaning with a metaphor." So yes I agree, it's an exceptionally bad pun, what with it not being one at all.

it's on gamershell for dd. anyway, it looks AMAZING! and to the guy that said it showed a 'mecha breen'.. uh.. where?

Mecha Breen = Breen in a host body? This was briefly alluded to before Gordon threw dark energy balls into the dark fusion reactor.

Dude, who cares? It was a very bad simile then...

Maybe the car is Breen's? I think they thought whatever is going on with the bubble as a mech-Breenification process.
 
I am almost entirely convinced that the voice at the end of the trailer is the G-Man, it's just that he doesn't talk so weird when he's pissed off! I guess the fact that he lost control of you and you work for yourself now might explain his pissed-offness.

Sorry, I wasn't aware there was a review board for these kinds of things. Oh, and:

This is an extremely bad case of stating the obvious that was stated around 12 months ago.

:p
 
I guess we do start off at the same exact place....

Let me compile up a list of things that are awesome from this video:
1. Rubble falling from the sky
2.Alyx driving some sort of car, going REALLY fast, going through the citadel while it's getting raped by the dark fusion reactor.
3.The obvious improvement of AI in Alyx. She can kick people when they get close :D.
4.The awesome sequence of that blue energy growing.
5.More Strider sequences
6.Signs of destruction everywhere. Smoke, fires, you name it.
7.Ant Guards killing Combine (We, of course, are smart enough to dodge their attacks :))
8.The fact that the video is over a minute long.

Edit: As for the thing inside that bubble, it could either be:
A:The core of the energy
B:Some sort of synth...?
C:Where I stopped it, it KIND OF looks like Breen in a crouching position.

I cannot provide a picture, because the media player comes out black.
