Our Valve tour (56k beware)

[Javert]

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Though couldn't you shrink the pics down a little bit? I mean 2500px isn't really necessary.

Not enough. ^_^

Great gh0st.

 

[eddie500]

isn't that just the box art for the us edition as europe gets a dvd type box... :/

 

[tokin]

Planethalflife.com is visting tomorrow getting pictures and recording his interviews. It won't be posted until Sunday morning though.

 

[Gorgon]

Awesome Ghost, great job.

edit: so they kept the HDR technology after all. Thx valve :cheers:

 

[Crusader]

It is already confirmed that HDR is in the game @ whoever asked ^^

 

[Qwertywasd]

Thanks for the info

[tokin]

There won't be any new info, and if there is, HLR will have made it up or twisted words..

HLRADIO is pretty wack. Although we are surely getting more pics from ghOst, planethalflife, and HLRADIO. Plus interviews and voice recordings, maybe even some video footage, who cares about that though.

 

[Cyber$nake]

WHAT? WHO CARES ABOUT VIDEO FOOTAGE? You have got to be kidding me...

 

[eddie500]

well me for a start lol

 

[dura]

Thanks for actually asking a few worthwhile questions.

 

[A True Canadian]

Painkiller had a T-shirt as well as Global Operations and many other games. They were all like L/XL anyways. BTW took a trip to Canada the other day, went to St.Johns and St.Andrews...sound familiar? In Maine for the summer on the coast. Quite cold but beautiful.

New Brunswick has very nice scenery, unfortunately, I've never been. And I view our Canadian summers as comfortable instead of schorching. I hope it wasn't too cold for you.

I didn't know that Painkiller included a T-Shirt. I would't matter for me because I'm 6'4", but I think Valve will include some sort of coupoon for free shipping and handling. I still cannot see them including an extra large T-Shirt. Aren't there different designs as well? They'd need to take that into consideration.

Thanks again gh0st. This has cleared up many of my questions. :thumbs:

 

[Gunner]

Cool pictures!

Pre-Ordered from EBGAMES as a special offer timing and Painkiller and a T-shirt came in the mail.

 

[BerserkForces]

[DigiQ8]

[Vegeta897]

Where is the whiteboard pic? You said you would get one?

:|

 

[Sparta]

Nice work man, thats awesome.

 

[Mr Neutron]

I'm wondering if gh0st is aware of the HDR vid already released. Are you sure it wasn't the one of the big antlion on the city roof? If it is, much of your info is thrown into doubt: if you don't know what we know (speculate) already, you may not parse your words for complete unambiguity. You lose all your credibility! Good day to you, sir.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

He said walking through a city street with HDR. I think it's new. But if not oh well he screwed up. What's with the conspiracy Mr Neutron? Jesus.... Just because of one screwup you think he never went.............. Stupid stupid stupid

Awesome work though and awesome questions!!! I"m glad to hear about VAC 2

This is one of the best yet!

i never said that video was new, i said i saw it, and it was awesome. you speak such pristine english, now all you need to do is comprehend it

oh i thought its new damn

 

[Sparta]

Did you ask them anything aobut multiplayer?

 

[gh0st]

whats to ask? most of my questions will be asked when i playtest. i threw in a hidden dod:s question but i think they are still pretty tightlipped about dod and tfc.

 

[Neutrino]

Wait, so it may have been the old 2003 HDR techdemo? Not accusing, just curious.

dont suppose you asked how big we should expect HL to be? or if people who got the coupon with an ATI card can upgrade the the special edition via steam? or how many CD's HL2 will be? or if CS:S has a different CD design to the HL2 only CDs? heh... I could go on. and trust me if I got the chance to go to VALVe they'd have to get security to escort me out, cos I wouldn't shut up

How big HL2 or HL? HL2 will be around 3GB Gabe said.

 

[craig]

Yeah, I meant HL2. 3GB unpacked though? Which equates to how many CD's packed up, or how many GB to download via steam..

See! See! My point was that other people just assumed it was new, not that you were a lying troll. Methinks it is others who can't detect sarcasm without emoticons who lack comprehension skills. pwndeded!

 

[ZEROarmy]

Now I'm even more lost to where to buy HL2.

 

[guise]

was there just one template for the hl2 cd design....

i noticed it had cd1 on it...

but if there were more did you see how many cds it would be?

 

[ShadowFox]

Did you ask how many CDs it will come on?

 

[craig]

Now I'm even more lost to where to buy HL2.

buy it in the shop. then you get all the pretty artwork.

 

[Sideswiped]

oi, absolutely no need to post fullsized digi photos. meh

Uh then dont attack the "troll" with a thousand more posts than you, chump.

 

[Sparta]

So i take it the HDR demo was the one from last year?

 

[gh0st]
