Perhaps a Media Countdown?

[BoS]

I was just thinking (it's really late and I come up with wierd ideas at 2:30AM), what if Valve is holding off on new media and releasing info for a big September media countdown. Think of it like the 12 days of Christmas, but now it's 30 days of HL2, or something like it. Everyday they'll release a new screen shot, concept art, video, interview, any kind of information. Day 30, BAM! You got your game in your hand and you're totally siked! I think it would be a good marketing ploy. Each day closer means a better, more exciting piece of media or information. If they don't do it like that, I think they should, but, what do you think? Good idea for Valve to do a "one a day" kinda thing starting in September?

Maybe.

i think they will start pumping the media out come september. Maybe they'll kick it off by giving us the sdk?

I like the idea but I doubt it

pleeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzz!


It would be mighty fine if this is the case. But i doubt it unforutunatly.

The SDK is not being released to the general public before HL2 is released.

That has never been said. They've said that the SDK will be available to the public as soon as they think it's ready. We'll have to see after the Seattle Workshop.

i dont know about you, but i think its bad if they start pumping out media before the game is released.. i want to know as little as possible about hl2 before i start playing it..
the amount of vids and pictures they have released to this date is enough for me.. maybe a couple of new videos, but thats it

maybe its just me?

 

[noQ]

I agree with Mackan. I don't want to know everything about the game before it is released.-.-.

 

[DaLys]

We have enough movies imo. Some more concept arts pics would be nice tho.

 

[lonestar]

i agree with mackan, noq, and dalys.

 

[ray_MAN]

I want to know the official relese date and I will set my chryogenic sleep until the day before. I just want the SDK and 2 vids and thats it.
