Strider is Drivable Veihicle

Brian Damage · Apr 22, 2004

Hmmmmm... that gives me an idea about what the HL2 multiplayer might be... perhaps some kind of team-based battle, where one side is the restisance, or whatever they're called, and the other is the Combine... maybe the Combine have Striders on their team...?

That kind of thing might just get me playing multiplayer games...

Maxi · Apr 22, 2004

Ugh, I have a feeling that that wa MISSQUOTE.

el Chi · Apr 22, 2004

What about the Striders thing? No I don't think it was - I'm practically positive I saw Valve saying that they'd messed about with playable Striders, but that it was mainly for their own amusement, almost definitely not with the game itself (certainly not for SP as Striders are not vehicles. However I'm simply speculating that it could be a promising and amusing mod

Brian Damage · Apr 22, 2004

Yes... I reckon they're some kind of biomechanoid...

Point is, what if you can play them in the multiplayer?

Dowie · Apr 22, 2004

No the PC Gamer Team talked to Valve RECENTLY and they said they were thinking of making the strider drivable for the full game! not just for messing about. k?

Brian Damage · Apr 22, 2004

Yes, and we've already said that we think that that was them misinterpreting a bit of the HL2.net info, not talking to VALVe. Exact quote, please?

Dowie · Apr 22, 2004

fine if it is so important

"Valve recently let slip they were toying with turning the strider into a drivable veihicle"

Fender357 · Apr 22, 2004

Your "quote" says nothing about it being in the final game.

Don't worry....I'll find the original quote to make you be quiet.

No, they didn't

Fender357 · Apr 22, 2004

HERE IS THE EXACT F@CKING QUOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would it be possible in a mod to take a bipedal type robot about as tall as the strider and make it driveable while still having it respond realistically to physics?

Gabe Newell: Yes. We made the Strider a vehicle for our own amusement.

So there you have it..........they did it for FUN........not for THE GAME.........

This thread IS OVER!

[edit] and your source sucked so freaking much...... [/edit]

Look above you.............. :E

Element Alpha · Apr 23, 2004

I must say the idea really intrigues me. A mod with supertall robots would be kind of cool, wether they're striders or not. But they should be available in limited numbers so that most would be on foot, and get to watch those huge things fight alongside of them, but be able to radio targets to the guys riding the striders.

/strange idea mode

Oh yeah, also, there could be a strider racing mod, maybe with some platforming (jumping from platform to platform with striders must look funney). There could also be power ups like in mario kart

I also was thinking about a mod a la "the sims", except it would be with a strider family.

/strange idea mode off

Someone needs to implement the drivable strider idea (if not, I will, in about 3 years from now)

el Chi · Apr 23, 2004

Strider vs. Strider or even Team 1: Resistance fellas fighting Team 2: Striders. Team 1 > Team 2, natch.
Personally I thnk Strider would have to be played in 3rd Person. So there. Obey el Chi. All of you.

Maxi · Apr 23, 2004

I'm just going to keep posting this quote till everyone gets it.........

It isn't going to be in the game...........they did it for fun........but it is possible for a mod to do it........

Sprafa · Apr 23, 2004

Valve was just fecking around with the game and realized that they could make it a vehicle. But they didn't

edit:Fender beat me to it ^^

Brian Damage · Apr 23, 2004

By roughly two hours...

this sucks

the most awesome part of this thread is the fact that it was my question to gabe which caused all this ruckus. i feel honored for having been the cause of the release of that little bit of info.

the reason i asked about whether or not pilotable physically simulated bipedal robots could exist in hl2 was because i wanted to know if someone could make a battlefield-ish mechwarrior mod that was true to its battletech roots, not like this over simplified arcadey stuff they have out now coughmechwarrior4,mechassault,mechcommandercough, must be catching a cold

Pi Mu Rho · Apr 26, 2004

The tripod isn't a biped

Mechagodzilla · Apr 26, 2004

Since the strider isn't going to be pilotable in-game, maybe they could make a strider-POV expansion pack?

They already gave you the POV of a security guard, three scientists, and a marine, so why not?

Even if your e-mail was the cause of it.......it was also the solution to it......because some people don't know how to interpret words properly.

And lets not get to haisty Mechagodzilla.

You could say "why they make a POV exansion for everything in the game!?!!?"

but that would be dumb......

Flyingdebris · Apr 27, 2004

i know i biped isn't a tripod, thats why i asked the question

SpoBo · Apr 28, 2004

It's made driveable for fun so that could mean : The thing isn't operated by a combine but simply an alien lifeform. And also .. kickass mods

Acert93 · Dec 12, 2004

Striders are drivable

Neat mod, hopefully some other mods pick this code up (with permission of course) and use it. Just needs a little tweaking.
