The binks.

evil^milk · Jun 17, 2004

Assuming that Greg has got his inbox full, and knowing for a fact that Valve members check these forums, well, I thought I'd ask...

Are the binks done and ready to be distributed?

If you're going to flame, go ahead, but don't get the thread closed

EDIT: The e3 2004 ones.

Maxi · Jun 17, 2004

Spidey sense says that greg won't reply to this.

(god, i've always wanted to say that)

Odd thing to always have wanted to say.. lol

I hope we see the Binks soon, it'd tide me over for awhile

Duracell · Jun 17, 2004

He probably won't reply, Probably quite busy. But I should think the they are nearly ready to go out on steam!

(I thought spidey sense only detected danger

)

I too would love the new vids in Bink format!

Ownzed · Jun 17, 2004

Yeah they look good in Bink format.

GhostBoi · Jun 17, 2004

Greg looked at this thread and left...maybe he's going to get them released!!! :dork: ok... I'll shut up now...

Runteh · Jun 17, 2004

They would look amazing in bink format, especially the strider scenes.

tokin · Jun 17, 2004

Even though they have mentioned those videos would be released in Bink format, I dont think they will do it now because surely they are focusing on releasing this game late next month or August.

evil^milk · Jun 17, 2004

Greg looked at this thread and left...

Cool, but... how do you really know?

EDIT: Steam's updating... hm...

hehe, 123 posts

EDIT2: It was something else, no binks yet...

Citizen 1150421 · Jun 17, 2004

obiwanquinobi · Jun 17, 2004

GhostBoi · Jun 17, 2004

Just look at a person's public profile and it shows you where they are. :E

Halflife2.net's forums are new? Hmm... I wonder where I've been lurking since september last year then?

SubKamran · Jun 17, 2004

Man, I so want them...something to do while I sit here in pain after my EIGHT teeth being pulled. Greg, have mercy.

i pulled 6 of em in a month, stop whining

A True Canadian · Jun 17, 2004

If they released two videos per week, one each from the two E3 booths, then that would go well into the rumored release date of "this summer".

wtf?!Why eight?

Hazar · Jun 17, 2004

So you did have them pulled all at once. How's it going?

Oh, back to topic. I don't think valve will release the binks just since they're trying to get it out. I could be wrong. It probably depends on how hard/time consuming it is to get them in binks.

oh no, not THAT again (remembers last september)

A True Canadian · Jun 17, 2004

Of course, including the Binks exclusively in the Collector's Edition would be another route I could se Valve taking, a la the CS:CZ deleted scenes.

Tommorow's the day.

And second, I hope they release them with AA and AF and full detail.

Something I always wondered: do they drink Clearly Canadian in Canada? Or is it just a marketing ploy like "Fosters: Australian for Beer"?

A True Canadian · Jun 17, 2004

We can drink other beer if we want to, but our beer tastes better

. Plus there's a higher alcohol content.

He's talking in the long term - I've seen forums that are 5 or 6 years old.

Apos · Jun 17, 2004

They will probably release them via BT, if at all, not via steam like they did before. Steam has enough to worry about, bandwidth wise. In fact, that may be why they won't be released anytime soon: they are saving up all their bandwidth bucks for the upcoming releases.

What would be the point of including Bink videos of the game, with the game :upstare: ?

Valve did release the E3 2003 vids on a seperate CD-ROM that came with CS:CZ. Everyone wants them, why not make them exclusive? But you're right, what would be the point as you'll be experiencing greater things while playing the game.

Apos · Jun 17, 2004

Yeah, but they were los-res, bad compression on the cd. Everyone would rather get the full versions.

Xenome · Jun 17, 2004

Yea I think the bink should be released very soon ( in high res-full screen) .. valve themselves said they now are reminded again how much they owe to the community, well this is a good start

Daiceman9 · Jun 17, 2004

Wern't the vids on the CS:CZ cd for HL2?

SubKamran · Jun 17, 2004

Someone from Valve (I think Rick) said they'll be out very soon.

Didn't they say the same thing about the SDK?

evil^milk · Jun 17, 2004

Well, they said a lot of things

marty905 · Jun 17, 2004

just like doug said the SDK would be out in a few weeks bak in january...and its still not out
