What's your favourite Steam video?

[SerialCarpens]

Whats your guyzzz' favorite hl2 vid????

OKAY, ITS THE QUESTION THATS ON EVERYBODYS MIND!!!!

Which one's the best?

 

[Mr.Magnetichead]

Tunnels.

Gorgeous twisted pipes of doom + Flaregun + Sexy Alyx + Burning combine + Manhacks = Tops.

 

[Lifthz]

Tunnels by far. The music is just too much.

 

[Siirolon]

Tunnels, almost only for the fact that I haven't seen it before. Sure, it's cool as well.

 

[Axyon]

For now, Bugbait, the ragdoll physics were fantastic in this video.

You didn't see it? IGN was the first one with HL2 E3 footage, they had it. It was broken up into different vids though.

They were? I thought they were a bit choppy because it seemed weird when the Ant Lions hit them. Tunnels was smoother.

 

[Loke]

Good thread.

Bugbait is surely my favourite. Long, very nice action, you get a gleam of the new Machinegun, awesome Xen aliens, very nice sound effects, nice ragdoll physics, you get to see the badass Antlion Guard.

Yep, that’s the things that I got impressed about in the video.

 

[Lifthz]

Forget Bugbait. Tunnels OWNS. Music, Combine shot up in head with fire-starter gun, or whatever, combine falls down the starwell, water, nasty pistol shot/reload sounds...

Yes, i'm obsessed with Tunnels.... it's mostly the music that threw me over the edge.

 

[Guest]

Tunnels got the rag doll physics, Hydra reflection on the water surface I loved that. The petrol gun gives you the best virtual fire, never seen before in a game. I voted for Tunnels……

Must everyone be like you and choose the “Tunnels”? Let peoples choose whatever they want.

 

[Lifthz]

I'm just expressing what I feel, no harm done. Lol. Noone's forcing anyone into anything here.

Nah, there were alot more instances of good ragdoll physics here, the way the Combine either slumped down against a wall or on the floor, or the way they slide across the ground when the Ant Lion Guard knocks them, it was all beautiful to watch. I loved it.

Postal 2, Unreal 2......

 

[Lifthz]

Unreal 2 has some really good fire... the game gets no respect other than graphics though.

 

[Guest]

Yes thats true, but did you see the fire (HL2), its very close to real fire.

 

[jbscotchman]

I'll have to say Tunnells. The water effects are simply amzing and the music was perfect, allthough I really loved the fast paced music in bugbait even though there wasn't that much. This game is going to sound great!

No, so stop it. Let people say what they like about their video.

 

[Loshadka]

Neither of them. But I think that the one with Barney is going to be my favourite.

 

[Guest]

Yes barney is going to be the second best after strider or the Car.

 

[jbscotchman]

Damn I forgot all about the Barney video. I love when Gordon tosses that grenade and that dudes body launches in the air and lands on the car in front of him.

Lol. Sorry, I didn't know I was stopping anyone...

I didn't like that part because his body just suddenly stopped awkwardly, it didn't land fully...

 

[Guest]

How, the body starts bouncing twice before and after it hit the ground. Also the odd thing that the body did not fragment a bit, it should v been some body parts every where when the grenades exploded. Do you agree?

Nah, I didn't bother downloading it. Seeing it in hires for the first was also cool.

 

[jbscotchman]

"Also the odd thing that the body did not fragment a bit, it should v been some body parts every where when the grenades exploded"

Hmm, good point I never thought about that.

 

[Axyon]

That appeared to be a frag grenade, which don't usually remove limbs, just shred them.

 

[Guest]

OK, where is their blood, or the green alien blood. not a thing.

 

[Loke]

Maybe they turned it off so they couldn’t gib, to show of the physics.

 

[Mr.Magnetichead]

Despite what youve seen in movies grenades to not turn bodies into little tiny gibs and giant puddles of blood.

It should v been. Cause it is called realistic games. In the barny vid the combine soldier stand over 60 meter above the ground when he got killed he crashed and bounced of the ground without any single bit of blood and for realistic game play his head should v completely fragment. :cheers:

 

[Loke]

I hope that HL2 has realistic "gib" damage. Not that hearts, lungs, brain etc. fly all over the place.
I mean like arms, legs rip of on the body, which gives a much more game play to the game... for me though.

Not if hes in a body suit and wearing a full head helmet.

 

[LoneDeranger]

Right now it's bugbait, because of the really cool reflections and bump mapping on the tiles and the OICW scope Great sound and music too.

I also like the creepy music in traptown when the zombies come out.

 

[synth]

Definitely Traptown. That showed off most of the physics engine, the AI, and all the cool stuff you can do with it.

 

[Skull]

WTF?! am I the only one that thinks Kleiner's Lab is the best so far ?
It shows a close-up on Alyx (and Kleiner) and it looks AWESOME! It has a very detailed environment with supercool tanks of orange liquid in 'em that looks sooo real..and then a little humor on the side, and an incredible ending with a strider blowing a hole in the wall.
the other ones are cool too of course, but they don't have the .. umm.. hrrm... cool things that "kleiner's lab" has
Does anyone else agree ? =)

 

[Nuclear_Gerber]

G-Man.
I rather play the maps, not watching them being played by someone else.

btw, if they release the tech demo, then I'd change my vote. Tech demo owns so much I cant ignore it.

 

[Loke]

About the OICW scope, is it really real-time reflections on it?

Yep .. it's pretty obvious when he walks out the door after shooting the sentrys.

Ah, got to check that out. Thanks for the info.

 

[Anwar]

I like the sky box in all the outdoor vids they look very real.

 

[BWMASTER]

its a 3d sky....no more skybox...lol
