Has there been confimation?

If so, what sort of new footage would you like to see? (fighting puzzle ''cut scene'')

And if we dont...will you feel let down?
 
Idiot.

There are NO cutscenes.

And yes we will see new footage, gabe said so.
 
"Idiot.

Honestly, people in here need to loosen up a bit.

Im hoping to see some new footage of the latest build of the engine. Anything new would be good, maybe a new location or two, or more vehicle work even:p
 
Some of the people here are little kids that sit here whole day typing on the forums. So they think everyone else is doing the same thing.

No, there have never been cutscenes.

Cutscene is something seen outside of the character you play as, everything in HL and HL2 is seen through Gordans eyes.

I'm at work thanks.
 
Well perhaps you should be more mature instead of calling someone an idiot if they asked if we'll see a cutscene...

Not necessarilly. A cutscene is any scripted sequence while the player has no control of the character. Are you saying a cutscene can't be done in first person? And actually there are also cutscenes that happen while you can control your character, but limited... like Kliener's Lab...

Its seen through Gord's eyes, it is a scripted sequence.
 
Lol. Cutscenes are scripted sequences. Just because it's in first person doesn't mean it's not a cutscene.

Half Life never has a cut scene and you can move around whilst the sequence is going on, its the way half life always has been, thast why gord knocked over the monitor in kleniers lab, you are free to move about.

I called him an idiot because Half life has never had a cutscene in it and Gabe has stated on several occasions that HL2 is all seen through gordans eyes in order to keep the player connected to his character.
 
Oh and Also.. its kinda ironic how you called me an Idiot when

your name's Mr.Magnetichead and your location is : Lambda Core

:)

A cut scene is when it plays out in an exact way and you have no control over your character.

You always have control over gordan.

It's still limited. I bet you cannot go whereever you want during that sequence...

Also, not everyone here has played Half-Life 1. So you assuming makes you seem idiotic.

Also, First Person cutscenes are not impossible. Lol.
 
Try it in Half Life, get some sequence going, you can run right back to the beggining or the level why hes talking if you really wanted to.

You can also bonk him on the noggin.

I gave you the answer to your question in the first reply.

Actually you asked three questions.

Do you actually read the posts?
 
ahh thats where you were wrong...
If you answered the first one, you only had one more question because the first one cancelled out one of the others
:)
 
Stop the bickering, please.

In answer to your main question; Yes, there will definitely be new footage after all the e3 movies have been released on Steam.
 
Don't get into a semantics argument with me because I will win. it's my job to ask questions, I do it for 8 hours a day..

Just because one question cancels out another depending on the the answer didnt stop you from answering the question in the first place.
 
About the doctor cut scene, surely you have to remain still so she can throw the gun at you?? Or would she follow you untill within a range then throw it at you??

Seems a bit daft if it were thrown all the way across the room.
 
Haha Your fun. I like that bit... Because i will win.
Ok you ''won''
well done you must feel very proud ;)

On the topic...
I would like to see a Battle between the aliens, combine and your allies in a wide open space.
and see how the AI handles that.

I'd guess if you were out of the "throwing-range", Alyx would tell you to collect a gun from where she was.
 
You're both over the age of 20 and you're bickering on an internet forum. I don't need to say anymore, maybe you two can see how silly it is for yourselves.

That poses an interesting thought, but I guess Abom is right. I hope she doesn't just throw it on the floor or something like that.

Not really. A cut-scene is just as it sounds... It's cuts from the flow into a scripted (wait before you pounce on my use of that word), pre-determined scene that you, as a player must watch (or skip). Otherwise it's a scripted sequence, which you can sometimes ignore and run past.
But let's not split hairs, eh?
 
No. Not necessarily at all. That's just how it is traditionally. Lol. A cutscene could be smooth as butter if the developer really wanted it to be.
 
ME, I hate cut bullshit, I want to see more of the great gameplay.

Erm when all examples of something follow the same set then that tends to make it so.

Give an example which backs up your argument.
 
Are you saying, Liftz, that all developers so far WANTED their cut-scenes to jar with the rest of the game?
Not all do really, but it's nice the way HL does it and that's the way it does it. Other games do it differently and that can work too - but your proposition is an... interesting one, shall we say.
 
to Mr.Magnetichead
if you ever played hl then would know there are many cutscenes

Eg. mid way through the game when gordan is ambushed in a dark room and captured by the marines, then showing being dragged down the hall by em.

if thats not a cutscene then dress me in a skirt and call sally

It is a cutscene in a sense, but keep in mind that you never loose your POV, even there.
 
Peasoup's got a point

actually i found that part of the game rather funny as up to that point gordon has been burnt, shot, frozen, electrocuted,bludgeoned, slashed, and generally knocked around and yet one whack to the back of the head knocks him out

Then thats the only one.
 
It's close, but it's not a cutscene per se.

The point of view and 'consciousness' is still that of the player, when the screen goes black it's because the player passes out, not necessarily because it is considered a nice filmic end of cutscene fade.
Control is taken away from the player, but by an event that takes place in the gameworld rather than by the hand of a cutscene 'director'.
 
i ahte scenes where i cant control the character
so HL 2 will be great :D\
btw a cutscene with gordon in 3person would be bad because serious that guy doesnt look like a character that can survive a alien invasion
i like to never see the playable character(s) in FPS
 
if there was cutscenes, the game would jus be annoyin and non realistic!

i mean HL gave us the sence that there was only one long level, and that it is YOU the whole way.

if there was a cutscene in hl2, then that would jus make the game like any other storyboard game, i think cutscenes showed the best parts of a game, and all u had to do is sit and watch it, BUT in hl and hl2, you will be playing the cutscene :)
