Looks like fun, but that is probably the worst writing and voice acting I've ever seen in my life.

Muahhahaha!

Its definately scripted using the engine but with the Source after effects. But I dont see what the problem with that is, or why there is even a bit of an argument going on about it.

It's pretty cool nevertheless.

edit: People are saying that this is cgi, "what Valve does best".

I find that funny since Valve is one the few developers that doesn't use cgi for either cutscenes or promotion.

It's really only usefull for Google Earth stuff me thinks.

I like the shiny plasti weapon and turrets

Hmm after a gravity gun and a portal gun what else could you do? :0

Well if you ever come back Postman you might want to sue this guy:

Prey has a nice visual effect with portals, but other than that they are pretty much functionally the same as the ones in Quake 3.

What the Narbacular Drop guys and Valve have done is create a whole new type of game around portals. Calling Portal, Hl2:Prey is pretty dumb to be honest.

edit: and oh ya, PORTAL LOOKS TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME!!!

Hmm, with all that new stuff defrag you'll probably scare away some TFC grognards. They do sound like a lot of fun tho

And are the original creators of TF still working at valve, and if they do what hand do they have in this iteration of TF2?

Heh, with sniper shots that make you explode into gibs and conc jumping and all that this style makes way more sense than that old constipated look.

No need to slit your wrists now dudes. They JUST announced it, you have no idea what they have in mind.

The shit has hit the fan at the FF forums though.

They should be a bit above the ground. Not sure what the accepted norm in grid units is if there is one :\

Hmm, I'm afraid you might be right. Pretty disapointing then.

Including it on Episode 2. Those sneaky bastards

That makes no sense to me. Everyone was gonna buy ep2 anyway because of the new weapons and enemies and whatnot. Why aren't they planning to release it seperately? They could easily sell both at $20

I hope they include the promised RTS features!

But its not an mmorpg.

Heh, the magazine ads I've seen of it always gave me the impression of an mmorpg. I guess it must of been the art style and graphics :\

lol

What so funny?

Quote from Campaignjunkie

It reminds me of something in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Those designers made a point to get rid of virtually every straight edge

I think you mean right angles not straight edges

New art style huh?

And why is it included with ep2?

Not managed to find too much information, or any reviews of the game yet.

Of course not, its an indie game. It will be awhile before we see much in the way of reviews etc. Its seems Steam is becoming a home to indie-games. Not a bad thing imo.

Theres nothing really special or interesting about this mmorpg. Its alot like that camelot one and asherons call or whatever. Really nothing that sets it apart from the pack.

Could you possibly have some extra content, such as the case studies Fletch mentioned, on a disc? That might increase it's appeal for little extra cost. I'm fairly certain that CD's are cheaper to produce than print. But then again that has drawbacks as well I guess :\
