are you in afghanistan right now or is that somewhere in norway?

Puddy, your a manager for two weeks now and you already conformed to the cliche? :neutral: get wordfeud for it - it's basically scrable as a mobile app and allows you to play against friends or strangers...

Victor Antonov is an awesome artist, but he also got a very distinctive style, in the "negative" sense that looking at Dishonored and The Crossing and Half-Life 2 they all look very, very familiar from their architecture and vehicle design. And while this looked fresh in Half-Life 2, looking at the Dishonored Concepts, I see the Combine APC Vehicle and Ship designs, Striders, Combine Police Officers (Gas Masked and Grey trenches), Overwatch Towers with strong headlights, Forcefields to block players out of a certain area, Alleys that end up in this half-shaded vista that were typical for the City17 levels in HL2, the texture style guide looks in places 100% the same... I mean I loved Half-Life 2 and it's art-style so it's not an entirely bad thing, but it just looks like a victorian/steampunk expansion pack to the same universe...

Gameplay wise it looks very different though and I think Arkane have proven that they can make great, fun games (Dark Messiah of Might and Magic).

Really like this scene, but I can't see any dropbox pictures at work. Anychance you could put your latest updates on a different host?

could it be that your normal map is inverted? at least on the part in front of the feet and the tires it looks really wrong to me

Ah, Unreal has aged a little bit Still some really nice and awesome environment art in there! I also just read one of the first making of articles in Making Games magazine from Florian Zender... looks like you guys know what you're doing

Lombardi refused to flat-out say that Valve isn't working on a console.

*cough* *cough*

Finish the artice.

UPDATE: Some readers speculated that Lombardi was dancing around the possibility that Valve might be partnering with other hardware makes who would be shipping a possible Steambox. I double-checked with Lombardi. Whether we're talking about Valve making hardware or partnering with others, nothing like that is happening any time soon, he said.

next steps planned already? or a portfolio you want to send around?

Quote from Rick_D

that was the most hilariously generic trailer i've ever seen, please no offence but holy shitalso liking the TF2 announcer.

actually, we made a less generic trailer a while ago, but it didn't get much attention... most of the viewers still like "run, shoot, explode" more

also, in your face e-freak!

Ain't gonna happen.

i know there's multiplayer matches with bots, but PVE coop... damn, now i feel stupid for missing out

Quote from Skjalg

"Free Social FPS" for one...

Player vs Environment Coop Missions?

Haha, reading those comments from 2009

Anyway, here's what we have been working on:

why? there's still no steam box, and still no confirmation. I'm pretty confident that there will be no steam box either. At the very max there will be an extension of the Steam Hardware Survey saying "We, Valve, will use the following as our target spec for the next X years. If you want a "approved by Steam" sign on your OEM machine, preinstall Steam, fulfill the requirements and get in touch with us." That's the max. Oh and they are selling controllers, but that's about biofeedback rather than creating their own platform.

Quote from AtsEst

Well, they are going to announce something with a three in it. But then again it's just probably a part of Valve's epic troll-streak.

Wouldn't mind if it was the first title to accompany the shiny little box.

Ever thought about announcing the "E3 Dota 2 update Nr 1"?

At E3 Valve will only have a business booth, no Press conference and no nothing is scheduled so far.

Reminds me of Age of Empires (the third part going into the american history)... And AoE 3 sucked

(in all seriousness though, these screenshots look awesome )
