Polaris Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?ar ... 345&page=1 Eurogamer: Lost Coast was clearly a successful way of demoing and testing HDR and the commentary system. Do you plan to roll out more tech demos soon? Gabe Newell: Yeah, we have a couple... Eurogamer: This year? Gabe Newell: This year, yes. Eurogamer: Are you planning to talk about those soon? Gabe Newell: Yes, now that Episode One's done. More free goodies from Valve. God I want to play on some of those cut levels There was also talk of actual expansions ala Blue Shift and Opposing Force. Let us dance! Quote
Alexjfry3 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 i was playing Blue Shift the other day and its still good even after this long i really hope they do put out another only becuase they could make it better Quote
Polaris Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Posted June 7, 2006 Yea, It would be fun to play from Barney's pov again, or maybe they will do another character. But nothing is really official yet. Quote
Bic-B@ll Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 i hope they release that level aboard a boat that was cut, it looked pretty neat. i couldn't imagine putting so much work into somthing like that and never having it see the light of day. Quote
Section_Ei8ht Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Speaking of which, i just read on ign that valve says the half-life 2 episodes are taking the place of half-life 3. Not sure why they didn't just call it Half-Life 3:Episode 1... Quote
Meotwister Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 yeah a Half-Life 2 version of Blue Shift would be cool since theres a lot of points in the game (like 99% of the time) where you don't know wtf Barney's doing. So a lot of freedom available just so long as he appears where he was in hl2. I'm looking forward to those new tech demos they're focusing on atm supposedly out this year. Said they had ''a couple''.

Furyo Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Speaking of which, i just read on ign that valve says the half-life 2 episodes are taking the place of half-life 3. Not sure why they didn't just call it Half-Life 3:Episode 1... Actually I heard just the opposite. They were tired of going on 5-6 years projects without releasing anything, so they went the opposite way (episodes) while preparing an HL3 which would be as revolutionary tech wise as HL1 and HL2 were for their times...

Section_Ei8ht Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 I hope you're right, cuz that sounds better, but I read it here http://pc.ign.com/articles/711/711560p1 ... Sid=711560 Quote
sensee Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Don't worry there will be a real Half-Life 3 after Episode 1-3. Nobody lets such a great (and great selling) franchise down. Quote
skdr Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 i couldn't imagine putting so much work into somthing like that and never having it see the light of day. Are you sure about that ? Quote
Sa74n Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 what are those techdemos good for if they dont give us mod developers access to those features? i am still waiting for hdr in a mod Quote
sensee Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 what are those techdemos good for if they dont give us mod developers access to those features? i am still waiting for hdr in a mod I thought that would work?! Can't you just compile a map with HDR and then play it in your mod? I wish to see some of the Ep1 features and entities available for mapping and moding soon. Quote
Ginger Lord Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Valve havn't done an SDK update in months, if not a year. We need the backend code for all there new stuff like HDR. They keep pushing back the date of updating it, sure it was originally gonna be updated with DoD:S release...then a few weeks later..then maybe before Ep.1...now who knows. Quote
Section_Ei8ht Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 I'm still waiting for the source code to be able to compile in Visual Studio 2005 Express I'd rather not have an install of vs2003 right next to my install vs2005. Quote
st0lve Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Hopefull Gearbox will make the "Opposing Force" styled expansion. Cause it is the best expansion ever made in the entire history. Quote
