Not to mention Valve, who are promising a walkthrough of sections from Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2 in a look-but-can't-touch demo session for the press. -- EuroGamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=66846)

Not really. Today the place is exclusively for media and proffesional visitors. It's first tomorrow the place is open for the public, and it will be up until August 27th. They promised a walkthrough, but not on the first day.

Well hopefully the media outlets compete to be the first with the Exclusive New Footage from Valve.

[Hypnosos]

They're here. :D

[A True Canadian]

I knew it! Even though I'm without sound, I'm going to watch these now. Thanks for the links. :)

EDIT: Holy Crap!! :D

[antimatter]

woah

[^Ben]

ZOMG! Did that flashlight cast shadows in the first video?

[gusIII]

oh my GOD!

[A True Canadian]

That new vehicle of Gordon's is effing fast. It's like the buggy on a permanent speed boost.

[The Brick]

This guy wrote down exactly the feelings I had.
Háááát, nemtom ti hogy vagytok vele de az én vga kártyám egy Radeon 9600XT és ha ez a kártya eltudja majd vinni a HL2 Episode 3 -at akkor ez nekem bőven joó, amugy ez a legkirályabb game EVER!!!


Also, anything of portal yet?

[BigBoss7556]

Did you guys see those zombies jump onto the hybrid car!?

The outdoor area in video 3 looked pretty massive as well.

[gman906]

I'm the link poster. I'm dmc12 on the facepunch forums.These videos from the GC 2006, but the credit is for the Hungarian version of Gamestar. And sorry for my bad english.

[A True Canadian]

Yeah I saw that. I can already picture a flood of Halo 2 fans coming in and complaining. ;)


I'm really loving the cinematic physics in video 5. That takes the cake. :O

[gman906]

And yes i will post you the link of portal and the TF2 ingame videos soon.

[PvtRyan]

I feel... spoiled :(

I know I'll regret watching this.

But it looks aweshens, particle effects seem to have improved a lot too (antlions explode nicely D: )

[Reginald]

There are mother****ing poison antlions in mother****ing video 1. I'm sure of it. They looked Red and Black.

[Loke]

OMFG, downloading now.

[^Ben]

And yes i will post you the link of portal and the TF2 ingame videos soon.

Awesome. Thanks.

[BigBoss7556]

Video 5 is probably the most impressive out of all these videos. It shows the hunter killing a resistence member by grabbing him. Also, the hunter AI is shown off and they seem pretty good, it seems they can follow you through buildings and flank you as well.

Cinematic physics are also shown and look very impressive (a wooden house being destroyed by a strider).


Videos 3-5 show outdoor ideas which look pretty large and less linear than any Half-Life other game released so far (this will add to replay value).

It looks like the zombines make a return in this(yay!), you can see the player running one over in video 3.

Edit: Wops, too late with tf2 and portal. You've already posted them.

[Reginald]

TF2 and Portal videos don't seem to be working. D:

*keeps trying*

[The Brick]

They're working here :D Fabulous!

[eraser]

Omfg @ Tf2

[The Brick]

I'm uploading them to Youtube atm... links in a minute.

[Loke]

Haha, TF2 looked fun. Could've been a little more movement with the weapons in first person view though, it's pretty stiff as it is now especially with the Scout (holy hell he ran fast).

Episode 2, OMFG. It looks fantastic, especially when the Strider blew up the large building resulting in physics-galore. And was it just me or did the Antlion tunnels look very similar to Diablo 2? :E

Portal looked good as well.

[sharp]

I like the gameplay of TF2. It will be very different compaired to the old Team Fortress. Instead of shooting at one enemy for like 4 a 5 seconds you can kill a bunch of rocket soldiers within seconds. Also the sniper can kill you with one 1 single headshot no matter how heavy you are.

The scout is very fast :D

[Loke]

Big thanks to you, Hypnosos. :)

[Reginald]

OK, got the Portal and TF2 vids to work. **** me I want all of Valve's children.

[A True Canadian]

It seems like Valve purposefully hid the Pyro's abilities from the Team Fortress 2 video...

[sharp]

Indeed, to bad we can't see how good his abilities are...

[Reginald]

I get the feeling the fire effects aren't finished. The ones in the initial trailer didn't look like Source. Mind you... this whole thing doesn't look like Source.

[The Brick]

Portal video on YouTube.

TF2 video.

Edit: eek they don't work (yet) :(

Edit2: TF2 vid is working \o/

Edit3: Portal working too :)

[Tamer17]

I'm...i'm speechless right. All the video are amazing and just shames all the rest of the game. OMG TF2 it really looks like the videos. just amazing.

I NEED high-res versions!

[Rossell]

Whats the vid just after Portal finishes?

[Sam-2k]

For some reason I can't download the videos straight from the site, it's trying to play in WMP but it won't work... I like what I can see on youtube but want better quality. Could someone upload them for me to try downloading please?

Working on it. But the Youtube quality is pretty much the same as the .wmv


Also, if you can stream them in WMP you can 'save as..' it once it's done.

[Hypnosos]

Big thanks to you, Hypnosos. :)
Happy to help. :) Vortigaunt as a sidekick, this is going to be awesome.

[Tamer17]

One thing though , by the looks of it Hunters can't shoot while running , though it could be just coincidence that they didn't at these videos.

[Samon]

Jesus, those Episode 2 vids were awesome.

[PimpinPenguin]

The Striders ai looks really cool i need some hi res versions

[Noobulon]

I'm really loving the cinematic physics in video 5. That takes the cake. :O

Shiiiiit, that was astonishing! :eek:


Ok I'm not watching any of the other videos... I've already seen too much!

Holy shens did you see the fast zombie! It actually leaps onto the car and you are actually WRESTLING with it before spinning off and hitting an overturned traincar, killing both of you. And the Vort actually interacted with the antlion, wrestling and beating it down like Alyx does in Episode One.

And the TF2 video was even better! Cloaked spies FTW! Ridiculously fast Scouts FTW!! Rocket jumping as an encouraged strategy FTMFW!!!

[Ridge]

There are mother****ing poison antlions in mother****ing video 1. I'm sure of it. They looked Red and Black.

Damn straight! You could see the suit's anti-venom warning show up!

[theotherguy]

sweeeet

video 5 is hands-down the best. I am really looking forward to the wide-open areas.

EDIT: did you notice that the combine soldiers now throw grenades back at you?

That looked scripted like the sniper windows in hl2.

[GordonFreeman911]

O-M-F-G
Sex.

[357]

OMFG OMFG OMFG... YEAH... Now THAT was awesome...

[Shift]

It would be good if you just pointed your shotgun or your magnum with one hand at the zombies head when it jumps it and just blow his head off while still driving with the other. That would be a classic take down!
