How long will you give the HL2 media?

[Joeyslucky22]

Didn't come out yesturday.. how long will you wait?

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Octember made me laugh. lol

[Joeyslucky22]

lol thought it would :P

[emperorofchina]

until the realease of HL2

there should be rage lvl vote for steam i reallly hate them

[Kleptomaniac]

Vote until Friday..
Of course it's not like I'll boycott Valve if they release it on Sunday, but hey ;)

[Joeyslucky22]

well i told eric I didnt want to wait another week for the release... he said

" [23:51] <ErikJ> Joeysluck - I don't feel like you waiting another week either."

so... meh no idea when that'll be :\

[GLMinorThreat]

I've given up, and don't care much anymore. If it does come out this week great. If not. I'm not going to stress over it.

[ShinRa]

I'm holding my hopes up until friday, after that Valve can go **** them selves.

[Tamora]

Well, if they would go **** themselves then we wouldn't see much more of HL2, now would we? ;)

[Mr.Reak]

Yep, I mean media is more important than a game itself, so because Valve doesn't release any media, we must hate them, it's not like they are making a game… And you guys call yourself HL2 fans? Shame on you.

[Joeyslucky22]

I really dont think its valve's fault.. maybe it was just a steam problem.. although erik did say that they need to fix CS things before HL2 media... agh.

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Now now guinny, that aint very nice especialy after all the emails they bothered to answer, be happy with what you have .

but i understand u fealings lol

[spitzfiya]

Common, just give them time you arseholes.....they might have even more cool stuff to put on steam ;)

Steam rules and so does valve, enough of the steam/valve can go **** themselfs.

[PainLord]

If you were in their position though, think about it. What would be more important to you? CS 1.6 or a shinier HL2 video that weve all seen already.

[Joeyslucky22]

hints that there will probbably be new footage ;)

"<ErikJ> Video falling off a cliff, was that in the e3 demo?"
"<ErikJ> The first set of media that we release over Steam will be the e3 videos. It's not going to be the last set of media we release there."

I'd be more anxious to see what people think about the new vids.. and the better quality.. than fixing stuff only a few people are complaining about...

[Ateoto]

I really feel bad for them, Everyone is talking about how much they love valve and how wonderful the community support from valve is. Then they don't release a video (that we have already seen before) on time and everyone hates them. I dont even care, it will be out when its out.

Im salivating over every detail of this game like the rest of you, but have patience my friends, they are under a lot of pressure right now. If they truly are releasing the game in September then they are no doubt entering the dreaded "crunch time" of development.

[Joeyslucky22]

^^^read above post^^^

Alot of the valve fans dont have very much patience...
well every good thing that a gamer wants allways seems to get delayed.... I think alot of people are getting sick of it now...

[Apos]

hints that there will probbably be new footage

"<ErikJ> Video falling off a cliff, was that in the e3 demo?"
"<ErikJ> The first set of media that we release over Steam will be the e3 videos. It's not going to be the last set of media we release there."

what happened was that someone asked erik if the video included the cliff scene. He asked if it had been in the e3 vid. That's all that happened. He never said anything about releasing that vid in particular: someone ASKED him if it woul dbe in, and he asked if it was in the e3 stuff. Then he said over and over that the e3 stuff would be what they are releasing. And some new media later after that: but it could be anything.

[spitzfiya]

Yeah so all you valve haters can STFU!

[Joeyslucky22]

cliff scene?... what cliff scene?

thanks for.. clearing that up though :dozey:

[GLMinorThreat]

I have no patience in life at all... For anything. Seriously. :p

[Joeyslucky22]

[23:53] <LoneDeranger> will we get the video with the APC falling of the cliff by any chance?
[23:54] <ErikJ> Video falling off a cliff, was that in the e3 demo?


I've never seen that video before....:cheers:

[spitzfiya]

Is the 600MB video the ONLY media for HL2?

[Joeyslucky22]

so far yes...

Sounds like we'll be seeing some new stuff though (like i've originally posted.... 3... times...)

But it could be anything from desktop icons ... to pictures... to maybe a new video....

[jhero]

Well, i give them till Friday, then i give up.

[Direwolf]

I'll wait as long as it takes.

[Joeyslucky22]

Hmm, if its not today, SPAM HIM.

[Joeyslucky22]

Effiecient seemed like he knew alot.... never know..

[SD1]

why would anyone even think about trusting some moderator when we ere lied to by the damm manager of valve??!

SD

[ShinRa]

Look at Gabe in the pic of E3, he doesn't look like the kinda guy you would even trust with a quarter.

[Joeyslucky22]

<Stewy> is there going to be a release of the hl2 media today or not?
<Efficient> WE ARE TRYING

<Efficient> I'm not the one who releases it, it's up to Erik

<Efficient> It's like the previous update, it caused no text, so we're fixing the bugs that might cause more bugs

<Efficient> Fixing bugs aren't easy guys, it's like solving a big puzzle

<Efficient> Actually, we just want to fix bugs before it's released, we didn't expect that no-text bug a few updates ago

lol, i dont know why not to believe him, hes an admin on that channel.

[TAZ]

Who cares? I have seen Fileplanets 600 meg high quality movie of the E3 video. If that's all we are waiting for , and it only being direct feed , then it's not worth waiting for so long. My question is how come it is taking so long? They already have the video, just give it to Fileplanet so they can distribute it amongst their loyal followers and then eventually it will be available to all of you. :)

[SpuD]

Is it a new video, or is it the old one?

[Joeyslucky22]

The first video that will be released is:

800mb (which will probbably be split into smaller videos)
Will be the e3 demo
a BINK file
In-game quality

According to Eric Johnson:

Thats not the only media they will release

They will show an APC falling off a cliff from a huge antlion video.... maybe...

[ValVed RaY]

it will probably come out this week i hope :D

btw guinny is banned =]

[Joeyslucky22]

it'll come out this week most likley..

LoL what did guinny do? :P

The same issue has come up with him in at least one other (Desert Combat) forum I know of.

[Peks]

guinny got banned? woot!

[Direwolf]

Wont that decrease forum activity by at least 50% though?

[jhero]

guinny got banned???

[Parasite]

You left out the option that says "until it comes out"
Because thats how long we all have to wait.
If you said "Till Friday" and it comes out next month, are you really not gona see it?
