Um, how about Clinton? Seeing how Half Life was released mid-nineties.

I was going by the 200X date. But if the 1998 date given in the Portal 2 hub is correct, then yes, it’d be Clinton.

The RC occurred in 1998 if the Portal 2 backstory is to be believed. That explains all the CRT monitors! :retard:

[JeffMOD]

CRT monitors are awesome, though.

[Mr_Someguy]

I like my flatscreen better, takes up less space.

[dky.tehkingd.u]

And lighter to carry.

I finally thought of something to contribute to this thread… unless it’s been said already… in which case… “whoops?” :retard:

Personally, I wouldn’t want to see control taken away from the player for the encounter with Gman at the end of the game, in the way that control was taken away from the player during most of Gman’s scenes in HL2/EP1/EP2.

Those scenes with the Gman drove me nuts. Don’t get me wrong, they were cool, but they weren’t as good as I thought they could have been. It seemed to me as though the developers of HL2/EP1/EP2 broke with the design idea that HL1 seemed to employ, the idea of “never taking away the ability to control the character from the player for a scene or an NPC encounter,” which I believe was done in an attempt to make the experience more immersive.

I’ve always thought that HL1’s treatment of cutscenes is what set it apart (and still sets it apart) from most other games these days, so I guess I’ve always felt kind of sad that HL2+ devs seem to have thrown that train-of-thinking away, at least for dealings with the Gman. My guess (though I may be reading too much into this) is that the impression they were trying to give, was that the Gman was capable of freezing Gordon in his tracks, and making him listen, or something… Personally, I think that that point could have been made much better, if they had made all (or at least most) of the encounters with Gman more like the encounter at the end of HL2: Where you can still move Gordon, but only very slowly, as if the Gman is restricting your ability to move through space. At least in that case, the player has the opportunity to feel as though they’re in Gordon’s shoes throughout the entire game. As it was, most of Gman’s scenes in HL2/EP1/EP2 came across to me as just another scene, rather than as an encounter. I don’t know how to describe it, really… hopefully that makes at least some sense.

I’m not saying I think the devs are insane and would take away control from the player for all regular NPC encounters. (Not even HL2/EP1/EP2 did something that awful… ) But it might be tempting to do something like that to the interaction between Gordon and Gman at the end… just 'cause… well, it seems like that’s how interactions with the Gman are being treated nowadays, in the modern installments, anyway… oh well…

Just my 2 cents. :retard:

EDIT: Okay, I’m a rambler… hopefully this should make my idea a bit more clear… although I don’t think I managed to decease the lengthy description any… sorry! :zip:

I totally agree, but it depends how awesome the BMS team can make the cutscene with Gman. If they make the cutscene better than all of the other cutscenes with gman in the other hl2 episodes, then lets do this bitch!

Immersion is important like you said though. And it’s how I remember the gman encounters so clearly in HL1. Again, it depends how the devs take it. Either way, i’m 96.7% sure that the cutscene/encounter with gman at the end will blow all of our loads.[/SIZE] :jizz:

Why was the sprint feature added to the Hazard Suit? This is supposed to be a predecessor to the Hazard Suite Mk V, so it’s supposed to have less features. Adding a feature from Half Life 2 to the suit doesn’t really make sense.

Basically, I don’t want anything in the game that makes it so that it doesn’t mesh with the rest of the series. Considering the fact that the series isn’t finished yet, this is only achievable by changing the story of the game as little as possible. You don’t, for example, want to have a vortigant using a computer keyboard and then it ends up that there’s a bit of dialogue where they say that vortigants can’t use keyboards and interface with computers with telekinesis or whatever in Half Life 2 Episode 3.

[CatzEyes93]

We like to sprint

[Cameron_D]

In HL1 the default action was sprinting, and the Shift key made you walk. HL2 was the other way around.

[Ibanez]

From a realism standpoint, it makes perfect sense. It just hadn’t been thought of from a gameplay standpoint at the time HL1 was made.

[Spycrabz]

I don’t want to see even the SLIGHTEST lack of torus.

[bigfan421]

I dont want to see any sci’s eating donuts… kinda covers for that one phrase they often mutter when left to thier own devices…
maybe a guard, but no scientists

[Spycrabz]

I don’t want to see a lack of torus, you don’t want to see donuts.

[CComa]

BMS don’t need sprint. LOLWUT sprint-suits nowadays. Haven’t seen any.

[Vyvyan]

Heh, what I’d least like to see is all versions of BM in Germany have to replace the HECU with robots…
