dota 2 a surprise? No way, it sux. I was expecting something like I dunno, an ep3 demo or a portal 2 demo…
hl2 isn’t really a series as much as a story arc, think a little 
what you expected doesn’t mean shit, kiddo.
Eh, actually, we haven’t seen “anything” of the game, no pics, no gameplay, nothing. Just a few infos, and I doubt that it was all.
There wasnt even a demo for Episode 2, and there are still 2 surprises left. And a Portal 2 demo would come out in 2011, maybe 1-3 weeks before the release. It was 100% clear that its going to be the game icefrog is working with some Valve employees.
Yeah, as others said, I meant the last HL2 episode. But if we’re playing semantics here then I apologize. They want the presumed last HL2 episode to go out with a bang. Better? 
same heroes, same map, same mechanics, yeah i would call that just being lazy and uprazing the original game. And the fact it runs on source engine is a really big disappointment, its too old for this type of game, the graphics will look like crap.
Its not dota 2 for me, just dota 1 remake ;/
Still i hope they hurry up with the release since HON went to shit after retail, and LOL is just designed for noobs and casual players with apm below 80.
i dunno, i’m thinking they’re going to keep gordon in hl3, why wouldn’t they? i bet they’ll do what they did with hl1, hl2, and ep2, and leave it with some cliffhanger shit so people aren’t satisfied with just ep3.
As I said, its going to be released in 2011, so they have time to reveal “everything”: I doubt, that Valve told us already everything about it.
:hmph: :hmph:
I see, youre one of those guys, who think, if the Engine name doesnt have a higher number at the end, than in the previous game, it’d be old and look like crap?
Lolwat? It’ll have the same engine version of Portal 2. Does Portal 2 look like crap? They even added a few new things into it like improved global lightning and true cloth simulation. And there are no pics of it yet, so you cant say that it looks like crap.
edit:
Speaks for itself.
blue is a fucking idiot.
There are some posters on the characters, if I’m right. Still not enough content for a “surprise” though.
Yeah, right. With pics, I meant gameplay footage. The four pics are just artworks.
Stupidest fucking thing I’ve heard anyone say for a long time. Have you really not noticed how the Source engine has been continuously upgraded? How can you say the Portal 2 engine is out-dated, it’s not even out for another 5 months!
The updating dosnt help it look any less outdated, and portal 2 looks better but still nowhere near the competition. It comes mostly form crappy normal and spec maps support and lack of dynamic lightning ;f
And what if portal 2 dosnt come out in months we have enough of hd videos to tell how it will look.
I know this is a hl2 related forum but it dosnt mean you have to fucking worship the thing O_o
Actually, a lot of people genuinely think Portal 2 looks good.
You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.
Well technically, the entire Source engine is a really “updated” version of the Quake 1 engine, so it does, indeed, help.
Except it’s not.
This. About 10,000 times.
You’re not getting what I’m saying. They need the game to be insanely good. High quality. Better than the last two episodes. Go out with a bang. I’m not talking about the plot at all. Plot doesn’t add to development time.
i didnt say it looks bad, they same way good looking games from 3-4 years age still look good, i like how it looks. But it has nothing on the games that are coming out now ;/
Try harder kiddo.
Really, really, bad wording.
