No, that’s a double derp on them.
Yeah, I don’t care how old you are, you should have seen that movie at least once in your lifetime. Besides, I think people misunderstanding that quote is the least of your worries with this shitstorm. Fingers crossed that we get an official statement about this at some point.
Also, I just noticed the comments in the other thread about the media campaign being cancelled. If that’s true, and I have no reason to doubt Victoria, I think that’s a really dumb move. By doing that you just further annoy those who were already annoyed… and then you also piss off the loads of us who were at least initially on board with everything. Not a good idea.
I loved the guy on Facebook who was posting about how this meant the release was tomorrow. LULZ.
I think I can speak for at least several of us when I ask
What the fuck is going on?
I’m confused as hell right now.
How is it a dumb move? The mod is so close to being released that any media updates would just be a waste. Why barely show anything over the years only to spoil a bunch in the months following up to the release?
Also, this video is better than 30 media updates. I mean – it’s fucking awesome.
Those 3 minutes and half of gameplay have been the best thing i’ve seen so far this month. I really love how you ended up adapting the interface from HL1 (i personally never liked the HL2 one either, but these are details!). That, and the…little “blur” effect for when you get wounded or when you pick up a medkit (2:13). I overally really liked it, nice job so far, even if it’s a fairly old build!
Hot damn, I’m glad I thought to check the site today.
This looks amazing! :retard:
If they had made the decision to not show things at all for fear of spoiling the full game, that’s one thing. But to announce a media campaign and then repeal it, its the whole 2009 debacle all over again. That’s why it’s stupid. There’s something called learning from your mistakes.
This video isn’t a good thing if it’s of old content. Yeah, everything looks great, but we already know how it looks. Old gameplay that just stirs up rage and misinforms people about the quality and feel of the mod is not a good thing in the slightest.
An official video on the other hand would be sexy as hell. :3
I don’t think it can get more official
Oh god, these fucking retards in the comments. Please tell me you guys made a Crysis style “quick zoom” for the magnum so these potatoes can smile.
Do you know what ‘leaked’ means?
It’s not a mistake this time – this time they are most likely on the verge of a real release and it is really beneficial to focus on the mod, and not appeasing people in the time prior to release. They probably have a good reason to call-off the media campaign… what do you think that reason was? Think about it.
nah, it’s not a leak… it’s a trap!
You know, if I was a real dick -like, Neil DeGrasse Tyson style- I would argue that the sky should have more stars in it. Like this;
But honestly, I think it was a good move not trying that – it might be a bit distracting or unnecessary looking.
Or it wouldn’t be much different, maybe 1080p instead of 720p.
I really like the current sky. Mixed with the lighting, it has an Unreal vibe to it.
It’s … so beautiful. :’(
Oh, me too. It really brings out the Sci-Fi feeling with all the blue and stuff; the music even added on to that. I feel like sci-fi might be a reoccurring theme in the game, and if so – awesome.
Stormseeker, was showing the video against the will of the devs?
Yeah, I don’t want to watch this video. Too much will be spoiled, I want some suprises! 
As for the ironsights, I’m not really a fan of them in most cases, but if I can stand the zoom being in Singleplayer, I might be able to stand ironsights on my revolver as well. Either way, as Raminator once said,
…Or something thereabouts.
I’m waiting for this mod from the very beginning and this looks nice… But still there are a few things that I would have done different. I would have kept the good old radio commands… I would have done the damage-indicators a lot smaller. I would have done movement and shooting EXACTLY like it was in HL1… I really HATE the way you move in HL2… The Multiplayer-Mode better be more faithful and have exact HL1 movement… otherwise this thing won’t replace HL for me.
ok
Also, that song is really growing on me. It too, has a Deus Ex/Unreal vibe.
