Valve fails - Games - Facepunch Forum

In the video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sryshLu7Wpw&feature=player_embedded[/media] Valve used the Episode 2 Alyx model, the one with stabs by the hunter. The video, however, is ambiented inside the citadel, and Breen is speaking. But in EP2 both City 17 and the Citadel are destroyed, and Breen is dead. Valve fails.

Raters gonna late And this is non-cannon to the HL2 story So yeah...

As if it was related to hl2's story in any way. It's just a promotional video, friend.

I thought the fail was when they added the Mac support

it's promotional

Would be cool if they made it canon though. Only reason why Alyx would have Gordon's crowbar if he were to die.

To be honest, I know I hate MACs myself, but I kind'a like the fact that Valve ported Steam to the MAC. :3:

I'm surprised you're pointing this as a :airquote: fail :airquote: when there are much bigger ones by Valve out there

[QUOTE=Keychain;22349202]Would be cool if they made it canon though. Only reason why Alyx would have Gordon's crowbar if he were to die.[/QUOTE] Well you see, there are probably hundreds of other Crowbars out there that look just like Gordons...

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;22349453]I'm surprised you're pointing this as a :airquote: fail :airquote: when there are much bigger ones by Valve out there[/QUOTE] Yeah. They totally suck at not making good games.

[QUOTE=Steak;22349908]Well you see, there are probably hundreds of other Crowbars out there that look just like Gordons...[/QUOTE] I was kinda sad when the confiscation field in HL2 "disintegrated" the crowbar, that was the one he used in Black Mesa and the biggest part of HL2. And then you use another Barney gives you, and then you use another one that you find in an elevator.

It totally matters right?

inb4 breen looks like steve jobs and how this is ironic in relative to the video

I still wonder how he got the suit in the frist place) and all his weapons were stripped by the gman. I doubt barney could have kept it for almost 20 years. Very unlikely.

The HEV in HL2 is an upgrade of the older one (there wasn't just one, although the "fits you like a glove" remarks suggest otherwise but I dunno :frown:)

About the crowbar and the HEV suit stuff A wizard did it.

[QUOTE=Steak;22349908]Well you see, there are probably hundreds of other Crowbars out there that look just like Gordons...[/QUOTE] Yeah how many crowbars do you see in-game? After all the pickaxes and shit you find, you'd think there'd be another crowbar somewhere. It's clear that in the HL2 universe, Gordon is the only person who can hold a crowbar. If someone else were to hold a crowbar at the same time as him, the world would collapse and be eaten by a black hole.

Alyx has Gordon's crowbar because he's dead.

Oh god, incredible.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8[/media] Based off of that. You thought that they made that video out of nowhere? Please say no...

I brought this to light when the video was first released.

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;22348939]I thought the fail was when they added the Mac support[/QUOTE] Not trying to flame or so, but please shut the fuck up with the bashing, I think we everyone knows that they/someone else hate macs. Just "Deal with it", I have no problem with people expressing their opinions, but there is no fucking need for the constant bashing. But anyway, about the video. As everyone else said. It's a promotional video.

uhh it was implied the citadel exploded in hl2, stupid.

Thread makes me cry.

I've seen this before in the Simpsons...

I wonder if it was source they used to render the video, and how did they make the lighting look so pretty.

I always thought that the reason why Alyx has Hunter Wounds is because they made the video with the ep 2 engine or something to do with not being able to change the skin back to normal Alyx.
