hehehe epic dude! xD
whatever CC does, they're miles ahead of anything valve did post 2011.
Valve post 2011 is a pretty low bar tbh
the thing is there's no "bar" for half-life content. There is no bar at all.
It's valve's monopoly. Only CC has surpassed them at it or even matched.
i have it on good authority that there is a bar, and that it was at one point raised.
Side note, it took me until like two years ago to figure out the pun behind RtB
I still dont get it. There was a pun?
Raising The (crow)Bar
I think they were trying to emulate something closer to the Opposing Force grunts, more sympathetic and campy. I think one of the best new additions are those lines where the soldiers are nervously reporting back to command that they're failing to apprehend the player. It really nails that theme that Op4 set up where the marines wound up being just another victim of the mess spiraling out of control at Black Mesa. I do miss the original vocoder though and was considering doing a mod to apply that to the new lines.
Yeah I think it's a mix of that and going for a more human angle, especially after their villain angle backfired so badly. The voice acting sounds more like the scripted sequences (especially "All I know for sure is he's been killin' my buddies.") and OP4 grunts than the cold professional voice everyone knows. I agree though I do kind of miss the cold and abrasive speech, but I also enjoy the new voice acting.
but theres a crowbar on the front cover

But he wasn’t raising it.
in principle we don't where the crowbar was immediately before this image, or where it would be subsequently. perhaps gordon had just arose from a more crouching stance, as if he were picking up the crowbar from the ground mid-stride, and will continue the crowbar's upwards trajectory, in which case the bar is indeed being currently raised
having never read the book, I assume these kinds of dilemmas make up the majority of the text
The crowbar knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't.

New screenshots for xen!
less screenshots more released xen
those are nice tho
Those looks amazing. Trees looks a little bit too Earthlike for my taste, but it is a bit hard to see exactly how they look from this distance.
Small disappointment, but glad they’re still alive! Also those tracers sure looks like I’m firing Star Wars blasters. Second someone might’ve asked for RTX in the comments
@DIGITAL SPORTS will the frag grenade aim issue get fixed when the beta rolls out?
Made a thread on Knockout so we have a place for updates, hope to see you all there <3

Can't believe Xen outlived FP
