Doing a VALVe interview, what should I ask? - Games

Ask them about the Trading and Crafting systems they mentioned.

"Why did you not go by valve time and delay l4d2 6 times, and push it back a year?"

Why the lack of communication.

Ask them whats the plan with L4D1 now L4D2 is out, is there updates already in the pipeline for L4D2 if so any clues as to what they may be. And yes leave stupid questions out if you want to be taken seriously.

Ask them about the crash-to-desktop-after-intro error some people are getting with L4D2 and if they have a fix on the way.

Also make a list at the bottom that says, Lots of names, said hi. And if you do that, please put me on.

[QUOTE=Tinter;18680428]Also make a list at the bottom that says, Lots of names, said hi. And if you do that, please put me on.[/QUOTE] Why? You didn't contribute anything. Also: Maybe ask them if they were completely satisfied with L4D2, or if they had the opportunity to go back and redo something, would they?

I'm surprised Robin called us FP, and not Facepunch.

was CS2 a joke or what

[QUOTE=niko2410;18677905]This. I don't see why they couldn't have just kept them in as a separate weapon anyway.[/QUOTE] If they had done that you'd right now be complaining about why they couldn't be bothered making new models. You just like complaining. [editline]04:03PM[/editline] Ask if VALVe know about the negative reception to rochelle and if they plan on doing anything to make her a better character.

"Are Valve as a company going to tie up all the loose-end series so far (Half-Life, Left 4 Dead etc.) or are there any completely new game ideas in the pipes?"

Ask him what happened to Ellis's buddy Kieth. And no, dont link me to that shitty mod :argh:

For the love of god don't ask them stuff they haven't officially announced yet. If you must then ask like "Does valve want to do another box set and how is it different to release 3 games at once" not if they are going to. Theres a big difference interview wise, one will get you the answer "we don't know" one will get you a proper in depth answer.

Ask them about Day of Defeat Source. any updates/future plans?

This one: Will Valve update the SDK for the sign language system? When are you going to give the Source Filmmaker (The program used to develop the TF2 "Meet the..." videos) in the Source SDK? Is it gonna be released?

You [B][I][U]must[/U][/I][/B] ask this.

Far to many people tend to ask about stuff they just reply "We don't know" to. No, they won't give out the release date of EP3 to a random person sending them an e-mail.

[QUOTE=The Pink Scotti;18680960]When are you going to give the Source Filmmaker (The program used to develop the TF2 "Meet the..." videos) in the Source SDK? Is it gonna be released?[/QUOTE] I thought it was going to be after all the TF2 vids were out.

[QUOTE=Omolong;18680786]I'm surprised Robin called us FP, and not Facepunch.[/QUOTE] Why is that surprising? He's not a robot. You should ask him if they're running with any ideas of putting the TF2 melee weapons into L4D2 as DLC.

[QUOTE=HookJ;18681347]Why is that surprising? He's not a robot. You should ask him if they're running with any ideas of putting the TF2 melee weapons into L4D2 as DLC.[/QUOTE] Coz generally, people who don't know FP (i.e. people without accounts) generally call it Facepunch.

Ask him if the gore from L4D2 will be (patched)in Half-Life 2,Ep1/2.Ep.3

I'd like to hear something about the first person animations in L4D2. Also, the source filmmaker question up there.

Are they giving up on shipping L4D2 in Australia, or are they attempting to make some compromise?

Why doesn't Left 4 Dead 2 have sign language?

Ask if they have any plans of making movies of their franchises. Plus what do they like to eat the most at Valve. And also suggest in making a VALVeCon.

[QUOTE=Tram;18683815]Ask if they have any plans of making movies of their franchises. Plus what do they like to eat the most at Valve. And also suggest in making a VALVeCon.[/QUOTE] I'm sure they need more than 70 million dollars.

Wow I love that you said "Facepunch" and Robin said "FP" We're famous :OOOOOOOOOO [editline]08:15PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Tram;18683815]Ask if they have any plans of making movies of their franchises. Plus what do they like to eat the most at Valve. And also suggest in making a VALVeCon.[/QUOTE] Their stance on movies is "Only if the script is really good" [editline]08:16PM[/editline] Ask them if they feel any responsibility through Steam since they're the closest thing PC gaming has to a Microsoft or a Sony or a Nintendo. Ask them if they're ever going to do "State of the PC" conferences like the Xbox and PS3 ones at E3. They'll say no but it'll get the idea out there.

[QUOTE=ihatecompvir;18675304] L4D 2 Addon System How much food Gabe eats in a day Basic Stuff about what goes on in a typical VALVe day [/QUOTE] The only things I want to know, ask these. Edit: And Source Filmmaker.

Don't ask same-old-shit questions like "What's your stance on piracy"

[QUOTE=smurfy;18683912] Ask them if they feel any responsibility through Steam since they're the closest thing PC gaming has to a Microsoft or a Sony or a Nintendo.[/QUOTE] Don't forget that steam is much better than M$ or P$3 or Nintendo. The PC in general is superior.
