Half-Life & Portal series, general discussion (v3) - Games

[QUOTE=Butthurter;38775405]the bm:s soundtrack while good, doesnt even fit half-life with its ridiculously over the top attempts at techno and its one of the few reasons i avoid trying out that mod[/QUOTE] You discarded an entire game as bad without playing it because you didn't like the soundtrack on a youtube video??

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;38775588]Id like Mark Morgan ( composer for Fallout 1 and 2's tracks) to be doing the music. His music reminds me alot of the first Half Life soundtrack.[/QUOTE] Mark Morgan and Kelly Bailey, they both got their inspiration from Brian Eno's work.

I hope the author of fakefactory gets a job from Valve.

[QUOTE=FDiz;38777233]xXPr0_sNiPz_MaNiAc_360Xx[/QUOTE] You forgot to add "420 blaze it" and "noscope" somewhere in there.

[QUOTE=Marcolade;38777330]You forgot to add "420 blaze it" and "noscope" somewhere in there.[/QUOTE] too mainstream!

But he would just put rust on everything and throw broken model airplanes on the floor.

[QUOTE=.EDI;38778885]Not to forget all those unfitting bridges:suicide:[/QUOTE] u guys just dnot get how ~~artistic~~ and brilliant his mind is! he makes gabe look like a retard LOL!!! no really fakefactory is awful

Does the antlion guard in HL2 ever use this running animation? [video=youtube;4SK486Fv-wg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SK486Fv-wg[/video]

Could be an older version of his charge.

Imagine that when fighting advisors they "unfurl" and are revealled to be gargs from HL,the gargs in HL behaving like animals so they don't get noticed.

Didn´t also the model from the leak have some animations where apparently it would attack with fire, like the Gargantua?

[QUOTE=.EDI;38778885]Not to forget all those unfitting bridges:suicide:[/QUOTE] and characters and textures and buildings... Seriously, if FakeFactory used his time to properly implement nice good shaders and fitting textures instead of wasting time in terrible models and screwing up scripted scenes, his mod would be the best enhancement for HL2.

Amon Tobin should do the HL3 soundtrack

[QUOTE=The Jack;38778309]Janitor.[/QUOTE] Are you kidding me I would take that job any day just to work at Valve

They probably have a contract with a cleaning company instead of having a real janitor. [editline]10th December 2012[/editline] Apply to all cleaning companies in seattle immediately

[QUOTE=Cyanlime;38781934]aw i had my hopes up for a moment there[/QUOTE] Of all things, that gives you hope?

Regarding music, I think James Newton Howard could adapt some pretty amazing setpieces to the Half Life universe. Specially those emotional scenes...

I'm sure it will be a collaboration between Tim Larkin and Mike Morasky. Remember that Mike isn't the one working on DOTA 2, and Tim did the soundtrack for the CS:GO SFM trailer.

[QUOTE=redBadger;38783588]I'm sure it will be a collaboration between Tim Larkin and Mike Morasky. Remember that Mike isn't the one working on DOTA 2, and Tim did the soundtrack for the CS:GO SFM trailer.[/QUOTE] who is dota 2 then

Tim Larkin and Jason Hayes [editline]10th December 2012[/editline] I searched through my many many emails from Mike, but I couldn't find the exact one. I found the info on the dota wiki: [url]http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Soundtrack[/url] [editline]10th December 2012[/editline] I remember now, he told me when I called him up. That's something I know I'm allowed to share ;)

Remember that Mike isn't the one working on DOTA 2, and Tim did the soundtrack for the CS:GO SFM trailer.[/QUOTE] Wait, Tim Larkin? I had no idea that he did work for Valve. I know him for doing music for some of the Myst games. Hell yeah, I'd love to hear him make music with Mike for the next Half-Life.

Yeah he was the one who wrote and composed/conducted the CS:GO music. I asked for a score/mp3 but he couldn't provide it, as none actually existed (he basically said the best he could give would be the making of trailer, with the song in the background). But yeah, watch that making of trailer again on youtube. He's the one conducting the orchestra. It's odd because Mike usually samples and doesn't use live instrumentation as much until recently.
