[QUOTE=supersocko;31726324]I think it's a bad move on Valve's part, it'll just make us expect more from the game.[/QUOTE] Well, I don't know about you, but Valve has always satisfied my expectations
[QUOTE='[LOA] SonofBrim;31728932']Not a cutscene. Gordon is frozen in time and space (or if not that, everything is slowed down during his encounter), and he cannot move.[/QUOTE] Still, you can't move.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;31729983]Still, you can't move.[/QUOTE] That's not a cutscene, though. It actually happens in game.
[QUOTE=Ardosos;31731248]That's not a cutscene, though. It actually happens in game.[/QUOTE] eh you're right actually, the beginning of hl2... but you still can't move, CUTscene - you can't move etc
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;31731551]eh you're right actually, the beginning of hl2... but you still can't move, CUTscene - you can't move etc[/QUOTE]Well, no. Cutscene refers to the game cutting out to a prerendered movie or animation. All of the intro happens in game.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;31731551]eh you're right actually, the beginning of hl2... but you still can't move, CUTscene - you can't move etc[/QUOTE] Technically, the begging of Episode 2 where it shows that video about Episode 1 is a cutscene.
[QUOTE=Ardosos;31731725]Technically, the begging of Episode 2 where it shows that video about Episode 1 is a cutscene.[/QUOTE] exactly, the same as the beginning and the end of hl2 etc, there are a few others too. you are unable to move, but the camera moves around = cutscene.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;31731777]exactly, the same as the beginning and the end of hl2 etc, there are a few others too. you are unable to move, but the camera moves around = cutscene.[/QUOTE] you just don't get it. Until now, PORTAL 2 is the only Valve game with cut scenes. Plus Ep2, with that video before the game begins.
[QUOTE=Mattey;31731803]you just don't get it. Until now, PORTAL 2 is the only Valve game with cut scenes.[/QUOTE] The last one or what? I could almost count the prisoner pod ride as a cutscene, yes you can look around but you can do that in kane&lynch too and those are cutscenes.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;31731824]The last one or what? I could almost count the prisoner pod ride as a cutscene, yes you can look around but you can do that in kane&lynch too and those are cutscenes.[/QUOTE] THE VIDEOS MAN, THE FUCKIN' VIDEOS. ie: the turret opera, the Wheatley/space core cutscene, the coop intro and ending. Also Ep1 video before Ep2 intro. THOSE are cutscenes. When GLaDOS talks to you at the end, it happens in-game, so, no matter if you can move or not, it is in-game. Now in the other side, the VIDEOS, are CUTSCENES. ---my god..!
Damnit anyway. The issue is some people think cut scene as story moments in a game where your not playing, versus other people think of direct video as cut scenes, since those videos were not made in the exact game session your playing. So lets just word it this way, Episode Two had a recap video of Episode One, while Portal 2 had a video of the Turret opera. Speaking of which, are they going to do another recap video before the start of the next Half-Life? Portal 2 did not have a recap video up front, but in comparison we have waited longer for Episode Three instead of L4D2, Portal 2, and CS Go.

I know wikipedia might not always be the best source; but [I]A cutscene is a sequence in a video game over which the player has [B]no or only limited control[/B], breaking up the gameplay and used to advance the plot, present character development, and provide background information, atmosphere, dialogue, and clues. Cutscenes can either be [B]animated[/B] or use live action footage. [/I]
Here is what happens when I get Beatles songs in my head: [quote] Dear GabeN, Won't you let us a-play? Dear GabeN, Not another delaaaaaay! More Counter-Strike, now DoTA 2, But HL3, now where are you? Dear GabeN, Won't you let us a-play? [/quote] Just popped into my head in a Steam chat :v:
[QUOTE=BenjaminTennison;31708655][URL]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/c/c8/Spy_taunts11.wav[/URL] (Cutting off the "run" part)? Wait, they won't release EP3 faster for their customers being impatient. They are also working hard on the new engine of Source, [I]maybe[/I] finally with DirectX 11 and Tessellation support (unless they find some kind of use for Point Cloud voxels, not sure)[/QUOTE] Do you people really care about tessellation and DirectX 11 support?

[QUOTE=bathroomtowel;31744797]You mean like [video=youtube;PdHE_NBmLwU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdHE_NBmLwU[/video][/QUOTE] A lot of you may disagree, but this might work well as an unlockable weapon.
[QUOTE=bathroomtowel;31744797]You mean like [video=youtube;PdHE_NBmLwU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdHE_NBmLwU[/video][/QUOTE] Not exactly what I meant, but I've played with the Portal gun on the 3PG server before. It was quite fun, but totally destroyed the game.

[QUOTE=masterburner;31706518]Oh, come on valve... You have announced 2 new games already. And still no word on EP3. This is just stupid. I seriously wonder why they won't release any information about the game.[/QUOTE] Because they wanna keep it secret.
Hl3 is probably slated for reveal or something in 2012, either at e3 or another random forum post. They must of scrapped thier original ideas twice.
Or they are working on a full length Half Life game, since they said that the episodic model was a bad idea.
It wouldn't suprise me if they revealed it at Gamescom.
[QUOTE=nightlord;31760037]It wouldn't suprise me if they revealed it at Gamescom.[/QUOTE] Must... not.. be... filled with false hope... fuck. seems like I'll be watching gamescom then
[QUOTE=nightlord;31760037]It wouldn't suprise me if they revealed it at Gamescom.[/QUOTE] I would be...
Yeah, very unlikely that it will happen.
[QUOTE=Bamboo;15493208]hee iz gordan. I want a trailer for this soon. So all us VALVe fans can jizz for joy watching it over and over and over again.[/QUOTE] May be he's gordan but 60 years old
I want Valve to release a 2-second video with a lambda logo. I just want to know that they didn't forget about it.
