[QUOTE=SpaceLink;47236562]Thanks, anything for the actual maps/textures? FF characters looked horrible but the maps/lighting looked great[/QUOTE]
Well there's the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Half-Life2Update]HL2 Update[/url] mod that's supposed to come out soon, but that's more about fixing the stuff that was broken after the Orange Box update.

Greetings, Half-Life thread on the Facepunch forums! I know you Facepunch forum-goers have exhibited some moderate fondness for Half-Life information, so I thought you'd all be interested in reading this month's Featured Article on the Combine OverWiki, the [b]cut missions from Half-Life: Decay[/b]! Available through the magic of the following convenient link:
[b][url]http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Cut_missions_from_Half-Life:_Decay[/url][/b]

You may recall this article being mentioned here before, but only recently has the article been greatly expanded to include full audio reconstructions of the lost dialog from these missions, a visual look into the pertinent cut animations, and a fancy pants in-game recreation of one of the lost scenes:

[QUOTE=eirexe;47236269]if they ever show stuff it will be either at the talk the writer is giving about "closely guarded secret" or the glnext talk, because I mean, why would they port source 1 to glnext?[/QUOTE]

Chet's Rezzed talk will definitely be about VR. He's been traveling all over the [I]world[/I] giving VR talks.

[jazzpunk]

Chet's talk has been confirmed to be SteamVR. They updated the description.

[QUOTE]1pm: Virtual Reality in 2015

Chet Faliszek talks about what Valve has learned from working internally and with outside developers using SteamVR as we all look towards creating content for 2015 and beyond.

Am I the only one who isn't totally bored by VR? I've tried them, and its just kinda... pleh.

Valve's talent is better spent elsewhere TBH

I guess I will need to eat that diddy kong picture then

[Spayce]

I want a Iron Sights mod, I've tried googling and all I find is forums of people asking and getting shouted at because they want Iron Sights.

So before we start a debate of whether Iron Sights are for pussies or not , can someone just suggest a mod that adds them. Not SMod because I dont want all the changes it comes with. Just iron sights nothing more

What's 'them'? You very well could've tried an outdated or otherwise shitty headset. I'd wait until you try Crescent Bay or Vive before saying it's boring or pleh, since the reactions to those so far have been incredibly positive.

I'd say there's more than hope, Valve is confirmed to be working on the next Half-Life game and given their involvement with VR I'd say there's a smaller chance that the game [I]isn't[/I] released on VR than if it is.

There goes that partnership. That was short-lived. Phew. :v:

But yeah, the way she said it leaves a lot up to the imagination.

[Shier]

Half-Life: Source 2 :v:

[knimren]

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;47243354]It's a Lost Coast port.[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't be actually too bad. If it's on Source 2, then sign me up.

[jazzpunk]

I'm sure she wanted to say "We are co-operating with Valve"

that interviewer was very pushy about that subject

also, if she indeed meant HL, it could mean anything from Black Mesa, to HL2VR

don't look much into it

The uncertainty of whether or not it will be on VR sorta suggests the game is still a long ways from release... If she was talking about a new HL game that is.

You can run Fakefactory without any of the weird fetishistic stuff he's added, just with ironsights. The weapon models will be different though

[Sector 7]

you could also play through HL2 in Garry's mod with weapon addons

then again that has its own problems

[Hell-met]

get ready for the not-a-game tomorrow

[jazzpunk]

Frankly, if anyone's expecting a game announcement from a physics session, then they got only themselves to blame.

[Pops]

valve could theoretically announce that they plan to bring new entries in their games to the vr thing

by of course not saying any game specifically.

[GladoSC]

[QUOTE=jazzpunk;47245346]Frankly, if anyone's expecting a game announcement from a physics session, then they got only themselves to blame.[/QUOTE]

They can start an ARG...

But yeah, who am I fooling. I'm just that desperate.

[Spayce]

I've reached Highway 17 without dying... I don't want to pressure myself into trying to play the game without dying. But now I'm starting to play alot more cautiously as to preserve the 0 deaths as long as I can. Who am I kidding, Nova Prospekt is blatantly going to ruin me anyway.

[bunnybijou]

things tomorrow

[Renafox]

Tuesday?

[Pops]

it's 3/3

the conference is at 3 in san francisco (san being the japanese word for 3)

ricochet 2 confirmed

[A B.A. Survivor]

I have had it with jokes about 3.

[Coffee]

if valve actually announce anything half life related tomorrow I'm going to eat my shoe.

you wanna [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-toxx.gif[/img] that?

[Bastet]

I'll toxx it, but instead of a shoe I'll make and eat a triple decker grilled cheese bacon sandwich with bits of sausage.
