Half-Life and Portal series, general discussion (v6) - Games

I had a weird dream where I was playing a VR demo where you control a hunter from Half Life. [t]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/images/b/b7/Hunter_from_EP2_teaser.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100607081417&path-prefix=en[/t] It was set up so that the left eye in the headset corresponded to the top eye, and the right to the bottom eye, but it kinda worked.

Playing as a hunter would be cool.

[QUOTE=tempunary;47653641][video=youtube;ei_VsQHlLy0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei_VsQHlLy0[/video][/QUOTE] That looks amazing, and it looks like it is the old version of the game, because of the pause menu and 36 rockets

[QUOTE=tempunary;47653641][video=youtube;ei_VsQHlLy0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei_VsQHlLy0[/video][/QUOTE] How does this work? is it just SWEPs and mods for Gmod or something?

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;47655639]I always found it dissapointing that that particular scene was cut from the final game. I imagine it would have been an introduction to the Hunters without Alyx and that you would need to escape them without weapons or something. Would have been much more interesting than the final[sp]"Alyx gets almost killed to show off it's deadly power" thing[/sp]we have.[/QUOTE] I bet playtesters would find that too confusing.

Speaking of dumb playtesters, how [I]does[/I] Valve get these kind of people?

[QUOTE=tempunary;47653641][video=youtube;ei_VsQHlLy0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei_VsQHlLy0[/video][/QUOTE] Original post: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1458694&p=47652888&viewfull=1#post47652888[/url] For those who are unaware, this is a fork of Team Fortress 2 Classic mod, version 1.8.3.1 specifically. You can read about TF2C in the OP of the linked thread.

Oh god, I want that Xash3d to be ported to iOS too, I want to play HL on my iPad. I don't give a shit if it can't be released on the App Store, a Jailbroken app is fine as well.

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;47656126]since, well, they're not really into making games anymore.[/QUOTE] This will be changed when Source 2 is ready. L4D3 would be perfect to utilize it. Improved AI Director, Levelstreaming, content creation for better support, etc. [QUOTE=Steve Stump;47656121]Speaking of dumb playtesters, how [I]does[/I] Valve get these kind of people?[/QUOTE] I think they just pull people from the streets and ask them if they ever played a game in their lives. If they say no, then they are the perfect playtesters.

I'm pretty sure Valve still hire hobos to do most of their work. Steam Support is entirely hobos. Some hobos do well and get decent positions at Valve (see: Chet Faliszek)

[QUOTE=Butthurter;47655688]well hey at least i got to see a character with loathful ai get stabbed to near death so thats a plus[/QUOTE]what about the ai is that bad?

[QUOTE=artDecor;47659473]what about the ai is that bad?[/QUOTE] She constantly blocks doorways and gets in front of your line of fire.

[QUOTE=Starlight 456;47659590]She constantly blocks doorways and gets in front of your line of fire.[/QUOTE] So all the rebels too, then. Alyx isn't an isolated case, really, and she was never that bad for me in Episode 1. And in the original HL2 you get like two scenes (that I can remember) in the entire game where you fight directly alongside her, she rushes both if given the opportunity, and both are pretty short besides the plaza defense.

I know this was a while back in this thread but does anyone have the names of the fonts used in Half-Life, OF, HL2, HL2 Beta, Black Mesa, Etc?

From a few pages back: [QUOTE=HASL;47545528]Guys, i just spent some time to find what font are used in Half-Life HUD. So, First Half-Life use Trebuchet MS Opposing Force - OCR A Std Half-Life 2 Beta - OCR Bczyk Half-Life 2 - DIN Pro Black Mesa (2012 version) - SV Basic Manual [t]http://i.imgur.com/pmo3NjD.png[/t][/QUOTE]
