Half-life 2 Cut Content - Is it me or dose the cut content look better than what we got? - Games

I work at Half-Life.

[QUOTE=Chrille;49952294]In a fit of boredom last night, I looked up the women who are listed in the Half-Life 2 credits. Considering there are so few of them, finding out what job they had was relatively easy. Just to be thorough, I was going to check the credits file of the anon beta, if there is any, but I never got around to it. Still, I doubt it would be any different. There are a couple of names like Charlie or Leslie that could be either male of female, but that has been accounted for. So unless this woman is named Brian or something, she's not real. Julie Caldwell - Project Coordinator Kellie Cosner - Marketing and Community Liaison Martha Draves – consultant, group manager at Microsoft Laura Dubuk – concept artist Leslie Hall - Partner Royalty Accounting Manager Kristen Perry – concept artist Danika Rogers – modeler/environment artist KayLee Vogt – office manager[/QUOTE] Alright, if you don't believe me, I really don't care. I never revealed her actual name either, which I won't do.

[QUOTE=Marcolade;49947635]I could've sworn it went something like Axel hacked in, watched for a month or two, Valve eventually realized it, so he took what he could and bounced out of there. A short while after, he was hacked by some folks from myg0t and they ended up releasing his payload.[/QUOTE] OOOH Okay I was mistaken. I was thinking it was the other way around where Axel got ahold of the content and released it. Alright, my bad

Axel Gembe is the one who hacked into Valve's servers. He was there for quite some time. He fixed a couple of bugs in the code as well because he had problems running the game on his Geforce 2. A guy from myg0t then hacked Axel G. and stole everything. They leaked the source code, and he leaked the game content (see anon-hl2.nfo).

Nice! The model may not be perfect, but at least it's better than this one [IMG]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/images/2/20/Citizen_gasmask.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090331163205&path-prefix=en[/IMG]

[QUOTE=KillerKo4565;49993295]The true citizen knows to apply vaseline onto their own clothes at all times. [sp]seriously fix this weird phong, looks really odd[/sp][/QUOTE] Keep the phong on the jumpsuit part, try to get rid of it on the apron. After that, it's perfect.

I find it rather hilarious how everyone keeps shitting on Snood's model even when he's recognized it as being bad years ago. Keep it up men!

Hey somebody's gotta be the quality control master around here.

Am I the only one who likes the phong on OddDoc's model just the way it is? I actually do, 'cause hazmat suits made of vinyl-like material would actually look like that. So, guys, if you're gonna tweak it, please leave the original values commented out, not replaced :P

Which one of us is more blind? The phong on the existing model is absolutely fine is what I'm saying. Funny that people used to criticize the phong on CASTE mod's cremator for exactly the same reason and it's basically the same material, lore-wise. And the people who made that are the ones who are making this one, hmm.

The rigging is wonky and the smoothing is horrendous.

BuTou has posted a video about the Particle Storm: [video=youtube;bvu1p5VHVQg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvu1p5VHVQg[/video] A shame it doesn't have more, because it looked interesting.

Honestly that's kinda spooky.

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;50021134]Honestly that's kinda spooky.[/QUOTE] Spooky and a little underwhelming, but I don't know what I was expecting, based on years of imagination and .wav files without any context.

[QUOTE=mySvenLabs;50021155]Spooky and a little underwhelming, but I don't know what I was expecting, based on years of imagination and .wav files without any context.[/QUOTE] See I figured it'd be a neato particle effect with some physics disruption and maybe an aoe attack. This honestly is a little unnerving, now I'm imagining it as a sort of gamble, I know it's there but how long until is goes off? I think it'd be more interesting looking if it had a sort of shimmer to it, harder to see but you'd notice something is up.

Why would you have to kill it, sounds like it's meant to pressure the player to either run or control as a weapon in some way. Just because it's referenced as an npc, doesn't mean it has to be killable.
