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

Valve caught a plot-hole behind the development process. Typically they had these levels planned out, but they also decided the combine would taint the humans food/water supply with chemicals that wouldn't allow reproduction. Then they were like, "Well then why do we have this whole facility with child workers?", etc etc. It just didn't add up, so the children, the facility and everything related to that was forced to be cut out.

*Scrubbed*

[QUOTE=Sims_doc;39930830]Something tells me the child worker thing was push out of the game by the watchdog for gaming.[/QUOTE] It's because of the reproductive suppression field.

*Scrubbed*

[QUOTE=Sims_doc;39931776]Well, when was the reproductive suppression field added to concept? because it could be link back to what i said before.[/QUOTE] I see another reason to no children, the morals of First-Person Shooters (But Fallout has children in FPS, is that bad? Well, they had to compensate by making them kiddies undying...)

*Scrubbed*

I remember asking this; "What is happening now with Missing Information? Has it been cancelled or discontinued?"

*Scrubbed*

I want this to be brought back into action: [IMG]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090818211131/half-life/en/images/thumb/1/1f/Crab_Synth_walking.jpg/640px-Crab_Synth_walking.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=BenjaminTennison;39932489]"What is happening now with Missing Information? Has it been cancelled or discontinued?"[/QUOTE]Well, you're in luck! I was browsing through random videos on YouTube when I discovered what I presume to be a Missing Information developer channel featuring exclusive [i]and recent[/i] leaked videos detailing the current state of hit Source mod Missing Information! Take a look: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LApcLcbhqNE[/media] And, strangely enough, this channel also features a leaked development video of the current state of the long-awaited Xen chapter from the hit Source mod Black Mesa: Source! Check it out: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLnswF-ejmg[/media]

[QUOTE=Sims_doc;39933105]I'm not even sure what that is, i know its seen in [I]half life 2[/I] leaving the citadel but for what it is. I'm sure its something to do with Episode 3 or Episode 4 content. [url]http://sectorw.wikia.com/wiki/Crab_Synth[/url] And yes, thats right turns out Episode 4 was copyrighted by Value.[/QUOTE] Turns out? We've known about an episode 4 for ages. It was scrapped ages ago though.

[QUOTE=Sims_doc;39933105]Value.[/QUOTE] why the fuck do you keep calling them this

Thanks for the early April Fool, Marphy! Actually, these two videos look like Daikatana & DOOM to me. Looks like it'll be called the Bingo Mod after all, since ProZak, ScarT and co. originally intended to change its name

[QUOTE=BenjaminTennison;39934154]Thanks for the early April Fool, Marphy! Actually, these two videos look like Daikatana & DOOM to me.[/QUOTE] Second game is Serious Sam Doesn't even look like doom what are you on about

[QUOTE=Butthurter;39934062]at least its not VALV[SUP]E[/SUP][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Chrille;39934218]Second game is Serious Sam Doesn't even look like doom what are you on about[/QUOTE] Demons on fire and flying Cyclop heads (Cacodemon lookalike) are the first things that remind me of DOOM, I've yet to see Pentagrams (and a HUD with the character's face showing how healthy he/she is) in later previews

[QUOTE=Sims_doc;39934748]Ah, Thread De-rail! Anyone know why the stalker was made passive?[/QUOTE] One attacks Gordon in episode 1...

They're slaves, not soldiers.

[QUOTE=QueenMelanie;39899062]I am sure the Hydra would be possible with today's technology. As for the classic xenian aliens, Black Mesa showed us they can definitely be done well.[/QUOTE] the hydra worked, it was just super boring. it's cool to look at for a few minutes but other than that it's pretty pointless.

[QUOTE=JustGman;39936617]the hydra worked, it was just super boring. it's cool to look at for a few minutes but other than that it's pretty pointless. [/QUOTE] I'm just wondering if the Hydra would've worked if it was featured in the game into a similar fashion the Tentacles were an obstacle/boss in the original Half-Life. Heavily scripted, yet functioning in a way. That'd make them (if more than one tentacle were used) a boss of the sorts. I can imagine going through the sewers and certain parts of the canals in a section designed for the Hydra and it'd pop out of the sewer pipes and various holes in the ground to try and attack you and the nearby unsuspecting Combine Metrocops. Using the world and the props around you to avoid it or distract it.

Who else likes the look of the OICW more than the Pulse Rifle?

[QUOTE=hogofwar;39934953]One attacks Gordon in episode 1...[/QUOTE] The only time I remember a Stalker technically attacking you is if when you walk into their beam or during that bit where you try and activate those platforms when you try and fix the core.

[QUOTE=BenjaminTennison;39932157]I see another reason to no children, the morals of First-Person Shooters (But Fallout has children in FPS, is that bad? Well, they had to compensate by making them kiddies undying...)[/QUOTE] I think there's a law which prevents the death of children to be present in video games, it's why you can't kill kids in Fallout 3 and Skyrim

I don't think it's technically against the law, but what game studio in their right mind would proudly claim that you can kill children in their game? Also yeah, Fallout 3 had children, but they were protected by that unkillable NPC effect that other, more plot-driven characters had.

[QUOTE=Durrsly;39938472]Who else likes the look of the OICW more than the Pulse Rifle?[/QUOTE] The OICW actually looks like a AR, while the Pulse Rifle looks weird.

I love the OICW skin and I use it alot in HL2. I'd wish someone retextured it, it needs LOVE

[QUOTE=Durrsly;39938472]Who else likes the look of the OICW more than the Pulse Rifle?[/QUOTE] OICW looked like a generic military gun. Pulse rifle looks alien.
