Gonna post this in all the threads on the topic, fresh out of Photoshop, here's some full-sized wallpapers. Resized them and removed the watermark.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;36528075]yeah but didn't they throw out a lot of the old hl2 universe because of the beta leak?[/QUOTE]
iirc valve said that it was already gone with before the leak.
First thought with Alyx looking so different = Different dimension. I mean some of the clothing looks like it could be another Alyx. Potentially conicide with Apeture technology on the Boeralis?

Well, my Ushanka has a different version of the Officer's pin, but the center piece is the same.
No, yours has extra stuff around it.

The extra leaves signify it as a higher rank. General vs Officer.

You're one of those people that jizzes their pants over[I] how cool Russia is[/I], but probably knows jack shit about it.
To derail from this incredibly exciting discussion over a facepunch user's picture, I'd like to talk about the male in those pictures. Is it really Gordon? What happened to his glasses? Maybe he was just a hipster all along, or they broke in the crash and all throughout the game it's just blurs upon blurs.
All I can say is that fat black lady better be sassy.

Cool! Do it again!

stop posting that ushanka, you defile it.
Ah, Facepunch hasn't changed much since '08, everyone always jumps on the guy who posts his face, and dares to stand out from the crowd. Oh well.
Anyway, in an effort not to derail this thread further, I'm honestly curious how many of these concept pieces are still relevant. They are several years old, after all. From the looks of things, Episode 3 will be way different than Episode 2 or 1, with all new playermodels and everything. I'm looking forward to it.

You went from "LOL, LOOK AT MY YOUSHANCA! RUSHA IS SO KEWL!" to "DUDE, I'M TOTALLY UNIQUE! I'M NOT LIKE THE REST OF YOU, I GO AGAINST THE GRAIN!"
They're mocking you for looking like a prat and acting like one. Get over it.
Anyway, yeah, hopefully many of these works are still close to how they will appear in game, and that we'll get to see these new appearance. Having Alyx and the others update to a an arctic appearance would be a welcome change.

Kinda-sorta. They were building the game up and had the beta concepts all the way back in the E3 beta demo and all - I think - but Valve was taking too long, they allegedly had done too little, and weren't very happy with their work. When the beta leak occured, they partially used it as a means to dump a large amount of what they'd conceptualized and built and restart things from the ground-up into a different product that became the final release.
At least, that's what I remember. I could be entirely wrong.
I dislike this. Episode 2 best episode.
You can't judge a game by its concept art.
And that, kids, is what you get when you mix socially awkward 15 year olds who obviously don't shower with Soviet history.
Does he go out in public with that? I mean, it's cool to collect that stuff but I've seen people go outside and wear that stuff and try and act badass... but they look like you... which just looks pathetic.
Yeah, I wear it in public during the winter. It's actually a very warm and comfortable hat. Nobody bats an eye.
Anyway, We are kinda derailing this thread with all the talk about me. If, for whatever reason you'd like to keep chatting, look me up on steam. Other than that, back on topic, please.

I'm russian and I think you don't deserve to wear an ushanka.

I'm sure that Episode 3 will stay on Source so that Valve can use assets from previous games. But by the time HL3 rolls, they will probably introduce a new one.
Today is a good day
