Excited after finally graduating kindergarten after 20 gruelling years, "W****n S***********g" <BIGBROTHER@CIA.GOV> burst forth on this most auspicious occasion with the following: > .. >> Looks like we're facing a 2009 release?

The blast pit monster looks truly awesome (lots of additional new dialogue? I don't remember the sci yelling "its got my leg!" before). Thinking of which, did you notice all those samey-looking scientists all over the place? because I didn't! They've done a great job in making a whole load more unique faces by the looks of things..At least thats the impression the video gives.. though with the number of 'throwaway' scientists in the original, i'm sure there'll have to be at least some repeated appearances of sci models - such as the doomed scientist near the beginning who falls to his death when the platform collapses. Actually, I think the last time I was *that* impressed by such attention to tiny detail was.. around 10 years ago:) I wonder if they remembered to put the pie in the microwave?  SignatureBen Cottrell "Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out" Whoa. Maybe this will prompt someone to make a decent movie of the three Half-Life stories. Movie 1 - Black Mesa Movie 2 - Return to Nova Prospekt (?) or Citadel Movie 3 - Final Showdown. Bet the internet takes a hit that day that puppy is released for download...

I'd love to see a Half-Life movie rendered in the Source engine in the same way that trailer has been cut together. Indeed, the means to do so has been there for quite some time now, all we need is some clever soul (or a team of, more likely..) to get down and work the magic :) SignatureBen Cottrell "Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out" >> Whoa. >> Maybe this will prompt someone to make a decent movie of the three [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > has been there for quite some time now, all we need is some clever soul > (or a team of, more likely..) to get down and work the magic :) This would probably beat anything Hollywood could put together. The story line is somewhat difficult in the first game since it is almost completely solitary. Hard to do that in a film. HL2 had a little more dialogue and interaction between players and NPCs. Maybe when I retire... but don't hold your breath, that is a few years off still. And, getting further off as the stock market tanks.... Squat > This would probably beat anything Hollywood could put together. Undoubtedtly so - Apparently the best offers Valve have had from various hollywood directors have involved story arc-twists along the lines of "..and then Gordon falls in love" > The story > line is somewhat difficult in the first game since it is almost completely > solitary.

Just go and look at some of the early films starring 'Governor' Arnie, back when he could barely string 3 words of english together without it seeming forced :) > Maybe when I retire... but don't hold your breath, that is a few years off > still.
