"OMG" is an understatement to this video from HL2 from E3. HL2 is gonna make history again.

Yowzerz!!!!!!!!!

Blimey, that looks stunning! I love how he shoved the table infront of the door to stop the enemy getting in! Great stuff...
If you look closely, watch how you move and how the characters move, look how Gordon fires the gun...It looks and plays like Half-Life!
That's good news. I was worried incase the game might play and feel totally different to Half-Life. What I'm looking most forward to is the promised "intelligent" AI. I don't usually play single player games because the computer AI always suck! That's why I play online games only.

Cannot wait for it!

Well considering how the AI peeked through the window and then his AI freind kicked the door in...

man hl one scared me. i jumped real good at some points. this just makes it plain eery!

echs · May 2003

Yeah, I read that the AI looks at it's surrounding to see if it can do anything interesting, such as looking through windows to see if their target is in the building, or bashing blocked doors open.
To see if it can do any special moves...
I bet it's such a creepy game! The face huggers look more horrid <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>
As if the ones in Half-Life weren't enough!

Cyborgguineapig · May 2003

Yeah and I bet if you were to place that washing machine in front of the door you would prevent the AI from kicking in the door, atleast make it harder. I'm quite curious as too how the complete environment is effected by everything, for example blowing the stilts out from that crate making it fall down. How is that not scripted I dunno, its just the whole incredible physics engine, either way it makes me drool and now every other game even Doom3 looks ridiculous in comparison to HL2's physics.

Ollj · May 2003

im waiting for the first guy that writes about porting NS to another engine to slay him.

Zel · May 2003

doom 3 is planned to be a first person horror movie. the graphics are stunning, but the physics can be just normal.

hl2 is planned to be the next all-kinds-of-awesome game that lasts the next five years. and it is.

echs · May 2003

Heh, that has to be a first...You can kill enemies by using your environment. Saves on ammo consumption <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>
I wonder how fully destructible the environments are...It's cool you can check your surroundings, and wonder how you can manipulate things to kill your enemies...

cannot wait for either more demos, or eventually, the game to come out. cos that just looks so beautiful, and like you all say, engine pretty sleek as well.

GhostfaceKillah · May 2003

OMG!!! KICKASS!!!!

Cyborgguineapig · May 2003

Even if Doom3 is a competitor to HL2 ( kinda have doubt about that now) HL2 still wins as Modding for the Incredible game will be just as easy if not easier than it was for HL1 plus HL has such a big mod community. HL2 will majorly be a threat to all other games and their developers and the industry. Jeese so afr I've gone through I think 13 diapers, one for every time I viewed the movie.

And supposedly their are three other videos leaked somewhere but I can't seem to find them.

Ezekiel · May 2003

well if you do.... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Zel · May 2003

of course theyll be competitors, but not for too long, as they are designed differently, Doom3 is a single player game and it might have a deathmatch thrown on top. itll be super awesome to paly like twice.

hl2 is designed for its modability and whatnot.

anyway, like 1.1 speculation, this thread wont really go anywhere.

O_O arg! get me a sock!........

NumbersNotFound · May 2003

That is the most beautiful game I have ever seen..

I mean... the graphics are awesome, the weapons are excellent.. and the techincal end of the game adds to gameplay..

The table kept the door shut.. things fly off the objects which are picked up..

The AI is superb... looking through teh window, bashing the door down...

such a good game... sensory overload.... must get HL2...

people are comparing D3 and HL2. one of which we have seen a prealpha, and the other a few screenies.

Catpoker · May 2003

i dont think this is real.... i cant belive such things exist.... its to high tech.....

this cant be done..... that is just CGI <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Hm... the new AI looks impressive shooting from windows, but theres no big deal about "using" the enviroment. Things like that are being done on almost all Team Fortress mods, but to a lesser extent. The huge log that balances and kills 4 guys on its path? Or the big blue crate that falls down after being exploded? Why just one side was damage by the grenade? It doesnt surprise me, really. Its all scripted. Its easy to do if thats what you do for a living. (get paid to make games)

And it may be just me, but I liked doom 3 graphics better. At least the gameplay movie I saw from doom3 looked better than this HL2 one, IMO.

I hope no one gets offended, its just opinions.

*Edit* is there another link to the second movie that is not hosted by gamespot? I have major problems with streamed media from gamespot, it plays like 0.2 frames /sec (or 1 frame every 5 seconds) it sucks.

thats just the thing.... its not scripted at all, all random, all ai

Madjai · May 2003

it looked like gordan just shot the beams that were sitting on the wooden tower, which i would think makes it scripted. if he shot one of the wooden beams and broke it and then the metal beams went flying i wouldnt consider it scripted, just made for the sole purpose of using the environment to kill some badies.

oh and i especially liked how a couple of badies noticed the beams coming and started to run and only one got out of the way, now that is beautiful AI. although the guy who did survive seemed to prefer to shoot at you instead of avoiding the beam coming back...

Zel · May 2003

ive read an interview somewhere that said the blue dumpster thing is actually a part of the physics engine, not a scripted sequence, but i have a hard time believing that the big beam that swings back and forth is not scripted, because if you notice, it never slows down, but instead keeps swinging all the way back and forth.

sadly until it and its level designer are released we cannot know which is truely part of the game, or instead part of the map.

also, if the complex physics ARE part of the entire engine, that could explain why they left Xen out of this game, maybe the engine cannot support floating things, as everything is affected by gravity! (sure they said it was cuz no one liked Xen in hl1, but....)

Madjai · May 2003

the engine can definetly support floating things because that fancy weapon gordan used to pick up objects and throw them at people did just that, made objects float.

Rion · May 2003
