Apparently a new version of Steam too, but mine doesn't seem to want to update, and I don't know how to make it do so.

and the week before..
remember like 4 months ago when the new hl patch was due out "any day now" ? yeah...
one thing about valve, they are absolutely HORRIBLE with announced dates. If Valve actually ships HL2 by Sept. 30th, it will be the first time in the history of the company they haven't been late. :P
it's just the Gman portion of the E3 movie in high res.
I just hope they arn't going to be releasing bits and peaces of the E3 video...
This is the sort of promotional video for which competing game designers look at it, then break down and cry <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

hahaha yeah they will
its a file format that someone owns and has exclusive rights to.
The movie file on steam is an executable file and does all the playing for you with a player that I've never heard of. I'm assuming its proprietary, it might not be. Either way its damn annoying since it doesn't seem to work.

Wasn't out when I posted in the thread nub. Besides, its still late, as it was due out a week ago. I don't wanna hear your griping if HL falls back to November 6th :P
And so now that I've seen it, blah. That's it? Weeks of hype for that? Gah. I was expecting it to be the whole long thing, but nooo they took the most boring part of the entire presentation. The real kicker though was I've been messing with the Steam BS for about a week, only to have the download finish from 3D Gamers first.
And yeah, dumb of em to use Bink. A high quality divx would have been much better, and when you liscense it they coulda put that in non-codec required exe format too, that's what Blizzard did w/ the warcraft 3 videos...
So I guess its 1 short clip a week till HL2 is out eh?
You know I'm just kidding Doom, lighten up man. I was thinking maybe the use of bink was for quality issues. That video looks lossless to me, can even a large divx vid give that quality?
The last Matrix Reloaded trailer was only about 70mb, and the video resolution on it was ungodly high, better quality than a DVD.
Not a bad codec.

<i>So the guys over on the halflife2 forums figured out a way to hex edit the cache file and get the Kleiner's Lab video out a day early. So without further adieu, here it is via Filerush.com / Bit Torrent. </i>
Took a pic to show the quality, real good!

(Too big too show it on the forum, think of those poor 56k)
Just because it isn’t new? Lol.
The quality is 100times better than the 500meg one and good to show peoples that how it will look on their computer (This is a video, not ingame).
Hey, its on my hard drive already, I'll do whatever the hell I want with my own data. :)
[edit]w00t! Got it haxed and viewed. Yay. If only they'd show the ones where gordon is.. you know.. actually playing... Still, I can't get over how realistic Alyx's collerbone looks...[/edit]
I was amazed by that myself. Anyone got the old e3 vid kicking around? Which vid is comming next?

Probably the one where gordon has a pistol and goes into the house and uses radiator shield to shoot the combine guy into the coke can, that whole sequence. hope they have the zombies blowing up w/ the cars part still :D
I'm a bit disappointed they skipped the 'zoo' part. where they had the pachinko machine and stuff. :/
