Great video, I love it. Really shows how cool Half Life could have been, and plus, it's just neat :D

How big was the cheque you got from VALVE to pimp their product again?

Did you even look at the video before you said that? Did you even read my post?

At least read a post before you reply to it.

I don't see what's so great about it. It might have made a nice trailer but if you have already played the game then it's nothing new.

I didn't play the game.

Song didn't appeal that much to me. Good work on composing the video, though it doesn't interest me in the slightest.

Yes I did read your post, I was just poking fun at the "lets all bash deepblue because he posts way too much XBox stuff" bandwagon.

...Except I'm not deepblue...
...and this doesn't have anything to do with Xbox...
...and this is the first time I've ever posted something HL2 related...

Jesus... could you children please cut it out and talk about the movie, or if you have nothing constructive to say... just don't post at all?

Edit:

Having watched it, I have to say I did like it. It's a shame they didn't use the high definition cinema textures for the charachters as the engine clearly wasn't running at top specs. Nice music and synching though with some good selections of scenes as well. Thanks for posting that up :)

The movie is cool! :yes: :D

I'm not a child, dammit! *Runs into the corner and starts pouting*

Anyway, I found the music video rather interesting, but I saw nothing that indicated how cool it could be, as all I saw was ordinary scenes from the game... unless you mean the cool it could be was referring to mr creepy (forgot his name) singing and dancing instead of talking.  That would be cool :D.

I'm not even going to bother to try and play it. ****ing things won't even work right under Windows XP.

Well I liked it. Rubbish game. Decent music video.

Great game for looking pretty and ripping things apart with physics. Not so great game for having fun.

I have Windows XP, and it works fine for me.

What exactly is the problem WMC?

Post by: WMCoolmon on October 08, 2005, 12:52:07 pm

On Win2k, either the video doesn't play, or the system is lagged all to hell while it does. On Linux, the video doesn't play (Probably codecs aren't properly installed)

On XP, the video usually refuses to play. Windows Update won't work, apparently the copy of XP that came with the laptop MS doesn't like.

Use Winamp.

www.winamp.com

It'll run it.

Alternatively, set up your computer better. I don't see how my copy of XP can run it flawlessly while yours suffers such problems.

Not a bad video but that thing runs like absolute CRAP. 2.4gHz machine with 1.5GB ram and a Radeon 9800 Pro with nothing else running and it chopped all to hell and back.


Oh, btw, does the game look like that? If so, why is everyone so impressed by the graphics? O.o

Probably not made at full technical ability. The g-man particulary looked ugly in that vid.

Then why don't you pimp the song???

Hehe cool. This stuff shows why Half Life 2 is just a glorified tech demo built on a solid game engine. ;)
