Valve Software - HL2 Ep.2 GDC 07 In-Depth Interview

[Fredo5227]

It's awesome that PS3 is Valves favorite console now because it's just like a pc.

[aceyage]

EA and Valve.... there couldn't be two more oppositional companies. One has lost track a long time ago, sold out and rushes out mediocre games and the other is still delivering quality titles but take their time.

[MrZwaaWob]

lol Valve love to say fuck you to console it's funny.

[MarcoMinnemann]

omg don't show this ugly EA logo xD

[chuck1994able]

Valve doesn't need any of the consoles in order to succeed.

They rock !!!

[az12223]

@chuck1994able i heard the console versions of the orange box havent even got updates

[chuck1994able]

@az12223 fack PC is still the bast way to play games ;)

[leerman22]

@az12223 its physically imposable to get the major updates on the xbox 360 (being made so cheap), and EA runs the PS3 version so valve cant update it (Valve was to lazy to port it themselves).

[az12223]

@leerman22 smart move dont you agree?

[Cokange]

@az12223 It´s true

[SADXhacker]

You know... I wouldn't mind Seeing Portal on the Wii. it looks like it would work since the only Graphically intensive part of it were the portals themselves.

[HeMakesWhat]

I am pretty mad at Doug Lounbardi. in another interview. gabe sais that that valve would probably release a little teaser for EP3 at the end 2009. But then doug stops gabe, and sais that It woun't happen. AAAAAARRRGHH!!!

btw! doug is standing beside the worst thing of all. A virus, that every game at the surface of earth have feared more than any thing else. so EVIL, that every time i see the logo of DOOM. My soul burst into flames.

[Keeperz1]

GIVE US EPISODE 3 YOU BASTARDS!!!

[TraNWhiZ]

@Keeperz1 STFU GAY

[rronak95]

hate the new youtube? protest at youtubes channel in the comment section!

[Generichero325]

Weird, at 0:26 the hl2 thing shows the beta skins... weird!

[MarcelGERMAN]

It also has the Episode Two Beta picture. Were Alyx was supposed to fall down from a bridge.

[xpac93]

In another interview I dunno where I saw it, but Gabe owned all PS3 orange box buyers.

He basically said he's not fucking with the complicated sony systems and the game will not be supported.

[Petchhyy]

Valve are typically a PC developer, that's why Steam exists and why there is such a great community around it. 360 only gets Valve games because of the almost standard hardware they use.

The PS3 was made to be hard to develop for. They were hoping it would have such a huge market share, developers would be forced to develop just for that console. Glad it didn't turn out that way.

[chride87]

haha

[EtaCarinaez]

Typical PS3 fanboy, Valve doesn't have money for Blu-ray discs? What the fuck does that mean, a good PC is five times more expensive than a console.

[elchamber]

So they're saying that their too simplistic to deal with the complications of one other systems. Well if they want to stick with a rock and a stone(shut up fanboys on both sides), they should stick with it. I doubt that PS3 owners will want to play their stuff, especially the treatment they got from Valve. Hell, with MW2, who needs L4D2... sleaze DLC made into a whole new game.

[AileStrikeer]

ps3 was a fail thats why valve is pouncing on it like ps3 wanted all gamemakers to do, and valve is stall us all so they can speed away from us and get more time for ep3 thats why were getting all these meet the spy,enginer and stuff and left for dead and some big updates for team fortress

because they dnt either know what to make for ep3 or there isnt going to be an ep3 but they dnt want to anounce that so they keep there marketing and rep off the people all hanging on a thread for ep3 to come!

[OutSpokenGamer]

5:15

sony has been saling more then 360 annually... hmm no need for crappy devs anyways..

[0Francine0]

I think you mean "Selling".

Who fucking cares about sells when there's quality games to be played?

Why even fucking deny that 360 has quality games? You fucking idiotic generic fanboy.

[OutSpokenGamer]

He obviously cares about sells witch is a stupid excuse to keep awa from the PS3 If you are a real dev, then sells whould be a priority but not your full purpose of making a game.. And no the xbox doesnt have that many quality games at all, it actuall has the most least quality games out of all consolse, th wii and the ps3 have the best exclusives out there. And having left 4 dead on the ps3 wouldnt hurt at all, actually it could be a better game on the ps3 if they take advantage of its hardware

[0Francine0]

Get that fanboy brain fixed please.

"xbox doesn't have that many quality games at all"

What the fuck are you smoking?

[OutSpokenGamer]

It doesnt.. There isnt a game on the Xbox that maks me feel like I need to buy another one (the one I owned broke within 3 months) Look at the pathetic line-up of games this year only 9 sad exclusives with a high failure rate that is finally being fixed after 3 years into this gen PATHETIC, PS3 on the other hand, 32 AWESOME EXCLUSIVES reliable.. these Valve bitches. are just bitching, 32 exclusives voids everything they say abou the console.. al they are saying is they are to lazy

[0Francine0]

You're a sad sad fanboy and a disgrace to the gaming community. People like you give gaming a bad name.

[OutSpokenGamer]

LMAO you insult me cuase you cant counter my argument.. funny... I'm not a fanboy, I'm just informered. and aware of the bulshit.. all the Anti PS3 hype is being exposed..

[0Francine0]

Kid, you've got fanboy written all over you.

The lack of proper spelling.

The "always looking for a fight" attitude

Talking trash about another console

It's all there. Now go troll somewhere else.

[OutSpokenGamer]

LOL Your the fanboy dude... Anti PS3, for no reason (oh wait it doesnt sell, thats a god reason for me to stay a PC/360 fanbitch) and Valve are the ones talking trash abou the PS3. they can try and say all they want. NuaghtyDog, GuarillaGames, ICO TEAM and maaaaany many more all shit on his comment about the PS3

[0Francine0]

Quit sucking Sony's cock.

Grow up.

Anti PS3, lmao.

[Leandro5000100]

@OutSpokenGamer Consoles suck and thats it, asshole! PC is the best!

[killkcow]

@Leandro5000100 dude stop shoving a 12 foot poll up your ass

[Leandro5000100]

@killkcow I actually forgot about this comment! LOL! anyway: I only said that because Some guy was being an annoying fanboy and I got pissed! So... I dunno I've run out of things to say o_oU

[lSFNl]

I hope they still stay strong with PC :l

[fubudge]

I think they should branch out, if only because it means more money for them. More money means better budgets means better games on PC. Idk about you, but I want the best experience for EP3

[ninjaseven]

no doubt they will their lead will always be PC which means us PC gamers get the best =D

[RainingMetal]

I guess Valve could start out with some sort of single-player spin-off of Team Fortress 2 with graphics akin to Super Mario Galaxy. They could come up with some sort of new engine for their Wii games (they could surprise you, you never know).

[FreemanBG]

Yeah ! I want to know the name too :D !

[porkinmycorkhole]

when's ep 3 coming out, arrrrgggghhhh!!!!!

[bizzare3]

when is portal 2 coming out, arrrrgggghhhh!!!!!

[davidworksonline]

I have lots of reasons to think that portal 2 = hf 3. :)

I predict Chell and her Portal Gun will show up in Half-Life 2 : episode 3. 'Cause some early concept art shows some Advisors near the Borealis, a ship of our friends at Aperture Science! Maybe Chell will be helping Gordon and Alyx or something! :)

[Atnv33]

Shut Up!

[LaddieGalicia]

dont expect it

[Halfer1]

I hate AE backround!...they work in Valve, so that must be HL2 backround or something like this.

[runie360]

AE?

[lolz2141]

OMG DOUG LOMBARDI IS MY UNCLE!

[laalex98]

lol so the guy thats gonna make lord of the rings 4 which is coming out, is my auncle and nobody cares right? right so shut up.

[ratzhushk]

ofc nobody cares

obama is my uncle and he pwn ur uncles

[supatails135]

OMG AWESOME! I wanna work with valve when I grow up, either that or create my own company, I have already started making alot of completely custom games and maps for gmod and hl2dm and counter strike. Just working my way up the latter of succesion! =D

[erikouwehand]

lol hahhaha sure mate!!! hahahaha

[bigboss25262]

HAHAH, they used his face for half-life 2 character models, no wonder his face is so familiar! I've passed Half-life over 20 times. LOL

[qv76]

Gotta love the EA background >.>

[Flomasta223]

fuckin' ea i swear i'm gonna kill them

[1Ekollon]

Valve is the best ever won over 50 prices with hl1 and will allways won prices for everything,THEy RULE! OMFG YEAH THEY RULEEE ROCK ON VALVE!!!

[Anarchemitis]

You mean 'prizes'.

[1Ekollon]

whatevva

[catman103]

haha "we missed the wii....... no pun intended..."

[whenderson0]

He actually said, "We missed the Wii ... we .. no pun intended"

[catman103]

oh, lol

[HAXDproductions]

holy shit the orange box is the best half-life 2 beats halo by lightyears and team fortress beats halo 3 online

[captainpiepants]

Agreed. Halo is nothing.

[FishnChips65]

Amen

[darrouken]

@HAXDproductions in your opinion...

[vogelrocker]

@HAXDproductions ANd portal is 1 of the most creative games ever!

[hl2tdm]

what is EA all about?

[triFeral]

zetenien, EA is just what Valve uses for publication (packaging and distribution).

[hl2tdm]

yeah i know, but why does it need to be in the background, like the interview is not in EA... right?

[rep4ever]

they are the BEST

[1Ekollon]

Valve is the best! Go valve never stop create games <3

[RodrigoZanotta]

Valve is awesome,Half-Life is awesome!

Orange Box is... AWESOME!

[theoriginalrandomman]

Portal wii would be good... maybe someday...

[hthglllkhgjg]

orange box is so fucking awesome

[DontXRunXOk]

these guys deserse fucking medals because theyre so good

[Stormtjakka]

HL2 and Portal are great..Only disadvantage that you finisched both games really quick. Gameplay at HL2 ep 2 is the same really.But it's way better in the graphics and action. Portal is just awesome...Fits the role as an extra fun sidegame...There you go...My personal review :D

[hakadalmann]

Don't talk shit about any of the consoles

[dAsHhOuNdTeRrOr]

my life is complete if i talk whit gave newell :))))

[t0n1cer]

consoles suck

[BolterBolter]

That big EA devil sign in the background... Ugh.

[pumpgunkiller]

i want hl1 for wii :)

[worms656]

the orange box is on steam !

[Nem33]

Porsches don't sell as much as Fords......*hinthint*

[hawk28912]

rofl breaking the rule of valve

[fabioproductions]

wow that suks their telling people how ps3 is selling shit HAHA ps3 sucks

[jegon2000]

PS3 doesn't suck, the prices suck, the console is out of this world, the graphics are incredible, its faster than the 360, doest crash as much, is quieter and looks nicer, and some of the games coming out for it are gonna be awesome, (try playing Oblivion of 360 then on PS3, you'll get what im talking about from that one game). and before you ask, i have both consoles.

[cloak211]

PC Version is superior.

[theocan]

i cant wait for half life 2 episode 2 its going to be FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[bundaitube]

PS3 probably isn't selling comparing to the other consoles at the moment, because of its high price. And TF2 is meant to be look like cartoony.

[cymrucymreig]

ha....ha....hahahahahahahahaha­.....oh..i dont know

[cymrucymreig]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaah.......ha.....haha......­ha

[cymrucymreig]

the ps3 isnt selling ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[godfather9]

why is there an EA logo behind him.

[halofan2000]

team fortress 2 looks like the incredibles movie

[jeisc]

padseenoodle, they only had the music to get you irritated

[geraldhuangshaoxuan]

team fortress 2 look so cartoon

[sunslap]

its suppost to

[padseenoodle]

Do they think we want to hear the constant noise of crappy music, behind the ENTIRE interview?

[Bibbly53]

The cool thing is, because they are stand alone HLFLF games they have room for more sparkle and shine.

[bighit006]

as much as i like the idea of getting new half life games quicker id still rather the "big blockbuster" from valve

[craeyon]

Excuse me? is that comment directed towards me?

[F0ilman]

if EA took over valve that sorta sucks but atleast there wont be that guy with the valve in his eye anyway i cant wait

[sjambek101]

valve is the shit thats why ea wanted to publish it

[perezzle12]

If I can get a 360 This will be one of my first purchases.

[ElvenArcher3000]

*Sighs* Oh EA how I hate thee... C&C3 was a huge disappointment. I sure hope Valve doesn't let EA control em too much..

[BlaznaznTerror]

What the hell are you talking about? Command and Conquer 3 was a badass game.

[Crawler101010101]

C&C3 was a dissapointment to those who actually give a damn about the series. They took a huge step backwards from Tiberian Sun, they never should have done that.

[KohrsAKT]

WTF r u talkin about C and C 3 Tiberium wars i awesome..

Tiberian Sun is awesome 2 fuck u BITCH

[ukleeham]

EA is Valves publisher these days

[ElvenArcher3000]

Err, does EA have anything to do with Valve?

[gtochad]

i was wonderin that to elvenarcher

[craeyon]

EA is taking of VALVE for the distribution of the games. I dunno whats happening to Steam though. BTW, EA took over VALVE. I think.

[superdinoman]

I am glad how much these games have inspired people

[NathanMod]

I can;t wait!

[Ldz255]

its not for wii i think

[Braders88]

I highly doubt it will be - wii would prob blow up with these physics and tech

[Ldz255]

same here cant wait :D

[bjarnigeir]

nice!! i woad like to play all those games
