Valve Software - Half-Life 2: Episode 2 GC 2006 Interview

[Th3LetterH]

How much money was the first half life?

[Th3LetterH]

30 million dollars for the game or the engine?

In other words...DAAAAAMN

[ranar2011]

games that run on source engine rock~~~~~~

[AlexWearsHatsArt]

...did he just say over 30 million dollars o_0 ?

[ENDORPHINSAM]

@AlexWearsHatsArt $50,000,000 to be exact...

But if you think about it that's not alot compared to Rockstar, how they spent over $500,000,000 producing GTA 4, but also got 500,000,000 back within the first week.

[martinsloss]

i love all valve games, halo. and COD.

i may possibly be the most open-minded gamer ever.

[BlackTurtle82]

@martinsloss Keep dreaming, old-school gamers play more.

[MetroArtyom2033]

this video explains how Valve is ONE OF THE BEST GAMING COMPANIES EVAR!

I WANT MOAR!

[ChrisDevl]

All valve games rock.

[sonicheroes777]

Orange Box=HL2, HL2: Episode 1, HL2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2

Black Box= HL2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal

Fail=Team Fortress 2 for consoles

[ricefarmer912]

damn they were right.... they DID get the hardware right for the future 5 years.... the orange box with the original half life 2 looks better than some of the shooters NOW!

[ZeroClassD]

i have the orange box!!! :D wanna have the product key and activate it on steam???

[Atnv33]

Awesome interview. The music is good btw.

[viktordaher]

if you have the orange box you most find a sick hard password to your account. bcuz you will not be hacked with so many games? maybe this "j5k8sL001b3u8Oma926IU8H1Y" PS: don't use it!

[tealknightx]

no you dont

[bliglum]

orange box = best gaming value EVER!!!!!

[heydude09876]

orange box=portal=funnest game ever

[josephlafaele]

OrANGE BOXX REALLY DAT GOOD?

[bliglum]

Hell yeah, it's great!! It's like all the best of valve (except HL1 or L4d) in one box!

[crackhead226]

In one word.

YES!!!

[josephlafaele]

im confsed is portal part of half life 2? or a different game>?

[crackhead226]

Its a different game. It's not a shooter, more like a puzzle game. However it's still a part of the half life universe.

[josephlafaele]

Ooo Okay thanks. is it out? and is it available for ps3?

[crackhead226]

Yeah and it's has been out for like 2 years, lol. It's available for PC,360 and PS3.

[josephlafaele]

Kk THanks

[quadstrike]

yup

[liamchug123]

i had half life two but i lost it LOL

[MythosFT]

You can't lose it, it's in your steam account.

[Colamovies]

i got Orange Box and i love it!

[SEAKNIGHTRC]

is the half life games valve's best projects? i know the half life games are very good, but want to know if they have made something similar.

[can622]

i didn't really like half life 2 that much,not as good as the original. Also don't you think that Valve is stretching out the half life series a little bit?

[diehard12345678]

marcotoro you dumb fuck. It can be hes opinion, he doesnt like half life. There are enough people who dont like half life! is it that hard to undersand that there are people with different favorite games.

I like half life 2. But i wont call people a idiot because someone gives an Opinion.

Marcotoro and all who gave him thumps down, are the dumbest people on earth who only give about there own little useless opnion.

[diehard12345678]

For me half life is the best game, but there are more people on this planet who like other games. So stupit fanboyz, appreciate other people hes/her Opinion.

[Gordonfreeman502]

No, Half-Life is so awesome, you wanna know a series that SHOULD die: Final Fantasy

[can622]

Sorry I meant to say that I didnt like half life 2 as much as Half Life original, but thats still saying that half life 2 was awesome, also, Final Fantasy seserves to have it's dick cut off and shoved down its throat :D

[nastyguard007]

Final fantasy is great and all, but everything after VII, feels just like uninspired games made to get more money.

[heydude09876]

agree

[terrateB]

G-Man rules

[ELITEayon62]

i agree with you completely FF needs to die

[josephlafaele]

Soooo Goood....Thumbs Up

[jayjayteam]

@Gordonfreeman502 yup the games used to be good but the newest installment of ff sucks so fucking much ass

[Fredrik1ST]

@Gordonfreeman502 Never thought I would say it, but I fully agree. When the original creators (and last but not least Nobuo Uematsu, the composer) left Square absolutely everything went downhill!

[Diegox223]

@Gordonfreeman502 More than 14 games and those bastards won't die.

[TheLionlover4ever]

@Gordonfreeman502 your wrong final fantasy is great CALL OF DUTY SHOULD DIE!!!!.

[Netaro1000]

@TheLionlover4ever Hell yeah! COD is soooo boring!

[Gurgleschlortz]

@can622 It's because fans wanted them to. And half life 2 isn't the best, but look at the beta, if that hadn't been leaked we could be playing THAT instead.

[karolyzaz]

i love Valve games more than anything else

[HunterGrifff]

me 2

[DrGordonFreeman13]

J LOVE Valve GAMES!!!! XD

[RedDfan1]

i luv all these games. i hav completed portal, i am on hl2 ep 2 now and i luv 2 play tf2 as pyro, demoman, soldier or spy, they are my favs but i luv them all.

[mileylover97]

css and tf2 AND hl2 ROCK$

[godfather12m]

@mileylover97

NOT css

[AnimeFreak0000]

@mileylover97 Yeah, Counter Strike is sorta.. God awful. But by god TF2 and Half Life 2 is just godlike.

[blaster132]

@mileylover97 dont forget portal1 and 2! :D

[EstateZ42]

what was that game at 1:04?

cs cz?

[gordan1154]

not at 1:04 00:58 and yes counter strice(non-source engine)

[afnoporo21]

counter strike

[EstateZ42]

o okay thanks

[dragoons9009]

The Halo games suck. I love Valve games.

[afnoporo21]

HALO RULES HALF LIFE!!! Just kidding, God forgive me I actually just said that.

[DontXRunXOk]

tream fortress 2 is better then halo, that is how good tf2 is!

[CrazyGamer01]

i havent even played tf2 but the vids ive seen on youtube.... its gotta be cool

[fraglemacmagle]

isnt he just speaking about the orange box?

[sverror]

the source engine is getting kinda old imo..

but it can do so awesome things so it just doesn't matter!

[zenophas]

Portal the flash version is as good as the real thing.

[Unit047]

I have to disagree, even though I've played the flash version and not the real one.

[battleship92]

both kinda the same =\

[crossmr]

episodic doesn't mean the same frequency as expansion packs..

[Knowwon249]

As much as people give this a "Thumbs Down" its true. They should work on more then just Half Life 2.

[fraglemacmagle]

HA...a thumbs up

i agree but i do like half life alot

[bighit006]

i wish they'd move onto half life 3

[hl2tdm]

the thing is that half life 2: ep1 and ep2 is hl3, why?

Valve: we were doing half life 1 for like 2 years then half life 2 for 4/5 years, so when we thought of half life 3, we understood that the game could take about 9/10 years to make it, so we made it all in episodes as to give our fans to see what happens

[hl2tdm]

and also it would be easier for us, as in each episode we add new graphics, props and all does interestinf stuff

[curse154]

October 9 for America and steam,

October 12 for Europe.

What about the rest of the world?

[Jarvfrankenstein]

They do not exist.

[NarutoWins]

Reply tp Curse154:

i dont like that halo 3 and stuff will come out in america 1st........it sucks bigtime

[yellowoboe]

Halo 3 came out for America a while ago.

And the orange box came out a 3 days ago seeing as it's the 13th.

[Knowwon249]

AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!suc

[GenStonedMad]

Japan get's it a day after europe.

[Cdestroyer127]

You can get it through Steam, just deal with it.

[Serio17]

Yeah. Im from Europe and i just finished(not the story) playing some Portal.

[rocketman5623]

when is it coming out!!!!

[Modman90210]

oCTOBER 6

[nosoz]

October 9th for America & Steam.

October 12th for Europe.

[Modman90210]

Oh thnx

[oscar1123581321]

will they improve Half Life 2 and Episdode 1 in the xbox 360 and ps3 versions ...like give it better graphics and such ?

[chillincool]

Why would they give the xbox360 and ps3 versions better graphics? That doesn't make any sense considering they where both out of date compared to computers the moment they came out.

[anglepegasi]

lol yea

[anglepegasi]

no duuuh! and half life 2 is still superior for pc, muahaha

[gat6000]

what's q1?

[chillincool]

Q stands for quarter. So the year is broken up into 4 quarters, q1 being January-March, q2 being May-June, and so on.

[gat6000]

oh ok, thanks.

[HomunculiLord]

woah woah woah hold on a sec,did that bastard say ep 2 is due on q1 of next year?!?! BS

they said g4 which means end of this year

I will NOT wait that long damn it!!!!!

[Dragy2005]

Look at the title of this video.

[HomunculiLord]

heheh....heh....

[masterchief3k]

g4? you mean g4tv

[HomunculiLord]

.........q4

Ok if this is from 06 then why did he say ep 2 was gonna be due in q1...that would mean it would already hace come out...

[SaNoBreW]

I don't think TF2 will be a good game. Only reason i'm buying is to figure out the next problem with Gordan and to play portal.

[StarNut57]

i think Garry's mod should come with the Black Box

[BobetoSlim]

im really only gunna buy this game for Team Fortress 2 and Portal, those are just the ones im excited for, im not really that excited for hl2

[SpecialOperations]

dont be that excited for TF2 this is a piece of shit...

coucil of 1 minute ago friend lol

[mutt124]

wow. TF2 is a piece of shit? I dont think so.

[jakerodely]

Oooo I want Portal so bad. It looks super sexy!

[TylerTunnicliffe]

Hold me.

[potskalare]

portal looks awesome!

[SpecialOperations]

and it is my friend gonna watch portals trailer and check the physics...are impressive

[spartan023will]

ps3! thats all u had to say buddy.

[Bibbly53]

This man means to say;

"As a multi-million dollar company I've been paid well for my time with you today. I'll have you know success is terrific. Thank you for slavery."

[pizzerboy]

well gay

[mattbru2]

i just now that before the portal game comes out that some body will mimick its code and make it a mode 4 half life two I@$@%^ want portals so bad

[MonkeyHood]

already done. Portal mod for GMod.

[XcaliburZeRo]

rofl, comparing portal mod to this...

[Jobizzie]

The people behind the half life two mod portal (the official one) already made a test version thing years ago called narbacular drop. It was an ORIGINAL idea and they were just testing what they could do WAY before gmod came out.

[genpfault]

Q1 my ass

[ultraviper]

omg someone tell this guy that it's ET cetera, not EK cetera!

[P0rnP0rnstar]

nice intervieuw!

[scattershot100]

true true true pwning noobz in the morning

[Gameearth]

Where do you get the thing that has a portal gun I like it

[F0ilman]

They said its in the pack so u have to buy the HL ep 2, which comes with TF2

[playertripper]

I also heard that you can get it after the ravenholm part of hl1. it's right under the train car where the sniper shoots at you! I totally made a portal under him and he fell on me! silly sniper.

[martinbennett2003]

nice what so you can use the portal gun on half life 2 half life episode 1 and ectra?

[playertripper]

Err, you serious?

[nouseraccount]

That's bull

[paulbottomley42]

You couldn't tell by the way that Ravenholm is in a totally different country to HL1? I believe there is a Portal mod for HL2DM already - but I don't know how good or how mad it is, nor if its made its way onto Single Player :)

[mislum]

Why don't you test it if your not sure if its good or not. Link here [dot]exitemod[dot]com

[BrickInTheHead]

I gotta buy team fortress... Ill wait till ep 2 is released though

[halflife2player]

damn nice
