Valve Software is experimenting with a model that could substantially transform the video game business.

Real game play - or Segue Video?!

My biggest frustration with game companies is their use of the video segments they insert between real game play, as their main Marketing video! Are these shots from the game, or from the video clips?! Gaming companies: Stop The Insanity. We'll buy more stuff from you if you respect us enough to be honest. I promise.

These are real gameplay screenshots

All the screenshots pictured here in this article "Invasion of Half-Life," are screenshots taken during normal gameplay, not from any cinematic video that the game may have.

In fact, of the few cinematic sequences in the game, all of them are done using the games regular graphics engine and are not prerendered in any way.

Dang!

Dang it. I'm going to have to go out and buy a new PC now. :-P :-\

Can someone make the 16th come faster?

cannot wait for 16th

To my friends and family, i regret to inform you that I may not be responsive to phone, instant messager, email, or even the front door, as I will probably be playing HL2 for a few days... straight.

Yes, saving man-kind from alien beasties requires dedication. Dedication, good aim and some lucky Quicksaves. World, have no fear, you are in good hands, thanks to my sweet overclocked Athlon 64 3400.
