Laughing-Man Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 This will so suck if that crowbar is supposed to mean something else other then Half-Life 2. Watch it be a Fox reality show that involves a crowbar. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 :laugh: thats def for half life 2. i mean what other game or what other ANYTHING would you associate a crowbar w/ other then bashing out the skull of an alien in HL? And i HIGHLY doubt that the game will be released this year. Their has been no teasers, no PR, not anything for it until now. And if they want to make the money they made on HL then their going to build this up properly, like they are for Doom III. If any game deserves the hype other then Doom III its gotta be HL. thats just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who needs PR with a game like Half-Life. They could release it tomorrow and like a million copies would get sold by people without seeing screenshots, movies, etc. first :D. Like when they annouced they were making Doom 3, at that point I knew I was getting the game reguardless of what it looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrope Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Yes, I think they will reveal it at E3 and it will be out pretty soon. All we can do is hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atom Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 ,Apr 15 2003, 18:35] the first HL was barely hyped and was released the same year when the first screen****s were showed yes but they werent expecting HL to define what future FPSers were going to be all about. That was also what 5 years ago? Marketers have learned the longer they hold a title and the great hype it receives the more copies they sell. They have set such a high standard and sold so many copies i believe they are going to go about this the right way. This is about $ and to get the most $ you need to market your product. There's no way they can release a game the caliber of HL w/o at LEAST a year of hyping and teasers. It doesnt happen in this day anymore. I dont see why they would be hiding this info from us. it doesnt make sense from a marketing standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briangw Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 If anyone would have a good word on it, it would be Rich Laporte and the Gone Gold crew at www.gonegold.com. I doubt HL2 will be out anytime soon. We still don't have TF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling it was going to redefine the FPS genre and I was right. I remember teling my gaming customers to keep an eye out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowstick Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 In case of Halflife, a surprise announcement with a batch of uberscreenshots (at least I expect that) would generate enough hype whereas other game titles would need to push the marketting machine.

Ayepecks Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 yeh QuakeIII is such a terrible game...such crap netcode and the engine was so behind the times when it came out.... :rolleyes: lmfao, any true gamer knows how much of a disappointment Quake III was.

Ayepecks Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I don't think I really need to bother with Team Arena (unless you're a QIII fanboy), but here's a review from a respected source on Quake III: http://www.pcgamer.com/reviews/archives/re...00-08-11ai.html As I said, it wouldn't be a good note to end on for iD. I never said it was bad, as you obviously inferred wrong. I was implying it was a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing-Man Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 As long as they show what the hell happened to Gordan Freeman or Corpral Shepard who cares about the Quake 3 engine. And we still do not know who the the man in the suit is yet. I hope they clarify what happens. Do you guys even think Gordan Freeman will be the main character in this game?
