[quote name="Colonel K"]Holy fuck. Are those facial animations going to be <b>in</b> the fucking game? [quote name="Jhoh Creexul"]Half-Life 2 will be probably the best game this year, and definitely one of the most important games in game history for the next several years. Remember what didn't even exist until Half-Life? Skeletal system, lip synch algorytjerfmefm. 16 bit color, huge mod support. Gigantic gameplay, relentless scripted sequences. Half-Life 2 is gonna do it again (just like the south). AND THEN SOME. I'm sure they dissected the Team Fortress 2 shit for their current Half-Life stuff. The voice communication and VGUI game shit. Half-Life 2 OMG OMG OMG. Every game for the next ten years is probably going to be doing what HL2 is going to start. We're going to be puking up our own jizz in anticipation for this game.[/quote] And they're talking about interactive scripting, which sounds pretty neat. The only thing that bothers me is the socket wrench cover girl - Half Life was about a man, and his crowbar and NOTHING ELSE - but if anybody can make the buddy system work in an FPS, I'm guessing it's Valve. Headcrabs are coming back, despite the vague memory that I bludgeoned their queen to death in Half Life. I'll have to check; the instant this news broke I started replaying the SP campaign. It's still fucking incredible. [/quote]
