Recent Reviews:. Sniffing at it at first, it gave it a tentative shove, sending the APC rocking sideways onto two wheels. A blue flare arched from the vehicle into the sky, as the marines desperately called for reinforcement. Seconds later, the APC was sliding down a ravine, toppled by a ferocious attack by the Antlion Guard. While it was still occupied, Gordon unloaded a clip into the beast, and as it slumped to the ground, exhaling its last and sending a cloud of dust spiralling into the air, a drop ship full of reinforcements arrived.
Nothing you just saw was scripted. Is it going to smash through a door, open it, cut a hole in it? This makes them seem scarier and more consequential than your average Al. The way we see it is that if a creature is no more than a weapon's delivery system, then that creates a really narrow choice of interaction possibilities. If humans can climb ladders and open doors, you have to let them be able to do it.
There are other creatures that can do things you can't do, like the Antlions who can jump to places that you can't. This will also influence how a creature can get to you and will let it vary its attack strategies.
We also wanted to create an immersive experience. So you want everyone around you to react realistically to you, as well as feeling that you're immersed in a very strong narrative.
One of the things we had in Half-Life were scripted sequences on the other side of locked doors so you couldn't interfere with them. But now we feel that if you close off choices to the player you're making a mistake. We had many challenges in getting the Al to talk to the level design.
How we could hint to the Al that there may be something interesting in the level for them to interact with. So if a radio says something interesting and a character hears it, they may walk over to it, to hear it better. If you then shot the radio, the Al would ask itself what a reasonable reaction would be and act on that decision. Another pre-recorded scene showed a firefight in City In an attempt to avoid a confrontation, Gordon ran through a nearby door, closed it and crouched down. Then, a mechanical buzz infected the air.
Gordon looked up to see that a camera had been thrust through the letterbox and was scanning for him. A couple of seconds later, it disappeared.
The door buckled, then shattered as the biomech burst through. Hostilities resumed. The next level saw Gordon fighting six Antlions, which jumped on ledges to get to him as he desperately tried to get away. Then, to show off the particle effects, I was shown a level on a burning cargo ship, the flames licking at the scenery and spreading like a disease as it consumed the vessel. But before what Gabe and Doug referred to as the 'Finale' I was given one more chance to take the controls and pit myself against easily the most unpredictable and lifelike Al of any FPS to date.
Leading a prison break-out, I had to get past two guards, who were taking cover behind a set of barrels. There was only one thing for it. Crouching down I rolled a grenade into their position, and watched in awe as their bodies hurtled through the air and over the barrels, coming to a rest, lifeless and crumpled, on the other side. And so to the 'Finale From a distance, something caught the eye. The sound of machine parts and heavy footsteps replaced the tranquil calm, as a 90ft, three-legged Strider appeared, pausing in front of the now dwarfed archway.
It tried to shift it with a round of machine gun fire, but realising that force wouldn't work, it ducked under instead.
Wheeling round, Gordon spotted Alyx, who was gestunng for him to follow her into a sewer. Once inside, the two characters stood breathlessly staring at each other. Alyx was smiling. Then, slowly, her eyes moved from Gordon to look at something behind him and her smile morphed into a look of genuine horror. Gordon swivelled, just in time to see a giant blue tentacle reaching for a policeman who had clearly followed them into the sewer, but unaware of what was behind him. The tentacle wrapped around his body, snatching him into the murky depths below.
As the demo faded the room fell silent, and I was convinced that I had just witnessed one of the most cinematic, atmospheric and realistic moments in gaming history. A fitting Finale' indeed, I thought, blinking violently as Doug switched the lights on, signalling the end of an incredible day. Words failed me. My body felt exhausted as I relaxed my taught muscles, drained from the tension of watching a game which is re-writing the rule book and making a mockery out of every other first-person shooter I've ever seen.
If you don't believe me, buy a ticket to E3, and find out for yourself. One thing's for sure though, come September, the world of gaming will change forever, and just like four years ago, it's Valve that is showing us the way. With 40 hours of gameplay promised, it's going to be one hell of a ride. All of a sudden, September seems like a very, very long way away It's hard to believe that it's been a year since Half-Life 2 was announced, but finally, after months of silence from developer Valve after part of the game was stolen by opportunist hackers late last year, we've been invited back to Seattle to play the latest version of the game.
You may well have got sick of waiting for HL2 to appear - perhaps the release of Far Cry has satiated your lust for a ground-breaking shooter. But as you're about to find out, there's just as much reason to be excited now as there was 12 months ago.
Before we start though, if you haven't been following the Half-Life 2 saga, you might like to refresh your memory about what we already know about the game. After all. But if you can't wait to jump straight in, why not join me now at Valve's offices, along with the company's managing director Gabe Newell and director of marketing Doug Lombardi as we glean the latest info and playtest the game firsthand.
Me too. We're going to let you play through three levels, begins Doug. This first one's about 15 minutes into the game, and will give you some classic Half-Life gameplay, where we'll try and scare you and give you a good look at City We're in. I'm standing in a large hallway. On the far side of the enclosure hangs an enormous screen, from which gazes a kindly yet slightly sinister male face. I pause, hoping to garner some vital information before I rush out of the inviting doorway to my left and into the bustling courtyard beyond.
This man seems to be providing some kind of information service. I listen intently. He's reading from a letter in which the author is outlining his concerns about a lack of human freedom. Don't worry," begins his reply. You're being treated like this for your own good. You're not ready to make your own decisions yet. But soon you will be free to do as you please.
Confused, I scan the room and spy gas mask-wearing guards blocking every doorway bar one. Do not be afraid. Before I'm even a metre away, his gun is out of its holster and pointing at my head.
Move away! Gabe interjects. As a character, the last thing you remember is having a conversation with the G-Man. Now it's ten years later and all sorts of things have happened.
But you don't know what happened to that time or even what side you're on. As you're about to find out, everyone seems to know more about you than you do.
The sunlight makes me blink violently as my eyes focus on the new vista before me. All around, people walk with bowed heads, dressed in matching white clothes as circular drones buzz around the square, and more gas mask-clad guards stand around menacingly, ever watchful. Haven't I seen you somewhere before? Gabe was right: how do these people know who I am? A commotion at the far side of the courtyard from behind a partially closed door distracts my attention. I can't quite see in properly, but it looks as though some of the town's denizens are being brutalised by guards.
The sentry shoos me away with a wave of his stun-baton and I reluctantly move on. In the distance, a 90ft Strider a giant three-legged war machine stalks by. I turn to a woman standing next to me and attempt to engage her in conversation.
Quiet, they may hear us. But my attention is snapped away by an electric drone that appears as if from nowhere and begins photographing me. Something tells me this isn't the local paparazzi. Finally, I round a comer and enter a playground, where I push the realistic swings and rock the lifelike see-saws.
I was the last guy to play in that playground," comes the sad lamentation of a young man nearby. He's right, no children play here. The stark reality of this early level is clear. There's no joy in this city, just a sense of terror and oppression. At the start of the game, you're trying to reconnect with your friends, begins Gabe, as the level ends.
You find out that some of them are still alive. You don't know why you're there or what agenda the G-Man has for you, but later on you learn a lot more about the G-Man and who he really is. You'll have a relationship with him that follows logically from the conversation that you had at the end of Half-Life.
Yet no quality story is complete without the protagonist growing in some way too, becoming a better or different person by the plot's climax. Will we see Gordon take this journey? Gordon must become what a heroic scientist should be. But in order to be heroic, there are certain things that he's going to need to do.
So yes, there will be a transformation that he's going to go through. Will the antagonist be the G-Man? Perhaps someone we haven't even seen yet? As we already know, the female inventor Alyx is another major player in Half-Life 2, so I ask Gabe to elaborate on her background a little more.
Her father is one of the few people who's survived from Black Mesa, and Alyx represents the hybrid between the old and the new. She helps you understand about the changes in the world, which have also affected her and what it means to live in this world. She's got lots of connections to the past, but she's much more aggressive and revolutionary than her parents were. She's going to help you go from being a loner to a champion.
She'll also help you understand who all the new characters are. Time to experience more of the game. This time, it's a night-time level, a mad dash through an alien-infested graveyard with a gung-ho orthodox monk called Father Grigory. It's a somewhat simplistic level to say the least, and feels more like a training mission than one of the stunning set pieces we've witnessed in previous demonstrations.
Wave after wave of zombies shamble towards us, as the mad monk and I hurtle through the level. Conveniently placed saw blades allow me to make full use of the all-new Manipulator weapon - with which you can pick up and propel almost any object in the game. The blades fly through the air and scythe off the zombies' hideous noggins, as we stumble across some even more conveniently placed exploding barrels.
I fire at them and a bone-bending shockwave rocks me back as I watch dismembered enemies fly across the cemetery like rag dolls in a hurricane, their still twitching bodies engulfed in flames. Other zombies walk over their fallen comrades and ignite as they pass, flailing wildly from pain and kindling more of their companions. I wheel around suddenly and come face to Head Crab with four zombies. Instinctively I reel back, pumping the shotgun trigger but firing ineffectually over their heads.
Seeing my predicament, Grigory dives in front of me and dishes out some punishment, saving me from almost certain death. In some levels, we've put obvious things like those saw blades in on purpose, so that people can easily work out and learn what they can do with the Manipulator, reassures Doug. Which leads us nicely onto the game's physics system, which is promising to furbish you with a wealth of new gameplay possibilities never before seen in a shooter, and ensure that Half-Life 2 will be anything but short-lived.
In fact, Gabe and Doug believe that HL2 could well prove to be twice the length of its predecessor thanks to the depth offered by the Source engine's revolutionary new abilities. We've seen so many different types of playing styles.
Some people want to explore and try everything, especially with the new physics system, while others just want to charge through the game as fast as possible.
We've actually found that. Gabe picks up the thread. You can learn from the Al though, so you may see them doing something you didn't know you could do and then use that later on to your advantage. Now if you see a dumpster, you can pick it up and throw it at the enemy if you want to.
But will we see the same kind of individuality and autonomy as we did from the bots in Valve's other recent project, Condition Zero, who, depending on their psychological makeup, would follow your orders to varying degrees? Sure, chimes Gabe. They'll argue with you too. So if you tell someone to go and defend a certain area, they can turn around to you and say that they don't want to, as there could be a lot of risk associated with that action.
