GameSpy Interviews Doug Lombardi

[d00d]

I don't. Half-Life isn't outdated at all IMO. The only thing I have a porblem with is soldiers ocationaly grenading themselves.

1998>2006 ?? Right on.

Quake 1 engine= Outdated technology.


I agree with with Shift & Samon, there was a story in Hl1 but it was lacking abit story wise. I feel if Valve feels that they want to Completly redo Hl1 with added elements to the story, Scripted sequences, advanced A.I, More character interaction, cool animations (like facial animations, vortigaunt attack animations, & eye blinking..kudos to the Source engine), More advances Physics like Cinematic physic's & such, maybe some references about the Portal storms(like Shift said) & the 7 hours war.

Oh yeah before I forget...References to Dr. Breen as in not just calling him the administrator of BM, He has a name.


To set the record strait, I probably won't play BM:S no more than twice.

Adding story elements to HL1 sucks! That kills all the fun! Fun: guessing what happened between HL1 and HL2. That would be like Stephen King rewriting the first Dark Tower book after 25 years to adjust the story! You should make sequels' story fit into first game, not the other way around!

 

[Asknoone]

If anything, I want to see Half-life to be remade on the Nintendo Wii. I know Gabe wants to :cheese:

I think if Valve do a Half-life game for Wii, it'd need to be Wii specific to take full advantage of the system.

 

[ríomhaire]

Quake 1 engine= Outdated technology.

He said it was too outdated for him, which I took to mean it was too outdated for him to play it. I completly disagree, I still enjoy some SNES games and I feel HL is nowhere near too outdated to play.

If anybody will remake Hl1 it should'nt just be a pretty picture, it needs more.

If its just a pretty picture, it will be the same game as it was in the past, If i want to play Hl1 with unchanged story I will play Hl1, Why should I wait to next year to play it again...... Stupid. After awhile people will forget about BM:S cause its just a h-res mod like FF thats all, nothing more.

Hl1 is very weak on the story elements & needs things added, like things said in Hl2, Hl1 It needs to be interlocked with Hl2.


Sorry but Pretty graphics don't make a great game :dozey:.


If you Don't play the Half-Life series for its great story & characters... & you just want to shoot things through out the game then why are you here, this is'nt Quake or Doom. FPS have evolved since then, & I would like Half-Life 1 to get with the times. Its not always about shooting, there are other things like Character interaction, story telling, & other cool things becides shooting all the time.


BM:S Is'nt taking risks, & changing the Hl1 story around is a big gamble, but dev's have to take risks alot in order for that game to be great.


I want to see Alyx in Hl1, she deserves to be seen, as she will play an even biger role in future Hl games...in the future.

 

[Shift]

I agree, I would be crap just remake HL1 merely with better graphics, updated engine and better AI. The story was very weak in HL1 compared to HL2 but back in those days, great storytelling and character interaction were hardly seen in FPS games. They should make references to things mentioned in HL2 a lot more, like it would be good to hear something about Mossman and it would be good to see little Alyx and Azian, or at least a reference to them from Eli. I would also like them to tweak the well recognisable areas and give it a new challenge, basically so we can play through the entire game and not feel like that we have played through HL1 again with merely better graphics.

What, do you think people who just want to shoot and don't care about the story are somehow below you? And don't say if they just want to shoot stuff they should play Quake, that's restarded logic, HL2 is much more fun than Quake 4 & Doom 3 put together.

I thought gaming has evolved, its not always about "GUN GUN GUN"


Half-Life is'nt a military shooter, there's other things than just shooting all the time.

Gaming has changed since then, this is the 21st Century, not the 1990's.

But some people couldn't give a shit about the g-man or the Combine and nothing is wrong with that. You seem to think there is.

 

[Shift]

There is nothing wrong with it, but usually the people who play Half-Life 2 and dont give a shit about the storyline are the people who dont actually understand the storyline

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

But some people couldn't give a shit about the g-man or the Combine and nothing is wrong with that

But mostly every one 99% of the people here want to know what G-man is, if Dr. Breen is still alive, Who does G-man work for & who are his employers.

If you don't know most of us here give a shit about the characters, We want to know if Alyx dies or not, & who else will die in these Episode's. If Dr. Breen got his host body & will Alyx say whats on her mind? & who is the survivor from BM that Valve talks about that will appear in Ep2, & Oh yeah I do give a shit about Valve some day answering those questions.

 

[d00d]

To ignore the G-man and combine storywise is killing the whole point of cliffhangers in Half-Life. And clearly if the story did not catch there wouldn't be countless threads on the internet debating over what the combine's objectives are or who the G-man is. Storywise it would be a big pile of dog s***.

If HL1 is weak on the story elements and needs to be interlocked with HL2 (which I agree) it should be done in future games. It's uber-stupid to change the original story.

I wonder where the hell you got the idea that I don't play Half-Life games for its great story and characters. It's exactly the opposite, I don't want the original story to be altered because I respect the story.

And seeing Alyx in Hl1 is the worst thing that could happen to Half Life storyline. That would turn half life into a soap opera. You don't see everyone's childhood who will play a bigger role in the future in real life! With that logic Valve will have to remake HL2 to include characters we'll meet in HL3. Than remake HL3 to introduce characters who plays a bigger role in HL4.

 

[Shift]

I agree, but we dont even know about Azian and Alyx until Half-Life 2, so when Eli says 'You remember my wife Azian, her and Alyx were all that I managed to get out of Black Mesa' or something like that. I mean, yeah ok, before we step into Gordon's shoes, he most likely would have heard of them, but from our perspective, we dont hear about them in HL1, so it doesn't make sense when Eli says that we have in HL2. So therefore, they should at least have Eli make a reference to them, or show Gordon a picture of them and where abouts they are or whatever. It would make sense to the player in HL2.

Wasn't it the Quake 2 engine used in HL1?

.

Super mega ultra uber CORRECT. If they will ever remake hl1 the should really only change the graphics. Maybe they could add some extra non-canon bonus level, but please don't touch the plot or the original levels.
