Strange photo

[Excesos]

I found a strange picture in the web, with better graphics than the normal Half Life 2; it would be great if somebody knows what part of the city is...

Well. hmm.. the Citidel is obvious show.. but it looks like concept art... maybe?

 

[Sufferin-rebel]

I'm 100% sure it is concept art.

 

[Calhoun]

This is just concept art.

 

[xombine]

Rofl yeah it's just concept.

 

[Sufferin-rebel]

but think, Graphics will look as good as the concept art soon enuff

 

[The Brick]

That bit is from the Strider segment of the E3 2003 demo.

 

[ríomhaire]

That's one of the most known pieces of concept art. At one point Valve where selling linographs of it

 

[Shippi]

[CyberPitz]

Concept art..that is also in Raising The Bar..which I suggest EVERYBODY has at LEAST one copy.

It's like the new bible.

 

[Drackard]

I'd get it .. but i've never read the bible .. so ..

 

[Hullu]

I keep mine in a plastic vacuum bag.

What would I do with multiple copies of the same book? It's not like I could read them both at the same time.

EDIT: BTW were those cables that extend from Citadel to the city in game at all?

 

[Sufferin-rebel]

Yes they were, They connected alot of things for power, and communications.

One to read, one to keep vacume packed in the safe.

Yes, but not as many I think.

 

[Jintor]

Didn't see them as much.

What's the point of that in general? I mean, people buy comics, books, toys etc. for entertainment purposes. Keeping it wrapped is just nullifying its true value which comes from the amount of joy one gets from reading it which is what those nutcase collectors don't understand. For them it's more important to have the item than to instead enjoy the benefits of having it.

I could quote Don Rosa here but I won't. It's just not worth the debate.

 

[Jintor]

Duh, to sell to collectors later.

 

[d00d]

Duh, to sell to collectors later.

Jes. After all it could potentially worth millions (maybe) someday.

 

[Crimo]

heh.. its just cliche and new kitch man, let them collect them in peace, focus on the topic

 

[Para]

It won't be real value. It hasn't entertained anyone, taught anyone any moral lecture or even pleased the eye with vivid colors and nicely done drawing.

In other words, it's worthless and some jackasses are ready to pay millions to prove others that they are idiots.

 

[Danimal]

Oh god that picture takes me back to when I thought you could beat down doors and Traptown was a possibility.

*Sigh*

Hahahahaha but those could appear you know

Value is in the mind of the buyer, not the truth.

What are videogames but 1s and 0s?

Indeed, if someone in years to come wanted it that bad then they'd go to any lengths to get it.It's a matter of opinion not fact.

Entertainment. I hope to [insert supreme being here] that you don't get entertained by plastic wrapped boxes.

 

[Jintor]

Hey, that's your view. To some peasant living in Russia who's never seen a computer, it's a shiney bit of metal/plastic that can be flung through the air to decapitate bears.

 

[Drackard]

Entertainment. I hope to [insert supreme being here] that you don't get entertained by plastic wrapped boxes.

Maybe you should just give up ...

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

someone has been hiding under a rock...

it's one of the first released concept-art pieces for HL2.

 

[kacation_man]

HA... i like rocks..
