Would you prefer sparks in HL2 or not?

[chriso20]

As a recent topic debates sparks, their cause, and jellybabies (oh alright that was me ) i thought i'd start a poll to see what people prefer.

Basically sparks are added in films for dramatic effect.
They do not occur often in real life.

 

[Letters]

YES! Sparks are pretty and I like to look at them! Because they're pretty! OOOOH!

 

[Dead-Inside]

... You have *NO WAY* of telling until you've played the game. I doubt you'll be going "Oh those damn sparks".

 

[PunisherUSA]

I hope it's within reason.
Bullets on metal == no sparks
Wood on metal == no sparks *ahem*
metal(non-brass) on metal == sparks
combine skull on wood == sparks.... wait.... nevermind that last one.

 

[Gordon'sFreeman]

haha nice poll would have never thought of it.
keep sparks - they is goods

 

[KagePrototype]

Um, why would people be against sparks exactly?

 

[nofx]

Sparks are only good in certain situations IMO. So... Im going to leave this poll unmarked.

 

[wonkers]

Less sparks more snarks.

 

[chriso20]

if you read this thread: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=29783

Everyone was moaning about sparks not being there etc.. then everyone said that sparks are VERY unlikely.

and so i made this poll, realism or dramaticism?

 

[iamaelephant]

I really, really don't care. It won't affect the game at all.

 

[poseyjmac]

sparkes ehh. not a big deal to me. id rather have alyx spank me

 

[Dougy]

There wont be sparks.

this is Half life.

you are gordon freeman 24/7 , not gordon when hes fighting and some mystical ghost watching him when hes talking to people.

 

[FictiousWill]

Sparks all the way. When there are 20 saw blades flying in all different directions while I hop from dumpster to dumpster, there will be sparks up the wazoo. Definately sparks.

 

[The Mullinator]

Keep them within reasonable physical limitations but make up for it by putting Gordon in situations where in real life there would be an insane amount of sparks flying everywhere. That way its realistic and you keep all the pro sparkers happy.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

i gotta have my sparks!

 

[hunteraz]

I likes the sparks!

/me wonders then if we should just let the forums die as we try to find something to talk about that is completely different and exciting.

Also why are you bringing release date stuff into this thread? Its completly off-topic.

the only sparks i see, are from the manipulator blast, and the manhacks, in the older videos there seemed to be sparks on absaloutly every physics object, but that seems to be sorted now.

 

[<RJMC>]

the sparks will be cool in a REALISTIC way
for example that the manhacks hits something metallic it will made sparks

not unrealistic stuff like shoot a litle cable and BOOOM a rain of sparks
or hit a antlion in the face and BOOOM sparks
wlak to talk whit alyx BOOOM sparks
