HL2 details

Clanovi HL2.net foruma su poceli da primaju newsletter u kojima se pominju neke intersenatne stvari. Pa da vidimo:

• Lost Coast and DODS ‘should be avaliable as you read this’; it is currently less than 2 weeks to the issue’s official release.
• The director commentary in Lost Coast takes the form of in-game cues
  that you can walk up to an use to hear what the devs have to say.
• Thirdly and finally for Lost Coast, it does in fact tie in with the
  story, explaining how Ravenholm became overrun with headcrabs.
• Aftermath includes new AI for the Rebels and ‘collaborative action’.
• The Hydra, cut from the game since its demo at E3 2003, may well return in future titles.
• Valve don’t intend to deliberately shy away from new IPs – but only expect them in the form of episodes.
• EA want to take a ‘similar approach’ to Steam in the near future. Uh oh.
• Biggie no. 1: Valve want a new HL2 episode every 3 months and a seasonal box set of them for 56kers and philistines.
• Biggie no. 2: Steam has been completely rearchitectured, and we are all
  ‘running two versions of it’: Steam 2.0 and 3.0 alongside each other.
  Presumably only parts, of course.
• Biggie no. 3: The second episode, following Aftermath, focuses on
  vehicles. Aftermath focuses on character interaction, and Alyx is
  always with the player during it.
