Have you played HL2: Episode 2? I'm not sure that would be inconsistent with the logic of the HL2 universe. It would have to be done subtly and carefully, but that's not beyond the G-Man's ken.

That said, they won't do it. Besides the problem of converting any video game to Hollywood, Valve has made it explicit that any (male) player is supposed to be able to project himself on Gordon with minimal difficulties. Valve has explicitly said that this is why you can't see your feet and why there are no mirrors in City 17. For similar reasons, you only see the heroine of Portal briefly and in profile.

So *dark, it's made by guys from Toronto, *Canada. Valve is so impressed it's one of the updates when you launch Steam this weekend.

great little film, look forward to seeing the rest. looks very nice
there is a reason HL hasn't been made into a film. Valve, like the rest of know that there are NO good films based on games, not one. Therefore it's entirely likely that a HL film will suck donkey balls, it shouldn't, HL is brilliantly told story, but a film.. well the odds are definately against it being good!


That's why they should get THESE guys to make it!

But seriously, looks like their hosting service shut them off for the mega-traffic spike they must be enjoying. Silly hosting company should've cut a deal for advertising on their hosting service in exchange for a cap amnesty. <shrug>

Didn't you see Max Payne?


Nope, not yet.

I understand, though. Valve really has something great going for them, so maybe a video like this would work best.

AWESOME. It's about damn time. I don't know how HL hasn't had a movie yet but Gears of War is already lined up for one.

I'd think Valve don't want to f*ck up/sell out the franchise. Didn't you see Max Payne?

You didn't actually have anything to do with the making of the film, did you?

my girlfriend actually knows these guys, and knowing that I play half life she'd been telling me about this project for a while. So as soon as they put it up she made sure to send me a link and i made sure to share the wealth
