Half-Life 2 - Escape from City 17 (fan movie)

TheVoice · 13 Feb 2009 at 15:02

This is probably one of the most amazing things I've ever watched, makes me want to start playing through the HL2 games all over again. Which is handly really, because I just recently downloaded the Fakefactory Cinematic Mod.

The attention to detail in this video is fantastic. Just a shame that Youtube's HD playback sucks; it's far too jerky so I had to watch in Normal mode.

EDIT: For anyone getting jerky/slow playback when watching in HD, try this advice from Firegod:

FYI for those that have stuttering or jerky HD playback, do what I did. Right-click the video > Settings and let it use 10Mb -> Unlimited space. Let it buffer the whole video, then play it back. It's now all smooth for me!

Will watch when i get home and get some sound.

It'd be awesome if they did a real life HL movie mind.

EDIT:

Couldnt resist a quick look, that looks freekin amazing !

Looks like it, so far.

Very good video!

Pretty much spot on how I'd imagine RL HL2

Sent a link to Valve, lol

Should be interesting to see how they respond (if they do)

Dave85 · 13 Feb 2009 at 15:43

that was amazing and the cgi was brilliant for no budget

Gerard · 13 Feb 2009 at 15:52

Amazingly well done, and goes to show that HL2 as a movie if done right could be amazing.

HeX · 13 Feb 2009 at 15:54

Very well done, seriously impressed, didn't realise it was going to be live action.

Superb.

Was perfectly smooth for me. :confused:

RaMDOM · 13 Feb 2009 at 15:56

how awesome was that? wish I knew how to do stuff like that

Chaos · 13 Feb 2009 at 16:05

That looked cool, would make a great series.

that's some good movie making skill . :eek:

Lyon85 · 13 Feb 2009 at 16:28

Superb, completely took me by surprise, will be keeping an eye on these guys.

When I get a Half-Life craving I usually load up HL2 or Ep2, I think some Ep1 lovin is in order.
