It's not a bug, if it's a feature..?
sharing is caring
@@aserta it seems like they deliberately allow some bugs for the speedrun community so things like glitches and eploits doesn't technically count as those since the devs left them in the game intentionallu
Im not watching the full speedrun, just pieces. But that quote is amazing, if one has seen "empire of the sun". The part were the camp is under attack, Jamie talk about how its their runway? Because the bones of the dead are in it? Its not the best movie(by far), but for some reason it has a place in my heart haha
My favorite part...

It was kinda sad and funny when one of the devs said "I wonder how he is gonna deal with the poison zombie, I worked on the poison zombie

tbh he kinda deserved that for making the poison zombie
If that dev made poison headcrab, he probably deserves that too.
@@madgamer5796 The poison zombie was my most dreaded enemy in Half Life 2, the bastards would also occupy homes in the Highway level, they'd randomly appear and attack you in areas with loot stashes, more of a nuisance than a challenge.
Speedrunners* "wait there's zombies in this game?"
@@TimSlee1 this does sound like a skill issue
It's still unreal seeing Valve and their devs actually talk to us after being quiet for 10+ years.
Finally to ask when hl3 will be released
@ooczzy I feel like VR made them interested in the market again, as you can see very much involvement in VR from Valve. It probably has brought back the excitement in developing from Valve itself.
@ooczzy They hired Kaci Aitchison, who is a Dota 2 host, to do fulltime for Valve, she pretty much revamped the communication part
they are promoting Alyx VR game, IGN contacted valve and asked if they would like to sit and comment on a pre recorded speedrun VOD. And valve said yes because they need publicity for ALYX
ooczzy Apparently one of the community managers who worked on the DOTA 2 tourneys but not at Valve was hired by them. That’s likely why they’re being much more communicative, some restructuring happened a little bit after that hiring.

@@CannedPsycho- One of the videos I do not recall talked about developers looking at player(tester?) data and how they reacted to poison zombies. It was discovered that upon hearing this particular enemy in the area the players immediately dropped whatever they were doing at the time and started looking for it.

That made me laugh. Totally believable. 😂😂😂
@@norbucso well you remember the airboat? when he save deleted to summon the airboat and then exited in some weird way, that triggers a glitch with the multiple hitboxes the player has (it also causes noclip until some certain events) this is the reason why he can use props to blink through walls, but also the reason why he doesnt take bullet damage. So in fact you could say, he is shooting at him from several levels ago. Also he is part boat now, so thats the other thing they "jokingly" said.

@@sparkz6349 flyby
helperbot 2000 clip though
Just for anyone wondering, what he's doing is something called "loadclipping". Basically the game has a bit of code that says that when you load a save and you are inside an object, you oughta be moved a little to another direction so you don't become permanently stuck. However, this lets you clip through entire walls and level loads in certain areas if you purposely trigger it in certain ways.
how do you manage to be this wrong
thabk :)
37:23
"That guy had a bad day."
Yea when you hear an explosion go off down the street and Gordon Freeman comes flying in through your third floor window to blow you away with a shotgun
Hate when that happens
Other game companies: "We spent 2 years making this game"
Valve: "We spent 2 years making this one level"
I know that feeling XD
Look up the stuff they spent years on and then scrapped.
Crowbar collective: We spent 15 years to complete black mesa
Granted, that two years wasn't all of Valve working on the level, it was one guy or a team of guys working on the level
I remember the fanfare about the release date, and it just not happening. Then the source code was ‘leaked’ and they had to spend years ‘reworking’ it...
Freeman knows his physics so well, he's able to quantum tunnel through everything.
That MIT degree really was useful after all
He's taking the theoretical part of physics and making them reality.
Well accdg to wiki, his thesis was titled 'Observation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement'
which asks: "Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality be Considered Complete?"
I see his MIT degree really pays for itself.
@@glitchy000 Too bad he cut the pony-tail. Sellout.
"no one thought the air ship section was too long"
I am so happy that the Valve team really are as super chill as they make themselves out to be in the few interviews they do
That was always my main complaint with that level. It's not awful, just way too long. It was nice hearing the Devs joking about it and seemed to agree with that sentiment.
isnt it airboat
True man!

12:50 If anyone is wondering
so is Next Game confirmed???
You mean it's finally happening?
HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED?
im might be r/woooooshed but what about half life alyx
Darshan Hankinson
ah yes a redditor
the joke is because of what the developer said and HL3 not existing
“I’m thinking the next game we don’t make anything”, and HL3 comes after HL2, but instead we got HL:Alyx
Imagine being a civilian in this game and just seeing Gordon Freeman flying at high speeds and using barrels and boxes as elevators
He is the FREEMAN
That's what happens when you have a PHD in physics
Gordon moving at like 400 MPH.
civilians rather not dream about cheese but to witness gordon literally bounce around like a madman with high speed.
i see that daily in my town
"Where we're going, we don't need crowbars."
And thus, there was no crowbar in Half-Life: Alyx.
Actually they did try it, but VR melee wasn't working in a way that was satisfying/comfortable, and the gunplay was working out much better. Plus, people kept thinking they were Gordon, which is...yeesh.
@@mb2001 heh, you have never seen Boneworks then
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 they probably didnt have the idea of how to code the melee properly during HF:A development. Unlike the devs who worked on the melee coding on Boneworks
Does the post credits scene count?
@@pootismaster420 heh smort
For anyone confused how he didn't die when falling to the streets in Point Insertion:
Skipping the cop in the staircase beforehand skips a trigger that enables the fall damage for Gordon.
This means he's able to do this trick without taking any damage.
OOOOOOH THAT MAKES SENSE
And why was he invulnerable when mossman started the portal?
@@seesikopter he's not, it's just that his hitbox isn't in this part of the level with all the bugs he used.
@@indeed2207 He's basically a projection at that point
He didn't take damage, because he couldn't take damage, makes sense!
I can't believe valve is actually interacting with the community
I'm glad they didn't while creating this masterpiece because people would've ruined it
They're not really interacting with the runner since he's not in the call
@@jongyon7192p Yes but this is better than silence
It was a long time ago.
Since Alyx's announcement the devs have been allowed to interact with the community more. That being said I think this is apart of their attempt to get more focus on HL:Alyx. That being said I'm glad they did it. It's nice to hear devs talk about hl2 in a long format such as this.
Combine: The humans are PATHETIC, they already lost in only 7 hours

@Jardani Jovonovich Metropolice are human, they can take the suit off and still decide their own actions, any higher ranks have been augmented so much they are at best a biped/humanoid (describes body shape, not humanity) with no free will anymore (brainwashed). To put it bluntly, high rank earth combine _are combine_ because of the augmentations, combine do this in all worlds they visit, proven by the fact they have dropships striders etc that are augmented creatures from other worlds.
I mean theres even canon lore about how metropolice can earn the right to get their freak on (this is mentioned by the overwatch system) but higher ranks cant because they (a) no longer have reproductive organs & (b) they dont care anymore, all the higher ranks care about is serving the combine, as they are now part of the combine.
"In future games I think we're just gonna pin people in rooms like that for the entire length of the game"

You're the combine soldier, on high alert due to the chaos of a man moving at speeds unrecorded. Suddenly, two distant explosions are heard in the distance, one closer than the next. A single second apart. The Strider patrolling outside opens fire, the same sound you're used to hearing thousands of times. It stops. And then, something collides with the floor in your building. You grab your weapon and turn around, expecting to see an alien creature. You see a man in an orange suit barge into your room and, without hesitation, unloads a slug into your chest. As your dying, you use your last gasps of air to look at the man who moves too fast to comprehend. He walks into the table, vanishing from sight...

Since the latter technically doesn't exist at that time and therefore has no collision, it allows you to fly through everything with the same speed as the boat.

I love how instinctively all three of the devs scream "NO LAZLO!"
He truly was the greatest mind of our generation.
When did this happen in the video?
Yeah when did this happen
27:00
My memory's bad, who/what was Lazlo?
@@qjajssIIal he was one of the few named rebel npcs in the game, he dies to introduce the ant lions. He was apparently super smart, he was even going to replace Russel in Half life alyx at one point
Imagine being responsible for an alien invasion, completely ruling another planet, then having some nerd flying through the city and tearing it down before you can even comprehend what's happening
Love how they mentioned the concerned half-life comic at 48:50
It's so cool to listen to the devs talk so casually about this game they made a long time ago, like some fond memories from times past
"I worked on the poison zombie"
"did we patch this? I think for episode one yes"
"we could fix lots of these glitches they're using if we wanted, but we didn't"
SO AMAZING
also their reactions, not understanding what happened on something THEY MADE, is priceless
yeah, this idea "devs watch speedrun" is gold, thanks IGN
"not understanding what happened on something THEY MADE"
Yep, that's what being a developer feels like. XD
@@Armaggeddon95 so true:).
p.s. i code sometimes too:)
@@Armaggeddon95 i too, develop a program on large scale and didn't know what is going on when it's working
HL Devs: *Spends years on one section*
waezone: 3 seconds. Take it or leave it.
SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
You just combine 2 different things that's crazy
I was obsessed with this game back then. I felt really connected to the story and characters. What a great game.

The real mvp here is gordon freeman’s glasses. This man is running through walls at incredibly high speeds and they dont budge once. I need me some of those anti physics spectacles
Those glasses have a degree in theoretical physics as well
Seriously, how can I upgrade my glasses to do that

@@nopenope273 nail them to your skull
All Black Mesa glasses will remain safely operation during collisions of up to 4000 m/s. Rest assured that there is no chance of a dangerous glasses malfunction prior to your victory collision.
It's so nice hearing them talk excitedly about "in the next game"
They are always working in "the next game" just look at half life alyx and how much time they were spending on doing it
Soul Of Cinder I believe they said it was 5 years of development
portal pac man
This is amazing, so great to hear their reactions also, more of these please
Gordon doesn't need to play through all this, he's a highly trained professional
This is IGN's best series
