Half-Life 2D Creators Interviewed

Posted by simoniker on from the metal-headcrab dept.

Thanks to Gamers With Jobs for its interview with the creators of Half-Life 2D: Codename Gordon, a "Flash-made 2D shooter based on the Half-Life 2 footage that was shown so far", as previously mentioned on Slashdot Games. Dev team member Paul Kamma promises: "The game [will be released] before HL2", and a preview at City17.de has more information, including many screenshots of the multiple levels "inspired by the E3 [2003] videos."

    Wow, that looks awesome. Kind of like Metal Slug in a different setting. It's no CS, but this game is definitely going to suck down some of my hours when they get finished with it.

    ...as it may be as close to playing HL2 as us Mac users are going to get.

    Plus it looks similar to Metal Slug, which is never a bad thing IMO.

    What, this thing still hasn't been released?
    That's it, I'm creating a Defender clone based on the released screenshots.

    "The game [will be released] before HL2"

    There's a Duke Nukem Forever joke in here somewhere.

      they weren't really sequels, just ports of DN3D, sometimes with bonus weapons, levels, multiplayer, etc.

      But that DNF is a/the_real sequel isnt the point of the joke -- it's that they've been working on the game since god knows when, have hyped it up like some god, and have failed to deliver anything at all, except for a trailer in iirc 1999... since then, there's been 2 (again, iirc... possibly more) engine changes..

      1.3 ghz for a 640x480 2D scroller written in Flash.
      That's why.
