Escape From City 17

[Shadrach]

Awesome looking webseries made from live action and from the game, set in the HL2 universe.
Part one, be sure to watch in HD and fullscreen:

Not really much happening in the first part, but looks extremely promising, that is until they get sued by Valve or something

 

[Crusher]

They promoted it on steam so I doubt they'll get sued
Looks quite nice

 

[KrazyKraut]

I heard about this on steam so they are probably cool with it. Why wouldn't they, it's free advertising. Looks pretty neat and I'm normally not a fan of this stuff, so that says something.

EDIT: Crusher beat me to it.

This is very awesome, except for the Combines' movement being too human. I thought the locations were kinda boring but the preview showing canals, zombies etc. was very cool. This is definitely a proof that a Half-Life movie would be totally awesome, if done right. In the beginning when you saw the city and all that automatically created a very dense atmosphere.

Remember that the combine soldiers are still atleast partly human, but yeah its awesome.

Heres a dl link for the HD version if anyone else is having problems with youtube.

I always thought that the cops were humans, and that we only saw the combine as we got deeper into the Citadel. Was I wrong all this time?

The video did make me go back through the first few levels of HL2 again, though.

I thought the acting sucked pretty hard but the visuals are insane.

I always thought a movie based in the HL world would be awesome. Maybe this will get some director thinking about it.

Remember that the combine soldiers are still atleast partly human, but yeah its awesome.

metro-cops/civil protection are 100% human (the dudes w/ white helmets), they are given minor benefits for working for the combine but have little responsibility other then to keep the city population constantly suppressed. Soldiers are the ones that are fresh out of nova prospekt and not fully human.

[Skew]

Interesting video, but the acting was really terrible.

 

[KrazyKraut]

Do better then

 

[fOgGy]

Do better then

They could try and hire better actors

 

[DraKon2k]

They could try and hire better actors

Yes, why don't get they get A+ hollywood actors with their great budget of 500$.

 

[Rak]

I think it's a pretty darn good work for 500$. Shows that a decent Half-Life based movie is totally possible.

Sean Connery would work for $50 about now
