Aftermath and Lost Coast Previews

[CSN NewsBot]

Over at 1UP fans of Half-Life 2 will be pleased to see a week long look at the games of Valve. Starting today with a look at Aftermath and the Lost Coast.

Yes, Aftermath, the much-anticipated answer to the question: "what happened at the end?" is coming together nicely. But after what we've come to understand about Valve's approach to story it's becoming clear almost as quickly that it probably won't answer as many of our questions as we might like. What it will do is bring you back to City 17 where the Citadel is up to its tricks again and some characters you cared about wait for support. And unlike expansion packs to the original Half-Life, you won't want to miss this one. It's part of core progression to the story.

There's plenty more tasty information to be found in the first article of the week, so go check it out while I finish getting settled into my dorm room.

I hope it's long. Opposing force and blue shift made me cry.

Supposed to be 1/3 roughly of Half-Life 2 I think.

Haha I like how at the end of the interview Laidlaw mentions that if you don't experience this episode you'll be missing out on the continuation of the story and the development of the HL universe.



In other words buy this expansion or you wont know wtf is going on.

I actually found HL2 to be kinda short.

[entRo]

it was pretty short.

Opposing force was still about 2/3 of the original, I think. Blue shift maybe a quarter? It felt that short.

I can't wait till ATI release their next gen card, because then Valve will release Lost Coast!



Seriously, no one else spotted the relationship?



If(ATI.SM3 = False){

DontReleaseLostCoast;
