This year's GDC '07 is bringing forth a lot of new information about the Orange Box. The latest is a demonstration video for Episode 2 that shows off new gameplay footage that has not been seen in previously released videos.
You had better believe there are spoilers contained in the video, along with a new demonstration of their cinematic physics, the new blood effects, and another look at the dynamic soft shadows which are said to be coming to HL2 and Episode 1 as well, but only in the new console versions.
There are a few additional details, not video related. The Orange Box is still slated for a Steam Release on October 10 at 12:01AM PDT. Retail copies will be released on the 10th for North America and on the 12th for Europe. YouGamers have some idea as to the min requirements for Episode 2. These include a 1.7GHz P4, 512MB of RAM, and a DirectX 8 capable card. These are not official by any means though.
