Und hält sich das Gameplay nach zwei Jahrzehnten immer noch so gut, oder ist es eher ein Fall für das Museum? Zwischen nostalgischen Anekdoten und frischen Ersteindrücken sprechen wir über den ikonischen Einstieg, die Physikrätsel, den Horror von Ravenholm, die (fehlende?)

From the atmosphere, to the story, to the variety in gameplay, to that sick physics engine; Valve knows their way around a video game. We shoulda covered this one a long time ago. I first played Half-Life 2 on my OG Xbox back in the day, and went in totally blind. It made an impression, and as soon as I finished, I knew that I had experienced something special. Replaying it in 2025, I'm happy to say it aged like wine. I was genuinely shocked that none of the game mechanics felt outdated or anything, and the pacing is actually BETTER than some of the games I've played in recent years. What a classic. A game about fighting aliens calls for a conversation with an alien. My buddy Tyler is my guest this week, and I really hope this episode delivers. Tyler was battling a cold, I was battling the influence of the devil's lettuce, and we really got a little more scatterbrained than we usual get on the show. But at the end of the day, it's an hour of 2 guys talking about how great Half-Life 2 is, and that's what you're here for, right? And before we start swinging crowbars, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone says they will never buy a game at full price again. Does anyone else get to the end of a game and then quit for some reason? And what third-party games would make the biggest splash on the Switch 2?? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Valve classics: Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Counter-Strike. Learn more about your ad choices.

Auch wir starten in den letzten Monat diesen Jahres und kommen mit der 174. Episode des SpielBar Podcasts um die Ecke! Heute hört ihr Olu und Marco am Mikrofon und die beiden haben wieder ein paar News und Spiele für euch zusammengetragen. So wurden unter anderem Neva, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Life is Strage: Double Exposure und Still Wakes the Deep beendet. Auch zu [Redacted] gibt es ein finales Urteil und neu im Ring ist Lords of the Fallen. Wie gut oder schlecht sich das neue Feature der PS Portal anfühlt? Mit dem Handheld von Sony ist Streaming nun möglich - ganz unabhängig von einer stationären Konsole. Erste Gehversuche hat Marco für euch unternommen. Marcos bisherige Meinung zur PS Portal könnt ihr auf unserem Blog nachlesen! Und weil Handhelds seit dem ungebrochenen Erfolg der Nintendo Switch nach wie vor in aller Munde sind, hätten Xbox und Sony auch gerne ein kleines Stück vom Kuchen. Beide arbeiten wohl an mobilen Geräten wie es heißt. Darüber hinaus arbeitet Sony kräftig daran die Kadokawa Corporation zu kaufen. Die Muttergesellschaft zahlreicher Tochterunternehmen, die in den Bereichen Publishing, Film, Cross Media, uvm. aktiv sind. Dazu gehören z.B. Elden Ring- und Dark Souls-Macher FromSoftware, Acquire und Spike Chunsoft. Valve hat eine sehenswerte Dokumentation (mittlerweile hat Marco die Doku gesehen) zum 20 jährigen Jubiläum zu Half-Life 2 auf YouTube veröffentlicht. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCjNT9qGjh4 Und auf derselben Videoplattform findet ihr auch einen neuen Spot von Microsoft zur Xbox. Darin ist zu sehen was alles eine Xbox sein kann. Wir haben ja schon häufiger im Podcast erwähnt, wovon wir glauben, welchen Weg die Xbox in Zukunft gehen wird. Tencent haut im übrigen auch wieder einen raus und hat die Marke Horizon von Guerilla Games einfach richtig kackendreist kopiert. Das ist eigentlich zu frech um wahr zu sein, ist aber wahr. Die Kommentare unter dem Video sind eigentlich das Beste daran! Besonders gut gefällt mir der Kommentar von @MrSamsaur: "Horizon Zero Shame: Forbidden East." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0Of5Xjdwbc Und vor dieser Kontroverse gab es noch ein anderes heikles Thema. Die Nominierungen der diesjährigen The Game Awards. Den DLCs und Remakes können nun auch den Preis zum besten Spiel des Jahres abgreifen. Unsere Meinung dazu hört ihr in der Folge - aber wie steht ihr dazu? Wir bedanken uns wie immer fürs reinhören und wenn ihr uns einen Gefallen tun wollt, dann empfehlt uns gerne weiter, lasst ein Abo da und bewertet unseren Podcast auf eurem Portal des Vertrauens. Bleibt den Pixeln treu!

The 20th-anniversary update to Half-Life 2 turns the game into a masterclass in game design. The Besties talk about the in-game commentary along with the new feature-length documentary. No surprise: Valve nailed it again. Plus, Griffin and Frush opine on Pokémon TCG Pocket! Get the full list of games (and other stuff) discussed at www.besties.fan. Want more episodes?

Il prossimo 12 dicembre si terranno a Los Angeles i Game Awards, uno degli eventi più importanti legati alla stagione videoludica che viene ogni anno organizzato e presentato da Geoff Keighley.

Si parla poi dei più importanti giochi usciti nelle ultime settimane, tra cui Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 e The Rise of the Golden Idol, di come Sony e Microsoft inizino a dedicarsi sempre di più al cloud gaming con Xbox Game Pass e PlayStation Portal e di uno dei giochi più influenti e importanti di tutti i tempi: Half-Life 2. I consigli della settimana sono il remake di Dragon Quest 3, il nuovo Flight Simulator e Death of the Reprobate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dans cet épisode, on parle des 20 ans du jeu Half-Life 2, des ambitions de Microsoft au niveau des acquisitions futures et de sa potentielle console portable, ainsi que des employés de Zenimax qui tombent en grève. Je vous partage aussi mes impressions du jeu The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, le dernier opus de la série légendaire qui nous mets enfin dans le rôle de la princesse titulaire!

Zuletzt machten Meldungen zu zwei abgerauchten Ryzen 9800X3D die Runde und normalerweise würden zwei kaputte CPUs absolut kein Interesse wecken, aber erstens ist der 9800X3D gerade das große Ding und zweitens gab es beim Vorgänger 7800X3D tatsächlich technische Probleme mit zu hohen Spannungen (und Intels Probleme mit der 13. und 14. Generation lässt auch vorsichtig sein). Aber nach allem, was bekannt ist, sollte es sich hier um Anwenderfehler handeln. Die CPUs wurden wohl ganz einfach falsch installiert. Ganz auszuschließen sind Qualitätsmängel am Sockel bzw. Mainboard nicht, daher sind Gamers Nexus, AMD und MSI (Hersteller beider betroffener Mainboards) dran und untersuchen das Ganze. Gar nicht schön ist die Antwort von Googles AI/LLM Gemini an einen User bei seinen Hausaufgaben, wir sahen es als sinnvoll an, vor der Stelle eine Content Warnung anzubringen. Viel schöner sind zwei Jubiläen: Half-Life 2 ist 20 Jahre alt und bekommt ein großes Update inklusive einer Dokumentation mit Einblicken in die Entwicklung. Warcraft ist sogar schon 30 Jahre alt, dafür gibt es von Blizzard Remaster von Warcraft 1+2 und das ungeliebte Warcraft 3 Reforged wird nochmal Reforged mit dem Update 2.0. Wusstet ihr eigentlich, dass es an deutschen Wasserstofftankstellen kaum mehr Wasserstoff zu tanken gibt? Ja, genau. Die Meldung führt uns über den Sinn von Wasserstoff in Fahrzeugen zur Gefährlichkeit und Brennbarkeit von Benzin und Akkus zu erneuerbaren Energien und dem möglichen Einsatz von Wasserstoff als "Pufferspeicher". Dann war Meep auf einmal weg. Viel Spaß mit Folge 231!

Are game devs losing touch on demos? We dive into Valve's decision to scrap the Junk store. Plus, we're breaking down Linux-native Next Fest picks and trying to make sense of those mysterious Half-Life 2 updates. Oh, and Qualcomm's cancels Snapdragon developer kits because reasons.

Suite de notre mois spécial "jeux solos de Valve des années 2000" où l'on s'intéresse au cultissime Half Life 2. Comment faire suite à une œuvre majeure de l'industrie ? Quelles leçons retenir du développement du premier volet ? Half Life 2 est-il encore un FPS pertinent en 2024 ? Autant de question dont nous allons parler dans cet épisode.

Il aura fallu 5 années de développement aux équipes de Valve pour donner une suite au premier Half-Life. Un cycle de production particulièrement long et difficile qui témoigne des ambitions du studio pour ce deuxième épisode, centré notamment autour de l'exploitation d'un nouveau moteur physique. Mais 20 après sa sortie, Half-Life 2 impressionne encore. Sa gestion du rythme, sa mise en scène avant-gardiste et bien sûr son Gravity Gun qui reste un bijou d'interactivité… C'est un FPS maitrisé, audacieux, et si on fait abstraction de l'aspect visuel (encore que…), il apparait toujours comme un des meilleurs représentants de son genre. Aujourd'hui on n'espère plus vraiment de véritable 3ème épisode, mais on peut saluer tout son héritage qui a marqué les années 2010 du jeu vidéo PC, sans même parler de son rôle dans l'hégémonie de Steam.Merci à nos patreotes qui financent l'émission sur https://www.patreon.com/findugameSi vous réalisez un achat sur Top Achat, vous pouvez entrer le code créateur FINDUGAMERejoignez le club de lecture sur Discord : https://discord.gg/YTGbSkN

My guest today is the American writer and game designer Chet Faliszek. In the nineties he and his friend Erik Wolpaw founded the website Old Man Murray. The satirical online publication poked fun at video gaming's sacred cows and established a tone that is still prevalent across the internet today. After catching the attention of Half-Life creator Gabe Newell, the pair joined the video game developer Valve. There my guest contributed to the writing on Half Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2, co-wrote Portal, then led development of Left 4 Dead and its sequel. In 2017 he left Valve, eventually founding his own studio Stray Bombay. The company's first game, The Anacrusis, is a brightly coloured and joke-filled cooperative first-person shooter set aboard a stranded spaceship.

Fancy setting us a gaming challenge? Get in touch here!Fasten your seatbelts for a high-octane brainstorming session, where we ditch the typical MMO fare for a wild ride featuring vehicle-based gameplay and an assassin targeting mechanics. Scott and I conjure up a universe where strategic target selection meets the thrill of the chase. We chart a course through the tempestuous seas of World War II naval warfare, conceptualising an MMO where every periscope peek and torpedo launch intensifies the already palpable tension. Picture a world teeming with rivalries, narrative-rich vendettas, and strategic oceanic battles. It's a place where friendships are forged in the fires of war, and every decision has the weight of history behind it. All aboard for a strategic voyage replete with submarines, ships, and the relentless pursuit of victory.Thanks for listening and please leave us a review and subscribe if you enjoyed it.

Well the Golden Globes happened, and CES is still underway, hopefully you wont confuse the two. Lucasfilm dropped a thermal detonator's worth of news, a new star wars film, and a shows renewal. Xbox takes the first stage of 2024, and Star Citizen wants to take all your money, after it already did so. Layoffs continue in the gaming industry, as Hollywood kicks it back into high gear. Plus my favorite movies from 1991, since it was the year I was born. Come take a listen.

What's up everybody! Long time no podcast :)This episode is going to be very similar to the last one that we put out where Will covered Mario Odyssey!. Its straight to the point in covering all things around Half-Life 2. The elements that I (Nick) enjoyed, my critiques and whether it held up for me in 2023. We're also going to provide a beat-by-beat breakdown of the plot/levels throughout the game and where my headspace was at in each moment. So I hope you all enjoy, and thanks so much for your patience and consideration!Music, Mix & Master by: Daniel Campolihttps://www.danielcampoli.com/portfolioIf you want to reach out to Nick and Will personally to engage with us about the show, follow us on any link here:https://linktr.ee/FridayNightGamecastSupport the show
