Steam Update, Half-Life: The Movie?

Posted by arsen at 01:01 15/7/2003.

Over on the Steam forums, everyone's favourite Valve employee, Erik Johnson, has announced yet another update to the now infamous platform. It seems there's a new version out which will fix all the crashes people have been experiencing when launching the game.

Here's what the man himself had to say earlier today:

There is a new version of Steam available now that will address some of the crashes that people have seen when starting and launching a game.
The first Half-Life 2 movie will be released later today.

Well, I can now tell you that the first of the HL2 movies has been released and can be downloaded via Steam. Apparently however, it's the same footage we have already seen from e3, but of a much higher quality.

Moving onto other Valve related news, I noticed this little gem over at CS Central. It appears Valve and Sierra have put the movie rights for Half-Life up for grabs. However, we shouldn't start getting all excited just yet, apparently many movie rights from other games have been put up only for them to be ignored by the people that matter. However, with Half-Life being the number one game of all time, surely the rights would be snapped up by someone? Possible actors to play Gordon Freeman in the comments please!

	mittu 01:10 15/7/2003	The guy who played the professor in Back to the Future as ermm..... one of the professors, denzel washington would have to be the black professor guy. Bit of a small part though. Robin Williams as one of them funny things that goes wubblwubblwublle then crouches and does the lightning circle thingy..man im bored. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	mittu 01:14 15/7/2003	The face sucker out of alien could play one of the HL face suckers. Kevin Spacey as the G-man, he has an eerie quality but isnt very imposing :/ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Nick^ 01:26 15/7/2003	I agree with Spacey as G-Man... Steve Buscemi with some hair dye as Freeman :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	mittu 01:29 15/7/2003	Buscemi doesn't look intelligent enough, he does look cool carrying a gun though. Mebbe bruce willis, he looked and acted intelligent in sixth sense so that might work. Can't believe how much thouht I have put into this........... bed time [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Nick^ 01:30 15/7/2003	Nah he's intelligent, watch him in Res Dogs at the start, he seems v intelligent then and carries it off well... has a kind of wise-talking attitude. But if they kept it true to HL Gordon would never talk... [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	-gaz- 20:09 15/7/2003	Jackie Chan as freeman, Jennifer Love Hewitt as Alex, so even if it's a s*** movie like The Tuxedo, at least you've got something to look at tbh :) Nah, Ed Norton for Freeman... Geeky and skinny looking (typical scientst stereotype), but somehow still manages to look cool, plus he can actually act. Athony Hopkins as G-Man -he always looks evil! This would be a good poll topic... [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
