Portal, Team Fortress 2 Live at Leipzig

Valve is planning on showing new real time offerings of HL2: Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2 at the upcoming Leipzig Games Convention. While the demos won't be playable, Valve's Doug Lombardi promises that they will include "never-before-seen" action. Considering we've only gotten one official peek at the games so far, we will take what we can get.

So, like, who else is "hella" excited about this Half-Life 2 monster package?

1. TFC was the first game I really got into- the multiplayer was just so damn addicting. So, this new Team Fortress 2 looks really different in terms of graphics, but if it plays like the old one I'm all for it. As for Portal- I played Prey and got my portal fill for a while.

It's the least I could do :)

4. I'm interested in getting such a bolstered experience on the 360, the engine's not that demanding compared to some others and it should fly on the 360 nicely, so i'll continue my HL experience on my HDTV, instead of going back to the PC.

Even if i can't use my mouse :B

5. Quite possibly one of the best games ever made coming to the 360 with episodes 1, 2, portal,team fortress 2 and hopefully counter strike - source........

With Hl:2 and episode one hopefully having a full graphical makeover into episode 2 standards and running at a rock steady framerate. It will look sweet no doubt, not pc sweet, but 'most' wont have a pc that would look better than on the 360, therefore more people can enjoy it the way its meant to be shown, not like the crappy version on the original box (how they did what they did was amazing but they shoulda just waited till now!)

anyway im excited

6. Man, my anticipation for Leipzig keeps on growing and growing! I can't wait to see these games in action!

7. I consider myself 'very' excited. I reserve getting 'hella' excited for Xmas Morning, good tacos, and one-wipers.

Moving on to news unrelated to toilets, the annoucement that I'm waiting for is that Episode One will also be included with this bundle. From what I understand, the first installment could be finished in about five or six hours, so we can probably expect something similar for Ep. 2, right? It would be a rather short SP game for what I expect to be a full price title.

Then there's this- considering that if it was not included, the strage result would be that 360 owners could play HL 2 and HL2 Episode Two and /not/ Episode One, it makes huge amounts of good sense to throw it in there. We'll have to wait and see.

8.
its been confirmed episode one is in the package (7.) im pretty darn sure, no news on counter strike- source that'll probaly come a little later on as an individual title.

9. I can't wait to get this game. I was seriously addicted to TFC, and only when I switched to mac did I break the addiction. The hours I spent on Dustbowl were probably the best of my life. I even remember sneaking away from my girlfriend just to play.

Now if they had dustbowl on the team fortress 2 release for the xbox 360, and can retain the great same gameplay, I can gurantee you I will be the happiest man on the planet.

10. I am HELLA excited about it too! It's easily one of the best gaming values out there; I mean they've packed enough new crap in to totally justify buying Half-Life 2 twice.

Btw, you're from the bay area I take it? (and I'm not making fun; I was raised in the bay area, hella's been a part of my vocab as long as I've been speaking)

12. Dude... this jumbo pack is hella sweeet. I haven't bought a game since I got my 360 in december and this will be worth it once I get it (all I own is Kameo and Cod2*kameo I never played it cause its gotta be gay*)... also this is coming from someone who has never played Half life at all.

13. Can't wait. When HL2 came out I seriously looked into how much it would cost me to build a pc that I could play it on. It was too much for me at the time, so I resigned myself that I probably would not get to play HL2, at least not for a long time. And then HL2 was ported to the xbox, and boy was I hella excited. And it was to be released around the 360 launch, and the 360 would be back-compat for certain games; HL2 being one of them. Well I spent Thanksgiving playing HL2. But not on my 360, but on my xbox. My 360 pre-order got screwed and I did not get my 360 until the second week of January. Back to the point; HL2 on the xbox was good but not the greatest. The load times were painful, but overall it was alot of fun to play and I'm glad I got to play it finally. Now we hear that HL2 and Episodes 1/2 etc... are coming to the 360. Fucking hella sweet. HL2 and all the rest on my 360 in Hi-Def, it will indeed be "hella".

14. I will be "Hella" excited once Counter-Strike Source has been confirmed. I have a computer that kills my 360 but the thought of everyone on a even playing field with a locked steady 60 fps gives me a chub. Don't get me wrong TFC 2 is going to PwN but CS:S will be a top 5 live games for years. Just like it does on the original X Box.
