Weirdboyscott Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 So I saw this being advertised on Steam and I thought that OverClocked Remix would like to take a look at it. It's pretty epic, and it's called Escape from City 17. This isn't some machinima made in Garry's Mod, this is the real live action deal, and for being filmed on such a low budget it sure does look amazing. Any fan of the Half-Life games will really enjoy this. Be sure that you click inside the video, go to the actual Youtube page, and watch it in HD! Quote
Zephyr Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Not bad, the acting wasn't great but the action sequences were good, they did a great job on the striders/gunships. That guy with the crowbar is supposed to be freeman? And since when did Alyx decide to change skin color, hair color, and race? Oh well, I'll keep up with this and see where it goes. Plus their website is broken. Quote

Weirdboyscott Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 I thought it was obvious that this film series was featuring original characters. Freeman doesn't wear a beanie, Alyx isn't blonde, and neither of them escaped to White Forest on foot. Quote
JCvgluvr Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 This is very impressive. Maybe the acting isn't, but the action and visuals are killer! I can't believe how cool the tower looked! Can't wait for the next parts. Quote
Dhsu Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I'm really curious how they did the CG. The announcement says they used the Source SDK but it looks WAY better than anything I've ever seen from that engine. Quote
Sole Signal Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I thought it was obvious that this film series was featuring original characters. Freeman doesn't wear a beanie, Alyx isn't blonde, and neither of them escaped to White Forest on foot. I thought the same thing; "Freeman" looks nothing like himself, and neither does Alyx. Visuals are amazing though. Also, am I the only one who at first glance thought that was the LOTR tower? Quote
Toadofsky Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I thought this was an awesome video, especially for being made for only 500 bucks. Can't wait to see what else they do in these videos. Quote
Mr Azar Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I saw this two days ago, and since then, my hope for a good Half Life 2 movie has been rekindled . Oh, and obviously the asian guy wasn't Freeman just because he used a crowbar. Think a little. Quote
Toadofsky Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 From what I saw on the Youtube site for this video, Valve team flew the brothers who made this in to their place. And apparently, they've been in touch with them for a while. Maybe they want them to make the movie? I'd love to see them do it. Quote
Weirdboyscott Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Just shoving this back to the first page to get more people to see it. Quote
