Steam:
Valve Launches First of an Episodic Trilogy
Bellevue, WA, June 1, 2006 - Valve®, developer of the blockbuster series Half-Life® and Counter-Strike™, announced Half-Life® 2: Episode One is now available via Steamgames.com for just $19.95 and at retail outlets around the world.
The first in a trilogy of episodic games, Episode One reveals the aftermath of Half-Life 2 and launches a journey beyond City 17. Episode One does not require Half-Life 2 to play and also includes a first look at Episode Two, which will ship by year's end.
In addition to the new single player experience, two multiplayer games are included. And those who purchase Episode One will have free access via Steam (www.steamgames.com) to Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, the interactive technology demo that introduces High Dynamic Range lighting to the SourceTM Engine, Valve's award-winning game technology.
I think an assumed conversation would be even more annoying.
The whole point of HL2 is Gordon being 100% under your control. If Gordon interacted with the characters in ways you didn't set up, you'd lose that.
Even if you don't hear him, you'd still have times when you think "what kind of idiot would say that?"
Gordon doesn't say anything. He's tall, nerdy and mysterious. And probably a bit of a headcase. Everyone knows this. They just accept it. He's seen some crazy things, and just doesn't feel like talking about it.
Making him talk, or worse having assumed conversations that, for some reason you can't hear, would be annoying and weird.
