New Half-Life 2: Episode Two trailer shows improved visual effects
A new, extended version of the Episode Two trailer is now available for high-res download (or watch it below). Half-Life 2: Episode Two advances the 16-million unit selling franchise, as Valve’s trilogy of episodic single player releases continue the award-winning story of Half-Life 2.
Armed with new weaponry and vehicles, Dr. Gordon Freeman must race through a countryside riddled with an increasingly feirce Combine threat. Episode Two is coming to PC, PS3 & Xbox 360 in late 2006, and also includes Portal & Team Fortress 2. You can watch the old teaser here.
Visual improvements shown below.
You can expect new weapons and new enemies, of course, plus a rather fancy new Cinematic Physics system. It was invented by Valve’s Gray Horsfield; he used to work for visual effects facility Weta, and produced the destruction scenes in Peter Jackson’s King Kong and the Lord of the Rings films.
