Oh good old times, was it 2003? Man I still remember the leak!

And btw, why is he regretting now? He claimed to steal the code so we could see haw far the game was in development.

But thanks to him the game was delayed, stupid douche

This is what you get when people like him and geohot scream "we want moar Tranzparanzy"

I doubt it was truly 'thanks to him' the game was delayed. The source code proved Valve was seriously behind in development.

But yeah, good times!

that picture right there.. was the first official image of half life 2 that i saw in a magazine..

i had a dial up conexion back then 56k... my country was going trough a crisis and my family didnt do too well either...

i asked my mom to buy that little magazine for me it was around 3bucks.. was very small but. i stick to that thing for months.. i was soo damn happy

only half life 3 can give me that feeling back... i dont care if im 30 when half life 3 comes out and maybe i wont be playing games anymore but haha damn i would buy a pc and the game if it took that long

It didn't get delayed due to him. He just wanted more info on the game and to see how far they have gotten. He was tempted to play the game and shared it with someone who decided to leak it, should'nt have trusted the other person.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_92406d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil405d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

One of my biggest art heroes. His work and vision were truly one of a kind, and he’s been a huge inspiration to my own work. Such a heartbreaking loss.

Deeeeznuuuts487d ago

Remember seeing Dishonored for the first time when it released, fell in love with the art style straight away, so striking! And because of it, still holds up and will for years to come, RIP Viktor

JEECE487d ago

Yep I remember seeing some of the earliest concept art for Dishonored and hearing that the art director of Half-Life 2 was working on it and being excited.

And you are absolutely right, each of those games (HL2 and Dishonored) has a distinct art style that stands the test of time.

Relientk77487d ago

So sad to hear this. I absolutely love the Dishonored series and love the world and art style. It looks great and unique. I'm still hoping for a Dishonored 3

rokos487d ago

RIP Viktor love your work

Ethereal487d ago

Damn... Dishonored has such amazing art. RIP.
