yay so hype...
>J.J. Abrams
Yeah no thanks. And Portal wouldn't be fun as a movie anyway. They're going to Hollywood everything up. I can only imagine what the kind of shit they're going to do for the boss fight. Or having the actress respond to all the insults which will just ruin it.
>Oh yeah? Portal this!

Its gonna suck, its so gonna suck...
When was the last time Valve made a game?
ahahahah :D:D:D cake hahaha cake LOL ahahhaha cake guys hahahahahhaha cake is a lie :D AHAHAHAHAHAH CAKEEEEEEEEEE
Technically The Lab, this year.
If that doesn't count, then Dota in 2013.

Oh joy, I can already smell all the cake jokes coming, along with sassy smart talking Chell
And rebooting the national anthem.
he only directed episode 7. He's not doing anything else. each movie has other directors
But dota 2 was in "beta" since 2011 and since beta keys were being handed out left right and centre it was essentially 2011
Csgo doesn't really count either since it was originally supposed to be just a css port for consoles that turned into csgo
Are you trying to turn me off it or onto it?
>>directed by JJ Abrams
It's not actually directed by him though, he'll only be the producer.
J. J. Abrams, not Michael Bay.
The portals will make lens flares.
...
t-thanks...
EVERYTHING will make lens flares. Even dark tunnels and the light at the end of it.
>Jew Jew Abrams
all hype is gone
And every shot will be cramped and not focusing on anything visually interesting, because movies have to be shot in the same way as TV series
Oh, that's considerably more boring then, and sorry for the mistake I'm not really a movie buff.
>hyping a video games movie
What's wrong with good story being made into a movie?
Are you guys that insecure with your hobby?
>Half-Life's spin-off franchise getting more attention from Valve and normies than Half-Life itself
Where did it all go wrong?
Game stories don't translate well into film. Also, JJ Abrams is a hack.
Episodic Content
Hopefully this goes the way of the plans for Peter Jackson to direct Halo and never gets made.
The only problem I see is that Chell doesn't say anything. They'd never make a movie where you watch a silent woman solve portal riddles for two hours with the occasional commentary by GladOS. There's no way around it. They're going to make Chell speak and Cred Forums won't like it.
Wasn't he supposed to produce that Samurai Jack movie?
Portal = Mario
HL = Zelda
What the hell is that?
>getting hype for video game movies
you are the problem

Absolutely fucking retarded. Hollywood kikes should just off themselves for the betterment of the world.
'Member Portal?

Portal has good writing, not a good story. Glados is less interesting when player agency is removed, since she won't be dynamically responding to your actions.

>Still to this day nothing really leads to HL3 ever being in active development
Fucking hell is it impossible to like these slugs anymore
more like killing their games with updates, i'd rather TF2 had 1,000 concurrent players and no hats and shitty added weapons.
whats the eta for it? less than 10 years?
Fucking finally, I remember reading about that like 5 years ago.
>Portal and Half Life movies
Fuck off, valve.
Feels pointless since the games already told a story just fine. Abrams directed the new Star Treks though, right? I liked 3 a lot and found the others decent, even if Star Wars was shit.
I hope they don't try to integrate gameplay from the games as part of the movie.
Just make it about the origin of Aperture and focus on good acting and good science fiction.
Who am I kidding...
>J.J. Abrams
This is going to break all records. This will be the new star wars.
Portal doesn't have a good story. 1 barely had a story and 2 was mostly just memes.
...
>Half Life 3 is announced
>it's a JJ Abrams movie rather than a game
>Valve doesn't talk about HL3
>THEREFORE they're not working on it
Do you realise that Valve always bullshited everyone about everything they did for the last 16 years? Remember how they said CS:GO was gonna have crossplay between PC and console just for fun? Remember how Gabe said he was working on L4D3 before L4D was even released?
Do you realise that they made a new graphic engine, and even an entirely new physics engine just so they don't have to use Havok? Do you realise that they're a private company and can do whatever the fuck they want, and don't have to meet deadlines because a publisher told them to?
>slugs
>Made more stuff in a few years than most companies put together.
Neo/v/ memelords are cringy as hell.
>weapon skins are content.
All they've done lately is create a shitty console that does nothing and a bad controller.
>Portal Movie
Neato now it can join the
>Mass Effect Movie
>Metal Gear Solid Movie
>Uncharted Movie
>Mortal Kombat Movie
In the "It's not happening" category
Dota had a full port to source 2 which kind of makes it new.
What are you talking about user?
In the last few years they made a graphic engine, a physics engine, an OS, a console, a controller, a VR headset+VR demos, and updated the two of the most popular multiplayer games out there.
>inb4 I don't care about these so they're irrelevant.
Not to mention weapon skins and skins in general are community made.
Ehhhhhhh...
The mortal kombat movie did happen.

I refuse to believe anyone that isn't brain damaged actually gets excited about game inspired films
There's supposed to be a new one that's been in development hell since WB got their hands on the MK franchise.
They had a director but he's going to do Aquaman now.
These are actually going to be good. Valve has already talked about making sure they're not attempts at direct adaptations, but rather telling side stories more suited to film. It most likely won't be Abram directing, either, rather Trachtenberg, who recently had his debut 10 Cloverfield Lane which was FUCKING AMAZING and clearly inspired by Half-Life to some degree, arguably enough that you could call it a 'dress rehearsal' for the real deal.
this
The Lab is fucking fantastic, and shows Valve still 'has it'. They legitimately could have fleshed it out just a little more (just some brief vague narrative, something to convey your being delivered to The Lab or awaking there, and then a brief linear puzzle segment at the end using the reward toys to finally escape), maybe charged some nominal fee to force media to cover it, and it would have gotten 10/10s and honorable mentions at GOTY award time.
It's another "let's announce a movie we will never make" episode. Fuck off
MGS movie was in pre-production when Konami had its meltdown, and could still bounce back at some point. Mortal Kombat had a fairly decent movie in the 90s (although I know it's divisive, I appreciated it as camp - it's really not a series that should be taken too seriously). Uncharted has had four good films already.
Deus Ex and AssCreed have their films well into production and on their way. AssCreed is probably going to meet mixed reviews and poor performance, but Deus Ex has a small chance to do decently.
Half-Life and Portal are the ones that really should make it big, if any (and Metal Gear, if that ever makes it out of production). They're just the right kind of franchise, with the right kind of rights-holders.
>so the cake really was a lie
>credits roll
What a truly awful idea in every way.
>GOOD UPDATES
Friendly reminder than all valvedrones are cancer
thats epic
>Uncharted has had four good films
Discarded. You haven't even played them because this meme is old as fuck and provably false.
>They're just the right kind of franchise, with the right kind of rights-holders.
I wouldn't call Konami the "right kind of rights-holders"
lmao
Hmm, didnt knew about that.
Maybe its for the best...
Or are there preprod sketches or something?
They are doing like the OT, each movie has a different director.
>J.J. Abrams
The Half-Life setting could be successfully used for a movie, but you should never bother trying to make a filmadaption out of a videogame.
I can't even imagine how a Portal adaption would work.
>JJ Abrams
>Video Games movie
pass.
If they're smart they'll only use the setting and have the story be moderately related to the game's content
Trying to directly convert a game with a silent protagonist into a movie is guaranteed to be a disaster
I can see it happening by breaking how the game played out (you were alone) and having other students be in the film (because other test subjects existed that left behind notes and evidence).
More like Half-Life = 90's Metroid
Does this mean Portal 3 in the future?
Good thing it's not an announcement. It's an announcement of the upcoming announcement ;)
lol no
Valve might make some more portal themed hats though.
It sounds a lot more promising if you think of it as an aperture science movie than just a portal movie.
I can imagine it starting off in the 60's with old aperture then going through the years and eventually into ruin. Possibly with a focus on cave johnson and caroline turning into glados.
If it's just mel going through test chambers against glados it will be shit
>yfw it's a biopic-like movie about Cave Johnson and the rise and fall of Aperture
>Cave Johnson is alive in a core cube
WHAT THE FUCK
>Excited about a video game-based movie
>Glados will make fun of Chell's weight
>feminists bitch
>Glados is nice and Chell will actually be fat and/or black
>Chell is too quiet, she needs to be sassier and "street"
>Aperture laboratories will become a safe space
>Casuals applaud Abrams for being brave
>jj abrams
>portal movie
To be fair they can make chell whatever they want. It's not like she has a personality in the games.
>we're running out of franchises to exploit, because making original IPs that stick is risky
>VIDEO GAMES
name one (1) good videogame to movie adaptation
nice its a good thing this is 2013, the last year valve made a video game, so I can't wait to see how this will turn out
Why must the Jew defile everything that we love? Why JayJay? He's ruined Star Trek with lens flares and the Kelvin timeline, and now he intends to ruin Chell and GLaDOS.
Dark times are ahead. There is no light at the end of the tunnel; only more darkness.
99% chance they (it?) will be directed by Dan Trachtenberg, not JJ Abrams himself. If you want to have some idea what to expect;
youtube.com
rottentomatoes.com
IMO we could be much, much worse off. People were already (positively) noting 10CLs similarities and possible connections to the Half-Life universe, even before it released.
A JJ Abrams HL movie wouldn't even be bad, but why Portal? If I had to think of a game that would translate like shit to a movie Portal would be one of them. It would have to be slow-paced as fuck, and both the normalfags attracted by JJ's name and the redditor meme-spewing Portalfags wouldn't take kindly to.

>getting hyped for this
Name me ONE video game movie that was actaully good
you browse Cred Forums too xD
Doom
Sonic OVA
what race is chell?
10 Cloverfield Lane
black
she looks non-specific to any race.
which idk why because most people who play it are white fucking males
Looks mixed.
she looks like various asian races blended to me
iirc the girl she was modeled after was japanese-brazillian
Cred Forums would have a meltdown if Portal would be released today.
kill yourself
Portal, you say?
Cred Forums would have a meltdown if portal was released today.
She looked Samoan in 1 but then they made her generic pretty white girl
Still surprised no one threw a shitfit over that
As far as I'm concerned Cred Forums is Cred Forums nowadays.
JJ "If its white, I will rewrite" Abrahamstein
Good thing chell isn't white you idiot.
DUDE
this looks white to you?
...
Yes.
Why now?
Portal 2 released 5 years ago.
what about her?
Looks like a man. A white man.
Interesting.
What about this one?
>le trailer movie man.
No thanks.
I watch your two Treks. They're not movies, they're....collections of scenes.
Everything JJ abrams makes is shit you idiot.
She could have fucking harambe's genes in her but she still looks white as chalk, dude
Another white man.
Ebin
you know the difference between tone and race, right?
If you look white, you're part of the master race in my book.
what about her?
good thing she have, yurk yurk yurk..
Absolutely delusional
ok. last one
Samoan

>getting hype for a Videogame movie

>That's what Cred Forumstards actually belive
If you played or enjoyed Portal you are part of "le cake is a lie trolololol" faggots
Jew Hew Abrahams has never made a movie with a good screenplay. He won't even be able to replicate the humor, much less the meaning behind it.
Because HL3 coming 2018 at the latest as *THE* VR system-seller.
Also it probably could have happened sooner, but for both Bad Robot and Valve getting too busy with other things.
More like it's what newfags like to ignore.
>Newfag
I've been here since The Rock was cooking
Hahahahaha we did it bros!
Are you HYPE?! xD
I literally don't know how I'm going to survive without this movie in my life!
>implying VR is not a Power Glove-tier failure

Thats pretty newfagish
Also, I supposed now with the CTR leaks everyone knows they were played like fools on Cred Forums.
Condensed plot of the leaks
>CTR admits they cant spin the minds of people who do it for free on Cred Forums and gives up on them
>CTR both falseflag as extremist Cred Forumsgoobergator and sjw tumblr faggot on Cred Forums and neutral boards
>People get "tired" of those awful Cred Forums people
>The middle ground they created after pushing the extremes to the sides, is now ignorant of everything and gets manipulated easily
If you hate Cred Forums because you are tired of them boardcrossing, if you think Cred Forums wasnt racist or misogynist before Cred Forums or if you are voting for Hillary, CTR did well their job. They played you like a damn fiddle.
>CTR
I liked the JIDF meme better
Don't forget the Spy Hunter movie.
Centre the movie around aperture's history bould be great. Something like :
45h of aperture history (with explanation on portal device), 20 min of glados ruling the facility (mayve with comedy, to introduce the character), 1h of chell blowing her up.
>Deus Ex movie
what?
Chell is now a sassy black woman, Glados speaks in ebonics and Aperture was some sort of white supremacy slave movement.
Hard to be a meme when everyone and their mothers saw the CTR emails that were leaked already
Mortal Kombat
you forgot to add the bioshock movie
its going to be shit
WORLD OF WARCRAFT
Chell was always black though
Nice try, stormcuck
done!
So Hillary was planning this campaign years in advance then, or what?
Mortal Kombat
Silent Hill
Angry Cred Forums Birds
you are wrong.
>Abrams
hasn't he ruined enough already? Why can't he fuck off?
CTR is a democrat tool, it doesnt belong to just Hillary.
Anyways, videogames

Tetris the movie is confirmed though.
>Valve has already talked about making sure they're not attempts at direct adaptations, but rather telling side stories more suited to film.
[citation needed], please.
If they did say this then I have more hope the movie won't be god-awful.
>nightmare mode: good videogame to movie adaptation by Uwe Boll
Postal
He's coming back for the fourth Star Trek movie. Either he isn't directing this or it won't be happening for years
Hispanic
was the warcraft movie full of memes? I haven't seen it, but I heard it had some genuine references to certain npcs/items but no memes.
She wasnt black dipshit.
>WE WUZ CHELL N SHEEET
it was in the very original Gabe/Abrams talk where they announced the partnership.
youtube.com
probably this, but i don't have time to watch it all right now to make sure.
personally, I have no fear for the movies to be at least not-painful, because . Trachtenberg was hired specifically because he had proven his respect for and understanding of the source material, and he's since proven himself very well with 10CL (which really could have been in the Half-Life universe itself).
knee-jerk 'jj the jew coming to ruin another franchise' and '>videogame movie' are just idiots unconsciously memeing.
Wait didnt Gaben do an interview with JJ about why video game movies suck?
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Considering that memberberries seem to be a big plot point I think people will be saying it until the end of the season
That was the best part of portal too.
>looks like she is 15
>is actually 20
Is there anything better?
What's the point? Video game movies suck, as do most movies in general. What's the reason to have your game made into a movie and bastardize the experience?
Portal doesn't have a story, it's just one puzzle after another.
And no, conversations here and there with Glados and ~~mysterious~~ writings on the wall isn't a story.
>tfw Half Life 3, the movie, has a better chance of coming out than the game.
>J.J. Abrams
nah
He's actually a good choice for it, because him and the source engine both put a fake looking metal sheen on everything.
>J.J. Abrams
>GET HYPE
That actually makes me less hyped. Why do they keep giving everything to Abrams? He's such a mediocre director.
yeah, banging you're mom
This is 100% canon
Yeah, if they're actually 15.
>reddit: the movie
>hype
no
reminder that the lead writer and level designer for HL2 both left valve and that HL3 will be shit if it's made

Yeah, i member

Would be excited if it wasn't Abrams.

>YWN get a direct adaptation of the events of Half-Life 1, Opposing Force and Blue Shift

It's a valid argument as a theme in the show, why wouldn't people start saying it?
I mean it points out exactly why we are getting all these lame adaptations and recreations... our plight of the nostalgiafags...
