Yeah, what could be fucking neater than something to wank off and/or dissapoint the chronic geek fancunt contingent. Really, what we need are more licenses that can be spread thinly to amd beyond breaking point across several mediums, it really doesn't matter that the source material is only really suitable for one, there's gold in them thar hills goddamn it.Feed my fucking children.
What we DON'T need is someone to come up with a properly original idea, to tweak the imagination and native excitement centres of the kids, to kick the endless recycling of the same geriatric fucking formula of "Look at my bastard NOISE, are you looking yet, dickHEAD, now buy my SHIT" right in the collective minge
I repeat : we do not need this. We are happy as we are
Half-life would make a perfect movie(s) ... God knows if it would be done right. But hey, I think one day it will happen. Wasn't Spielburg interested in HL at one time?

I don't think it would make a good movie at all, without restructuring the games entirely so that very, very little actually remained in the movie. If you focused on the setting and avoided all the major characters, and maybe had a brief cameo of Gordon coming in as a Deus Ex Machina to save the characters in the film before disappearing, that might work.
But trying directly to translate the game's set pieces into the movie would be disasterous, I think.
Half Life would suck as a movie if the main character were gordon.
Because if the main character is gordon, you just know hes gonna be a rambling nerd scientist who just goes on and on and on about sciencey shit and then turns into a badass crowbar action hero. THAT IS NOT GORDON FREEMAN.
The closest they could get would be if he barely talked at all and was just generally anti-social. Or not around other people.
Yeah, each 30 minute episode of the sci-fi miniseries could see Gordon running into a different tunnel with a different weapon attacking slightly different zombies!
And maybe some of the zombies would jump at him.

that sounds a bit like the new flash gordon series, except without the hotties and dumb enemies he crosses while jumping through portals or whatever

Yeah, if it was half-life 2, but if it's half-life, instead of tunnels, it'd be ventilation ducts.

Because the entire Half Life experience is about owning Gordon Freeman and becoming him and projecting everything YOU want from your ideal hero into him, they'd fuck him up regardless as to how he was on the screen.
anything could be made into a good movie if its done right, the chances of hl being done right are incredibly slim. but i'm sure it could be. and also people tho think a movie of a game would be a step by step walk thu of the game levels is pretty silly.
Although he will probaly be wearing a red suit instead of the orange HEV, the suits always like the colour red.
(The whole half-life experiance worked so well in the form of a game, heck even hl2 tried to expand on it and tbh failed, the movie would just be a waste of money, time and valves resources.)

Not to mention that video-game movies just turn into zombie fests no matter what, and HL is perfectly set up to be Resident Evil: Black Mesa.
I propose a Jackass style Halflife documentary.
Gordon talks.
::Heheh, check this out when I put this crystal in the beam, hehe:: (scientists laughing on the side)
::Hey alex, I bet you cant do this with a gravity gun::
Don;t let defacto direct the movie! He'll just turn it into a crowbar savant run!
