- sock2828, on 08/28/2008, -4/+59It does have an uncanny resemblance to City 17
- toughluck2, on 08/28/2008, -4/+44I think the point is more that the environment looks oddly similar to the game. The photoshopping, while crude, is effective enough to make the point.
- paloooz, on 08/29/2008, -0/+37Pick up the can.
- BluesFan, on 08/29/2008, -1/+32Half-Life 3 will look better!
- ianthepetrock, on 08/29/2008, -3/+23You phuck at Sotoshop
- ejan, on 08/29/2008, -0/+20I think its because of the combine soldier and headcrabs.
- OrangeSoda31, on 08/29/2008, -2/+21You sock at potatoshop
- dronkmunk, on 08/29/2008, -0/+17You sunk my battleshop.
- Falldog, on 08/28/2008, -2/+18I like how the first and sixth are the same shots.
- Handonam, on 08/29/2008, -1/+15you just suck
- the8thbit, on 08/29/2008, -0/+13I hear that's fake, though it's still AWESOME.
- Nicoon, on 08/29/2008, -0/+11No.
- oduska, on 08/29/2008, -5/+15http://www.hl3forums.com/hl3.jpg
- Narishma, on 08/29/2008, -0/+9Obviously it's fake. Everyone know the crowbars in half life are red.
- Nicoon, on 08/29/2008, -0/+8I heard you were wrong.

"Half-Life 2: Episode 3 will not be the last Half-Life game" - volacide, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7Here are some much better HL2 Real Life images...

There used to be a ton but I can't find the rest. If you want try and find some more look for Half0-Life 2 and HDR rendering... these call came out before the Source engine got HDR so searches won't be very productive in sorting through them but that's all they were calling them back then. - mlvassallo, on 08/29/2008, -1/+6Games Radar is awful. So very very awful.
- alexanEmpire, on 08/29/2008, -3/+8Burried for sucking. *****...Helen Keller could do this better.
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5The only thing worth seeing in this article is the sexy fan art.
- angrycat, on 08/29/2008, -1/+6Someone doesn't travel very much. It looks like any other eastern european city.
- swanny89, on 08/29/2008, -1/+6If you're talking about episodes 1-3, you're completely wrong. We're still on the Half-Life 2 storyline, valve has Half-Life 3 in the works and we probably won't anything about for another 3 years.
- waluigi14, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Not after the "AR3 guy" from Episode Two killed 10-20 a day with his bare hands.
- Arcotik, on 08/29/2008, -3/+7Too bad that's not exactly the city of Leipzig but rather the suburb closely surrounding it. It doesn't feel at all or look at all like City 17 when you're actually there. As I was.
- the8thbit, on 08/29/2008, -2/+6Wow. For a while I thought the first image was a screen cap from HL2. This really reminded me of how detailed and beautiful Half-Life 2 really was.
- toughluck2, on 08/28/2008, -7/+11You sack at Phataship
- swanny89, on 08/29/2008, -1/+5Unforeseen. Unforeseen consequences.
- misilman, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Fail
- Thyzisen, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4They made this same joke on X Play a few days ago. A crappy photoshop job isn't going to make it funnier.
- BluesFan, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Yes Half-life 3 not episode 3....episode 3 will still be using Source engine.
I say we will see some news on Half-Life 3 in 2 years but the game itself won't hit shelves until mid to late 2011. - twodollars, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Halflife 3: Yay, Portal 2: Yay
Your remark on which is stupid: Nay - reallybigname, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3That's exactly what I was thinking about posting. Yeah, this post is crappy after you've seen real HDR renderings. The guy that I saw do this in a video tutorial took pictures of a real chrome sphere in the space where he wanted to place the object. Then, he took pictures of the sphere from both sides and somehow wrapped those images as a spherical lightmap for the model. Awesome, the best lighting ever.
- sock2828, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3That's true city 17 also looks very similar to St. Petersburg.
- miquonranger031, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Well, seeing as the Hunter is never encountered in City 17...
- IrishJoker, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3well go on then
- twodollars, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Yeah and last I checked Quebec wasn't in Europe either.
- Dgen_X, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2No...this persons sucks at using MS Paint, there is no way this abomination was created with Adobe Photoshop Software...
- BNash577, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Ghetto-tropolis is the best new buzz word I've heard in a while.
- twodollars, on 08/29/2008, -3/+5Wow. Eastern European architecture looking like the Eastern European architecture that City 17 was based off of?
FAR. OUT. - nlight, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2City 17 was designed after Sofia, Bulgaria. One of the lead designers is a bulgarian and he said it is.
Out of HL2 wikia:
"In Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar, City 17 is described as being in an Eastern European setting. Some fans believe City 17 to be Sofia, Bulgaria, the hometown of the art director of Half-Life 2, Viktor Antonov. This is based on both City 17's general resemblance to Sofia and the frequent appearance of Bulgarian words (written in Cyrillic characters) on signs and graffiti throughout the game (although some of these are words in other Slavic languages as well). One clear example is "цимент" ("cement") written across the top of a large building in Ravenholm - the only language that spells the word in this way, using the Cyrillic alphabet, is Bulgarian. Furthermore, near the beginning of the game a newspaper entitled "Работническо Дело" (Rabotnichesko Delo) can be seen - this was the most popular newspaper in Bulgaria during its Communist period. Hints of the city containing elements of cities from the Baltics or Baltic countries is also evident with the presence of signs reading "Café Baltic." - DanBoodro, on 08/29/2008, -2/+4While yes indeed it is, check out some of this kid's work. It's absolutely stunning.

He's got A LOT more roaming around the internet. Just do a Google search for Nick Bertke - Striss, on 08/29/2008, -2/+4You sank my jengaship
- wooFmeoWoinK, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3Please, everyone knows that City 17 is actually based on the future Ghetto-tropolis of Cletroit.
- oneoverzero, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2scarwars, then you think that the person who made this http://www.bertmonroy.com/fineart/text/fineart_dam ... was not an artist?
- wizzroom, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3i think you meant to post this here instead:
http://failblog.org - moomeep, on 08/29/2008, -1/+2leipzig isn't an eastern european city.
- miquonranger031, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1I'm just going by what Gabe Newell said: that it was, technically spearking, Helf-Life 3. But if you want to blame the founder of the company, go ahead.
