Escape from City 17
Posted by Eddy in Gaming News, News on Feb.13, 2009.
Ever wondered what a live action Half Life 2 movie would be like? The dudes from Purchase Brothers want to show you. I’m kind of floored by what they pulled off here. They receive both my kudos and my thumbs up.

Woot! xD nice one! Still TLW is better!

Wow… I’ve waited for something like this :F
February 13th, 2009 on 1:26 pm
Thats just amazing
February 13th, 2009 on 1:40 pm
Wow. Massive :O face- That’s awesome. I can’t imagine how they pulled that all off, suffice to say it must’ve taken months to put it all together. Maybe even longer.

What a few good people can do in there free time. And with a limited budget. Awesome job. They really captured the atmosphere in the final hours of City 17, when people were trying to leave and the combine wanting to put an end to the rebellion.
Can you imagine what they would do if they had more money ? D:

This is a hell of a lot better than some of the professional stuff I’ve seen. I hope to see more of this in the future.

Nice.

sweheheheet
February 13th, 2009 on 3:17 pm
Wow, really well made
February 13th, 2009 on 3:17 pm
That. Is. Absoulety. Awesome.
I want a Half-Life 2 movie now. You know? Like 100 million dollar hollywood action movie! …or something like that.
February 13th, 2009 on 3:17 pm
Look what they did for 500$.
February 13th, 2009 on 3:38 pm
Damn, that’s insane.
Somehow, I feel even Hollywood couldn’t pull this off as well as these guys have. The zombies in the ending looked pretty damn fantastic. If these guys hit it big time, I won’t be surprised one bit.

OMG got to admit ppl, sorry SMF you still rock but Purchase Brothers have done something huge in machinima and home making series. I still belive that you guys are gonna become even better than them and will make things ever greater. But everybody must admit… THAT WAS AMAZING!

This is really cool. I remember when there was still buzz about the late Halo Movie, all links pointed toward this really crappy 10 min action teaser… but this is better, like 20 fold.
February 13th, 2009 on 5:25 pm
This is totally awesome sell they should sell their idea to someone or make a own business and make a real movie. They would probably gain million of dollars!
No offence BUT TWL FTW!!!11111 xD

I think they just did something big in all Half-life fan dude-kind. This really might go to the family tube, or even the big screens.
February 13th, 2009 on 7:05 pm
OMG that was an epic half-life 2 film
props to these guys
February 13th, 2009 on 8:15 pm

February 13th, 2009 on 9:29 pm

February 13th, 2009 on 9:47 pm

i mean the citadel hasn’t collapsed yet….
the background and hl2 characters are epic!!!
they must have a lot of skill with computers
February 13th, 2009 on 10:19 pm
Awesome!!! I was riveted to the screen, looking forward to the follow-ups!
February 13th, 2009 on 10:29 pm
What a great movie…
Good sound effects that were used well, great props and costumes, the camera shaking gave it a great look.
Only thing I found bad was the voice acting.
Overall its an amazing vid
February 13th, 2009 on 11:31 pm
now, that’s what i call EPIC! they really captured the apocalyptic feel of City 17….kudos to them.

It’s a bit strange. Last night, the movie had on youtube around 30K views. This morning, it has around 390K.
WOW

February 14th, 2009 on 8:33 am
This is awesome
Everybody says “Still TLW is better”.
Even Eddy told you, it’s not a competition, stop saying that !!!
AWESOME !!!!
I wouldn’t do this 4 nothing, only 4 money, I have 2nd level
of film production (Medium) know Adobe AE, but this was taken to long to do !!!
February 14th, 2009 on 9:16 am

February 14th, 2009 on 9:25 am
These guys just released a pandemic. Their web site is down!
February 14th, 2009 on 3:28 pm
can’t stop watching!!!! XD
this is soooooo good
wonder if valve will ever find out about these….
February 14th, 2009 on 5:13 pm
They already do dude. They re-tweeted, and even posted it on steam.
February 14th, 2009 on 7:04 pm
I hope they get together and make a full movie for the big screens. Think of the money they would get D:
February 14th, 2009 on 11:57 pm
dudes. this is awesome. It looks like a mix between lord of the rings (cause of the tower), war of the worlds (but more aliens), but with a half-life plot, characters and everything. This is just… epic.
lolz, wut

A friend of mine just sent me this earlier today, and I was thinking of coming over here to post it in the forums- glad to see I’ve been beaten to the punch.
Personally this is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a looooong time! I’m really hoping they go into how they manage to do all of the effects, that’s something I really learn about.
February 15th, 2009 on 12:31 pm
I WANT A HALF-LIFE MOVIE OR TV SERIES OR EPISODE 3 WOULD BE NICE TOO.
February 15th, 2009 on 5:13 pm

February 16th, 2009 on 3:52 am
You might hav to download flash, or if your browsing on firefox you hav to download the plug-in. Then your off to see the awesomeness
February 16th, 2009 on 5:35 pm

February 18th, 2009 on 3:01 pm
I think this film is reaching epic proportions as it was featured on the steam browser today
