The video looks awesome. Fuck John Carmack and his "I'm a genius, I'll do it all by myself" attitude. I admit, Carmack is a genius but if I have to choose between one genius programmer and ten really good ones, I'll take the second choice. All the work that's obviously gone in both the technology and the game itself has definetly paid off - id Software's "basement developer" philosophy clearly doesn't work anymore for first-person shooters.
The thing I love most though is the comeback of the old scientist, and of course - the G-Man. Say what you want about Half-Life's ending, but I loved how the G-Man sort of explained the story without giving you the underlying motives for what had happened. Let's hope this gets cleared up in HL2.
"Well, Mr Freeman... Looks like it'll be just like old times." =)
