This mod is really special, because its ever so popular an idea, but ever so backseat of a passion for most modern gamers once they play it. I think the true potential hasnt been reached because a certain tweaking and perfectionism cant be reached until all the elements are made, and that isnt the case in any public release so far. Time and patience my pets, I've got it have you?

The game hasn't gone gold, and I personally think it hasn't proven or distinguished itself yet. And the team (as the GE:S team) hasn't made anything earlier to rely on. At the moment it's HL2 DM with some new maps and skins. I can certainly see the potential in this project, and I know all of the forum goers can. I believe you when you say that the mod will reach new heights with the next release, but the general public doesn't know what to expect, other than it's a remake of that good ol' classic N64 game and that the mod was announced three years ago. Personally, I still think you're the underdogs, and that the mod still has to prove itself, but maybe that's only me romanticizing. If you don't think so, don't pay attention to what I said about the mod "coming up", it really doesn't matter. What I wanted to talk about was PR. Even if the name by itself and "word of mouth" get people to play it, you could still use better PR.

Ryan [Saiz]:
Ya we could release a bunch of pointless pictures of props like every other mod. Our media releases are when we feel that we have enough clean finished work to present that is big not small like a random model here and there. Sharp took over the PR position from xanatos as well.

Loafie, Hero of Dreams:
Here's a prop I made for Temple if it makes you feel better <3

Jonathan [Spider]:
here's a new view model hand


OMGZXZZ leaks

we do need really solid PR, i agree, if someone wants to jump up to that position and proves themselves to be responsible to help out Sharp with organization and writing we are more than willing to listen to a pitch. Xantos left some big shoes to fill hehe. nothing is stopping anyone in our community from going out there and drumming up support for us. (its a great way to get into the team if you get some real noise made haha)

i totally get everyone concern with wanting the mod to be big, we want it to be big too, its just that keeping PR up and keeping the mod on track is really hard, when we do a PR release the whole team has to organize around that, and take our eyes off of production for a bit. and when we are on our way to getting this thing out the door, that's not something i want everyone to be doing really often.

Dr.No its better that GES is full of people who are passionate and crazy about making the game, rather than being full of a bunch of dudes who love to hear the roar of a crowd every time we release a picture of a prop. i know that PR is important, and can help everyone on the team and the community at large, but right now its not at the foreground for the team. when the game is done we will try to media blitz as best we can, and hopefully we have a great game that people love to talk about and word spreads about how fun it is. because our past 2 releases we had quite a big buzz around them, but the game was sort of a flop on gameplay, i would rather have a bad ass game and a small number of people playing at first that will grow, rather than a big number in the beginning that turns into hardly anyone playing 1 month later.

Strangly... I do feal better  ;D !

Hey guys I have an idea. Why just not wait for the release? God damnit, we are able to wait!!! Stop crying and let the developpers work, that's all. And when the beta 3 will come out, we are all gonna be happy.
That's it. Nothing more to say.
