Interesting, well put together!

EDIT: For anyone who wants even more background info Half-life, in particular Half-life 1 and Half-life 2, I recommend the book called Half-life 2: Raising the Bar.

Raising the bar is a book filled with concept art. Unfortunately, its pretty hard to find a new copy, unless you are willing to spend $100+ dollars. Used ones are still viable at $50+/-.
As far as I know, no books exist based on the game.

u/rThoms · 5 pointsr/gaming

Many of these can be found in this book.

UK prices seem to be around £60 - £150 ($90 - $225), where the highest going price was for a sealed copy.

Might be more results in the US. Hop onto eBay, go to the advanced search, and tick the "completed listings" box as part of your search.

Edit: on Amazon US, the sensible used ones are going for betwen $70 and $190, depending on condition. That doesn't necessarily mean they're actually getting sold at those prices, of course.

> and the bar for what people expect has been raised,

you might say they are... rasing the bar?

u/scswift · 3 pointsr/ValveIndex

If you want a book about the making of Half Life 2 with lots of concept art, there is one already:

Raising the Bar is pretty good, if somewhat difficult to find a hardcopy of.

Have a look at that.
The books called 'Half-Life 2-Raising the bar'

u/justatypo · 2 pointsr/gaming

I effing love that book and I'm glad I got a copy while I still could.

u/Arctem · 2 pointsr/HalfLife

I think this originally appeared in Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar. It only had a short print run, but PDF copies are floating around the web. It's a pretty neat book on the making of HL2.

This is a screenshot of Raising the Bar.

I was going to bitch about people reposting its content and tell people to buy it. But I see the price has gone from around $30 when I bought it to well over $100.

Can't fault anyone for not buying it at that price.

I do believe it was the back up that he broke into. I agree, you'd assume they'd have redundant back ups, but it was compromised in such a way (from the Article I read in 'biography' about Half-Life 2 and it's development, that put it behind schedule.) Also, the code stolen, was then compiled, so there was a pretty decent chunk of it.

EDIT: This is the book Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar

Been there, done that, bought the book.
