Raw 1998 website energy

I hate cookies

It's so sick, even though they're not making games as much anymore, it's awesome that they're still keeping up this passionate, transparent energy. They've always felt like the western PC equivalent of Nintendo to me with how much polish and attention they put into literally everything they do.

At leas they're not as insane about copyright as Nintendo, they just don't license a lot.@@aortaplatinum

They perfected website UIs in the 2000s and then just binned it all

if only microsoft took notes with windows

@@WohaoG yes let's totally replace the uwp winui apps with the old ui, that definitely won't make windows fade into obscurity because of its now abhorrent appearance to consumers (i edited this because i called the old ui win32)

Sierra menu is best menu

well not THAT old@@aiexzs

@@aiexzswhat exactly do you think win32 is???

As long as you don't look at the world's smallest coffee cups.

And the OSHA compliant acid pools and giant spinning death blades.

That's what cool about Half-Life and Deus Ex 2000, they didn't get too out of touch with reality with the games, they maintained lots of elements that are common for the ordinary people today, and just added some sci-fi elements, while other "cyberpunk" games add tons of absurd technology that are there only to make the game feel "futuristic", but it ends up looking stupid.

The documentary covers that, the texture artist took photos of real life areas.

And the endless pit with the inexplicable amount of boxes being carried over it.

Do you have a video that shows how that effect is supposed to look? I have no frame of reference so I don't even know what I've been missing.

Worth noting that the overbright implementation here isn't actually affected by gl_overbright - that still toggles the same broken implementation as before. Instead it's handled at the shader level and the only way to enable/disable it is to toggle gl_use_shaders.

It is indeed a premium time to be a fan, or fanatic, of the seminal video game franchise HλLF-LIFE®. I could not have put it better myself, "G-MAN" from the seminal video game franchise HλLF-LIFE®.

>Implying any time other than the release of Half life 3 is a good time to be a HALF LIFE fan

@@Trome1200it might just be real seeing as how valve has actually been making games again.

Aaaaand thats another month were waiting.

Quite a surprise our benefactors have provided for us

Except for us tf2 fans lol

@Pyrashusband if you no longer enjoy tf2 you can play another game. i personally know that it could be difficult but it was worthwhile

@@voracioussergal9360we still enjoy tf2, we just want it to be given attention by valve

@@Pyrashusband tf2 fans deserve it

​@@Pyrashusband I'm a TF2 fan as well, I don't get the doomer mindset going on. Yeah content updates are sick but the game is fantastic already, the core game is great and there are enough modes and maps that you can switch between them enough to where it never gets boring. I don't get the concept of "an online game is dead once it stops receiving major updates", because an online game can't really die until no one is playing it or the servers shut down. TL;DR it's rad when a game keeps going but we shouldn't expect a free to play game to continue getting huge official updates forever, especially when the game is already good

Reminds me of playing DOS games on my grandparent's computer, which didnt have speakers. Sound effects and music were done entirely through awful beeping noises from the computer itself.

Our PC's speakers broke down mid-playthrough so I played half of the game silent. I dumped the music files and Nihilanth's sounds to my MP3 player to have an idea of how it all sounds, then I'd replay them in my mind as I played.

Sounds eerie as hell

what is wrong with HL2 i played it for the first time 4 months ago and it seemed to work just fine

M-maybe they'll do the same for TF2, h-haha...

@@Thatsme1ogan HL2 in 2023 works fine, but it's a similar situation to where Halo 1&2 were on PC with Gearbox & Vista ports breaking visuals and subtle behaviours (before 343 fixed 95% of issues with MCC on steam). Valve with the episodic releases and other Source engine game releases and updates broke over the years in 2006-2009, especially the 2013 steampipe update, saw a ton of stuff lost in the shuffle. - Did you know that launch 2004 version of Half-Life 2 had NPCs like Metrocops visibly flinch from every single pistol or SMG bullet hit? They've done some minor fixes where they do flinch again in 2023, but it's like first shot then maybe every 5 shots or 5 second cooldown before they'll flinch again from a hit. - Metrocops also used to crouch and cover their head, yelling "grenade!" with every grenade that landed near them, but now in 2023 it's very inconsistent, the behaviour is still lurking somewhere in the code, but rarely triggered. - Valve did a lot of shader tweaks over the years, abandoning old methods to do shaders for phong shading, but it resulting in many shaders still being kind of broken or way too muted today, like Metrocops had shiny highlights on their uniforms & boots, the AR2 was very shiny like it was made from the same material as the Combine metal structures, but nowadays it's just very matte and dull, also throughout levels there are shaders here and there that are broken or missing, metal pipes, some other terrain, a ton. - Other stuff, like fog, particle effects, have also been broken/lost in engine "upgrades" and never properly restored to their 2004 glory. Some Grass is also broken at times in maps, and also some baked shadows here and there look broken in the 2023 version. - Sound effects too! Did you know in 2004 Manhacks & Scanners had unique metal hit impact sounds to differentiate them from just other generic metal props? So that you could instantly hear that you hit an enemy manhack instead of some static metal pipe behind them. (there are other subtle sound differences, footsteps on different surfaces can sound really broken in the modern source engine version) To be fair to Valve, someone there was tasked with making HL2 work on the Steam Deck between 2020-2022, and they fixed some stuff, like ragdolls were absolutely criminally broken between 2009-2021, Like enemies you shot just slumped over like they had no bones and no force/momentum was applied to them from the killing blow, but someone did finally after over a decade fix it whilst making HL2 compatible with the Deck, also NPC eye blinking was finally fixed after a decade of it being broken, same with APC & gunship turrets being broken. So some stuff has been fixed in the last 2-3 years, but more remains, and one can only hope that with the 20th anniversary coming up next year, Valve will sit down and let people experience HL2 as it felt to play in 2004 (flinching is a big one for me as people often complain of how bad the combat feels in HL2, when it was better than it is now)

@nathane5287 well hopefully they do fix those one question, tho I haven't played HL2 VR, but does that also have the same issues ? Also, i just hope that it is also fixed in HL2 RTX even tho i can't run rtx on my laptop because I can't afford a computer 😢

@@Thatsme1ogan Most of these things aren't and will not be properly fixed in mods like the VR mod or RTX mod until Valve also update the SDKs with fixes-- There have been mods attempting to hackily work around these and many more issues (like MMOD has it's own hacky workarounds for some stuff), but the SDK can be limiting as well. Now I haven't played the VR version so I can't speak for it, but I do know from many other HL2 mods that they are just stuck with issues the SDKs have as well until they get patches.

This! This is what I would like to see developers do instead of all these cash in 'remasters' and remakes... Just go back and modernise the original game so it works properly on modern machines!

It took the modders so long to fix SA2 because they were too busy making the Chao Garden better

@@Tinlion09 SA2 has always been a damn masterpiece in comparison to how bad SA1 got fucked. Adventure 2's worst port issues were sound mixing, lighting in a couple areas, and sometimes the analog grind leaning, but that was it. Contrasted with SA1's batshit insane port-of-a-port-of-a-port-of-a-port issues carrying over each previous shitty port's new bugs into the next release until the Steam version was absolutely FUCKED, which in turn tanked the perception of SA1 for YEARS when in reality it was a revolutionary and very stable 1998 release that just got shit on over and over for 15 years by it's cheap, lazy publisher.

I think they're already out there

Thats why I really liked the Quake II remaster, they let you play earlier builds and the E3 demo level

Such a wild thought. An update for a 25 year old game that contains elements introduced in one of its offspring.

I know, it's been a while since I've hated myself enough to try to play through Xen to the ending, but I don't think there were any Black Mesa facilities or anything in OG Xen, not even a teleport pad or anything where they send you in from Black Mesa.

@@aortaplatinum Finding Black Mesa research equipment on Xen was an idea that started to get explored in the HL1 expansion packs, for what it's worth. I'm sure purists will still complain but Black Mesa was just expanding on what Valve and especially Gearbox had already done with Xen.

You sure you're not confusing HL1 with HL1:Source? While I can't speak for how original CD release was I didn't run into any serious issues with HL1 Steam version when I played it 6 years ago.

no. i played it like 5ish months ago and it was completely fine all the way through

​​@arciks11 Half-Life Source is definitely worse off compared to how it was at launch, which wasn't in the best state itself. But GoldSrc Half-Life had a lot of issues introduced in its later updates as well. I am pretty sure the more recent patches before this one fixed more things than what they broke, though.

Outside of zoomers I haven't heard a single person say Half-Life hasn't aged well.

​@@mostverticalproductions4808 The core game is good but the Steam version was pretty long in the tooth. Lots of unexpected issues, some of which are gamebreaking and leave a bad taste for new players. I did a playthrough this last week with the GOTY version on disc with the software renderer, and a lot of those issues weren't present. Obviously I had no idea this was coming up, whew. The most immediate thing you'll notice is the very basic main menu, the WON menu is much more visually appealing BUT it only renders in 640x480 and the 3D renderer restarts when you resume the game, so the Steam version is now definitively better in presentation.

I wonder if software renderer water can be ported into opengl renderer.

@@arciks11 I've seen many ports for it, but never one for the main base game at all. I kind of wish it'd be done at some point...

There are better jump pads in the multiplayer maps, so i think it's more of a design issue than anything with the engine.

Pretty sure this is only for the steam digital version (which is free right now btw)

I bought the physical edition which had a few other games second hand about 10 years ago. I just typed in the code and surprisingly I got the digital copies on steam.😊
