The PS2 version also has its exclusive deathmatch maps and they were pretty fun. Later on, they were ported to the pc version.

The ps2 version actually has models that were never ported to the pc version such as the health machine. It also has expanded parts in some levels such as the hazard course It also natively supports mouse and keyboard through the ps2s usb port And on a ps2 magazine demo disc (57) they ported uplink u put in a code in half life and it would open the cd tray for the demo disc and u could play uplink Someone also has ported blueshift to the ps2 and is working on opposing force In my opinion ps2 half life is the best way to play the game

playing through it on a real ps2/sony trinitron CRT now, it generally runs well, sometimes hitting 60fps but dipping down to what feels like 30 or so when the combat gets really hectic and theres a lot of npc's and effects on screen at once. Definitely still a ton of fun, they honestly nailed the controls in my opinion, especially compared to how bad some fps games from that era feel to play easily one of my favorite pc to ps2 ports

One thing I always thought was clever was that the game gave you the slow motion cheat before playing the game by hiding it in the manual. In conjunction with a cheat hotkey button you could essentially use max payne bullet time to make up for having to use an analog stick.

I owned this along with a PS2 slim. A fun novelty really. Perhaps I didn't respect it enough but I didn't realize the work that went into it.

Crazy that a game that came out in 1998 was able to run on a console that came out in 2000

Fantastic Mr. Fox reference ❤❤❤

Great video, love these history lessons.

I really like the healing pod.

It's super impressive that a Dreamcast version was shifted to a console notoriously hard to develop for like the PS2... only problem is that the port was done by Gearbox. I don't want any of greasy Randy's games in my fuckin house, shit makes me feel sick

Got half life fir my PS2. And it's one of many things that make me say" man, God has really blessed me."

Would be interesting to see if this gets released now on PS4, PS5 because of the new PS2 emulator, which is much better than the prior one Sony used.

Great video!

I'm looking forward to the half life decay single player whenever it is completed. You should talk about the demo that's on Steam.

Fun fact: The PS2 version runs amazing under AetherSX2 and with a good Android device + a gyro controller, it's a very low friction way of playing Half-Life closer to it's original form. Still looks good with widescreen patch too imo, especially on a phone.

The PS2 and Dreamcast versions were in development at the same time. It was pretty well established even before the Dreamcast port was canceled that the PS2 port would have been the more impressive version.

This is how i got into half life and at the time not knowing it was a pc game until watching a g4 channel 😂

honestly playing this on a modded ps2 really wants me to get a physical copy

rad haz jumpscare

Now on to the Port of Half Life 2 for Xbox. That is easily the worst ever.

I think the Dreamcast port is more impressive on a technical level. It was never officially released but its out there and i played it back then on my Dreamcast

Half life 2 on the original Xbox was equally impressive. It should NOT have ran on that hardware.

This could have been Sonys Halo..

Cool video, but I already know what the PlayStation 2 and Half-Life are.
