Half Life thread - Discussions about Valve's FPS magnum opus(es) and any related content (spin offs, expansions and etc)

[30+GameOvers]

YouTuber Pinsplash, notable for his interesting videos showcasing interesting/bizarre bugs in HL2 and having a voice that sounds just like The Constant from Hitman, made a video a few days ago attacking both Entropy: Zero mods in a deeply bitter and bitchy manner. Most of his critiques were nitpicks or attacking small details no one would have ever noticed instead of something more substantial.
Someone re-uploaded it if you want to watch it:

Why was his video taken down? Also, are Half Life content creators this black and apelike usually or just this person specifically?

He deleted it because of the negative response

So, the guy who spend an entire video talking about how no-one is above criticism...thought he was above criticism, or got bullied into deleting the video due to negative criticism.
Yeah, I guess everyone in the community is a large gorilla nigger. Everyone involved in this situation is retarded.

Here's something interesting.

This is also what I meant by if he just stuck to half life facts he would have been a better channel.

I am unable to edit my original post so this will have to do, this came up on my radar, someone managed to get viewmodels working (re-read comments and he says its kind of buggy actually) in vehicles in og hl2 finally, that and we are less than 2 weeks away from hl2s anniversary.

popular episode 3 project project borealis has released a trailer and a demo on Steam the demo is said to be rather short more of a teaser than anything

 

[ArthuriusMartyrius]

Project Borealis is still a thing? I thought they cancelled development years ago.

 

[PunkinMan]

Anniversary is in 2 days.
S&box went public on steam so you can wishlist it now.
Cs2 had an update which shows off valves new wetness layer which allows to show off rain drops on things accurately, including view models.
Crowbar collective, yes the people who made black mesa announced they are making an entirely new game.

Also it seems the update could drop tomorrow, screenshot from an edit 5 hours ago on steamdb

So this big anniversary update is just a glorified HD mod?
lol, lmao even
If Ross can bother to release his first Freeman's Mind episode in like 2 years, I will take that instead.

I feel like all these RTX Remixs just make games look like souless default UE5 projects with a couple of effects turned on, I'm still hoping valve does an update to hl2 aswell it still seems that way.

No, this is unrelated to Valve. They just chose the anniversary to release the page. The game probably won't be out this year and the actual HL2 Anniversary will release soon, whatever it may be.

I like some of new textures, especially the brick and cobblestone surfaces but you can really see the soulless upscaling on the gun models and also the smoke effects when shooting.

probably will run like shit if you don't have the newest nvidia cards

Don't worry, Portal RTX ran like shit even with the newest (at the time) Nvidia cards. This will probably chug on a damn 4090.
