|
|
So I just finished playing through HL2 and decided to casually google "Half Life 3" to see what's going on with it these days.
Obviously didn't find HL3 , but it turns out the not-so-new remake of HL1, 'Black Mesa', was released again this weekend, but this time it's complete, with the final Xen levels done too, and looking quite fantastic as well.

Just bought it myself and shall be starting soon
At first I wasn't sure if it'd work on my laptop. Then I remembered it's based on the Source engine, which is almost 15 years old (still looks bloody good to me though!) and HL2 works easily for me so obviously this will as well. |

So I'm about an hour into it.
Obviously still the best game ever (because Half Life), but the new music they've put onto certain parts is properly ruining it for me.
Also it doesn't have quite the same atmosphere as what one would expect from the Source Engine. I think because they've added mist effects all over the place, which I guess is a good thing but... I was hoping to basically be playing HL1 but with HL2 graphics.
I'll probably get used to it soon enough. Not even past the first chapter yet |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 29 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
