Man, hard to believe Half-Life 6 is already out.
its only demo😢
Stupid its 3
@@Good-pw2cnit's a joke. Of course, it's three, but there have been a dozen fan games that look like they could have been made by Valve themselves. Some examples include Black Mesa and Entropy Zero 2
@@Sunnycanoe87743I’m not joking
yeah i used to think that they couldnt count to the numbers divisible by three too!
the fluffy snowcrab better have an animation that shakes off excess snow when it waddles from outside into a building that has a roof
I second this!
This!
That would be sooooo cute.
it was good, but everyone doesn't have powerful PCs, I generally went through the prologue with 30fas on low settings and liked the prologue so much
It's so surreal to see that update 6 is real
PROJECT BOREALIS!? AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, AT THIS TIME OF THE WEEK, RELEASING TODAY!?
"Yees"
@@danielsmithproductions may I see it?
@@arcticridge
Mm no
aurora borealis too
@@arcticridge yes!
"After 5 years in developmnet, hopefully it would've been worth the wait" XD
worth the weight
Honestly, It had been so long since i saw an update, That i thought it was just another Dead project.
Last video proved me wrong. Tho i do agree. I hope that the wait will be worth it!!
@@MvZiCMaN ikr, so much has happened in that period 😄. Besides, seing other HL fan projects either being cancelled or going radio silent made me think that PB has the same fate. But glad they are back
@@Max-hn5tc Currently downloading the Prologue level. Just that being available has sparked my Excitement again! Really cant wait for more in the HL universe!
@MvZiCMaN Good luck :) I have bad internet, so I'll try it tomorrow
It wasn't just the wind
You came here often
It was, man. But that wind carried change.
Wishing the team best of luck for the future.
MAN I WAS STILL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WHEN THIS STARTED AND NOW IM AT UNIVERSITY! LET'S GOOOOOO
Will be ready in your retirement so you can play as much as you like
"hey Gordon its me barney from black mesa" ah moment
Hey gordon from half-life its me barney from black mesa in half-life
Dynamic ropes that interact with one another and objects they are attached to is just jaw dropping.
Huge congrats! Working in a volunteer modding project myself, I just know the insurmountable effort it must have taken from everyone on the team to get this demo ready and stable enough for public play.
I am certain you guys will be able carry this full project all the way to the finish line. Keep on keeping on my friends!
I liked when Father Grigori said: "There is no rest in Ravenholm. Move on and I will meet you at the borealis! "
Seeing this in my sub box gave me nostalgia :D
hi lucia
Now you can make a video about it :D
WORD
The load times are not a lie.
The save system literally just plonks you back onto the map where you saved without a hitch..
Impressive work guys!
I remember I got the first half life demo from a free CD on a magazine around 1995-1996. Me and my friends were so obsessed with the demo and re played over and over, then, the full game came out and we finished so many times i lost count, after that I got the orange box that included all the other versions Half-Life: Opposing Force, Blue Shift and Deadmatch, all this was way before the Steam store existed. Sadly i lost all my physical copies. Now I have all the digital collection on my account including HL2 and episodes, including lost coast. Been following Project Borealis since day 1. Congratulations team, I cant wait to try this and for the full game!!
Damn with these you could just get the digital version by using the cd-key
*Half-Life: Day One*
*Release date(s) Fall 1998*
now, this is cool
PROJECT PEAKREALIS IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
The demo is immaculate. The way you guys got it so close to feeling like Source is astounding. The keybinds (loved that pressing both G and Z is implemented), main menu, settings UI, everything.
One nitpick/suggestion is for more of a reaction when shooting zombies with the shotgun. Maybe more gun muzzle flash and more blood particles, can’t put my finger on what would make it punchier.
I wish I had more, I got a taste of it and now I’m dying
from what i can tell, they dont have an animator on their team ( or at least not for the weapons), which is why theyre hiring new animators
Shaking the camera would definitely make it punchier
I don't know if some people realize just how impressive those rope physics are
I nearly came into tears knowing this is still alive.
Ot's not only alive but already has a playable prolog?!
omg. starting Steam
This was incredible to see. I had thought Borealis to be a defunct effort but silence doesn't always mean absence, you guys are simply amazing for still having been truckin along all this time, super mega massive props.
Guys, you are doing the great job. Please don't give up.
I appreciate the sound design jumpscare
Thanks for all your hard work.
Hard work 😂😂
@@username-o4d do you think it's easy?
@@woosh_hunter import assets from hl2 to ue5 wasn't easy. That's why devs have spent 7 years on it.
The development looks complicated and responsible. It is clear that the team has put a lot of effort into it. I really hope that everything will work out for you and the world will be filled with a great game!
BEFORE HALF LIFE 3 AND GTA 6 !!!!
Crazy world we live in.
I'm starting to hope GTA 6 is a trash woke pile of garbage and everyone stops talking about it shortly after it's release.
GTA has done NOTHING new really since GTA 3. They added the tiniest little additions each game. Their BIGGEST jump was in GTA 4 with Euphoria, but then they just toned it down and made it less realistic in GTA 5.
Valve deserves the praise Rockstar gets. Valve is the TRUE innovators of the gaming industry, Rockstar became another cash grabbing DEI hire case like all the rest of the old school companies that NOW SUCK.
Feeeeeck GTA!!
@jimmypeeps8471
I don't understand how people use woke as a negative trait. It literally means being 'awake' to political issues.
@@jimmypeeps8471 Sry man gta beeen woke since san andreas i mean u play a black man thats so woke /s
@@jimmypeeps8471"nothing new" bruhhh....
This has drastically improved my day
Was such a good blast from the past to play some classic inspired Half-Life 2 gameplay and graphics! The references to the Borealis's reality warping effects was a cool visual treat! Looking forward to when this game is truly complete!
It looks great! One thing that stands out is the first person pistol positioning and animation, it looks off. I'd love to see that get another pass to make it look more natural.
Congratulations on the release Icebreaker. Can't wait to see more!
Played the tech demo. Loved it. I can't wait to see what ya'll been cooking.
Thank you guys for making this! This is awesome!
Great! The weapon animations still look a bit stiff and unnatural, but apart from that, everything you've shown seemed great.
I’m actually so excited now. After playing it for the first time in 2017 it quickly became my favourite game series. I’ve always been hoping ever since that for another one and we’re finally getting it!
Just played it through twice. It was cool. You guys are close on making it feel like half life 2. I got stuck the first time in that last closed in room. Excited to play the full version upon completion.
Man, neither the project nor the hype ever died, this is incredible.
Seeing Marc's vision for the end of the series come to life like this is just surreal, we'll be getting the closest thing to the HL3 we were meant to get !
For example, Black mesa took several years to complete.... i just want to say keep it up. 🥳
I played the demo with my 7 yo. son today, he loves the hairy headcrabs 😎
Thank you
I just want to say, congrats to the Devs on getting this far. I know it might not seem like much, but with how long we've waited for some kind of 3rd installment, official or fanmade, and having seen many people attempt to create an EP3 game but either fall short or have to cancel for one reason or another before the public can even get a taste of a playable demo in any way, the very fact that PB has gotten this far is impressive on it's own. So congrats on sticking with it this far and giving the public a taste of what your vision of a Half-Life 3/Episode 3 would be. Major props and I hope the team will continue this project for however long it takes.
And the demo from what I've seen looks good too, visually stunning with some pretty good physics. Only time will tell how well the gameplay and, important to me, game-feel will be down the road. But from the demo the team is off to a good start. Hopefully things will fall into place over the next few years. Till then we will be patient and digilent as the team continues development on this game.
TY again, and hopefully:
"I'll see you, up ahead..."
I better see the 7hr war when the borealis warps through time.
- Mom... I want HL3.
- We have HL3 at home
This is more like Half-Life 2 Episode 3. HL3 will never be made.
@@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462 yeah hl3 will never be made except it is being made right now with numerous leaks from reputable sources

It's here, finally.
Am I the only one who's impressed by the rope physics? 🤣I don't think I've seen that in a game before
See you in another 7 years
This is so cool! I haven't heard of this project before now, so I can't wait to follow further development.
Yo pause 3:16 - propeller powered Lada on skies. Combination I never knew I needed, and I want it.
Bless you all for continuing with this project. I am an original HL2 player since the demo in 2004 so imagine how I feel about this project.
The concept arts looks gorgeous freeman ❤
Sooo glad to have you back!!!❤
I've waited so long for this. Thank you for all the work you're putting in to this.
I also just noticed the hidden 3 in the Borealis logo.
What an awesome game. Well done
Thank you for your hard work on Project Borealis!
holy fucking shit
A snowmobile from Zaporozhets is cool! I drove such a car and even without tracks ZAZ successfully passes difficult terrain :)
What a time to be alive. We're back to business, HL folks!
Absolutely fantastic work so far, i truly wish to help you guys out as much as possible in anything that needs artistic or design work!
I love the ropes and the snow, the project looks really exciting!
I love that you guys recreated the Source UI too
I just played it its so fireeee
Espero con ansias :3 Todos los que se quejan, son gente que no tiene idea de cómo se hace nada y además que esto es un proyecto gratis. Como si no tuvieran vida personal o que trabajar de otra cosa para vivir.
I am so happy to see that the project is still going strong.
Amazing job so far, guys! I loved the demo.
I'm an experienced game developer and I absolutely love the saga, i'd love to contribute to the project.
My only actual complaint is the viewmodels feeling kind of cramped and maybe the enemy animations feeling a bit outdated, otherwise this looks phenomenal! Scenes like 2:35 looks crazy
Just played it, Man fucking well done super excited!!!!
Prologue is like 5 mins long. has 4 weapons (gravity gun, pistol, shotgun, crowbar) and 2 enemy types ( headcrabs and regular zombies)
Some recreation of the classic props, sawblades paint bucket etc, and some new environmenal art. But its soo short and condensed, don't expect an actual demo, its more like teaser than anything else
It is TECH demo
@@lynrayy that is mentioned nowhere lmao.
@@agall664 It is obvious lol
Freakin amazing. Will download it in the next days in my free time
THIS IS UE?!?!?! THE GAMEPLAY FELT SO FAITHFUL TO SOURCE DUDE WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
they even added Accelerated Backwards Hopping
keep going! thanks to you for the prologue..i see...this is awesome! keep going X2 for the better!))
Thank you for making our dreams come true
Im blown away and so so happy that this is alive
You guys made me fear for this project with the absense of Updates, thanks freeman you guys are in full steam ahead
This is incredible, you are impressive, dont fall plis, you are the warriors for us.
Thank you for the update, and the work you do
The snow doesn’t deform for me at all. (AMD)
Man, I'm excited to see this! I love when things work out.
Fantastic update! Thank you for the hard work!
At some point, I really thought that the project was dead. I'm glad to see that you keep pursuing the dream!
Wow. Given the time gap between the last update and this one, I thought the project had been abandoned. Re-excited.
i played the prologue but hopefully the optimization will improve because out of all the games i can run on high graphics, on this one i must put everything on low and use 50% rendering quality to make the most of it to get enough frames and quality
Try enabling FSR3 with the slider pulled all the way to the left & Frame interpolation. That made a night & day difference for me
Can you be explicit about your experience with frame rates? Because it's not uncommon these days to hear people saying their machine is "struggling" and that a game is "not optimized" when they are getting a stable 90+ fps.
In my opinion, it's to the point where any commentary on performance and optimisation without explicit data cannot be considered legitimate. So many reviews that I see, if the player didn't have an FPS counter they would never know that the game isn't running at 400fps. Yet, because they see a 96 instead of 378 during an intense moment in the corner of their screen it "ruins" their experience even though the actual difference in frame rate is imperceptible to the human eye.
Are you dropping below 60? Below 30? On different graphics settings?
@@sockpastarock7082 kinda side nitpick but the difference isn’t necessarily “imperceptible”, people have different levels of sensitivity, personally I can clearly differentiate anything up to 120ish without thinking about it (and higher if I’m really trying to notice it), but I know it’s different for other people
Idk it just annoys me when people just refuse to believe that it isn’t the same for everyone and assume if they can’t see/feel (feel via input lag) the difference no-one can
@@Arakus99 it's not perceptible to over 95% of humans. It's definitely not enough to spend several minutes of a review criticising "performance issues" when it is, at most, a minor nitpick. This is something I keep seeing in reviews and it's really annoying to hear the reviewer talk about something so irrelevant and trash an otherwise great game. I don't think it is valid to say that a game runs "poorly" if it never goes below 60fps, in my opinion but most reviewers will trash a game if they ever see 90fps
@@sockpastarock7082 i agree. i have a 5 5600x and a 1080 super, i tried playing around with the settings for best experience while keeping the quality coherent. usual settings i would put on a half life game would be everything set to high, but this one uses unreal engine so i had to lower it, but no matter how low i went, it didn't matter until i tweaked the rendering quality setting. i can have everything on max but doesnt lag until that setting is below 30%. the best results i can get is like 24 fps with 50% rendering quality and everything set to low. i can run many games with high graphics like gta 5, minecraft, team fortress 2 but i can understand this is still a work in progress so hopefully the graphics will be optimized later on
The demo is great! Definitely got the same creepy vibes that Ravenholm gave me in the original game (I could play a whole game just in that town). One thing the developers should note is I would get 1-2 second pauses where everything continued rendering, npcs were happy to take advantage, but my input would not be processed at all. Not sure if this is a common occurrence. Contact me if you want specifics of my setup.
Great demo! Thanks for all the hard work going into this.
HOLY SHIT WE'RE BACK
Intro music was so good... I got goosebumps!
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS I LAY DORMANT...
oh hey project borealis update
You guys made a wonderful job recreating the Source Engine in Unreal, if that makes sense.
The prologue really felt like I was playing a modern HL2.
And it was so fun to see the updated assets. There is so much passion in this project, keep up the good work!
like frozen cryo-coffin finally cracked and muffled 'Welcome to the H E V Mark II' comes out
Holy hell! Incredible work you're doing here!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for your help in improving Project Borealis.
What a comeback! Godspeed, guys!
amazing work, thx for all and the future ♥
Finally, thank you for your work!
The concept art shown at the end of the video is very interesting.. specifically the one with the Aperture stuff and what looks like some kind of ship engine room with the bootstrap device going haywire and levitating and pulling objects.. perhaps even this is some sort of Aperture AI that's guarding the portal technology..
Hello, Project Borealis team. I just finished playing the demo.
I'm really glad that this game didn't fall apart. Most of all, the prologue was really, really exciting and I'm totally looking forward to seeing what you guys can do in the future.
It was worth the wait.
Your prologue was so amazing keep up the good work
Yessss!!!, the huge ballsac with 4 legs is potentially going to make an a appearance! The Gonarch has been always been my favorite enemy, Black Mesa did justice, a 3 stage epic fight, hopefully Project B will do it just as well. Also, glad to hear from you guys, and can't wait for the next update in 4 years!
Didnt expect to hear from you, you're awesome
Thank you very much for your work guys!
i thought you guys gave up im glad to see this demo good job
That's so kind of you to have the project available for free
