I love the new vortigaunt models, especially how they change their feet to be weird hooves to actually have an claws like their hands. I like how their middle hand actually moves. I really like how expressive the faces and how they added an extra little porthole on the side of the head. Only thing that I miss are the big fang sticking out of the mouth. That was just so adorable but I guess they wanted them to be omnivores cuz they have more human teeth now. I also like how they gave them an extra finger for their hands. So instead of two they have three so now they can actually grab things I would love to hear anybody's opinion on what they do and don't like about the new vortegon versus the old vortigan. Just keep it civil
G-Man knew what the extra payload that was inside Magnussen's rocket payload was, (Lamarr, seen here: ruclips.net/video/9WHPGMB0RBo/видео.html ) and checked off the list that would have found that stashed payload (ruclips.net/video/VIdjTtC751Q/видео.html). Magnussen didn't do that because one of the notes written within was something Magnussen admitted was plainly illogical; Magnussen never admits HE is illogical. Lamarr is one of the few entities that have ever been teleported by Kleiner, and happens to weigh about 8.5 pounds, mentioned in the following scene at the top of the elevator. (ruclips.net/video/4Sng1XGnMJU/видео.html) G-Man does not do things for no reason, proven in Black Mesa. He supplied the crystal, forged it's statistics, ensured it's test proceeded regardless of warnings given by the scientists, and ensured that only the RIGHT man in the wrong place makes any difference, guiding people like Shephard and Freeman around; ensuring they don't meet. That payload will attract a second interdimensional empire, who are the G-Man's employers, are also seeking the same teleportation technology created by Black Mesa and Aperture Science, and are at war with the Combine, as demonstrated by the imprisonment of one of their agents. The next Half-Life title (in VR) will feature you playing as a vortigaunt in Xen during Gordon's time in Black Mesa, during which time you will learn -more- frustratingly little about the G-Man's origins, and will end with a cliffhanger revealing the enemy of HL3 (One interdimensional empire in all-out war with another interdimensional empire with Earth as the battlefield; which will take place directly after Eli's "death" (which happened minutes after the detonation). In this vortigaunt title, you will see and interact with your favorite aliens from HL1 mysteriously absent from HL2 AND Alyx; Snarks, Houndeyes (which you can control like antlions), Gonarchs, Grunts, and Boids. Remember that the resonance cascade in HL1 took hours or more until the Combine made it to Earth. Notice how, not once, did you see any of the Combine soldiers throughout your entire time on Xen in HL1, yet it was immediately declared taken over by the G-Man by his employers (who clearly aren't the Combine, proven by the events of HL: Alyx), with the US military and Black Mesa defeated, but then the portal to Xen was shut down with the destruction of Black Mesa by the US military. Notice how many of the creatures in Xen aren't encountered on Earth. The Combine found one source of the resonance cascade (Earth); G-Man's Empire found the other (Xen). Ironically, this empire might have prevented the Seven Hour War, and instead will cause a second one that puts the first one to shame; with both the Combine's presence in the dimension weakened, and their link to extra-dimensional reinforcements cut off, AND with humanity just barely surviving against that empire's onslaught; the sense of desperation in this new VR game (Valve won't be going back to PC, this is what brought them back to HL) should be unrivaled. This speech alludes to a future Half-Life spin-off game (Blue Shift, Alyx, etc) where you play as a vortigaunt, specifically in Xen, the borderworld. ruclips.net/video/t_2hzJq9bws/видео.html The vortigaunts in general are aware of Freeman's lack of control, and can clearly see he's being controlled by someone else (you, the player): "Your bright face obscures your darker mask" "Far distant eyes look out through yours" "How many are there in you?" "Could you but see the eyes inside your own, the minds in your mind" They even seem to be aware of their existence inside the game. "Something secret steers us both" "What seems to you a sacrifice is merely, to us, an oscillation. We do not fear the interval of darkness (dying and loading saves)" Given their subtle 4th wall breaks, I would say it is not unreasonable to assume these quotes insinuate that the vortigaunts will at some point become the player. "We are coterminous" "For a brief time, you joined us, between the worlds (Xen)" "We are you, Freeman, and you are us"
Since no one gave a solid answer, yes it would have to be s2fm. You can use the new Gman, Gordon, and Vortigaunt models in the original SFM, but they look very different since S2FM and SFM have different rendering models.
Well this was a very unexpected surprise. It makes me really happy to see that you decided at least this once to do a SFM short, those skills improved just like fine wine. I also missed those good messages in the end. Good luck with your future in the music business, you are a superb artist!
valve when covid was peaking: "we must move, quickly, there are those to seek to stop this" *shows source 2 and S2FM to HLA and youtubers* "i offer you a gift, take it, it will give you strength"
It's a rare mix for beautiful music to be mixed with masterpiece of visuals. And touch your soul with mixed known/unkown emotions Now I can watch the visuals And listen to your music whenever, wherever I want!
The attention to detail in the facial expressions, like Freeman's when straining to pull the crowbar out and G-Man's when smacked in the nose with a crowbar; and the incredible transition at 1:29 was chilling, absolutely Valve-quality work. I know you'll probably never see this, but if I could make a suggestion: The scene at 1:05 was probably the most "out-of-place", or perhaps unrealistic? scene. If you were to make the vortigaunt's upper body get pulled back with Freeman's weight, with his arms flailing up as if falling, I think it would have made the scene much smoother.
I love how when you see some animations they feel more like older basic SFM but when you see specific animators like Mecha for example you can't help but feel genuinely proud of how far SFM2 has come. (Wait, holy shit I'm getting major deja vu from writing this, is this the guy who made that old train flick from a while back?)
We're in the afterlife now boys
love you
This is what purgatory looks like
the end doesnt seem so bad
What happens to your original plan of retiring from SFM videos, from months ago?
Your awesome
This is a blessing, thank you for this
hi
truly a video to witness once in a lifetime
Yeah its propably the best half life meme video not made by You :3

Soo glad that Valve actually made a full Gordon model for Half-Life Alyx, it's cool and badass seeing him in SFM animations
You were good son real good! maybe even the best! Amen.

I love the new vortigaunt models, they're so much more active and fluent in their movements and look more realistic than that of half life 2.
I prefer the HL2 Vortigaunts since they seem more... Cute, i respect your opinion though
Ok

0:27 I don't know why but I love this. It seems like a trailer for a coop game that I would definitely play
0:29 - This gives an idea for an unofficial expansion where you control an escaped Vortigaunt that escaped from Nova Prospekt.

@@EvelynKarlin Damn, really had to hit that 500 word limit, huh?
As much as it wasn't animated, Gordon boosted off of the explosion and b-hopped to the vortigaunt in my heart.
Very nice animations you got there :D
Is this SFM Alyx?
Yes, it's in the title
The title say SFM, and not SFM Alyx, those are actualy different
Ok
You mean S2FM?
Since no one gave a solid answer, yes it would have to be s2fm. You can use the new Gman, Gordon, and Vortigaunt models in the original SFM, but they look very different since S2FM and SFM have different rendering models.
This is the leaked opening cutscene for Hunt down the Freeman 2
NOOOO

how the heck did i miss this masterpiece? ITS AMAZING
This was no video. This was an experience.
Its a video
@@jeremy-ws1rb both an experience and video? We are conscious observers in a quantum world. Many possibilities can exist at once.

Keep it up!
God damn,i want these 2 artworks at the end as changing wallpapers. Theyre so nice
It was a really great experience to watch such a smooth animation.
Very creative! The end was the best, thank you!
Man the monkey part has me laughing my ass off. Thank you for this 👏🏻😂
I love how you can now use your own music for your animation.
The attention to detail in the facial expressions, like Freeman's when straining to pull the crowbar out and G-Man's when smacked in the nose with a crowbar; and the incredible transition at 1:29 was chilling, absolutely Valve-quality work.

That was a smart way to advertise
Welcome back buddy
I love how when you see some animations they feel more like older basic SFM but when you see specific animators like Mecha for example you can't help but feel genuinely proud of how far SFM2 has come.
