Just a PSA for any half life fans living under a rock. Black Mesa is on steam and it's a full HL1 remake on the Source engine.
In these times it's worth mentioning it's a proper remake, too
The levels' layout and some sequences are totally changed
And there's entire new chapters towards the end
You forgot about white mesa. It’s a remake of opposing force.
The devs for black mesa are incredible, they even released a great free mod on black mesa's workshop that allows you to play a completely remade version of HL1's blue shift
i love Black mesa but you gotta mention it's a fan reimagining (tho it made with love and reverence to the original source)
But the Xen, is it finished yet?
Half-Life 2 is like a 20 year old gift that just keeps on giving.
Half-life 2, boring-life 2 more like. Absolute boring crap.
Yeah, now you get mods that mine other people bitcoins, at least, you can only presume from how poorly it runs lol.
Yeah.. it gives Crap over 20 years.
It was boring, this is boring, idk... Tech was good, it was realistic and creative in parts but ultimately boring.
@@gorillagroddgaming Back to 4chan
I am 23 years old and I played half life 2 for the first time in my life last weak. One of the best games I have ever played. The game feels like a part of me now. Thank you god.
Back to the Future
Best advice I can give you son - Always use a gutted version of windows (AME Wizard or similar) to run games or Linux because MS will steal your private personal data. ( although there are at least 1000 popular games according to Proton DB that says they will NOT run on Linux. ) Just Know Microsoft is illegally stealing from you and using your data to make them more money and the very corrupt US government allows this because politicians get kickbacks.. oh and btw.. not Only are ALL you Major video game companies highly corrupt All of your US government is too! They are in bed together.
welcome to our ranks. It is safer here.
I played it for the first time earlier this year, I know the feeling
Welcome to the club !
if this game came out today...
"half life 2 isn't diverse enough, not a single purple haired character that's why we give it a 5/10"
- IGN
probably I dunno
TBF HL2 could have a done with a more diverse enemy roster.
well you could say the combine are non binary
Gabe is too busy counting stacks of Benjamin’s to worry about HL3
That ending to the video.... LMAO 🤣, I agree we need Half Life 3.
No.. we Don't. It's Been 20 Freaking Years. If boy toy Gabe didn't get his crap in order in the first 10 years it's never going to happen. The guy is a literal megalomaniacal monopolist. He has run Steam into the ground the point no self respecting gamer will buy from them choosing GOG instead which is Not much of a better move. Both companies should be disbanded. Edit - Oh.. some people Still use Steam? LOL Suckers all get exactly the screwing you deserve.
The story, the gameplay the immersion .Half-life 2 is like the closest you can get to a perfect game. Im rly excited about the rtx mod.
There's also Blue Shift releasing this month , from the guys at HECU collective, a Black Mesa mod. Looks pretty dope
Episode 5 of 8, not the full remake yet.
Releasing this month you say.. and NO.. the Black Mesa guys are Not the same team recreating Blue Shift.
@@DivergentDroid I think you misunderstood their comment. They said it's from HECU collective, not Crowbar Collective. And it is indeed a Black Mesa mod.
It's 20yrs since Half-Life 2 came out! Feel old yet?
I'm close to 60 and I am going to 'kick some bubblegum and chew some ass' again, and play this game yet another time 😁
40 here. Never.
No I was in my 30's when I first played it. After 30 Everything is way downhill. For every 10 years you live you lose major vital function. Nothing you can do about it, it's a consequence of the 2nd law of thermodynamics and the law of entropy. I don't feel old because of the cheesy video game. I feel old because entropy is a thing you cannot ignore.
HL was far more iconic - to us oldies - as it was truly groundbreaking for the time. Or so my mind is telling me. HL2 defo built on the first, though, can't deny!
In related news; Sony triple AAA walking movie simulators could also be known as Projector Borealis as well.
The last part... Chef's kiss... HE COULD BE A MILLIONAIRE! If only he knew :P
Free remaster DLC for a 20 year old game? Only Valve can be this based.
Son - Define your use of the word Based with an Real Actual definition - You Cannot because it Has NONE - It's Slang! Did you know the term as you are using it came from an appreciation of getting high on crack? Look it up. Stop using words you 1) do Not know the real meaning of and 2) that is admitted Slang and NOT actual Proper English! So you just said, "Only Valve can give me this feeling as good as doing crack!" - That is Literally what you just said because of your IGNORANCE - Gen Z - Stop using this very Bad slang term because it makes you look Stupid!
Imagine if we actually get an Half life 3. And when he's asked in interviews why he finally decided to make it. Gabe says because Mack asked him to.... Oh we can all dream! A Half life 2 remake will definitely do for now though.
HL3 seems pretty real with all the data mining people have been doing.
@thedeegee1601 It's a nice thought.
That would be 3 awesome bits, but we all know that 2 is the absolute limit in Valves universe.
Waahahaha just replayed Ravenholm in HL2 last week, man what an iconic level. Obviously using only the gravity gun.
Imagine being 55 and you didn't play either game until last year! I was instantly ticked off there was still no 3 (yes, I know most of you have been waiting nigh on 2 decades but I was busy raising kids then)! Out of the tons of games Ive played, mostly newer games, HL is still in my top 5.
I thought I read leaks they might be working on 3
mack you never disapoint bless you .. great news indeed
The OG orange box is still giving 20 years later.
I think half life 2 is my most replayed game of all time. With this rtx mod, looks like I'll be playing it again.
You should try Entropy Zero 2 if you not already, really good mod.
Best protagonist too. Loved all the one liners and references.
Played that earlier this year, can indeed highly recommend it, same with Minerva Metastasis, Year Long Alarm and Downfall.
Mac, you also missed the currently in development remake of Blue Shift by HECU. And for those that missed it, Black Mesa, a remake of the original Half Life, that's already on Steam. Definitely a must for HL fans.
3:33 sadly Valve is too busy making another moba live service slop.
Trump and Elon have started development of HL3. They've got a lot of good people working on it. People are already saying they've never seen anything like it.
props to this guy for doing this. what an amazing and tasteful addition
The neat thing about the RTX Remix is that the team working on it is created FROM the community of modders. We’ve always dreamt of what if passionate fan modders could get the assist they need from the developer directly to make the game better, and now here we are! So excited for this to set a new precedence in cooperation.
Same with the Tomb Raider 1-3 Remasters, put actual high profile modders on it and you're getting the right product.
Gabe has no financial incentive to do anything Half Life, Steam is raking in the cash every single second
Also for the VR users there's a free Half Life 2 VR mod available on Steam
Queue the "wHy iS it NoT tHiRd PeRSon?!" Tards
If a game is first person, there are 3rd person mods. If a game is 3rd person, there are first person mods.
Do not berate them, pity them. They are unable to recognize peak.
It's a Valve cannot into 3 joke meme tho
Oh damn that is great news. Looking forward to jumping back to it
This is amazing news, Mack. Good lord I miss Half-Life. Mind you, I think I just miss the days when games were made properly.
Thanks for the update Mack ❤🎉
That ending, lol.
Mack, I'm not sure a 2080 is going to cut it for HL2 RTX!
It won't.
Started playing Fear 2 again Mack. Bloody great game. Those were the good old days.
vladik brutal feels a little bit like a hl2 mod. It has that rough around the edges feel about it yet still has enjoyable gunplay.
been watching the progress this for couple years
Mac: "It runs like shit apparently but I was running it in 1080p...you can see the frame rate in the top left. "
50fps in 1080 is absolutely diabolical for a 20 year old game.
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer its a new unreal engine 5 game bro
@slopedarmor that's even worse lmao!
What were they thinking?
Mack, you need to play Half Life 2 in VR as well as Half Life Alyx.
Half-Life Alyx was stunning, graphically. 🤤🤤
He reviewed Alyx when it came out. Surprised he hasn't done a video on that game's mod scene.
He can do that. It's called First Person View. No need for expensive garbage headsets that put you into a unsecure situation in your home. Have you Not Seen the videos of people using VR that got robbed or killed because they had those damn things on? It looks like Crap, it causes you to use Way more PC resources. Not worth it at all.
@@DivergentDroid Fitting bot take.
@@DivergentDroid So they're so immersive people haven't noticed people coming into their homes, but the graphics aren't as good as a pancake game on the same system, so not worth it?
I've been watching this channel for years now and I do have to say. Thank you for all your unbiased, straight forward reviews of these games. If you're ever in Florida, I owe you a steak on me :D Thanks and keep on blessing us.
Can they make the protagonists a they and give the g man purple hair. The right they in the diverse place can make all the difference in world
I'm stoked for Borealis as it's based off two other Episode 3 projects that sadly died over the past couple years. They still have a LOT to do as it's a bit rough around the edges but damn, is it a good first impression. They definitely set the demo in Ravenholm much like the OG Half-Life 2 demo from 20 years back!
“You can see the frame rate at the top left”.
Mac, are you a troll or do you expect us to have binoculars?!
Maxed out with a i7-11700 and 4070 Ti on 1920x1200 the lowest i got was 72 FPS, with DLSS Quality. It's really really poorly optimized. I get better FPS in Fortnite with Lumen + Nanite which is open world.
@@thedeegee1601 And graphically it looks like it came out a long ass time ago, I'm getting real tired of every dev using Unreal Engine 5 and then the game runs like shit, holy hell stop using that god damn engine if you have no idea what you're doing with it.
Imagine if the game used the latest source engine, it'd look the same and you would be getting double the fps but nah lets keep using Unreal Engine 5 guys and not have a single clue how to properly optimise for it.
Just for those who can't see, his frame rate is around 46-52fps. I consider that unplayable lol.
@@Damsbo1337 are you blind or what?
2:53 you've turned the bearded guy to be an IGN-shill :D perfect cut
Was playing SiN and thinking about Half Life today.
Ah the good old forgotten PC Shooter.
I finished Reqium last week and SiN is also on my list.
The nostalgia is strong with half life. It's baffling how we keep getting crap when there's a half life universe to draw from. Half life 3 day will be a bounty for PC parts suppliers.
I love the little angry outbursts
Meh, nothing burgers. I was hoping for some HL3 news.
There are already profs of a half-life game upcoming, but no one knows when or how far they are. They released half-life alyx as a test i have heard on the code breaker and analyzing channels on youtube. They even manage to load some of the models of the breaks or whatever its called
Here is a third piece of great HL news. The Blue Shift remake Black Mesa mod will be released in a few days.
Not the full remake yet, they'll release Chapter 5 (out of 8). This inludes the first 4 as well ofcourse, but not the entire game has been reimagined yet.
@@thedeegee1601 Oh, I see.
>level I did not know
>all new
WHAT
Mac when half life 2 RTX comes out don't you dare complain about not been able to run it on your 2080 😂
HL2 currently free on Steam until Monday
Still waiting for that Half Life: Opposing Force remake.
Man, this is great and all, but I was really hoping for news regarding Half-Life 3.
Better than nothing, I guess.
Hey Mack, will you review Stalker 2 Heart of Chernobyl?? I really wanna know if its worth a buy.
Have you ever played the Half Life 2 VR mod? It's amazing and changes the experience entirely.
There are also Quake RTX and Quake II RTX, both are worth checking out.
Half-Life: Ray Traced by Sultim is fantastic as well, and a RTX 2060 can run it at 60 FPS with DLSS Quality.
Serious Sam, Half-Life, DOOM and DOOM 2 also have ray/path tracing mods.
Going to be giving half life 2 a go for the first time for sure when that comes out
ring the bell, doctor mackerson.....ring...the....bell.
as for the HL2 RTX....you wont be happy with your current rig with that, mack. PORTAL RTX / CP77 runs like a banthas backside with raytracing on my system and i got a 14th generation CPU and a 3070. i think RTX will not be a thing much longer, it never really worked imho.
Mack for the part of Gordon in the HL movie!
Anybody else cry when they think how long it has been since HL2 actually came out and how old they are now? 😂
I loved Half Life but HL2 was such an epic experience back then. Make HL3 happen!
We can't stop winning.
getting hl2 remaster/remix before episode 3 :D?
Brian Butterfield "The results have been incredible."
Valve: ya ya, RTX? we can do that.
-3
Valve: NO
I always prefer Half Life 1. I really like Black Mesa and I used to play it at my grandad's house. Massive dollop of nostalgia.
2:54 it's gonna be awesome if they've got a wizard working on it 😺
Please review hunt down the freeman....you will need several bells ¬_¬
Mac for Half-Life 3 the game must be so damn good it breaks the internet.
It will cause a bunch of people to spam Half-Life 3 everywhere, in every way:
HALF-LIFE 3 IS HERE.
When the game releases the president of the USA has to be briefed about it, because the internet went crazy and the president will ask: What the hell is Half-Life 3.
I can't tell he's being sarcastic or not
I wish RTX Remix could be applied to all my old games. It might defeat the point of game companies remastering some games too.
Same - I want Sonic 1-3&Knuckles fully path traced.
@@-T--T- Only one emulator sort of works and Sega ain't one of them. Think games between 2000 and 2005.
Hey Mack, would love to see you cover the HL2 20th anniversary update
you should've said the bad news when it comes to every half life news: NO HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED
Mac have you played the Blue Shift mod for Black Mesa? It really took me back too!
How is it that a small group of great dedicated players can give us incredible mods and new worlds... Yet massive 50 to 100+ person teams taking 5 years or more and millions of £/$ turn out $hite that require 3 or more patches just to stop the f@@king thing crashing.. Why.. Just WHY??
Thank you to all the modders and creators the world over.. Know you are loved and appreciated.. Never stop doing what you do ❤
Did you miss the part where Mac is struggling to get a solid 50fps playing at 1080p?
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer No.. I didnt miss that, but how is that different from alot of the cr@p AAA day one releases.. some of them cant can only hit 30 fps
@@NightOrchids because this one has 20 year old graphics lmfao
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer so do most AAA games
@@NightOrchidscope lol
Ooo, post credits 🥳
The whole Half-Life series os better than at least 5 years of modern gaming we have had.
Im hoping for some X-Ray Vision in HL2RTX
I don't know what to think about Project Borealis.
It was supposed to be a fan interpretation of Half Life 2 Episode 3 after the story leak, but then they went radio silent for 5 years and now they came back with "Hey, here's a short Ravenholm section"
I don't know if it's actually going to be a part of the actual main game, or if they spent more dev time making something that isn't gonna show up in the game...
The actual demo itself looked amazing but the gameplay felt a little clunky compared to the original HL2. Like all the weapon animations, headbobbing and the camera shaking when getting attacked by enemies and such all felt very janky and not at all timed correctly.
Obviously I want the full game to be amazing, but the demo just made me... confused. Not hopeful or lowered expectations, just confused about the whole thing.
They've been making that for 5 years and only have a janky demo that barely runs to show for it?
Lol.
Nice, I never played Half-life 2, because it looked so outdated to me. But ill def try this
20 years since Half-Life 2 guys, still no game has come close this single player FPS. I'm twice as old now, time's running out, will I live to see that game?
You see this is a Great Tactic that works .. Mostly. Come out with One Thing then Promise the Next thing over 20 years.. people will keep following even though Nothing is produced. This is how the US Govershite fooled Americans with the Moon landing hoax.
Re-enforced chair XD
If they are remaking HL2 you can be sure it's in preparation for an announcement for HL3.
wished they had aiming down the sights on the guns in HL2.
Ya know i probably spent 6 to 8 hours jetskiing through tunnels and such. I jjust got bored and and never went back... what did i do wrong? I tried to like it. i really did.
Thank you for the NEWS!
Mack... you do realize that you need a 4090 to run that with any semblance of performance?
Nah. So many options these days with AI image reconstruction, frame generation mods etc. There'll be a way.
@@grahamt19781Remix is full path tracing, it's very demanding. I'm willing to bet 4070 Super on 1080p with DLSS.
@@grahamt19781 Ray reconstruction only works on 40 series, and frame generation makes input latency worse. So you cannot use it to make a non-acceptable fps into an acceptable one. Only on metrics, not actual gameplay. It is widely recommended that you only use FG on 60fps+. So, he has no Ray reconstruction on his 2080 nore can he use FG to boost it above 60, since that tech was never intended to be used for that.
It was funny because he was struggling to run this game at 60fps in 1080. Always have to pmsl when he talks about games looking good and he's basically playing them on a mobile phone.
@@The_Noticer. Not sure why you're mentioning RR but you're wrong, it doesn't just work on 40 series cards. Frame generation works on anything with the right tool or mod too. Input lag is exaggerated and isn't even noticeable on a high refresh display. Plenty of upscaling options for all too.
Imagine if they stopped doing all these side quests and just got on with HL3...
Love any excuse to revisit HL2
Oh great a rehash of HL2 when it's been years since... WAIT WHAT?.. IT'S FREE DLC HOLY SH....
You can't wait? Your 2080 might cry though bud?
The 1st time i played HL1 I knew it was gonna be good when i seen the walking robot thing in the green waste when I was on the train ride in. How about yunnz when did yunnz think it was gonna be good?
have you played vladik brutal yet mac?
Please make another vid when the rtx mod drops! Im playing black mesa rn to get ready and dont wanna miss it when it comes out!
Also: why are we being given half-life stuff now? Is Hallf-Life 3 right around a couple of corners?
Gabe has had modern developers pitching him crap ideas for HL3 for two decades; I'm glad he's waiting for the right vision for the game.
I think it's more a jump in some technology that they are waiting for rather than the story, something that gets them super excited. So VR was one thing but they knew the uptake for VR isnt huge so didnt make the jump and developed Alyx instead of HL3. I think if they properly add in AI NPC's and the new AI super realistic post processing volume tech that's just being showcased will we see them start proper development on HL3.
@@gladiatorscoops4907 Proper AI for NPCs is going to be the first real leap in technology since havoc physics came out. Let's hope someone is working on a serious implementation of it beyond just doing chatbot stuff, which has been in games since the 90s to no avail.
U5 where games go to stutter and run like dog crap. If no one ever played HL2 Mod Snowdrop, it is a must play amazing campaign. And if you didnt play Portal revolution(mod) that came out this yr, it is also a must play. Wonder if they are going to release Source2 with next HH update.
play Zephon, just came out.
Wow, I might actually have to upgrade from my 1060 😅
I've been following this for a while, but suspected it was someone trolling. Maybe not. Entropy Zero is also good.
Every failing company: Let's remaster old games and sell them
Valve: Here's a free remaster of the game you already own
Well, it's not made by Valve exactly. It's made by a team of 100 contributers from the Half-Life modding scene.
@@thedeegee1601 Fair enough, at least they allow it which is still something other companies usually won't
