i don't believe expectations. a life experience this part might be not done or something, or they could rip this view but hopefully they make it look good. i'd recommend them to put some light stuff at this part
Imagine coming through this area during the day, then later having to back track through it at night. The Combine have brought in reinforcements; the holes in the walls quickly patched up; the lights of their vertibirds and ground vehicles scattered across the snowy landscape; and seeing it all as you come back down the elevator. A promise of the hectic firefight to come on your way out of there.
That's some great map design right there. Funneling tunnel opening up to a big environment with various path choices leading to a open sandbox and then an elevator where you can see all of what you've been put through.
Holy shit this looks amazing. The sound effects on the other hand could be better, the barrel explosion lacks punch, and the other sound effects just don't suit Half-Life. I'd say it's better to use the old sounds and modify them to sound more high quality if that's what you wanna go for, or have an option in the audio options to toggle the old sound effects from Half-Life 2.
Pretty sure these are just placeholders. If the rest of the work is any indication the sound effects will be up to snuff for the finished version. I hope XD
I don’t think they have the sound of the barrel explosion yet. I mean, it was obvious its absence that it would be dumb for me to leave it like that. So I’m gonna think it’s not ready c:
@@DogsRNice they couldn't do the game if you're Argument is base on this. So many things like the enemies, gravity gun and so on are from halflife, that valve could easily "shut down" the project!
I think the only reason they're using these placeholder sounds is because they don't want to just rip off the sounds from the original games. So they might be making the sounds themselves in time.
@@ryanw1541 Hopefully, Headcrabs, at least will use their very sounds later. It's the only sound that fits them, and nothing else. Same with Barnacles.
Guys I really love the project and I’ve been a big fan of this for a while now. I think this will be a welcome fan game into the community. I don’t really have any criticisms from this gameplay. In fact I think this stays as true to half life as you can get with a mod. I do have a couple of suggestions though. 1: I think the zombies should have different clothing for each one unlike how half life 2 made every zombie wear the same thing. 2: you should have different foot patterns in the snow from the combine. Making it a little easier to track them but they should be able to track you better. 3: if an enemy is shot to the point were there below 25% health they should leave a blood trail In the snow. The less health they have the heavier the blood trail should be. 4: every half life game has its own sets of weapons I think you should stay true to half life 2’s weapons while at the same time adding in your own. Like how your adding the vortex to the gravity gun that’s really cool to me 5: water should do around 3-4 damage every 1-2 seconds outside and when you get out of the water it should do about 1-2 damage every 1-2 seconds for 5 seconds to simulate freezing. 6: add in some Easter eggs but nothing way to out there. 7: houndeyes in snow should blow snow around when the attack causing slight vision blur. 8: add in the H.E.V. helmet as a thing you can find for under water sections if you have any. 9: make regional damage more apparent like a shot to the foot shouldn’t do as much as a shot to the head( I know you already have that I’m just saying make it more apparent if it’s not apparent enough). 10: flares should melt snow around them. 11: ad in realistic fire like if something catches on fire the whole thing shouldn’t be on fire the fire should spread around it until it’s completely consumed in flames. 12: the deeper the snow the less fall damage you should take. 13: almost never use cutscenes like put a limit of 3-4 in the game because I think the most cutscenes half life has ever had was half life 2 ep2 and it only had 3 I believe maybe 4. 14: make the sprint and the flash light completely different uses I don’t understand why in half life 2 your stamina and flash light battery were the same bar. 15: get the GMans voice from the guy In hunt down the freeman. The only good thing was the gmans voice acting in that game and it was amazingly accurate to the game. I love what your doing and how your doing it. And in no way am I saying you have to do these to make the game good. I’m only saying that I think some of these should be added in. And some of them I actually think probably shouldn’t be added for it doesn’t feel half life. I hope you all have an amazing day.
@@deadlocked9399 ok, i hope my i2 4-core, 4gb ram pc runs this. Its bcuz all Unreal Engine games i tried to play stuttered even with the lowest graphical settings, so i hope this don't happen to this one.
my preferences for games is mostly the mechanics, story, soundtracks, voices etc. for me, super amazing graphics isn't something really necessary, i hope everybody understand my point here.
This is the true new Half-Life game. Valve turned it's back on the series and now we have to pick up where they left off. To finish the series after 12 years of waiting. Great work guys, excited to see future updates.
I'm still bitter about modern Valve abandoning its legacy this way and leaving the fanbase in the dark. It's like as if they don't realize how much of a cultural impact the series had on the industry, let alone how it allowed Valve to become what it is today. Shame.
@@C0T0HA I understand your frustration as a fellow Valve fan but it's really important to understand what the situation is like for them internally. They have not "neglected" or forgotten about half life at all. Leaked information that has come to public knowledge over the past few years has confirmed that episode 3 or HL3 (whatever you want to call it) has had at least 4 different iterations in development at different periods of time that were all shelved for one reason or another. The internal situations at Valve are very complex and office politics over there are very tense from what people have heard. While it's immensely dissapointing to have had such a huge content drought from Valve you need to cut them at least a little bit of slack, contrary to popular belief they have not spent the last 10 years twiddling their thumbs and counting dollar bills. Gabe Newell made a statement in an interview a few years that has stuck with me. I'm just paraphrasing here but he essentially said that Valve feel an immense pressure on top of their heads to have the next half life installment be absolutely perfect, the previous games have been considered masterpieces so they cannot afford to drop the ball even in the slightest in order to meet what players expect. This has a massive impact on the development process since Valve don't want to fuck anything up at all. I can't remember the exact timeframe but he talked about this 4-5 years ago iirc and as time goes on that pressure they have on top of them only gets worse. Valve is not lazy, Valve is not ignorant. Their lack of communication and focus on current gaming trends is unfortunate but it's important to not be narrow-minded and view all of this as them not caring about their legacy. A new Half-life game has not come out for one reason and one reason only, it's because it's hard. It's painful to wait but it's the only thing anybody can do.
@@pootisbear appreciate you going into detail, and I've kept my eye on the situation and done my research. That said, here's a few points on why this is not an excuse: - The chase for perfection is a misguided excuse. HL2, being the masterpiece it is, is a deeply flawed game which severely underdelivered compared to its E3 2003 presentation in terms of AI. HL2 lacks in both enemy and weapon variety compared to HL1, making it an inferior shooter, but it has still a superior narrative and interactive world. No HL game is perfect, and they're loved regardless. - The absence of HL3 wouldn't have been such a big issue if there was Episode 3 which offered closure. Episodes 1&2 were hardly revolutionary compared to HL2 so all the fans needed was closure. - There is 0 excuse of the lack of communication after given promises. They just teased and let it slide. Shit happens, we get it. But the fanbase had to actively research WTH was going on, which is what usually has to be gone after a company goes bankrupt. Valve is far from. - Portal 2 had shown they're still well in their power to do great narratives, and I dare say it's Valve's best singleplayer game. - Their latest games show lack of soul. After Portal 2 we've had more TF2 cosmetics, another CS, again cosmetics for CS, a battle royale mode, a MOBA game and a P2W trading card game. On top of this they allow and encourage cross references to HL in other franchises, which is a terrible tease. I'm not one to shout boo and join an angry crowd with torches and pitchforks. I'm just sad about how Valve handled the whole situation. Steam is still the best thing that ever happened to PC gaming for me, but as a game developer Valve are creatively dead in my eyes.
@@cupcakemcsparklebutt9051 Well no, I'm sure the whole community is supporting this project. I doubt they'd want to do it if nobody cared. But of course, they are the true heroes of the story.
Just discovered this by random on RUclips. Took some time to look over your work so far and all the updates. I am incredibly excited to see this completed and I can tell by your passion so far that you won’t let us down. Keep up the good work!
Awesome showcase, amazing music! Looking foward for the future of this project! PS: I really miss the "ecg death sound" of what look likes to be combines! ahahahha
The sound design is very well done. Especially the soundtrack. Though, the explosions sounds like somebody slammed a pillow. But I guess it's better to try & nail down the exact sound that works best with the sound reverb system as you move along with it's design. You know. That exact satisfying and impactful 'UMF', without messing up the sound quality with the reverb. I can only think of your ears ringing or sound dissipation when something explodes indoors in the same room as you. Maybe some extremely harsh wind sounds from the sheer force of the explosion.
most of the sounds used are certainly placeholders ;). Just use a little sound for the explosion atm and then after all the rest of the lvl are coming together, change the placeholder stuff.
Beautiful gameplay, and it does stay very true to the half life playstyle. The map is structured nicely, new, but its still familiar. Also the new mechanics of destroying walls and enemies hiding in snow are a nice touch to the overall elements of the gameplay as well. I know the game will continue to progress in development, but the only thing I will say is this: 1. The textures obviously should be enhanced and render a rundown appearance 2. The bright lighting is a nice change from the darker and more dimly lit half life games, but I would stick to the model of adding that overtone of darkness and obscurity for the most part. 3. The animations may need a little tweaking, notably the shotgun. After you shoot, it seems as if it hasn’t even been rechambered since the animation is so slight. But the other ones look awesome! 4. I feel like the player needs to enter a building in order to trigger any event from the enemy. I would look into adding a little bit more diversity such as enemies rushing out of buildings and taking positions. I would also incorporate reinforcements in some levels too. 5. Be sure to add a problem solving element to the levels. I think there is enjoyment in solving a problem or puzzle like we used to do in half life. Maybe in this level it could be connecting wires or a power source to fix the elevator as it was damaged during conflict. Overall awesome concept and gameplay, but these are just suggestions to aid the game in its development! I’m excited and hope to play a demo of this soon!
Gameplay is looking great! Though it seems like enemy fire is a bit difficult to dodge at the moment, consider reducing AI accuracy, or adding more cover; Other than that, good job, guys!
The new tech looks so damn cool. I haven't been excited about this kind of stuff since the mid 2000s. This is ambitious and am so thankful you folks are doing this. I don't have a pc these days but I'll be keeping up.
@@shpeeva Ну думаю если предложил бы свою помощь, то думаю мои модельки не понравились. Меня переучивать нужно с архитектуры под игровой моделинг. Если такое могут себе разработчики позволить, то буду только рад...
I love the designs on the game really hope for Half-Life 2: Episode 3 to happen. But I just want to give you a few suggestions for the NPCs. Standard Zombies: 1. They should hide in the snow until the player appears, once the player appears. The Standard Zombie pops out and starts attacking you. 2. If the Standard Zombie is going to have shoes or not but skeleton feet, they should have different footstep sounds. 3. If the Host's body starts to die, the Headcrab will detach from the host's body. 4. If the Standard Zombie gets on fire, they will go to recover by going to the snow. 5. If the Host dies along with the Headcrab, the death sound of the Standard Zombie and Headcrab plays together. 6. If they killed an enemy like a citizen, they will use their chest cavity to eat like Half-Life, as you have seen a Headcrab using the host's claws and taking the meat out from the corpse and stuffing it into the host chest cavity. Once they finishing eating, the Host's body becomes stronger and be harder to kill a little. 7. At least some Female Zombies, just make it realistic. You don't really have too. 8. The Headcrab should make idle sounds along with the Standard Zombie idle sounds for example. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Headcrabs ʰᵉᵃᵈʰᵘᵐᵖᵉʳˢ: 1. You should feature 6 eyes on the Headcrab like Half-Life that used to appear. 2. If Headcrabs gets on fire, they will run away to the snow and hide inside to heal. 3. If the Headcrab starts to get on low Hp, they might run away and hide in the snow. 4. If the Headcrab gets shot off the host and remains alive, they either will run away, or attack you. 5. I thought of a idea that the Headcrabs should be able to latch onto NPCs besides killing and not latching onto them. In Half-life 2, Headcrabs kill NPCs by bitting them. Anyways if a Headcrab latches onto a NPC host. The player has to shot the Headcrab off from the host or they will turn into a Standard Zombie soon without the Player knowing. Sorry if I have spelling errors. I have bad grammar something.
Half Life 6 ending A (Good Ending) : Gman evolves into nihilanth and fires advisors at you Ending B (Bad Ending) : You see Lamarr survived evolves into a gonarch and kills you Ending C (Secret Ending) : Gordon tames an advisor and destroys Combine
Boreal Alyph team member and playtester here. BA and PB has no competition going on, we have a very good relationship with each other. We support each other's work in fact!
Too much wub wub wub wub in the soundtrack, it sounds more like a tron type platformer than Half Life. Otherwise, everything else there looks amazing, i'll definitely play this
Unfortunately you have to accept that, Half Life 3 or Project Borealis will lead the story of Portal and Half life together. So the music genre of both will be played.

Though it seems like enemy fire is a bit difficult to dodge at the moment, consider reducing AI accuracy, or adding more cover;
Other than that, good job, guys!

Amazing to see this map! Can Imagine the entire game in final version. Amazing work!
The new tech looks so damn cool. I haven't been excited about this kind of stuff since the mid 2000s. This is ambitious and am so thankful you folks are doing this. I don't have a pc these days but I'll be keeping up.
Demo looks pretty...good
Oh my god.
My name is Wizzi
It's still in development my dude
@@thesupertendent8973 i know..
Demo really looks good,not a joke!
This is just incredible.
Also, is there a way to make blood bleed into the snow?
Loved the destructive wall, the headcrabs hiding in ambush. This has huge potential. Thank you, and we love You for your hard work.
I can’t wait for this to come out! I’m totally gonna play it!! It looks amazing. Please keep up the great work and don’t give up on it!!!
soundtrack sounds more like Portal 2
Because the borealis ship is the aperture science work :D
A aurora borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?
yes.
@@nimfodder no.
@Fatih Sultan Mehmed Hân no
I’m really into game design myself and those physics, especially on glass and snow really blew me away!!! Can’t wait to play!!!
Love every bit of this keep up the amazing work!!!
Снег прям из RDR2. Неплохо на самом деле. Жду. Придется ПК обновлять XD
Как раз проц заказал
La tuya por sí acaso
это будет пилиться ещё лет 5
@@shpeeva Ну думаю если предложил бы свою помощь, то думаю мои модельки не понравились. Меня переучивать нужно с архитектуры под игровой моделинг. Если такое могут себе разработчики позволить, то буду только рад...

I love the designs on the game really hope for Half-Life 2: Episode 3 to happen. But I just want to give you a few suggestions for the NPCs.
Standard Zombies:
1. They should hide in the snow until the player appears, once the player appears. The Standard Zombie pops out and starts attacking you.
2. If the Standard Zombie is going to have shoes or not but skeleton feet, they should have different footstep sounds.
3. If the Host's body starts to die, the Headcrab will detach from the host's body.
4. If the Standard Zombie gets on fire, they will go to recover by going to the snow.
5. If the Host dies along with the Headcrab, the death sound of the Standard Zombie and Headcrab plays together.
6. If they killed an enemy like a citizen, they will use their chest cavity to eat like Half-Life, as you have seen a Headcrab using the host's claws and taking the meat out from the corpse and stuffing it into the host chest cavity. Once they finishing eating, the Host's body becomes stronger and be harder to kill a little.
7. At least some Female Zombies, just make it realistic. You don't really have too.
8. The Headcrab should make idle sounds along with the Standard Zombie idle sounds for example.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Headcrabs ʰᵉᵃᵈʰᵘᵐᵖᵉʳˢ:
1. You should feature 6 eyes on the Headcrab like Half-Life that used to appear.
2. If Headcrabs gets on fire, they will run away to the snow and hide inside to heal.
3. If the Headcrab starts to get on low Hp, they might run away and hide in the snow.
4. If the Headcrab gets shot off the host and remains alive, they either will run away, or attack you.
5. I thought of a idea that the Headcrabs should be able to latch onto NPCs besides killing and not latching onto them. In Half-life 2, Headcrabs kill NPCs by bitting them. Anyways if a Headcrab latches onto a NPC host. The player has to shot the Headcrab off from the host or they will turn into a Standard Zombie soon without the Player knowing.
Sorry if I have spelling errors. I have bad grammar something.
Niceeee
yeah there should be like 30% chance that a zombie is female
Explosions look perfect now! Love this!
I swear to god, I love you guys !!!!!! It will be amazing, cant wait for release. Thanks for all your work !
Borea Alyph + Project Borealis = Half Life 6 confirmed
Half Life 6 ending A (Good Ending) : Gman evolves into nihilanth and fires advisors at you
Ending B (Bad Ending) : You see Lamarr survived evolves into a gonarch and kills you
Ending C (Secret Ending) : Gordon tames an advisor and destroys Combine
Come on guys do not give up so I see this is going very well but personally I don't like much the sound of weapons but they are doing a great job.
:)
Keep up the good work. It's looking amazing so far.
I wish the best for this project... this is beatiful.
Хорошо мой товарищи и друзья!
Must be French combine since they can run backwards in super fast speed.
Omg destructible environments too? Man this looks so awesome. You guys are doing a fantastic job.
Looking forward to the final polished product as I’m sure it’s going to be absolutely amazing
Looks amazing (soundtrack is amazing too)
But I'd be happy to see bigger recoil and faster reloading of shotgun
I'm a 100% pirate, and I promise you when this comes out I am not pirating this. Aight bet.
I LOVE THIS , KEEP GOING , I’ll support you guys with everything that i have !
Everything feels on point!
I though i already dead
Cause i feel i already in heaven watching this video
See, 5 minutes is enough, shows the engine, new mechanics, gameplay, AI...
**13 minute Boreal Alyph video cries in a corner**
but Boreal Alyph did do a similar video that was under 2 minutes before the 13 min one
No need to talk down Boreal Alyph.
Even PB team said they have a good relationship with them.
@@Vantud391 humans and their tribalism SMH
Boreal Alyph team member and playtester here. BA and PB has no competition going on, we have a very good relationship with each other. We support each other's work in fact!
@@mulky6573 hi, can I be Gordon's voice actor? lol
Great music, great mechanics. Looking really good guys
holy shit. this looks great sound track aswell cant wait for this to come out
Is the soundtrack from this video already released? I love it so much
Yes! ruclips.net/video/Pnhe8q7Z1NQ/видео.html
Y'all still making this?
The projects taking form i see. Fantastic
This is going to be fucking awesome when it finally comes out.I love the music sounds stellar .
it looks like just heavily improved "source" engine. Still, im happy to see any kind of half life continuation. Keep up the good work! :)
Nope it's unreal engine 4
I think that was what they were aiming for
Блин,это реально круто.Я как истинный фанат Half life,жду, когда это чудо можно уже будет приобрести.
Не очень скоро она выйдет не меньше 3х лет точно
@@user-op5tz8gy5m я думаю раньше, макстмум года через 2 , ты заметил какого контента за пол года они добавили?
ждем все, все ждем!
I already love the feel of this game. Great job!
Even RUclips was convinced that this is Episode Three! You guys have made such good work that even YT has no idea how else to classify it!
Hl3 Future today!
hl2 ep 3*
If i need pay for this game,
Just take all my money and bank account
So - $5?
The best you can do is donate them now.
4s actually they said it would be free so...
@@Someone-iz8nz wish it's not, they deserve the money
This game will be Free.
KEEP! that music ,it gets in your head so much so after I watched this ,i was hearing it in my head 30mins later,keep it up guys !
This is so beautiful, and its not even finished!
The Shotgun model kinda looks like a mix of the Black Mesa shotgun and the Half-Life 2 shotgun. I like it a lot. Good job!
Fuck it, if Valve ain’t gonna make it then other people can make it.
Excelente trabajo, muy profesional y sobre todo con excelente gameplay sigan así
There definitely needs to be some screenshake when firing weapons. As it is, it looks like a floating camera.
Best of luck with the project!
Too much wub wub wub wub in the soundtrack, it sounds more like a tron type platformer than Half Life. Otherwise, everything else there looks amazing, i'll definitely play this
Unfortunately you have to accept that, Half Life 3 or Project Borealis will lead the story of Portal and Half life together. So the music genre of both will be played.
Borealis is a Ship from Aperture Science.
I disagree, it already sound's perfect with Half-Life.
Holly golly shit, looks gorgeous.. FREEMAN!
Edit: Will the game have gore & dismemberment?
@TheSasGaming He wasn't asking you.
Sooo hyped for this! Looks sick!
Просто офигенно! Продолжайте в том же духе! Вы молодцы!
That was so epic

Christ how did I only just discover this project now?!? I am really excited for this.
As someone who listens to "Kernel Panic" from the OST very frequently, I must say that the way dynamic music works in this level is incredible.
the sound effects are not so nice
agree, but i believe its just place holders.
Holy crap this looks awesome! Glad to see someone picking up valves slack. Can't wait for this to come out
I have to be honest i love the sound effect and gameply looks good even its early gameplay it look good keep it up doing great job
Project Borealis Team looking at the Valve ( I will finish what you started ) Great work guys,you're amazing !
Snow looks really good. Well done guys.
Great job guys, keep it up!
I can't wait for this game, even a DEMO of it :)
I'm gonna make sure to appreciate every second of it.
looking forward to this.
