    In this video, I take a look at a new mod called 2002 Beta Aesthetics. It aims to change the visuals of the game to that of the 2002-era of Half-Life 2's development. Basically, a little bit of dark and gritty, and a little bit of light and pretty.
    Let me know in the comments if you find this style of video format interesting. If this video gets 3 likes, I will chug one gallon of milk live on camera.

    Great Video Rad! ALSO I want to point out that the reason why the citadel was so shiny is due to the lighting being Baked into the texture itself (They put the lighting in the texture itself) which is why it’s so shiny and the lighting doesn’t change on it. I don’t know why valve did this BUT someone recently did a version of this citadel without all the baked lighting on gamebanana and it looks legit! But yeah that’s about it. That’s your Daily Bogi Fun fact of the day ( GUITAR RIFF)

    i remember playing "Half-Life 2 Beta-Aesthetics 3.0" last year. it's decent and actually give me this weird déjà vu moment. where i felt like two realities are merging and we somehow got retail and the beta as the final product. i definitely recommend it for people who are already familiar with the series and want to just see how will the beta work when it got more HL2 DNA in it.

    Hello Radiation Hazard, took me a while to make this mod but I plan to change this up a bit because a lot of this is still currently using 2003 and 2001 Aesthetics Textures. As you mentioned with the city textures being disproportionate. I'm glad you reviewed my mod. I'm as siked as ever that you have reviewed this. I'm planning to get Sgt. Stacker to voice Odell in this mod and he also sent me the map files so I can editing the lighting, which I will get to and edit the lighting to capture the overhaul you were mentioning. And most of the credits are actually stored on the "Credits" text file packed in the mod if you were looking for the credits for your music.
    I could also start working on a Hyper Aesthetics mod. Solely based on 1999-2000 and Concept stuff. Since you suggested that I think it'd be a great idea if I could pull it off lol

    A few months ago, I modified all the HL2 music tracks with your songs, a good part of your album Half-Life 2000, and some of your other albums, and used it together with the 2001 Beta Aesthetics, and it just combined perfectly, I didn't do this as a Mod, it was just for myself, and unfortunately I haven't been saving anymore. You make very good songs, I really like your work on them, and they fit well with the atmosphere of HL2, and especially Beta.

  • @halflifeassassin
    @halflifeassassin 9 месяцев назад +3

    I believe the creator did credit you for the music if I'm not mistaken. He packed a "credits" text file that contains more credits than what is on the Gamebanana page, there is a soundtrack section in the credits that features multiple people.

    Seems like a very scripted video, yes, yes. Also, I do like the Civil Protection models, they are just nice.
    Also, for anyone wondering, the "XCCR" sign is actually Cyrillic for "ХССГ" which would transliterate to "HSSG".
    11:43
    Minor correction: it is actually an MP5k. The K of course meaning Kurz or "short" in English.
    What I find most interesting about this video is just how much knowledge about the HL2 beta you have off the top of your head.
    14:04
    Genuinely, not remembering it was yours I thought "that is some pretty good music choice". So, uhh, good job!
    Also, since this is a live reaction you would not have seen this, but the credits folder does actually credit you for the music.
