    All these 'demakes' shows me that not only technology advanced, but there was massive leap forward in design and game understanding in general over the years. I mean if modern developers would be stuck with old game engine and old PC's they would still make batter game than it was 20 years ago.

      The Metrocop model was actually taken from another creator because that model was created as a player model for Half-Life 1 back in 2009-2010 for Gamebanana/FPS Banana.
      So technically speaking, the developers of this mod didn't make the Metrocop model.

    @Radiation Hazard Fun fact, when we were doing progress on the project for HL2C, I had made a new helmet model for the metrocop and created a barney variant using the HL1-styled barney head. You can find it on the original PCGamer post when we released the Ravenholm demo.

    • @XanderNiles
      @XanderNiles 2 года назад +1

      But who actually made the Metrocop model? Because the original upload of said model goes back all the way to 2009/2010 in Gamebanana (FPS Banana back then) when it was released as a player model for HL1. The original author wasn't credited in the ModDB page.

    • @securityofficerthefonz5835
      @securityofficerthefonz5835 2 года назад +1

      @@XanderNiles the model for the metrocop was made by the creator of something called "snowball mod". We got permission sometime before I came along because before the Metrocops, we had Barney NPCs guarding the doors. We also had the Alyx model from the creator. As to why they don't show up in credits, most likely because most of the team were working on the demo stuff and just never get the credits finalized. Several people also may have changed their screen names over time so it could also be that. I dont remember who had made the models originally because it's been a while since I'd worked on the project, but it was the first model I'd worked with to make the Barney model to replace the one we had then (master of disguise Barney)

    To me these kinds of projects always feel like they were doomed from the moment of inception, that's why I'm kind of meh for the Black Mesa Classic.
    Don't get me wrong, I love modern games made on old engines. Ion Fury, Aeon: Wrath of Ruin, Arcane Dimensions mod for Quake come to mind as perfect examples of what can be done with old engines when you have a solid vision and modern tools that help you tweak the engine to its absolute limits.
    These demakes however follow the vision you've seen before, but due to limitations of the engine what you're seeing is that vision becoming an incomplete version of itself.

    I really like this demo and would love to see a fully completed version one day, even though that's very unlikely. I also think that if it does get developed further it should look more like the Ravenholm section with low poly models and textures rather than the other sections where a few too many assets were just ported straight from HL2. Like, recreating HL2 in the GoldSrc engine is a pretty odd thing to do, and I can't imagine any reason for doing that other than the sheer curiosity of seeing how you could try to do the things HL2 does in the GoldSrc engine. So why would you, for example, port over the HL2 first person weapon models and animations so that they don't look any different? Why would you keep the HL2 G-Man model when the HL1 model is already there waiting to be used, especially when you've already gone to the effort of replacing Barney with the HL1 model? I know this is just an unpolished demo from years ago but it still annoys me as those things go directly against the spirit of the project.

    Hah! I figured it was SoHL when I saw the gravity gun gameplay with the sawblades. It manages all that with a complicated entity based vector math system that you need to do on a map to map basis.
    For a modified modbase boasting really promising features I wonder why there aren't that many mods that do end up using those features. In fact, it supposedly supports 3D skyboxes! Yet as you see in the video this mod doesn't use it.

    Realistically if you wanted to recreate every level in HL2 you could use the HL2 engine but import all of your low quality textures and sfx and largely stick to the limits of Goldsource where possible

    A GoldSrc HL2 on PS2 or Dreamcast would've been so cool! There's some mods for those versions of the game, so I wonder if it would be possible to convert this mod for PS2/DC (if it relies on script extenders, likely not).
