One thing I think the original Xen doesn't get enough credit for is looking genuinely, incomprehensibly alien, like it's not even a coherent pocket of spacetime.
I might be alone in this, but out of all the things I find the most remarkable in the Xen remake is the very alien plant life. Most authors/artists dedicate hours to alien people and alien animals; few manage to create alien flora that isn't just glowing fungus. I'd watch a podcast about what was the dev team's inspiration for that Xen biome alone.
@@stalwartarjuna Yeah I feel like the plant life in the Xen remake is absolutely stellar. As much as I dislike Black Mesa's overall aesthetic, they knocked Xen out of the park.
@@stalwartarjuna I'll confess, I think it draws a little too much from sea life and coral at times, but yeah, it's pretty incredible broadly speaking. Just a fantastic diversity in flora and geology that keeps changing throughout, and really enforces why I loved Half-Life's alien designs over so many others. It's also cool to think that nothing in Xen was native to Xen-it's all a collage of displaced species that have competed and adapted to each other and this strange environment, the Vortigaunt-Nihilanth society included. We kinda see this idea showcased most prominently in Half-Life Alyx-as only the most extremely invasive species could have survived on Xen, we see that they really grow out of control on Earth; Headcrabs, Antlions, Leeches, and the countless growths of the Quarantine Zone.
@@CunningCondor Then learn. Dude's awesome. He's not one of those creators where you're around just for one particular series. All of his content is amazing.
I love how the NPC's have some dialogues from Half-Life 2 only with other voice actor. Example: reloaded Dr. Freeman!, D o n t f o r g e t t o r e l o a d
31:09 "Notice: Your noticing of this new notice has been noted, and any continuing participation in noticing new notices will be noted and be reported to the notable authorities." Wtf
Everyday I pray that Operation: Black Mesa doesn’t end up in development hell or cancelled Edit: Also kinda bummed that he didn’t find the Dr. Horn secret in Surface Tension
How is it that the new take on Xen instills that "seeing the open world for the first time" feeling even though it's still fairly linear? I guess the enviroment design and the visual scale of it all is just that awe dropping.
honestly i think these guys should go ahead and give half life 2 the same treatment. i think it would be amazing to have all of those old assets updated
"By the way, you should've taken a vacation yesterday." Nah, given how fucked the world gets after the Resonance Cascade, I'd say that man got the better option.
The Xen flora in Half Life: Alyx feels more reminiscent of this version of Xen than the original. If I had to guess I''d say Valve let themselves be inspired, at least a bit, from the original Black Mesa Xen reveal from 2018
As someone who has no nostalgia for Freeman's Mind (I did not know it was a thing until today) I just wanna say that, while I am happy that the references are tickling the pickling of those who do love it, I did come here to watch Vinny, not to watch Freeman's Mind.

Give it about 4 years for them to catch up on streams.
Watching Vinny put on a traffic cone live in VR was a highlight of the year. I've missed Valve.
