- A remaster... except not what anyone was expecting
Half-Life: Source is a "remaster" of half life in the source engine, except it's quite a bad one. There are so many little bugs, and big changes that affect fundamental stuff with the original game. Yes the source engine does some good things, but the way it's made in the source engine, adds more bugs that outshine the good parts. Half-Life Source is a bad remaster... change my mind.

"Half-Life: The definitive edition"
LMFAOOOOOO
@@connorgolsong290 He mocks the gta remastered since it's nothing but glitchy broken cash grab.
Funny, but at least Valve didn't remove the previous version of HL1 available for purchase on Steam.
Rockstar? Yeah...
At least Half life source is better than the GTA Definitive edition
Half life: cubemap edition
Half-Life: Source was not the first Source engine game released. That honor belongs to Counter-Strike: Source, released early as part of a beta period. HL:S was also not released in June of 2004. It was released on November 16, 2004, the same day as Half-Life 2.
It is bad, though.
Hello marphy
Slow updates made it better. Half Life 2 was also just as bad as it is due to the early engine

Hi Maprh
I still remember being blown away by Half Life 1 as a child. A friend who was a bit older though wasn't impressed saying like if this is a shooter, where are the guns? Because a large part of the begining you had no weapons just story telling. Yes the game was really ahead of its time and did things very different.
@r33mote "Realistic Weapons"
**SPAS-12 double-blasts with Alt-Fire**
**MP5 doesn't even need to reload the grenade launcher**
**The pure existence of the Tau Cannon and Gluon Gun**
...I don't think Half-Life even had realistic weapons, because it doesn't.
Compared to something like Quake or Duke Nukem 3D, yes Half Life’s weapons were realistic at the time
There are two kinds of childs. Those who can appriciate things and those who make Luigi noises when they don`t get what their thinking they gonna get.
The rule works for adults too but most of them just buy the things they want. Those who buy shit and then cry about it are the worst out of the four.
@@KlazGuy The weapons in HL1 haven't been a "simulation" of course! But they felt a lot more grounded to what you had in previous shoters. They have been for the most part recogniseable, as machinepistol, handgun, shotgun (spas) and so on.

Half life : Source was my introduction to Half - Life :)
I played it pre steampipe and I quite enjoyed it. I did noticed the scientist seat chair glitch lol... But that was about it.
HL:Source isn't even a Remaster, it's just a really poorly made port
I never got past the "first" guard at the elevator.. because he dident recon that I had the HEV. Suit on
Lol, I remember actually playing this instead of the original HL1 when I was like 6, and then mistakenly assuming that THIS was what the actual game was about. The worst introduction to HL series ever.
"I don't remember playing this."
Steam: LAST PLAYED TODAY
So bad, it got you forgetting its existence immediately after 8 hours of gameplay
omg that HD model pack! Tell me I am not the only one who suffers from missing reloading sound! Even some mod can't even fix this. If this version adds achievements system, it could have been saved for a little bit
3:57 , small detail, that that tank never turns it's turret in any version. Unless mine was broken.
I was actually thinking of getting a drink, and then you say to grab a drink for the mentions of cons of half life source, so I did. Thanks!
"that guard, he's not out of place, HE'S FUCKING INVINSIBLE" *red sun over paradise*
Worst bug IMO is that music doesnt persist past level transitions.... which is usually a few seconds after they start. So soundtrack is completely ruined.
A lot of Half-Life: Source's issues come from updates made to the Source Engine after the release of the game. This is because Half-Life: Source is actually running as a Half-Life 2 mod.
Half-Life: Source was less of a remaster, but more of a showcase how easy it is to port Goldsource games to the new Source engine.
"i dont remember playing this..." also the last played today next to the play button:
The only reason I have HL:S so I can just mess it up in Gmod
I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that since half life source runs on the source engine it gets all updates made to the source engine, which breaks the game in various spots since half life source itself isn’t being updated.
The good news is that since it runs on source it’s compatible with Garry’s mod and thus you can play it in vr, if you ever wanted to for some reason. It’s actually the only reason that the amazing comedy web series half life be but the Al is self aware was able to be made.
Source was good at the time of launch. It did have better ai and all that but then the devs stopped caring about half life source and stopped updating half life source when a new patch for the engine came out. Now we have this. At least it was the inspiration for Black Mesa.
Lamwarp: Huh.... Half life source....I don't remember playing this!
Steam: Last played: Today
He has really bad memory.....
At least mod ,, Half-life source fixed" makes this port even better
4:38 was funnier than it was supposed to be lol
When I first played half life recently I played standard half life not realising that source was an upgrade. I’m glad I didn’t play it I guess
I have no idea so many bugs existed. Apparently the copy I illegally downloaded was a very stable build/version of this game and I only had a few non game breaking bugs happen. Still this was a disaster, I'm sorry for anyone who bought it...
"Half-Life: Source? I don't remember playing this."
Him: *has 8 hours in the game*
to think I didn't play the original for many years because I thought this newer version would be better...
lemme change your mind number 1 the gman squad was made with half life source number 2 most multi player with the classic not the one made by another company number 3 you can only have a sandbox on half life source because source maps go to gmod too for some reason so its not bad also there is a fixed mod to actualy make it great
I really do not want to change your mind
I thought the first game on Source Endigne was Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Half life source used to work perfectly before, there wasnt much bugs and all. But after the years, the source engine kept getting updates and the game started to break.
NO.
As Richter Overtime said only thanks to HL SOURCE we got an amazing remake like Black Messa and countless amazing machinmas and series using Half Life 1 was a base.
"Half Life Source is a bad remaster..."
Sky blue, says star witness
I prefer HLS because of the episode switcher, better physics, and it running better, but HL1 feels more nostalgic.
thanks for putting subtitles, so non-native english people like me can understand the video, good content
So sad that RUclips deleted ability to add subtitles for anyone. People translated so many videos and Google... just removed that feature.
"I don't remember playing this"
Steam title: "last play: Today" 🌚
I played this version not knowing it was bad
We can't change your mind because 1 quintillion people already disliked this when it was released.
Apparently there's a mod named hl:s fixed that, as the name implies, fixes almost every issues available in the game. After i have that installed, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit and even developed my own language subtitles for it. But yeah valve should have taken care of them instead. Also can't believe i sat for 3 hours straight clearing the game just for subtitles testing purpose.
(ruclips.net/video/RVnlkJ5nGhE/видео.html)
man the hazardous course 2, only beat it once without the cheats. Actually crazy mode.
theres another good thing about half life source half life maps in gmod that makes a reason to buy it
i remember when it came out i thought it wasn't so much a remaster but more an asset port to the new source engine
Literally just Gmod Half-life 1 DLC
It’s the only half life 1 you can play on GMOD
No one needs to change your mind because you are objectively correct…
Half life: source should have just been half life 1 with half life 2 assets and ai. You know, half life, I'm the source engine
And he missed something…. The blood and bullet decals are the same like from half life 2 and good and other source games
I like HL:S because you can go Impulse 101 in C1A0 and make scientists fly with the gauss gun :D

The trauma was so strong that his brain uninstalled HL:Source
No, he just played it while asleep to avoid a pan hit
Fun fact: That "invincible" guard isn't actually invincible. The Tentacle was rendered "harmless", given by the fact that you can almost run through the entire room without getting killed by it
Any npc that comes in it's range is automatically classified as "invincible" :troll emoji:
he said that later in the vid
although he didn't say the gurad isn't invincible, but at least he said the tenticle doesn't harm
there are no grenades to distract it either, which took me years to realize grenades distract it.
Harmless tentacle can't harm you.
@@Immolator772i never wasted/used grenades thinking I'll use them later
Thing is that the HL:Source isn't (or well, wasn't) nearly this broken. As valve kept releasing new updates, the game broke more and more. If you were to downgrade your game to a much older version, the majority of the issues you faced here wouldn't even happen.
Id you'll keep downgrading the game, it will de-evolving, just backwards
So that's why. I don't remember seeing most (if any) of these bugs when I played for the last time many years ago.

@@poleve5409 cry
Explains, I played HL source back in 2016 and thought it was a solid port, and it ran better on my laptop while recording, as compared to the goldsrc version.
Honestly, my favorite thing about _Half-Life: Source_ is the fact that in the cargo room, the boxes suspended on cranes actually _swivel_ when the player nudges them or stands on them. It makes those parts of the game more fun, in my opinion. I also like that the box physics are a bit less… "hyperactive". Good stuff.
Yes it is,but cant be worse than GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition

There seems to be this misconception that HL:S was intended to be a full remaster (which seems to be an issue with how it's marketed on Steam), but Valve just made as an experiment to see what modding the Source engine would be like. I think they just got greedy by selling it instead of making it a free add on for Half Life or something.
@Old Liquid it was packed in with a lot of things. I got it with the GOTY edition of Half-Life 2.
Why would they give it away for free? It's just half life 1 again
@@fish3443 not for free, its if you own the original (or it comes with another game) then you get it for free
We all have to blame Steampipe.
After HL:S got released, it was getting lots of fixes. After they finished patching the game and making it actually good, the Steampipe update came out and got the game back to the broken af version.
Is there any link to download the mentioned version?
we're stuck with HLS: day one edition
Yeah i remember downloading the pirated version everything was running good just like in the original
Yeah bro I love source
@@victorhugofranciscon7899 Just get Half-Life: Source fixed mod on moddb. That fixed every bug, but some pcs still may have residue processing rendering bug, only workaround for fix to disable multicore rendering. You need to own Half-Life Source ofc.

I've always considered that 2D cliffside skybox very nice looking compared to HL:Source's, even though it uses low res images.
I always find 2d skyboxes immersion inducing back in the old days, at least when I was a kid, haven't played Tomb Raider 3 in so long
I think one of the best features, is that, if you have GMOD installed, this game will give you the npc, materials, props, etc.
HL:S was better on release. It was broken, when Valve released "SteamPipe" patch for Steam, that broke every Source based mods and HL:S. But many mods was repaired. But not HL:S.
Also HL:S is not remaster, its just port to the Source Engine

It was never touted as a "remaster" in the first place. It was referred to as a "port" and a "proof of concept." Valve never tried to hide the fact that it wasn't a remake. The glitches didn't become a problem until after the Steam Pipe update either, so I'm guessing all the people I see complaining about it nowadays didn't play it until years after it released. Also, it was released on the same day as Half-Life 2, not before. Personally, I thought it was a solid port. It was just a nice little bonus that came with my copy of Half-Life 2. Never experienced a single issue with it.
The funny thing is, Half Life Source was actually getting good with all the update patches it's getting before the Steampipe update F'd it up, leaving Valve forgetting about it entirely
it broke only after steampipe, if you download the versions earlier, then everything works more or less well there.
I can't help but wonder what issues in this are from the release, and which are from the constant updates to the source engine.
I can tell you that the missing skybox near the mine field is from release and the graphical bugs in the conveyor velt level are due to updates
thing is, hl: source _was_ good source engine port of goldsrc half life, until the steampipe update broke it
we're stuck with day one hl:s, basically
most of it is updates some weird decisions are from the og
Most of these glitches are from the source engine updating over time and creates bugs for old code. The version from 2004 was actually pretty good! I don’t see why someone working at valve doesn’t just spend a couple days just fixing some outdated lines of code and update some object properties and which material a surface acts as, after just that source would be as good as the OG half life visually and mechanically. Also removing that smg recoil would be great
3:18
"And the best thing of all time !!!, You're able to uninstall it. "
😅😅😂😂😂😂👌
0:07 8 Hours playtime. But you Don’t remember?
You know, on one hand, I can understand why Valve didn't really "remaster" much. Everyone was in haste to finish Half-Life 2, especially since they had to rebuild the whole game after the beta was stolen, so the remaster of the first game was put on the low priority. On the other hand tho, if they didn't put much effort in it, why they decided to release it when they did, in a state it was in? They could've release it in 2005, or maybe even in 2006 with the Episode 1, but have it be actually a proper remaster.
But hey, the community's dissatisfaction with HL:S have led to creation of Black Mesa, so at least something good came out of it.
That's just it, the game wasn't this broken when it released.
@@gavinrolls1054 well, apart from the bugs, the issue is that they barely changed anything apart from *some* graphical improvements
Valve didn't rework HL2 because of the beta leak.
And wilson chronicles. I love that mod. It's still in beta state, but it's already pretty good imo
They didn't rework HL2 just because of the leak, in fact when the leak happened in 2003 Valve was already working on modern-day HL2, That's the reason it looks so unfinished and buggy. HL: Source was just a tech demo to see the possibilities of the source engine and if everything could be properly imported. HL:Source just so happened to be released onto Steam as well.
Thumbs up for the people behind Black Mesa Project, they didn't just improve the visuals of the Original Half-Life, they Created a MASTERPIECE. And even if you played Half Life 1 over a hundred times, playing black Mesa for the first time will be completely unique, there's even things added to the game that didn't exist in the original.
Exactly, the even remade Xen from scratch with an improved and extended layout and reimagined boss fights.
@@thathatguy1151 mhm, that's the most mind blowing thing especially since half life 2 has NO Xen content at all...except for the few aliens here and there around earth...

@Old Liquid cut them some slack, its not like they had any help from Valve, they did really good, its a better remaster than Warcraft 3:Reforged, GTA definitive edition, only remaster that competes in quality is Age of empires 1 and 2, they're also for the most part flawless.
would play but no bhop so 0/10 bad game
If this shit was released in 2021 it would be called Half Life: Definitive Edition
I cried when you made a hazardous course 2 reference lmfao that was your funniest video, alongside minimalist one. As for HL:S, frankly I liked it for giving good HL1 source content to be used in Gmod or console to mess around. Also, when they made HD models officially available for it, they were somewhat fitting (unlike HD models in GoldSrc version IMO). I think bugs ruined it the most
I honestly got the feeling they half-assedly ported some of the PS2 models for the HD content in Source. (One telltale sign is the M4 has the MP5's five-point muzzle flash instead of the butterfly flash in GoldSrc.)
Not helping at the moment is the Beretta and M4's reload sounds are missing.
I got Half Life Source back in 2004 and I remember having no issues what so ever. I thought it was actually awesome. Somewhere along the line that update broke the game. Some may say nostalgia classes and I would some what agree. Having ragdoll and better lighting was very cool for me to experience my favorite game at the time with some new bells and whistles.
Hl:source was less buggier when it was released, but with the source engine being constantly updated the game got buggier and buggier
Fun fact about the Residue Processing bug!
That crazy looking crap is actually the maps skybox colliding into the map. Idk why the hell you'd need a skybox for a map all indoors? It just shows how lazy Valve was with this game. The only reason I even have it downloaded is for Gmod.
Disable multicore rendering in video options. That fixes it.
All maps in the Source engine require a skybox, just like Quake.
@@gavinrolls1054 i made maps without skyboxes and source didn't bitch about it
@@g_freakman you might not use one in the level, but there is always one referenced in the bsp in memory, even if never rendered
Its not a skybox
Because I love the Source engine, I decided to end the Half-Life story with Half-Life: Source for the first time. Frankly, there is not much difference other than flashlight and physics.
4:19 and this bug!
Fun fact: The barnacle bug is intentional, in 1997 they used a thing with the barnacle where you have to look up to actually see the tounge
It's not intentional. Sure the barnacle in early versions of Half-Life rapidly lowered its tongue when you got below it, but the final version of the game has the barnacle keeping its tongue lowered at all times unless it caught prey. The barnacles still instantly catch you instead of having a delay. The tongues don't lower when you are below them either.
Andy F. i think it's a joke
@@circleubuntu People have a weird understanding for jokes then. Where's the punchline? Pretty sure he was serious.
3:40
That's actually not a source-specific problem. A lot of games have this bug with shadows for one reason or another
I remember being a dumb kid and not knowing the difference so I think I ultimately played both of them interchangeably and didn't really even notice a difference, only thing that I can faintly remember is when the crowbar made metal clang noise even when breaking crates
2:02 Fun Fact: This scene """doesn't work""" in qualities lower than 720p60.
You are right
That happen because bellow 720p it's 40 fps and in 720p it's 61 fps
To give Half-Life Source some credit, the game wasn't a bug-ridden mess on release and apparently worked fine for a long time, just updates to the Source Engine (primarily the release of SteamPipe) and the game not being maintained with it just made it into the abomination it is today. Patbytes has a couple videos explaining the game's problems in more detail and ways of fixing many of the glaring issues in it, should check him out.
That kinda explains things for me: I'm pretty sure I've only ever played HL:S, never the original, but I know for sure I didn't experience most of the things pointed out in this video. But I also played it back in like 2013 probably.
Half life source is not THAT bad, i'll admit it they did a trash remaster but not Hunt down the freeman levels of crapyness
Nothing is worse than Hunt Down The Freeman... Well, other than a game I'd rather not even mention the name. Just know that the game I'm mentioning exposed many children to very "interesting" content to say the least. I was lucky I didn't get too caught up in it. Other than that, yeah, Hunt Down The Freeman is extremely awful.

5:52 At this moment i legit thought maybe my pc was acting up or the shit was legit haunted
I'm sorry guys but its true. I've played the game and spent 3 dollars on it, one of the worst purchases I made.
Valve likely disbanded their GitHub bug report staff after I guess only 6 years, 2013 to 2019 to be exact, which means that anyone filing bug complaints won't get any solutions for Half-Life Source.
Useless fact: Half Life 2 beta was actually just Gold Source engine, but with physics, after the 2003 leak they finally finished the Source engine, and now we have Source 2, also known as THE 4K bread.
Also Half Life: Source was actually better than Half Life, but the SteamPipe update broke the game... A LOT!
HL:Source is not a remaster, it's just a port with some improvements. Well, it was, back in the days. Later on the engine was updated and many things have broken, such as skyboxes, npc placement and the AI of some enemies. Nobody really play this port, so Valve doesn't do anything with it, thou there's a mod that fixes all the issues of the Source version.
It's store page says it's a remaster, so as an average player, I took it as one.

4:45 Literally Half Life Source can ruin your entire life
I don't know if I am misremembering, but in Apprehension, during the first part where you need to get floating barrels to prop up a platform, the floating barrels are Half Life 2 props, which looked so jarring compared to the low poly look of everything else.
An actual good video on why HLS is terrible. Thank you. Playing the WON version or even Steam version of HL1 is miles better. Black Mesa has it's flaws but damn is it good
04:00 - what you described doesn't really make any sense. What "protection" are you talking about? Headshots ALWAYS dealt more damage in Half-Life 1.
They do, but some of the grunts have helmets, which protect them. The grunts that don't have a helmet, headshots are good. I showed it, shooting the helmet doesn't hurt them, and it shows a bulletproof decal, so you can tell you didn't hurt them.
@@LamWarp Oh, ok.
Dam this is different. I like it i dont get why it was so bad. Counter strike and day of defeat got great source remakes.
honestly Half-Life Source was fine, until the steam pipe update (this is speaking from Personal experience playing Half-Life Source pre-steam pipe update and post-steam pipe update) it was absolutely ok, the steam pipe update broke the game and Valve stopped caring ever since that update. the only thing you can do now is go for a pre-steam pipe version of Half-Life Source for a legitimate unmodded good experience, however if you aren't interested in pirating Half-Life Source, you can just use mods to fix Half-Life Source.
You probably wont see this but, Black Mesa is absolutely AMAZING, better graphics as you know, achievements, Better A.I, Xen actually looks like a real ecosystem now and is very beautiful, and tons of stuff more you HAVE to try it, highly recommend
Half-Life: Source indeed has so many goofs and errors in it. To fix it, there's plenty of mods available on the internet to repair it and make it much better.
Half-Life: Source is such a big mistake. **Change my mind**
HL Source was the reason why Black Mesa exists. I also changed your mind.
"And you're able to uninstall it" truly the sole feature holding all of half life source together
5:27 I've always had that issue in the original unless I stay completely out of the grunt's sight. It's not just HLS.
