This comment deserves to be pinned
It's interesting to see how they brought back the darker version of xen. I like how it blends the classic one with the Black Mesa style polish. It makes it feel like Xen is this massive living breathing place with a lot of verity to it's environments.
Right? Like how there are calm zones that attract a lot of wildlife, and then there’s these regions that seem like the fringes and are truly inhospitable.
I got to admit, this is pretty cool especially with this part of xen having a grim atmosphere and you actually being able to destroy the mantas.
First time I've ever seen the Mantas get destroyed by the player.
DARK N GRIDDY
@@automatonm99 Let me guess, you've never played HL: Decay
I love how some of Xen's gnarlier elements were added
Thats how Xen should be. Black Mesa's Xen was beautiful but not otherwordly or creepy enough imo. This feel more like the vision Valve had when making the original.
@@dud5606 Interloper's factory was plenty unsettling with the flesh tubes everywhere
@@dud5606 Xen in Black Mesa feels blue, purple, against HL1's overarching green aesthetic. It is depicted moreso as a flourishing ecosystem rather than a collection of several species in a borderworld.
@@kabeam5643 But bear in mind: Xen is massive
Gordon just happened to land on the most vibrant looking side of Xen, while Barney (as seen above) and the rest of the early survey team explored another desolate/derelict section of Xen with Hostile wildlife and ecosystem
@@adrianthe402nd Gordon also traversed the desolate / derelict Xen in HL1 so I don't understand your point
This feels like Barney teleported into fucking No Man's Land. Front line of the war for Xen between the forces of Gman/Combine/Race X, or some other force, and the Nihilanth. We know the Nihilanth was fighting a multi-front war, and Earth was supposed to be an escape route...
He lost the war to combine pretty quickly. When Xen army attacks Black Mesa, Nihilant is already doing combine's will. Can be seen in Black mesa the game, when Xenians are already using some of combine technologies in their factories. "Alien Grunt" are probably not native species to Xen, yet they are manufactured as combine's storm troopers.
@@Dante-tf2et Yeah I always thought this. Alien Grunts are bioengineered Vortigaunts
@@Dante-tf2et Um actually, the nihilanth is hiding FROM the Combine.
@@wedoalittletrolling723 well... Yeah. He prolly was hiding. But at the moment of resonance cascade, it all does not matter anymore, cause combine found and enslaved him and his smol controller brethren. Or least that's how Black mesa depicts things.
In HL1 version however it was not so obvious. Apparently cause combine wasn't a part of a plot back then.
@@Dante-tf2et I very much prefer the HL1 version, but BM one is good too
I cannot wait to continue playing this masterpiece. Thank you guys so, so much.
Fantastic! I'm not one of those people who complain about Black Mesa's Xen, but I do like the classic look of this.
I love the classic Xen aesthetic
what aesthetic theres like 3 textures
@@JoshuaDoss your point being what exactly?
Me too. I really miss it in the Black Mesa
I really dont. Black Mesa's version is a huge step up, and not just with updates textures.
@@therealw04 CC spent so many years making Xen bro, of course it's a huge step up from the original. The HECU team is far smaller than CC, and just doing their own thing with Focal Point. I'm sure they're still working on it too as they've mentioned in the title that this is a Gameplay Demo.
For a fairly small team of devs making us a FREE mod, it's pretty damn good haha
Seeing how the manta rays attack really shows how the HECU failed to fight against these things in just three days.
I love how this Xen is very Half Lifeish, still retaining both the vibes of Black Mesa. Good job so far!
Great mix of the black mesa/valve styles of xen. Also these setpieces and sequences are crazy good. Im definitely playing this when I get the chance.
Боже мой! Выглядит сногсшибательно!! Вы, ребята, такие молодцы! Продолжайте в том же духе, с нетерпением ждём финальную версию
Oh my god… it’s more than what I imagined. The green, grimy OG Xen mixed with the Black Mesa Aquatic Xen… the feeling of inhospitabilaty. The scattered lightning high above. The roaring wind. The chaos. The feeling that human outposts are barely established. It’s perfect. The original BS Xen felt like a mad dash to an objective and this captures that and then some.
This is perfect. Not only you all made it look just like the opening chapter but all of the green color really resembles the original Xen feel and makes it look like new unexplored parts by Gordon in Black Mesa. Except for the fauna parts but still, it's a lighter green. Can't wait :)!
There are a lot of things to note with this that I find really amazing.
We have a lot more of Xen's original elements with this area, the green atmosphere, the less forgiving enemies, and how its just darker overall, but now we also have elements from Crowbar Collectives version of Xen like the Vortigaunts being mind controlled, and we have other things like equipment left behind by the research team, this could go down as one of the best interpretations of Xen we've gotten.
What a time to be alive.
THIS IS FANTASTIC, THANK YOU HECU COLLECTIVE! 💙
can't wait. I wish someone was also working on an Opposing Force remake like this
Tripmine studios (operation Black Mesa)
@@FineWine-v4.0 Yea, but they've been working on it for nearly 20 years and theres still no Demo. I really don't understand why. And it sucks because their item/gun assets, character models and gameplay changes are way cooler than CC, but CC/HECU has far more impressive level design. theyre also making a blue shift remake (lol) and the levels look like Ass compared to HECUC. I really REALLY wish they'd combine teams so Tripmine would stop wasting time asset building for maps, but Tripmine went commercial years ago. If they released an OF demo that would be something, but like, there's virtually no sign they ever will this many years later. I'd love to be proven wrong, but
@@naturesquad9174 but we can hope
@@naturesquad9174 20 years? buddy they worked it on 2012, thats why it's taking long. do some research first
@@naturesquad9174 Yeah, they definitely haven't been working on it for 20 years dude. Tripmine Studios is creating their remakes from scratch btw, so no assets from Black Mesa like the BM:BS developers were able to use which is part of what's taking so long.
1:08 Didn't expect this. Why this wasn't a thing in normal Black Mesa?
Time constraints?
I mean it wasn't in normal Half-Life but you can argue about that
@@EnclaveSOC-102 If they could make Interloper that long, I don't think time was the problem.
I like how the bombers Pursue you instead of going back and forth like in the original!They also are really cool!
Wooooow! Its so desolate, so hostile, so gritty. I LOVE it! 🥰 Superb work by Faber and the rest of HECU collective!
I love how much more involved the Mantas are. When the RPG hit it with effect I was hyped as hell. Can't wait to play this!!
Yo can't wait to watch you play this lol
Hell yeah
ух ты ,увидел в интервью эти кадры,а ещё и видепрохождение демки ,это просто супер,ждём и надеемся
Looks very good with original Blue Shift already being my favorite Half-Life DLC.
Les go I've waited for this
Think of it in this way guys;
Gordon landed in a much peaceful & developed part of Xen (with the whole Vortigaunt civilization)
While, Calhoun landed in essentially the wild Amazonian jungle-ish part of Xen
I mean, in BM Gordon literally does go through an Amazonian jungleish part of xen, complete with amazonian vines and creepers growing on everything and giant man-eating plants. And the journey to the vortigaunts was anything but peaceful and developed....And the vort slums were more like a deadly mining operation with slaves (hell, it literally was!). I'm confused by what you mean by this
@@naturesquad9174If you only knew what Amazon is like😅
I said "think of it in this way"
If you have a better interpretation, I'm all ears
looking amazing, blue shift and opposing forces where some my all time fave from my childhood, yall are doing amazing work
Insane 🔥🔥🔥
Чуваки крутые. Мод не хуже Блэк Месы. Очень круто сделан. Ждём финальную версию.❤
Сделать мод на основе Блэк Мезы не хуже самой Блэк Мезы задача не шибко сложная
@@kirtheweasel ага, только что то аналогов нет.
@@Andrew-79
Ну не знаю, может быть, потому что ремейк вышел всего лишь четыре года назад?
Да и потом, в разработке Operation Black Mesa, которая возьмёт BM и BS и нагнет раком.
Или не нагнет. Тут уж зависит исключительно от того, доживёт ли мод до релиза.
@@kirtheweasel Блэк Меса образует римейка как по мне. Тем более от фанатов. Блю Шрифт проходил пол года назад где то, 4 эпизода, очень круто. А про Оперейшен БМ чё то вообще ничего не слышно. Если сделают и а уровне буду рад.
@@Andrew-79
Желательно, чтобы он не умер. Потому что я вообще смотрю, и как будто Opposing Force проклят.
It looks absolutely AMAZING! I can''t wait to play this \m/
This is extremely cool. I enjoy how you guys add new little things to all chapters
Thank u i wait❤❤❤
wat da hell this xen version is so dark and gritty, i love how beautiful black mesa's xen is too but this one feels very grounded and serious, very cool!
That’s how the OG Xen and the Xen shown in HL:A is. Though since it’s an inter dimensional dumping ground i still find it appropriate for CC to do their own thing since there’s some creative liberty there.
I’m so relieved that HECU knows what they’re doing.
Great, I love to see this chapter, looks it make quite improvements since black mesa.
Just playied bouth original Blue Shift for the first time, and this mod in a row. Best experience ever! its defenetly felt longer then the original, altho it's only 4th chapter done. Keep up the good shit) hope to play the rest chapters soon))
The old school Xen vibes are awesome, that murky sky caught my attention in particular. BMBS is just getting more and more dope with each update and subsequent release.
Gordon: "Damn, now that I understand the nature of the alien slaves, I should really try to avoid killing them on their own homeworld."
Barney: *"Cowabunga, bitches."*
Fucking Amazing! Reminds me the Classic Xen version
I like the idea of war in xen remind me of the mod point of view
the only things i can think about looking at this are:
1) ow my framerates
2) i wonder when source engine will fuck up my jump thanks to the detailed non-flat surface
This looks amazing. You guys nailed it! 🎉
If there was ever a good example of "above and beyond", I think this would be it.
No puedo esperar necesito jugar ese capítulo y los próximos que saldrán en el futuro
Man, this should be a paid DLC for Black Mesa. You are outdoing yourselfs. You deserve some serious credit
They said they wouldn’t, but I’m hoping they can even just put it on steam as a mod release since everyone just pins the mod to their steam anyways
This is what i was hoping for in original Blue Shift, i thought there is gonna be a boss fight with those Rays but it just flies destroys and go. Glad they actively try to attack Calhoun and we have to fight it.
But yeah they should took more than just one hit in final product
Able to Destroy mantas feels just as satisfying as finally able to destroy phantoms in halo 3
🌌 This Gives me Half-Life: Alyx Vibes Too ☄
same
YES, it honestly looks more seamless comparatively
OMG, I've always wanted to knock down Manta Ray!💥 That's awesome!🔥
Holy shit, the atmosphere of Xen looks fucking next gen. There's so much depth to the vastness of it all now. Blue Shift deserves this!!!!
I was looking forward to this chapter
Looking excellent! Can't wait to play it!
This Looks Amazing! Maybe if they'll announce until it's released. I hope nobody waits around.
Well done!!! it looks so nice, like a merged version of BM-XEN and classic
This is just insane, can't wait to play it!
Это просто шикарная работа,продолжайте разработку в далее
Omg, i can't wait for the release of the next parts ❤ Great job guys !
The Xen that Black Mesa created is full of life, vibrant, etc.
Life gravitates towards life. The Nihilanths tower, and the outlying settlements it spawned, natural Xenian life was attracted to it.
This is the outlands of Xen. Foreign even to Nihilanth and it's slaves.
That's the impression I get from this demo, anyways. The darkness, the green, the particles of air that are being blasted towards the player. This isn't the Xen that we saw in Black Mesa. This is a part of Xen that is unexplored and hostile even to Nihilanth. Barney Calhoun is not welcome. He must escape as soon as possible.
Im in love with this mod
This gives me vibes of the hl2 beta art style! I love it
Looks super cool!
defo love this look more for xen than what we got in bms
The green ambient from Half-Life's Xen looks even better with this remake
This looks amazing! Can't wait until it comes out 👌
It will come out sooner than you think
THIS... IS... TOO... AWESOME...
So fucking sweet.. great job.
Игры какими они должны быть. Великолепная игра за адекватные деньги. Оплачу несколько копий когда выйдет, как с Black Mesa сделал.
looks siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick. omg dem graphics
Пограничный мир тут по кадрам по атмосфере более похож с оригиналом. В Блэк Мезе он какой-то перенасыщенный жизнью и не очень вяжется по атмосфере с оригиналом. Нету депрессии, загадочности сильной и безнадеги, смотря на огромные скалистые безжизненные острова наполненные смертью с тягой к исследованию.
Amazing!
Absolutley incredible
I like this video I hope that we get chapter 5 soon this year 🤩🤩🤩
I love the green tinted Xen
Calhoun!
HECU Cllective its awesome! We will waiting! Thank you
I can't wait for black Mesa blue shift release on the chapter 5 ❤❤❤
LETS GOOOOO
Really looking forward to this :)
looks amazing
Man I can’t wait!!!
WOW 🎉🎉🎉
Yes, Yes, definitely YES! This is going to be AMAZING experience and can't wait for it. What a great idea to remake whole story!
Damn that looks crazy
Looks like a portal storm in xen. Perhaps caused by the cascade. This chapter is gonna be wild.
looks absolutely incredible, the jump from 2001 to 2024 is astounding. i can tell a lot of hard work went into this, it looks really good! Blue shift was always underrated and its nice to see the game getting some love. Any plans to make Opposing Force?
I love it guys !!
This looks very promising!
this looks so cool, props to the whole team it's amazing work you guys are putting into this.
I don't know if the HUD is placeholder but if it looked just like it did in black mesa i think it'd be chef's kiss (keep it blue tho)
The HUD is the same one carried over from Captive Freight update, so I think they'll stick with it (for now)
This really awesome
How it was VS how we saw it the first time.
Me: *sees the video*
Also Me: *sighs and downloads 30 gb of Black Mesa*
I LOOVE how xen looks more in-tone with original xen being fleshy and completely uninhabitable!
**Casually kills a godlike entity that not even Gordon could kill with RPG's and other weapons**
If there is no obscurely hidden Wilhelm scream in this I will be sorely disappointed
There's already a hidden Wilhelm scream in Captive Freight
Por dios, esto se ve increible😎
It’s happening but when is it released and nice idea that you can shoot down the xen dropships
Esto si es un avance de un proyecto y que sea gratis para los fans!!! esto debería ser de pagá para apoyar a los que crearon esto... No como un tal "operation black mesa" que no muestra un trailer, menos nada de gameplay desde 9 años...
This. Looks. Huge.
"About that beer I owe ya" 🍺
CANT WAIT
That looks incredible!
