But at least you attempted a meaningful discussion, which, to tell the truth, I think is more than what even the OP started with. Also, this forum is for anyone that feels like posting in it. I had some trouble getting through a couple points, I will admit that readily, but overall the game is pretty linear. I do not want to judge you, but the way you are messing with such a good game makes me write that you should keep playing newer and lineal-walkthrough games there is no need to mess around with the classics, this forum is for people who know what is a good game. I can see you like to know where to go and what to do when you are playing, well that is not the way HL became one of the greatest games of all time this is made to make you to think where to go and what to do, and that is the main feature of good games. Originally posted by a161197a:You can expect that from any old game when you are looking for an old game you MUST expect that. The story and execution of it really takes off in HL 2 and it is definitely worth bearing through any bad moments you might experience through the series. I found the games can drag on a bit, but the difference between HL 1 and HL 2+episodes is quite considerable. OP, I recommend continuing with the games completely through Episode 2. Although, I will admit there were times when I felt the games dragged on. Half-Life 2 and the episodes definitely take things considerably further with the story, but they still don't have all the fluff of today's games and that gives them the "less is more" feeling as well. Substitute Doom with Half-life and HL would probably be pretty crappy. "If Doom were made today" (youtube that for people who don't know it) is pretty spot on. Regardless of the technical standpoint, I think this game actually has a "less is more" thing going for it.
how did we get along without it?!Īs far as story goes, this game was created during a time when having all the fluff of today's games was simply not practical or even possible, especially from a technical standpoint. for me I guess it was like the invention of the printing press. When I first started using the mouse+wasd to play an fps I found it to be a difficult transitiion but after 30 minutes or so the idea of not using the mouse. I remember playing Wolfenstein 3d and Doom 1+2 using the arrow keys, control, space, and shift. I don't understand how wasd+mouse could possibly be bad controls. Also as a general rule, this game is pretty linear, not completely, but a good enough portion of it is. Though as a general rule, if you see something to shoot then you probably move in that direction. I do remember getting stuck in plot advancement a couple times, but as I wasn't familiar with the game, I kinda expected that to happen. Half-Life might look a little dated after all these years (hence last year's long-awaited Black Mesa remake), but it's still a highly-enjoyable, landmark game and since Valve has packed it in. I don't recall ever getting stuck on anything in the environment, whether visible or invisible, so I have nothing to say in that regard. Gliding on ice is far older than Half-Life, and someone who's played NES games should know this. Terrible controls were practicaly a staple of NES games. There's a reason "Nintendo-hard" exists as a term. Playing video games since the days of the original NES and finding this game difficult simply doesn't compute. We hope you enjoy the ride with us as we complete this journey.I want to preface all this by saying that I've been playing video games since the 80's as well, and that I didn't get to play any of the Half-Life (including Portal) games until some time within the last 2 years.
We'll be posting development updates along the way on our blog. We're aiming to make the game feel just as familiar as long-term fans will expect it to, while modernising the graphics and technology. Project Borealis is being created on Unreal Engine 4 to give it the updated look that Half-Life has deserved after all these years.
#Half life 1 art series#
Project Borealis is now an over 80 person team of developers dedicated to revisiting the Half-Life series with a fresh new episode for fans of the series, old and new, to enjoy. We're a group of Half-Life fans who are spending our evenings and weekends creating the game we've been waiting so long for. The story detailed the adventures of Gertie Fremont and Alex Vaunt, and is now believed to be an overview of the intended plot of the long awaited Half-Life 2: Episode 3.įrom the ensuing chaos in the Half-Life community, Project Borealis was formed.
On August 25th 2017, a plot synopsis was published on the blog of Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw.
