I use to subscribe to the magazine PC Gamer. And I fallowed the development of Half Life as the magazine periodically would publish updates from then Valve, which back then were a development team. We all know what Valve is today 🙂. Thing is that, I got to see many concepts during development that I thought were very cool but never made it in to the final release. Like, animations of scientists and security guards when they were being infected. I ones saw a picture of a security guards eyes popping out. This is way before the final product was released

As someone who got into PC gaming around 07' as my consoles red ringed into the abyss. HL2 was my first game on steam, I've played just about every version of HL1 including the raytraced mod and the expansions. I'm even messing with HL2 RTX Remix (Needs a ton of effort but is viable) and honestly, if there was only a way to clean up the audio, add subtitles to more modern standards and perhaps a model/texture pack that's faithful it'd be a 10/10 experience for me with HL1RT but i'd have to give it an 8 (with 2023 standards applied) Mario 64 RTX with the Render96 model pack? an otherworldly upgrade to an amazing game. It's moddable, can adjust rays and bounce lighting amounts. it's such a perfect converstion (Not a mod like HLRT) even has some new content from the DS remake that you played as other characters. Said this last year, I'll say it again. Genuinely excited to be around to see these innovations, big and small, however if your on the fence for HLRT? Go for it man, you can get the game for less than a cs go key i'm sure now. This is a massive game changing mod. You really want to replay it and see how everything looks now. The atmosphere? The developer of the mod tuned it so well in my opinion. I held off for like 7 years to properly give it a shot and my first time it was Source. Don't make the same mistake as me! HL1GoldSrc or HL1RT is some pc gaming perfection.

Regarding your revolver comment in the ray tracing mod, the default model entirey uses a chrome texture. just like source, the ray tracing mod makes it move like its lit from multiple directions unlike in a fixed position relative to the camera.

While that's a good way to show off raytracing effects, in my opinion is just looks kinda ugly, at least compared to the vanilla revolver model.

I will say you should play black mesa over the original half-life, not because HL1 is bad but because BM is just a better version of HL1. also most modern gamers for some reason cannot stand the graphics of HL1 for some reason?
@Liniyka
Жыл бұрын
I wouldn't call Black Mesa "a better version of HL1", but rather a different, more modern version of HL1. It is superior in terms of graphics, but the gameplay is not necessarily better - the best example of this being the new Xen levels. They look amazing, but are very long and kind of tedious in my opinion. Ultimately, to each their own, but calling BM "a better version of HL1" is incorrect imo.

@Liniyka Yes, it changes the gameplay and not even a bit because it's a mod and that's its purpose (to change). Of course, I don't suggest/recommend that for a first playthrough. But it's just that MMod has great effects like explosions, etc... and great animations and additions.. So for this to be combined with Ray Traced, to me, it would be amazing even more than I'm already amazed by the Ray Traced mod. They're still not compatible with each other until now.. So maybe in the future they will. Also, I wished Ray Tracing mod was compatible with ReSrced mod but I don't think they are until now. Maybe in the future, too. PS: I really liked the video idea (To review Half-life with the Ray Tracing mod) 👌🏻👌🏻
