Black Mesa 1.0 coming to Steam March 5th!

I've been playing it as the public beta which released recently. Really quite good and the light and shadow effects are top notch given the engine in question. The real-time shadow effects cast from your torch puts Metro Exodus to shame in this specific regard even.
 
It is very good, very polished and the updated GFX settings in the final seem nice too. Really like the light/shadow combination.

Also, hah at some of the advanced GFX options you can turn on.

All settings except one stick for me. The selected option above does not stick on Ludicrous but instead the next one down "Ridiculous". All other settings seem to stick for me on an RTX 2070S
 
With the above settings I was seeing 130+ fps so I cannot imagine how that one setting on ludicrous would tax much VRAM at all. For comparison GTA5 doesn't even use all of my VRAM with mostly Ultra settings and draw distance at maximum! Neither does Metro Exodus on the Extreme setting with ray tracing enabled etc.

I only have a 6700K at 4.4GHz but seem zero issues.

Game is amazing though. Still can't get over the real-time shadows cast by anything you shine your light at.

Currently playing Black mesa Blue Shift as recent new episode came out and I never played BMBS so fresh experience. It's awesome, so many funny interactive moments with NPCs and you can really grief them :D
