Black Mesa Source

sure, if you think the world is full of flat surfaces and building are really just cubes with pretty textures. the source engine is very scalable but to say it looks real? thats is absolutely barmy.

The original cryengine is better than the source engine in terms of looking 'real', let alone the cryengine2
 
When HL was first due to come out, I emailed the people behind the game asking for an update and to see when it would be released in the UK. I still remember the reply:

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The world of FPS gaming will change forever on "whatever day it was" (- for some reason November 20th seems to ring a bell).

It was true :)
 
Mwwaaa, I totally LOVED HL1!
I remember completing a number of times back in my teenage years, when I had hours to waste in front of a computer... ahh those were the golden days.
 
Been following this for a couple of years now and they are starting to get close to finishing, I think we should have it by the end of the year.

I loved the origional HL1 back in the day and just recently started playing it again. When this comes out Uni/Work will have to get used to not having me for a while cos this is all that will be on my mind.

I don't have the time to play through a huge single player game right now. And even if I did, it's *very* hard to recapture the "magic" of old games if you didn't play it when it was new.

You don't have the rose-tinted glasses that let you ignore the graphics that look bad compared to modern games, the clunky interface and controls and the patience to get round the odd issues that the games have with modern PCs/OS's.

Example: I love System Shock 2 and happily re-play it to this day. I can appreciate that getting someone else to play it that 'missed out' would be rather hard though.

Is there a technophobe noob easy way to get hold of this please or does it involve loads of files and torrents etc. (System Shock 2)
Cheers.
 
HL1 is of course on steam, and works perfectly on these 'new age futuristic nuclear machines' that we have today instead of 10 years ago. Controls are controls, it's an FPS...... Interface? Is not far from the current HL2 based games. If you're the sort of person who spends all their time looking at the walls thinking "these textures look 10 years old!" then yes you won't enjoy it. If you want to play it for brilliant gameplay, action and quality storyline line -from the game that pretty much MADE Valve, then play it.
