Wow some nostalgia right there! What a game that was!
Half-Life 25th Anniversary Documentary
- Thread starter SpudMaster
- Start date
Man of Honour
I always remember Half-Life just being so different to the other FPS of the time which to an extent felt a little like graphically updated versions of Doom in that it was pretty much just shooting.
Half-Life basically gave us the FPS genre we have now which (in story mode anyway) is almost more of an FPS-adventure type game.
I haven't watched the docu but will get some time this weekend hopefully!

It's a great documentary and quite honest and poignant at times - not what I expected.
Yes, they were making history, but the guy whose daughter's picture appears in Gordon's locker sounds like he went through hell - also, the only woman on the team unsurprisingly had some issues with her young male colleagues.
Also, I was surprised (maybe I shouldn't have been) about how unsentimental Gabe sounds about Half-Life - by his own words he's more interested in what comes next rather than dwelling on what they've done - perhaps that's one of the reasons that Half-Life 3 has never materialised - he's simply not as attached to it as the fans are.

Can't link due to language but there are a couple of different videos on YouTube of scenarios of re-entering the Anomalous Materials Lab after the Black Mesa incident, pretty cool idea and an absolute missed opportunity by Valve.
