I have Half Life 2 in an orange box collection disk for PC. i didn't know it required steam to play since I haven't installed it yet... When I played HL1 back in my old days it didn't need any of these crap that all new age piece of sh*t are nowadays require on line connection and crap... Instead of criticizing maybe you should think about that you are a part of those who accept these crap...

Oook... Judge Dredd...whatever...

I can become your therapist if you wish...

Maybe you should get your facts right about what Steam is, before you bash it. Saftle hit it on the head, you only have to be online ONCE to authenticate. Beyond that, my personal opinion on piracy has no bearing on the matter, the forum is against piracy, and you were talking about half life 2 without Steam, something only possible via piracy. Even beyond -THAT-, Steam is one of the greatest things the industry has going for it right now. A fully digital marketplace, with minimal, non-intrusive DRM, with social networking built in. This one piece of software, serves the same purpose as the Xbox 360 Dashboard, the PS3/PSP XMB, and the Wii shop, and it was released in 2004. If it weren't for Steam's existence/success, consoles probably wouldn't be where they are now. So before you call Steam "new age crap" give some thought to what it has done for the industry, and how it has multiplied the convenience factor for PC gaming. Full digital backups of THOUSANDS of games, on top of minimal DRM that allows you to install the games on as many computers as you want, as long as you log in ONCE to verify the legality of the installation, and a nice, organized interface to browse through your games.

So please, explain to me why Steam is crap, I would -LOOOOOOOOOOVE- to hear your (highly flawed) rationale. Seriously, I'm really interested in hearing what a mental midget has to say on the matter.

Leonhart might be misinformed, but your response is completely disproportional - and against the tone of these forums.

You've already been told to calm things down. So do so.

Some leaked footage - the video is dark due to the encoding, the game is much lighter

Looks pretty damn awesome
ValveTime Exclusive - Black Mesa: Source On a Rail Gameplay
Music is NOT the actual soundtrack, but a 3rd party song, and Iron sights only serve to give a visual indication of the magnum's zoom (which just zoomed your screen in HL1) - if there are iron sights for every weapon, they don't affect the accuracy and are completely optional.

Just FYI, this is much darker then it will be ingame, it's just the encoding.

I love how you can gib the soldiers with the .50 cal

@Bloodshot - the link to the video needs fixing.

Can't wait for this to come out, hopefully I will have built my new machine by then. They also run on value time so it should be fine.

The only thing I don't like from watching the video is the voice acting. It lacks the certain level of polish that I have come to associate with this mod. All in all, just want to sink my teeth in for some nostalgic Freeman shinagin's

BloodShot · « **Reply #30 on:** 2012-08-07 00:42:28 »

I believe the VAs for the soldiers were meant to be campy, since they probably didn't have the money to get better actors, since they are paying out of pocket for everything they need.

It looks really nice though otherwise. I was not expecting the gameplay to look that responsive and "meaty"

Black Mesa Source gameplay video! It's looking pretty good

Same thing posted just above mate.

The leak video has been since removed but I got a hold of the 1080p video and took some screenshots.

Unfortunately black levels still crushed though, but it's easier to make things out

Here's the 1080p video - you might want to raise the brightness in WMP because the encoding caused it to be darker than it really is.

If it goes down, I'll upload it myself if you want.

Half Life, tsk, I remember how I had my brains burned by red lasers 8 minutes into the Game. And I was shot to death by missles in Episode Two of Half Life 2. Black Mesa looks like a winner to me. Is it going to be on Steam?

Covarr · « **Reply #37 on:** 2012-09-02 13:38:43 »

For as great as Half-Life was for its time, it's certainly showing its age, far more than Half-Life 2. I'm glad to see this.

P.S. I did a bit of topic-merging. We don't need two threads less than a month apart for the same thing XD

I voted it up, along with some fun looking games like Saturday Morning RPG and Organ Trail.

Watched the actual count down (from literally 5 seconds) and it went to release.blackmesasource.com which was forbidden.

Not a good launch start...

Mirenheart · « **Reply #48 on:** 2012-09-14 18:16:29 »

I'm in the middle of downloading the torrent as we speak.

So much excitement.
