[@shadesilverwing592]

The original creators of the Doom series John Romero and John Carmack have said that it takes a truly passionate team an incredible amount of dedication, and give-a-damn to make a game really amazing. I grew up in the 90's full of amazing games Half-life was part of my childhood, and to play Black mesa in its full experience is jaw dropping. Half-life is one of those games where the story is part of the experience, its not just about shooting the bad guys. Crowbar Collective hit it out of the park.

as some born in 2001 i grew up with *half-life* in a strange way. i first found out about *portal 2* from trailers for it on the T.V. and that lead to me playing *half-life* games about a year later. while other kids in school were busy playing games like *call* *of* *duty* and *grand* *theft* *auto* and were all surprised by the fact that i had never played any of them, i was busy playing the games that practically made it possible for those games to exist in the first place. while other kids had no idea what *half-life* was and didn't understand anything i was talking about and likely didn't care, i was playing the grandson of F.P.S. games. this was back in fifth grade and it stayed this way for the most part, i would be playing *portal* and *half-life* while other people would be busy playing the "cool" games, all of them unaware that every game they were playing likely used something that *half-life* practically invented. in highschool everyone would talk about *fortnite* towards the end of my last year, all completely unwilling to listen to what I had to say about the games i was playing, some even saying that they were not relevant anymore and that they were dead. ( which to be fair was sort of right ) some even saying that they think the game is bad, only to also say that they played *left* *4* *dead* and *counter* *strike* , completely unaware of the game responsible for those ones even having the chance to exist. if only we were all still in school and had not graduated already, i would love to see their reactions to the series return and the internets absolute implosion upon it happening, and would love to be able to say that all of us here weren't just waiting for nothing, but that we were waiting for the biggest event of the decade in video game history. thankfully, along with other games that appear to only exist on the internet, i was able to find the communities of people who not only know that these games exist, but have been playing them for as long as i have, often even longer. and now, now i get to know what it was like. now i get to know how everyone else felt when this series first started, to know what it was like when *half-life* wasn't just a videogame, but when it was videogames. thank you everyone and may we all find ourselves once again on a small tram at 8:47 A.M. mountain standard time may we all raise the bar

Лучший ремейк старой игры который я только видел!

[@silentsnake7125]

I played every. Single. Half-Life. Game. All the way from 1 and all it's different roles, to 2 episode 2 and have always waited for a 3, like every original fan of the series. I always admired the story and the imagination of the creators.. This? This is something else... The graphics, the details, the feelings as you relive your childhood, and the epic holy fucking shit MUSIC! Everything at first seemed like a graphics modification to Half-Life and some work on extra details and small additions which added more sense to the original HL1, which makes you understand where and how HL2 started. Hence, everything seemed like a typical Half-Life game, action-wise and story-wise... UNTIL.... until you get to Xen... When I first got to Xen.. I literally just stood there... admiring the scene.. admiring the music.. admiring the outer space sounds.. admiring the colors.. admiring the creatures.. and admiring what I called "Eye of Mordore" (which you can see in the first trailer video at 1:44).. It's just sensational.. literally.. sensational... You don't want it to end.. you don't want the scene to end, you don't want the music to end, you'd just wanna stand there and zoom in on everything in the outer space... and just think.. Without any spoilers, a combination of epic action and epic music near the end will almost make you wanna cry. This is a game/remake that speaks directly to the hearts of the original Half-Life fans. Worth Every Single Freaking Penny.

Everyone says that this game is mod, but this is not mod anymore, it's the other game in Half Life franchise. And now you realize that this is all done, on the Sourse engine, the fucking engine of 2004, it's just phenomenal, this project says that even fans can do really great things

[@EmilChristensenHeaton]

only people that grew up on half life can understand how much powerful it was. The level design the idea behind it , back in the day it was so unique for games . This game to this day beat every game in those aspects especially in the story line . Half life Is legacy !

[@Balnazzardi]

Indeed before Half Life all FPS games basicly had design where levels were seperated by some score screen at the end of each level. Half Life was unique that while its levels for sure were seperated by loading pauses, you were never taken into seperate loading screen or score screen so it felt like one big level from beginning to the end. The amount of storytelling without giving any clear answers what was going on was unique too for FPS games at the time. So ye im glad it got modernized with Black Mesa so that perhaps younger generations might more easily give it a chance and enjoy it. But I doubt they will never be as amazed by Half-Life/Black Mesa as we who played the original in late 90s

[@yourfavweeb]

This looks sick!!!! Imma spend my money on dis game when it comes out!

[@feroas3150]

Its already on steam xd

[@Vert-LIVE]

I just played through HL (1998) and the expansions Opposing Force and Blue Shift. I did this Black Mesa remake right after, and I was blown away by the attention to detail, and the love you could feel for the original all throughout. Don't even get me started on Xen, really deserves more praise than I can possibly give you guys. Major success, thanks for this revisit to my childhood!

[@newer9549]

This game is divine! So much everything conveyed the events of the first part, I went through this game in one breath! It's legendary! 0:42

[@creoterative]

Best Game Franchise in the entire existence of gaming. My father played Half Life when it first came out, one of his favorite games and he showed it to me when I was younger, so I fell in love with it too. Played it for myself last year when I got my new PC, still the best I've ever played, nostalgia hit hard when Black Mesa came out.
