Black Mesa and IITPP Similarities

Video with a lot of the similarities I saw between Black Mesa/HL1 and IITPP.

Half of the Innovation Games has References or Based off Half-Life and Black Mesa. like Arctic Base has the Same Tram And HEV Suit room. Innovation Labs has a Lobby that is just like Black Mesa and a Badge for going into a vent saying "Just like Dr. Freeman". Also, The games said their Rival is 'Pinewood' which is just like 'Black Mesa' (Half-Life) and 'Aperture Science' (Portal) are competing with each other.

[@zeitgeistlime]

the badge i could be a reference to L4D as louis says "I feel like gordon freeman!" sometimes

[@supermegabenji1026]

@@zeitgeistlime Yeah, but in the Half-Life games. Gordon always goes in Vents. It could also be a Reference to that as well.

[@Gameshu]

Also something to note: the Y shaped hallway linking the lobby, cafeteria, and food labs, uses the Questionable Ethics hallways in the labs

[@supermegabenji1026]

@@Gameshu Nice. I forgot about that Reference. And there's another reference in Arctic Base where if you go in the Security room Past the Size Machine, The office has a Reference to 'Team Fortress 2's Meet the Spy Video' Intro.

[@SticerzNick]

Also the vent in IITPP leads to a NPC which u can talk and his name is "Gordon Freakman".

[@genericobjectshow3440]

I love how the switches from P2 just happen to be in the mainframe

[@cdredstone]

You should've shown footage from the original half-life game when you put the HEV suit on, its strikingly similar to IITPP

[@trinawoods1017]

They also have a secret mastermind known as Gman and the limbo master

The closest Black Mesa games in Roblox are IITPP and Computer Core Apollo Research Facility Edit: That second one has an identical topside and uses Black Mesa announcements.

[@lilpmac260]

Like all the similarities of Black Mesa (except the fact the computer core being from Aperture). They did a nice job

[@Such_normal_guy]

1:52 Worth mentioning the music is similar

[@Void_Robloxian]

ok the radiation part, someone definitely copied the other game

[@isaacgamerofficial]

I swear the black mesa suit equip area looks like the pinewood thermal plants suit equip area. Anyone agree?

The only thing I like about black mesa is the lasers and the anti-mass spectrometer

Hey guys, just wanted to clarify, I made this video because I loved both games and saw some cool similarities. IITPP has tons of unique qualities and features and shouldn't be bashed for some creative inspirations taken. Thanks (:

[@FusionForge_Incorporated]

the "its not shutting down"sound iconic

[@zoopla2323]

Innovation inc thermal power plant is Not the only game that has similar things to black Mesa. hazardous incorporated also has the Dam from black mesa. innovation inc thermal power plant probably has the most similarities tho

[@stethan57]

I might make a video on other core games, as I was originally going to group them together, but the video would've been too long.

the sound that you hear before the announcer talks in IITPP reminds me of the sound that the Honolulu Skyline makes before making an announcement

[@Myth-A-Weave]

The announcer is named ASAS, the automatic smart announcement system.

[@bishalgurung4356]

Before I watched this video, in PCC and ISS, I can hear sounds from black Mesa, half life and half life 2, it is interesting how these games taken inspiration from black Mesa and half life, cuz it is a underground high security science base.

[@sprait3128]

i love how QSERF looks like aperture science

[@SCA_AGENT_001]

Uhh. I myself don’t agree.

[@paweszutowicz5732]

i agree. i saw a picture and it looked like the Enrichment spheres from OLD aperture

Hey! Coolminecrafters1 here! I was formerly the head admin of IITPP during the 2019-2021 era of the game! Having seen this game evolve from what it was to what it is now is absolutely brilliant and I am very happy with how well done it is. IITPP has come a long way from where it began and I like how the style has shifted more towards that of Black Mesa, to show the roots of their inspiration and how they gave back to it in their own way. Hope you people have a nice day / night! - Crescent / Coolminecrafters

[@TranscorpHR]

someone is gonna eventually recreate the entirety of black mesa (pre-incident) in roblox studio with unfathomable detail and call that "innovation inc remade"

I always thought, the “It’s..
