In case anyone's curious, the 1998 concept was basically a tech demo to demonstrate the innovative and highly advanced capabilities of the GoldSRC engine, such as particle systems, skeletal animations, and attaching entities to individual parts of an animated model. At the time, this was considered groundbreaking. Valve also made a robot model back in the day with a staggering number of animated bones (for the time). This was a stress test that was meant to crash the engine, but it didn't.

I really like those facts that such games were revolutionary. Even though I wasn't born in 90's, I still find it fascinating, even at 2023. After all, they were one of the people who made game industry from the scratch!

[@RadarFinsR]

It was like 20 bones and 6000 polygons to show just how groundbreaking Half life was going to be. And if you know anything about the games reputation on launch, yeah it was truly ground breaking. It may be hard for you to believe but people used to use words like "photo realistic" when describing games like half life blowing the minds of people.

The ''Open your Eyes'' and ''Open your Mind'' ones are simply iconic, but the one for Alyx is such a cool new stylized and modern take on the classic intro and ''mascot'' if you will. I'd love for a new wave of Valve masterpieces to come along for a new generation of players with a brand new intro, keeping the music of course, simply hearing that tune can make you travel all the way back in time to '98 back when HL1 was released, it's magical.

"They faked the moon landing in 1969!!!" CGI in 1998:

[@duncanwade1026]

Video Games are actually produced differently to CGI effects. Video Games are designed to be rendered in real time, so games from the 90s (and possibly the 60s) had very primitive graphics that weren't very detailed. CGI, on the other hand, is designed to be rendered over a long period of time into a video file, so CGI films from the 90s can include more complex things without any detriment to performance. Visual effects back in the 60s were more practical, but even then I'd be hard to replicate the moon landing footage accurately with the materials and visual tricks they had at the time.

I feel like now that skeletal animations are the norm in games we don’t really appreciate how groundbreaking that first intro was. But like back in the 90s when doing 3D skeletal animations in video games was unheard of. To the point that most publishers thought that valve wasn’t going to be able to do it. That intro was practically a massive flex on anyone who doubted their abilities. By having a guy do all that movement they pretty much proved the entire industry wrong.

[@pawprint1]

I like how the lab's intro is just a room filled with valves and a sign with the company's name instead of the head turning

I know people find Open Your Mind as the creepiest one out of them all, and I certainly do see why, but to me the 2016 one is the creepiest to me.

@@satanikpanik. I consider half life to be quite obscure or "weird" in a good meaning of course, when it comes to its world building, and how little do we know about its universe and specific characters. Especialy the life of Gordon Freeman, one day he goes to job, ends up fighting entire combine in couple of hours/days. Of course i have somewhat simplified my answer for it be a accurate to what Nostradamus New said. Also i dont exactly understand what you mean by saying "non of their games are obscure".
