Blue Shift: Source

[altceva]

Well, browsing the internet, I found this by accident:

Some russian designing team started to work on Blue Shift: Source.

Take a look at their pictures, it looks awesome.

If this is old news, then sorry, please delete/lock. I made a quick search around this forum and I didn't find anything.

Their forum is in russian :hmph: and I couldn't read although I know a little. Let's hope they will make a good job.

The most important decision during mod creation was to add in game as much realism as possible, therefore you can expect:

Weapon models created according to existing samples: Glock 18 with semi-automatic and automatic fire modes, Colt M4A1 assault rifle, Benelli M3 shotgun, SMAW grenade launcher and other kinds of weapon from the original;

Authentic weapon firing simulation and iron sights aiming system. Feedback, weapon "delay" during movement and various firing modes;

Realistic player camera and footsteps simulation – camera bobbing;

Close to real models of HECU soldiers – including uniform and gear;

Calculation of character’s stock power amount. Calhoun has limited quantity of power. When it is low, Barney wouldn’t be able either to provide various actions or aim precisely. The amount of power is influenced by sprint, crouching, sprint while crouching, climbing ladders, shooting duration (also depends on weapon caliber) and damage.

And also:

All visual features from Source Engine: HDR-lighting, dynamic shadows, particles system and other;

Modified enemies’ AI. It is planned to teach them how to fight in team;

A big number of physical tasks. Modern physics allows you not only to shoot, but also think a bit;

Some vehicle rides;

Multiplayer mode. The realism from singleplayer will be playable in network modes. Unfortunately, cooperative mode is not planned.

Yeah, I might buy it, Maybe...

:dork:

Anyway, it's probably going to suck. They're adding new chapters, driveable vehicles and more bullshit.

I don't see adding stuff as a wrong thing. I would like to play a completly new Blue Shift rather than play the same cloned game with improved graphics. They just need to stick to the main plot, what's extra...is more than welcome. Of course, I wouldn't take some Halo shit, to ride vehicles all the time. I just hope they will make a good job, that's it...

That if it comes out, there are to many like this, and none of them have even released a Beta version.

Why are they making a game called BSS when they're changing so much? Just make an original piece of work FFS.

Meh, another remake down the drain, sadly.

WTF why haven't I heard about this before:

EDIT: Upon further research, another mod team is actually making an OP4 source mod called Operation Black Mesa.

Sorry if this is all old news.
