Give me screenshots!

thund · Nov 16, 2004

Well I decided not to buy through Steam because I'm old fashioned, to lazy etc but I still want to see what HL:S looks like. So, all you silver/gold/ce people, convince that its worth waiting the extra month or whatever until the CE gets released in UK :E

Please, lots and lots of piktars...

Paappa · Nov 16, 2004

Me wants pics too!

azz0r · Nov 16, 2004

After an hour its almost downloaded, I tried just and it hard crashed my PC.

96% - almost there

thund · Nov 16, 2004

Keep us posted. And when you do get the game running just take screenshots as you go through it.

Bullseye · Nov 16, 2004

i'm at 80% i'll try taking some shots aswell

azz0r · Nov 16, 2004

K not worth taking screenshots.

The only changes are the shadows for players, blood particle when you shoot things and bulletholes (physics on dead stuff too).

Disapointing.

They never said it would be anything more... so why are you disappointed?

i agree

azz0r · Nov 16, 2004

I expect some tweaks here and there, perhaps better scaling or a rehashed hud - ANYTHING

Someone asked for some comparative screens, so yknow...here ygo:

I wasn't expecting much...but I thought they could at least overwrite the 2 polygon models with the new ones for Barney, and the scientists and such...I mean they're there, it'd take 2 seconds of work...why not? :\

Show us some of the water effects eg: at the dam, or the red water in Xen.

ALso... are there special ragdolls for all the monsters or just humanoids? Eg: if you push around a dead ichyosaur (when it floats on the surface) or bullsquid does it move around realistically?

BigFreak · Nov 16, 2004

And I belive non humanoids have ragdolls, but this might not be correct. I've only really played with zombies so far, so I can't really say for anything else, but the zombies have ragdolls.

*edit*: Yea, Nehgihilallthed it up a bit to test coloured water and floating corpses...and...

Yea, 's all good. Someone just needs to retexture the whole of Half Life, import the new models, and remodel anything that's not been done already in HL2. Enjoy.

SGT Tenor · Nov 17, 2004

After seeing Hl2 in action who cares anymore? I thought I'd play thtough HL source but now as I see it it's not worth the effort without the HL2 graphics. And my they are seet!!!!

Homer · Nov 17, 2004

This should make you care:

Bad^Hat · Nov 17, 2004

Holy crap, that water just outclasses everything, regardless of outdated textures/models :E

goldenboi · Nov 17, 2004

it took me a few minutes to realizer that was HL:S and not the orginal...terrible port..terrible

thund · Nov 17, 2004

Heh, thats pretty cool.

But yeah, new textures (and models) ftw.

Btw, I saw screenshots elsewhere of someone nailing scientists to walls with the crossbow, so the game may have more hidden surprises than you think.

Homer · Nov 17, 2004

the new 3d skybox is worth it by itself.

Top Secret · Nov 17, 2004

WTF? Is that a skybox down there?

UKchaos2 · Nov 17, 2004

Cool, they replaced the skyboxes!

Razor · Nov 17, 2004

Is anyone going to be working on new weapon models, etc?

SunshineRecorder · Nov 17, 2004

You bunch of blind fools

It's not a super difference, but hey, at leat the floors have specular highlights! Chrome on the metal pipes on walls shine, glass shines etc.

Its actually MORE than they promised. (They only promised lighting, physics and water).

Asuka · Nov 17, 2004

Wow people Valve said it would be a full port. Just some small things. remember hl:s was a test to see how easy it would be to port over a game or maps. Cs:s was then the next test which they took very far and remade completely.

Logic · Nov 17, 2004

I love HL:S

I've been playing through it after finishing HL2, and it is of course a brilliant game, and the water and physics effects integrate so seamlessly into it, the whole experience is enhanced. I'm very happy with it.

thund · Nov 17, 2004

I actually think that new skybox looks pretty bad, but I'm sure it could look better. Now if only valve would release the source files for the hl1 maps *me wishes....

It looks a darn sight better than it used to....

Dowie · Nov 17, 2004

It looks great

Plug · Oct 12, 2005

You'll find that if you play through hl source on the hard difficulty the enemies are much tougher than the original game.
Soldiers take you down in fewer hits!

Wow... just wow...

This should get a lot more people excited in Black Mesa Source.
