Sweet. Looks better than I expected.

Doesn't look like they did anything with textures or models

Half-life Source isn't getting the same treatment as CS:S is, so don't expect anything mind-blowing to come from it

Have you played Half-Life recently? There is definetely an improvement. Not a huge one but certainly a noticeable one.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Nope, if you guys read interviews etc, they said that HL:Source won't be an overhual like CS:S as that would take like a year to do (high-res HL1 mod plz kthx!!). But hey they added the water

And since it's on the new engine people can mod it to be much much better. And take advantage of physics, shaders, 3d skybox, etc etc

I'll try and get a screenshot of that exact scene from hl1.

That's just so half assed. Id rather them actually make the high res textures and give it a real overhaul, and just release it on steam later.

What's the incentive for them exactly? They're not charging us extra for it.

It's not half-assed at all. Rick Ellis I believe said that it would be like making a HL3.

Exactly. Why would they invest so much time revamping their old game when the sequel is obviously the main attraction? We're lucky they did something like this at all (can you think of any developers who upgraded past games in a series to go along with their new engine to a significant degree?).

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Yea exactly going through all the art is a HUGE portion of development (around 1/2-3/4 if you are using a premade engine and aren't adding huge new features) so you could spend a year plus making everything high-res and beautiful

I bet someone will make a mod for Half-Life Source that's Half-Life redone completely, textures, models, the works.

Yeah, it was nice of them to even go over HL in source as much as they have. They could have just toned up the mods.

I;ll take what I can get.

 

[Sparta]

And i'll bet Valve will then make that mod available for purchase over Steam, just like CS and DoD, and use that as a replacement for HL:Source
