how long till HL1 conversion for HL2

[gulo]

Sorry if this was mentioned here before but is total conversion of Half-life 1 into Source engine in works and if not any bets/ideas how long it will take till someone makes it?

I'd like to play it for sure :thumbs:

No kidding, but it has been mention... about a Bajillion times... Lets just wait for the release of HL2.

why?

 

[Pol]

would probably take ages, but would be cool :]

 

[dawdler]

A few years perhaps. Tops 3.

 

[FISKER_Q]

According to Valve they already did that.

and according to jesus everyone with the first name of Gary will live for ever...

 

[gulo]

well wasnt it said that its not that hard to convert maps from HL1 into HL2 ?
plus do maybe some textures/models enhancements...

we all know there are skilled people with too much time on their hands

Its going to have to be a mod, so whenever someone feels motivated enough.

HL1 convert to HL2 tech?
its going to be cool
but i won't spend a £ or $ on it.

it's just like doom1 - that's a classic game that STILL offers awesome gameplay, it just looks bad if you play it today. But recently I downloaded jDOOM and its just incredible. Same gameplay BUT in high resolution, improved graphics, 3D sound...

In same way HL1 offers awesome gameplay but soon the engine will feel way too old as we get used to all new source, doom3 engine games..

valve said they already did that.
Would be funny to play sometime after HL2

 

[gulo]

so will they offer it as free download?

Isnt the sven coop team going to convert all them maps into hl2 aswell as converting hl2maps into coop maps?

 

[SPCDixon]

I still think it'll be included in the Collectors edition. Thats just me I guess.

Sure you can convert HL1 maps into Source, but you'll have to redo about everything to have it nice looking.
You can only use the mapgeometry, and even that is a bit low res compared to HL2 maps.

You can use the HL2 scientist, the G-Man, and half of the aliens that were in HL1 reappearing in HL2 and some weapons.
You will have to model the rest from scratch.

sounds like a cool idea, but its basically like making another game.

 

[Xcellere]

Two years, three months and six days.

Im gonna try it as a home project once i finish HL2, personally i think the file size would be too large, plus Gabe said somewhere that only about half the original monsteres would be coming back. Nihilanth HL2 style would be cool.
