One could argue that. Different development team, different assets, different engine... just the same story, character concepts, and generally same areas.

Then why bother? It is a waste of time, effort and talent.

I'm curious to know your feelings about Counter-Strike Source and Day of Defeat Source then. Were there any major differences besides better graphics and flying bodies and barrels? Not that I recall.Oh don't get me wrong, they have worked hard - very hard - but the simple fact is, it's just a remake. It is a mod like any other and I challenge anyone to say it deserves more recognition than the rest - it does not, and if you think it does, you are wrong. It is just Half-life with better graphics. That's it. And if it is more than that? Then it isn't Half-life. And if it isn't Half-life, what is the point?
The talent could have been put to so much better use.

samon, I simply do not understand how or why you are saying it is pointless, I'm sorry samon and pi mu rho but your words are shit!
I am with whitezero all the way, as he said it's not just half-life with good graphics; it's a remake of half-life exept 10 times better, I wish you could appreciate that it will be a lot better and even if there are bad things with it, or it dosent completly live up to expectations the devs have put a hell of alot of time and work into it for our enjoyment!?!?!??? and also as he said ; loads of people want it, so I guess we win.
So the awesome Resident Evil 1 and Metal Gear Solid remakes for GameCube were a mistake? Graphical improvement packs for games like Duke Nukem, Doom, System Shock 2 and Deus Ex are all mistakes?
How original does something have to be to meet some of you people's standards? I'm really curious.
It's not a poly-for-poly remake of Half-Life folks.
Oh I didn't realise they were awesome remakes, my mistake!
I never said it was a mistake to make something if it isn't original, just that it is less deserving of praise for lacking said originality.
internet drama
Just to be a nit and a nitpicker, I was asking about the differences between the different versions of the game, so I don't think "multiplayer games" is a valid answer. But just to make you happy, this mod is unoriginal as hell. :farmer:The huge, major difference, is that they are multiplayer games - it is totally different to what is happening here, and Valve themselves made them. The fact that I didn't care for either the originals or the 'source' versions is irrelevant, because your point holds no weight.
Ahem I didn't mention that one of the biggest gripes I have is the viral marketing they tried to do. Viral marketing, for a mod?
Clearly viral marketing.A website with temporary well hidden links to another website?
Wrong. Half-Life: Source is Half-Life with better graphics.
Black Messa is a retelling of Half-Life using brand new models, voice acting, area redesigns, new music score, etc.
It's a way to re-experience a classic, not replay it with "better graphics".
If you want to cheapen the experience for yourself by down playing it, thats your loss.
Yeah, sure! Gabe will cry!And I'm positive that it will trump HL2. Hard.
