>near daily update to the test branch>apparently porting 2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2>potential teasers/arg for HLX addedYou ready?
Cant wait for the update sized update (Forma de Half-Life)
Yippie can't wait for every single mod to break and none of them can't ever be played anymore because if this update adding one more pixel per texture like happened with skyrim
please don't take another dump on me 20 years later gaben
>>692552209>>apparently porting 2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2got a sourcerino on that?
>>692552325calm down, they will have a beta branch to spare mods just like they did with the 25th anniversary of half-life.>>692552293yeah its pretty cool>>692552369fuck bloodlines
>>692552408i think mcnigger said it, cant remember
The most overhyped game ever, I barely finished it - it's so boring.
litelrally who givessd a SHIT about this boomer slop lmao
>>692552472>Tyler Do you have anybody who is actually reliable
>>692552491Nah I think its pretty fuckin cool. Whats your favourite game?
>>692552525Doom 3 and Riddick the same year are much better.
>>692552509you tell em "[SAD NEWS]"
>>692552512I think the info came from datamining so its not really a matter of him being reliable but more if they end up doing what was found. I honestly can't remember if it was him though, I heard it on some video i was watching about the update. Probably him.
>>692552509Video games owe a lot to boomer games, kys zoomie
>>692552369It's not like paradox/activision would do anything to celebrate it's anniversary besides some dumb fanart and a tweet anyway. Shame though, best rpg ever made.
>>692552643dead lame ass boring boomer games need to stay in the past. HL2 sucks ass in 2024porting it to source 2 isn't going to make it suck any less ass>boring linear cinematic fps>lame gimmicky physic puzzles>stupid unfinished dumb story*yawn*no better than the latest gaylo slop, yearly CoD single player campaign slop or ubislop.
>>692552509Me, It gives me another reason to replay it.
>>692552209>>apparently porting 2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2let hope they do a better job than what happened with hl: source
>>692552209I'm not expecting anything drastic except for a bunch of bug fixes and such but I'm hoping that they'll combine HL2 deathmatch with HL2 and add more maps to it.
>>692552710Paradox gave up on the IP anyway and they're proceeding with VtmB 2 out of contractual obligations at this point.
>>692552209Cant wait for all mods to break ala steampipe
>>692552846Yeah I saw that article. Fucking embarrasing. I mean we all knew Bloodlines 2 was going to be shit after ditching mitsoda and schaffer, but just coming out and mocking the original and then saying oh god willing this one sells we are just going to throw the ip away. Hope parashit goes under real soon. They won't survive the upcoming crash, thats for sure.
>>692552209>Anniversary Updatei already played this
>>692552874Old version will just be moved to a beta branch like HL1, what is this fake outrage over?
>>692552209An another half life 2 20th anniversary update thread died for this.
>>692552803>I'm not expecting anything drasticThat's reasonable but even then the HL1 25th anniversary update was pretty big.
>>692553034play it again
>>692552209Why does Gordon look like such a Chud. Based.
So I guess Keighly is finally going to get HL3 for the game awards this year. Can't really top that I guess, might aswell end the show.
>>692553293I think HL3 is still ways off considering there's Deadlock coming out. Though it's Valve we're talking about, years of silence then suddenly multiple games came out from them right off the bat like it's no biggie.
>>692552209Will they be free like HL1 was last year?
>>692553517Almost guaranteed, Valve tends to do that to their legacy games the moment a major update event to said games comes up.
>>692553639Great, i will finally own HL2 legally lmao
If Valve doesn't put out an SDK for Source 2 on linux (which they've had since Alyx, and was the near entire reason for moving to Source 2) I think I might have a fucking aneurysm.
I hope we get new maps designed by Valve.The four maps they made for the HL1 annuversary were all kino.
>>692552209I'm ready
>this game is bad because its not as good as games that came after it and built on the foundation it set up ???
>>692553758>haha im brown/yellow
>>692553813They better put out SDK for Alyx too, modding is fucking hamstrung by lack of code access (though what you can do with just vscript is pretty impressive)
According to LEAKED files the next half life game whatever it is has a semi-open world like Biding Illness games
>>692553067What did they add there?
>>692554743I'm going to be completely honest, it's almost entirely down to the competency crisis with windows users.If your game isn't "Sonic" modding talent is just not there. In no thanks to there no longer being real communities to actually share mods anymore, but still.And as much as I fucking hate to say it it's getting to the point where even the Sonic Communities are getting ruined.
>>692554743I think they're holding off the SDK until the secret HL game releases. That way they'd have an engine for top down shit (Dota), first person shit (CS/HL), third person shit (Deadlock), VR (Alyx), and whatever wacky phyics nonsense they implement in the new HL game.

>>692554736A whiteoid stealed the original game plus old and unfinished assets, thougheverbeit
Their online portfolio references a ‘Project White Sands.’ Their specific role isn’t mentioned, but Chandel lists Project White Sands as a Valve production.What is it? White Sands is the area where Black Mesa is too...
>replay half-life 2>realise how boring it is, 2/3 of the game is "that area"thanks volvo
>>692552209It might just be HL2 RTX related? Although Portal RTX had an entirely separate listing.
>>692555535That's still WIP. Won't be in time for next month.
>>692555535That would be a separate depot on Steam DB. These are updates specifically to HL2.
>>692555426>Lying about playing a 20 year old game you can get for a quarter like 12 times a year
>source 2i'm gonna miss accelerated back hopping. does anyone know if source 2 at least maintains the air acceleration/air strafing mechanics that hl2/tf2 have?
>>692555402It's the working title, allegedly. People speculate it's Half Life related because of the white sands/new mexico connection.
>>692555829It's completely understandable why you'd come to the conclusion that it magically became impossible but no, Source 2 can still make use of the Qphysics player controller, and how the player controls in Source games has EXTREMELY little to do with Havoc physics outside of extreme edge cases like custom player controllers built around the ragdoll physics simulation, though largely because of the nature of physics simulation that should largely behave similarly under Rubikon.
>>692552437>beta branchShould've just split the thing into two different AppIDs for ease of use.
>>692556007Did they just recreate most of the physics quirks with rubikon
>>692555535Nah, highly doubt it. Thats unrelated to Valve.
>>692552738go back to brown bricks in minecraft, zoomer
>>692556032Reiterating: The Qphysics player controller DOES NOT make use of Havoc physics.But, no Valve didn't set out to specifically recreate any sort of niche things that happen with the physics engine, but it is likely that similar things could happen as a result of simulating physics.
>>692552209I'll take any console port gabe's got, one of the few times you'll see a console king beg, so enjoy it while it lasts, PC friends.
I just want another single player game from Valve.
>>692556197>>692556007Honestly based on the way OG source devs have talked about the quirks in those games (in speedrun commentaries and other such sources), I get the feeling that they don't actually care for that stuff whatsoever. Like even rocket jumping in tf2 seems like it might have been an accident, beyond the most rudimentary form of it at least. It's kinda sad that physics and movement quirks which make games 5x better are often unintentional mistakes by devs
>>692555127They recently hired a Rockstar dev who handled Euphoria physics supposedly to work for Source 2/Rubikon, that's kinda exciting.
>>692556197>>692556007Hey Tyler. You type exactly how he speaks.
>>692552209all I want is Xbox like sound for PC version https://youtu.be/EPhvFzhPuUw?si=zC5L9dyzqHkMy9VS
>>692556379Do we have a list of all the new devs they hired. I know they were all level designers or a physics dude like the rockstar one.
>>692556407so you just want the speaking to be coming from a different area and muffled?
>>692556492glorious deaf retard
>>692552209>apparently porting 2, ep1, and ep2 to source 2i wouldnt get my hopes up
>>692556315Look I'm trying to be nice to you here, but TF2's air controls (and source's standard player controller) were made that way deliberately. It's probably the second most annoying thing about Source 2 having to explain this shit over and over every fucking time. The only other thing being that I can't make fun shit for Source 2 because Valve won't release the fucking SDK or even mapping tools on Linux.
>Tyler The Cuck in this threadlol
>>692556727he seems like an alright guy, why does /v/ hate him.
>>692556727Nobody gives a fuck about Tyler McNigger you retarded faggot, kill yourself immediately.
>>692556419Nta but it's people from Insomniac, Sony Santa Monica, and Naughty Dog.I get it with Insomniac considering they made the Resistance series which is a Half-Life ripoff sorta, and they have experience with applying wacky weapons in their games (Ratchet and Clank and Resistance) so why not. I also get it with Naughty Dog because say what you want about The Last of Us but the combat encounters in those games are pretty good so I get why Valve wanted some of their talents. As for Sony Santa Monica, I have no idea why they bother because they don't make shooter games (except that one time they made Six Days in Fallujah) so there's no transferable skill available from there that I can tell.
>>692556812Mcnigger is a rabid gossipmonger shitstirrer. The faggot mellowed out but back then he was a literal menace.
>>692556836cared enough to reply
>>692556812McVicker is half the reason valve doesn't interact with the community anymore (the other half being the TF2 community update incidents) and that's not an exaggeration. The shit he was doing to valve employees bordered on stalking.
>>692556949>the other half being the TF2 community update incidentsEh, the TF2 situation is a little more complicated, because 'Jill' doesn't really want to accept responsibility for essentially murdering every TF2 sub community for Uncle Dane, fucking up a bunch of weapons to appease comp players/youtubers (A venn diagram that's basically a circle)L4D is a better example since the community for that is such unparalleled cancer that all the servers go down maybe like once every couple weeks, and they didn't bother with the L4D2:S2 launch since they figured it would be completely unusable within hours.
>>692556867>>692556949>thinking 1 youtuber has had this big of an effect on a billion dollar companyTylers not influenced anything at Valve. He's just a passionate gamer, they couldn't care less about anything hes done. Valve just never communicated with the community in the first place and infact they've been doing it more than ever recently.
>>692557547>they couldn't care less about anything hes doneThey literally had to hire someone to be on staff 24/7 to reply to him so he doesn't spam their mail server to death, and Jill had almost been fired for leaking the TF2 codebase to him.
>>692552209Valve has made more bad games than good games.
>>692557639>They literally had to hire someone to be on staff 24/7 to reply to him so he doesn't spam their mail server to death, and Jill had almost been fired for leaking the TF2 codebase to him.Your schizo fantasies aren't real Tyler. They never hired someone to 24/7 monitor you. Grow the fuck up.
>>692552209wow hype!!!!!! this time it's totally different than the other hundreds of times steamdb was updated in the past 18 years
>>692557767You illiterate subhuman wretch, the fake contact in at steam isn't "monitoring" him, all he does is reply with fake leaks, so he doesn't harass the people that actually do work at Valve.
>>692557872It actually is though
>>692557872Their online portfolio references a ‘Project White Sands.’ Their specific role isn’t mentioned, but Chandel lists Project White Sands as a Valve production.
>>692557639Absolutely vile go outside nobody cares about your opinion on this close your channel
>>692558116same as it ever wassame as it ever wassame as it ever was
>>692557547Laidlaw literally had to speak out because of a retarded gossip he spread.
>>692558557>influenced>gets censored by valve
>>692555898>
>>692556407A fellow audiophile! I too enjoy audio more when it's muffled and highly compressed.
>>692557872>>692558424Yeah HL2 has never received multiple test branch updates on a daily basis multiple times a day anytime recently. It's 100% the update, its literally the same pattern as the HL1 update.
>>692557917>>692558557Tyler, NO ONE AT VALVE CARES ABOUT YOU OR HAS TALKED TO YOU. You are nothing to them. They litearlly do not even know who you are besides that one time they were forced to acknowledge you because your fake l4d3 leak got picked up by news outlets. Notice how the only time you were acknowledged is when real journalists mentioned you by mistake. I get it, you want to fantasise that you've had some effect on the world or this company you invested your whole life into, the reality is, you haven't and you never will. Just move on bro.
Half Life had a documentary, brought back some old stuff, and had some new DM maps.I wonder what Half Life 2 will get. I doubt a documentary is in the cards.
>>692559546Half Life X
>>692552209>You ready?Been itching for another playthrough. Source 2 engine with all episodes in 1 would be amazing excuse to do so.
>>692559546Judging by last year, a documentary on Half-Life 2 development, quality of life fixes for the game, and new maps to HL2 Deathmatch. I hope they update HL2 Deathmatch with new maps considering 2024 Source engine mapping is wildly more sophisticated than it was in 2004.
It's too soon to announce HLX, they will do it next year
What did they add for HL 1’s anniversary?
>>692552209>porting 2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2fucking doubt
>>692552509Nice bait
>>692561713https://www.half-life.com/en/halflife25/
>>692560083>39 GotY awards>28 wins and 13 nominations across various prestigious awardsThat was considered an extraordinary achievement back in the day while nowadays people throw out Game of the Year awards like candies. Look at games like Elden Ring, Last of Us 2, or The Witcher 3 which won like 300 GotY awards each or something.
>>692552209My body is ready, as long as the cake isn't a lie.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvw6ZxKtGRs
>>692556843need to see the resumes for each to be certain what they're working on
>>692552787This is why I doubt it's getting ported to Source 2, unless they keep literally everything the same on the surface.
>>692552437>fuck bloodlinesfuck YOU
>>692552209>apparently porting 2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2I sincerely doubt it. Too much work, adding new assets, animations, etc. They underestimated the process of porting Source to HL1 back then and they ended up scrambling for like a year to get it out which by then was still fucked anyway. They won't bother this time considering they can just make another game anyway.
>>692553293This is Valve we're talking about. HL3's store page will appear on a random Thursday on Steam and nobody will think it's real.
>source 2but source 2 is piece of shit
>retard zoomies are unironically believing in HL3 becuase some e-celeb (McNigger) said sowhat a sad and doomed generation you fucks arehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt0w9YP_wZ0
>>692565505I dont need to believe mcnigger. I can look at the code myself.
I'm still not sure what Valve is doing with Source 2.Source 1 was at least an option for some 3rd party developers, therefore we got VtmB, Dark Messiah and few others.Nowdays, devs all use either Unreal and Unity, and Source 2 is kept in the dark. No one besides Valve itself uses it. What's the Valve's endgame?
>>692566041that faggot Garry uses it
>>692565140You retards think everything is a piece of shit unless it’s from japs
orange box 2>deadlock>hl3>deckard ai wife
>>692566041Their vision for Source 2 was for it to be as modular as possible and as easy to use as a paintbrush. Quite a vague statement from them but there it is.
>>692566041>What's the Valve's endgameSource 2 has real physics as in the next game released on it will have wood which burns at a certain temperature

>>692566514facts are for low iq people
>>692566154how is not shit when walking into water in CS2 causes huge fps drops even on machines far above the recommended configuration?
>>692553758Sucks to be you i own the Orange Box since the beginning.
>>692552209>source 2I hope not, it's going to run like shit.
>>692555898>pic
I’d rather have an Artifact update.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>692566842????works in my machine
>>692566842I get 400+ fps in cs2 on every map in every situation. You probably haven't set your PC up properly.
so we are finally getting Half Life 2 2? Bravo, Gaben.
>>692570217idk I think its pretty cool they are celebrating the 20th anniversary with a big update instead of just some gay fanart. We should probably positvely reinforce this kind of behaviour in the industry.
>>692567157What
>>692570217There an approximately above 0% chance of it now with the White Sands leak
>>692566842I get massive FPS in Source 2 games, but it does require a fancier GPU that supports the latest technologies if you want to use all the features like the smoke, lighting, etc.
>>692570656>smokeWill be VERY important in valves next game
>boot up half life 2>10 minutes of alex and kleiner talking in a room while all i can do is run around and interact with that mini teleporter thingI remember now why I never recomplete this game.
>>692552209
>>692570595The Arrival with Charlie Sheen is literally a Half Life Adaptation before Half LifeEven Charlie Himself literally looks like HL1 Freeman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgUy9wwVQQsEven the Aliens are totally not Vortigaunts and there is a "G-Man" not wanting the world to learn the secret.
>>692570920sections with heavy not-cutscenes are almost entirely isolated in their respective chapters
on one hand it's games i've already played but now they'll run worseon the other hand, there will finally be good games to benchmark source 2 with
>>692570920Because you're an ADHD zoomer retard?
>>692552209>apparently porting 2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAjust like they're porting tf2 to source 2 right?AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>692571119Man it sucks that this movie had a shitty sequel and a not so bad game adaptation/sequel prior to Half Lifehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecAyNC4nvqo
>>692552209>Source 2Doubt. It would take a lot of effort to port a game to an entirely new engine, I doubt Valve is willing to put that much effort for a 2 decade old game. It's more likely that they'll just upgrade HL2 to CS:GO's Source branch.
>>692571563TF2 not having Source 2 port makes sense since Valve will have to update 5 millions hats for the higher polycount player models.
>>692570539I want to point out that Valve unlike other corps doesn't charge for 'remastered' updates. Those Tomb Raider re-releases are embarrassing.
>>692571563Porting tf2 to source 2 is far more difficult
>>692572678pretty sure they've been developing a tool to do this seemlessly as possible and these updated versions are a test.
>>692572869Riot pulled it off with League
>>692552209I'm ready.
>>692574976because league is riot's golden goose
>>692552209>include hl2dm into base game menuoh yeah we so back
>>692555162That was a russian, not a white person.
>>692575928I'll take it. I don't think Valve ever updated HL2DM at all since release even so a new update on it would've been great.
>>692552209Would be cool, though I just replayed them all in VR so I don't think I'll do it yet again even if they port them to Source 2.
>>692552738what are you even doin here?
Is there a mod that lets me skip the parts where they lock you in a room so characters can talk to you yet? It makes replays suck when I kinda just want to kill stuff.
>>692579321Why do you need a mod for that? Just select the next level from the menu.
>>692579426There are some parts where it happens mid level though
>>692579321Cure your adhd because it is 20 minutes all combined throughout the game and they are essential for the pacing and atmosphere. But in case of persistent zoomerism you can access the commands at any time. Just noclip through obstacles during "cutscenes" or fast forward with timescale. >bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; host_timescale 6" (fast forward/skip things)>bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; host_timescale 1" (go back to normal)>bind <key> "sv_cheats 1; noclip" (explains itself)
>>692580180It's not necessarily an ADHD thing I've just seen them so many times I'm tired of them. I remember no clip fucking up the scripting sometimes when trying to skip them and didn't know about the timescale command, thanks.
>>692578520I'm here to talk about good gamesHalf Life 2 is not good>old>gimmicky>boring>linear>lame>only held up by boomers nostalging for their teens/early twenties, pcbros and steamiesif HL2 was released today it would be seen as a linear corridor movie game that feels more at home on Basedstation
>>692570920Just skip map.
>>692552491HL1 is better.>>692552509Every shooter after copied it so you're also a slop eater you fat nigger LOL!!!!!
>>692580830who said I played any fps ever made after Slop Life 2?
>>692580938You're mentally ill, and that's a good thing.
>>692572869>Valve will have to update 5 millions hats for the higher polycount player models.A. Why would they even bump the player modelsB. Porting models is the least annoying thing to do with Source 2, the only thing that sucks is porting maps.
>>692552209Port HL1 and the expansions to Source 2, Gaben fatass lardfag.
>>692582540You've seen what happened when they ported 1 to Source, right?
>>692582698that was twenty years ago
>>692552491a lot of games are more overhyped
>>692582807Yeah and they were in their prime back then.
>>692556213>one of the few times you'll see a console king begSonykekes and Nintendorks beg for each others games all the time, PCGods get to play them all 4free.KWAB
>>692552209I just finished playing HL2 including ep 1 and 2 in VR. I'm good. Nothing is going to top that experience.
>>692552580lmao
>>692584512basedthe magnusson devices were so frustrating
>>692570920just put on some family guy clips on the other monitor of fucking with the teleporter gets boring
>>692554885They added the classic Valve intro, remade the main menu to the OG style, added the playable demo in the menu, shit ton of fixes, better grenade physics, and the ability to disable texture filtering for a more pixelated look. Probably a lot more stuff but that's what sticks out to me.
>>692552209>>apparently porting 2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2Last time Valve tried porting their game to a new engine it was a total shitshow. Unless they actually put effort into it then I'm not sure about thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFHb2yIUkA4
>>692582698>>692586249The issue isn't porting, it's Valve not caring enough to test shit when updating. If you go back and try the old 2004 version, Half-Life Source is petty good. It was Source engine updates creating regression bugs that has left the modern version such a mess.This happened with GoldSrc updates in base Half-Life as well. A big part of the HL 25 Anniversary update was just fixing regression bugs. Half-Life 2 itself has also suffered from Source engine update regression bugs, most famously the dropship turrets not correctly turning to target players (allowing players to spawn-camp dropship soldiers), or the Entanglement escape sequence not having the elite soldier shoot his energy orb at the teleporter (so it's less obvious that the slow teleport event was due to the teleporter blowing up).
>>692586249>Last time Valve tried porting their game to a new engine it was a total shitshowIf you're referring to CS2, quite literally the only issue is Valve can't just put in the Turtlerock/Hidden Path maps, and the mapping scene for maps that don't belong to them are already at work remaking their stuff for Source 2.
>porting 2, ep1, and ep2 to source 2Why? Who asked for this? Just going to ruin the charm of the originals, as if SteamPipe and the 2010 update didnt ruin it enough
>>692588168Because skibidi retards will look at gman and play them
>>692552325>like happened with skyrimthat happened with HALF LIFE 2 dumb ass
>>692552209>HL2Inferior to HL in every respect.
>>692588168>Ruin the charm of the originalsDon't tell me Half Life 2 now has a cancer of retards pretending to be oldfags for a fucking SINGLE PLAYER GAME.
>>692553104I probably will, last year I replayed it in G-mod.
>>692552509A fucker like you, since you did reply in it.
>>692552209I'm gonna laugh so hard when this turns out to be a total nothingburger update (not source 2) and we once again learn nothing about HLX, or we learn that it's years away.
>>692588504HL1 has some of the worst feeling weapons
>Half-Life cubed>Portal cubed>Team Fortress cubed>The Orange Cubebecause theres three of them each being the third game and a box is a cube
>>692589064hl1 glock one taps damn near everything in the head which already puts it above most of hl2's arsenal
>>692589219>hl1 glock one taps damn near everything in the headThere is absolutely no reason to lie this much
>>692588556What the fuck are you even talking about? The only newfag here is you because you clearly don't know how Valve's fucked up the games over the years
>>692589321I'm saying that I certainly hope HL2 has a bunch of pretend oldfaggots crying about the 'modern version' like how TF2 has a fucking epidemic of faggots that joined during free to play shrieking about the gaym balance and ortstyle.Especially since it's a fucking SINGLE PLAYER GAME, that you can use SteamCMD to easily download the pre-steampipe version.

>>692556949>The shit he was doing to valve employees bordered on stalking.they unironically deserve to be stalked since they refused to communicate anything for 2 decades, they are a videogames company not an aerospace developer, their secrecy is not only stupid its insulting
>>692552209>apparently porting 2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2Absolute bullshit, Valve would never put that much work for something so minor as anniversary
>>692566154Japs engines are even worse than a piece of shit
if they got ported to source 2, that'd be coolbut how would it impact the VR mods?
>>692552209HL Alyx no VR
>>692594089We don't really have an analog to compare it to, but I'd imagine it'd be as much of a non-issue as Alyx updates have been to no-VR mods.
>>692589259lol you haven't played the game in a while if you think that, the only thing more overpowerd was the alt-fire slow bash on the crowbar
>>692595512I played it again last year, the glock does fuck all and even the shotgun feels weak. The only nice feeling weapons is the revolver and crossbow.
>>692589321>how Valve's fucked up the games over the yearsHow did they?
I recall a remake/remaster project aside from the rtx one but I don't remember the details
>>692595845You're thinking of Half-Life 2: Remastered which is by the Half-Life 2: Update guy. It's bringing HL2 and the episodes to the CS:GO branch of Source. Other than that there's been no news about it and it's not even technically announced yet, but people found the Steam depot on SteamDB for it.
>>692596285That dude probably got hire by Valve to make it official.
>>692552209What is it with old shooters that I can play them multiple times and not get bored? Crysis 2007, HL1 and 2, Portal 1 and 2, DOOM 1993, Quake 1 and 2 just to name some, I have probably played them to completion hundreds of times and still enjoy them.
Not videogames. Fuck off.
Will he return after nearly 25 years?
>>692598889Valve hates the Gearbox Expansions. They've even gone out of the way to say Barney Calhoun is not the B. Calhoun in Blue Shift, they just happen to share a similar name.
>>692555147We used to joke about turning that valve and he starts leaking out the nose and eyes. Such memories.
>>692552325Source mods use separate Source SDK 2007 or 2013, newfriend
>>692552209NOTHING EVER HAPPENS
>>692555147He's probably never coming back. Remember that he already came back once for the sake of Half-Life, only for that project to go nowhere. The CS:GO Hazardous Environments music kit released in 2015 was probably made from the scraps of what he had made for the failed Half-Life project.
>>692598705Oh shit, you are right, let me make a twitter /pol/shit thread real quick.
16 years later and retards still cope that GabeN will ever release it lmaoretards
>>692598705I want (You) to make better bait!
But seriously, what do you realistically think this "White Sands" project is?
>>692589640>epidemic of faggots that joined during free to playStopped reading there. Get off your ass and play the game or shut the fuck up.>>692595830In 2010, Valve patched HL2 to have Episode 2's content. This included the newer combine soldiers, new fire effects, and just QoL changes. It was arguably a sidegrade as the physics were worse and the fire looks worse.In 2013 SteamPipe was integrated and it broke just about everything. Combine no longer made sounds when hurt (this has been fixed), people no longer blink, and the skyboxes were destroyed along with lighting errors (this can be seen if you play HL2 update).While its nowhere near as bad as HL Source, it certainly made the game worse overtime and a port to Source 2 will just destroy it even more.
>>692602780>Stopped reading there. Get off your ass anNIGGER THE ISSUE IS OUTSIDE OF THE GAME. EVEN THEN>HE'S SO SLOW AT POSTING HE CAN'T POST ON /v/ AND PLAY TF2 AT THE SAME TIME
>>692552209>>apparently porting hl2, ep1 and ep2 to source 2valve putting effort? LOL I don't see it.
>>692603271Who are you quoting?
>>692603948Using quotes to derisively describe people is both intended and acceptable usage, fake ass retard.
Oh boy another version of HL2. What is this, the 3rd or 4th now?
>>692552369Even now there is no RPG with facial animations as good as bloodlines.Fuck man I wish there was more vampire kino
>>692604003No it isn't newfagEnjoy the 3 day vacation
>>692552209Will they make it more woke than it already is or not? Just curious.
>>692552209hl2 sux0rz
>>692552209If it's actually HL2: Source 2 I will cum.
>>692604437I know isn't it exciting?
>>692552509it is the last old game to care about now that everything else has been revived and raped back to death. once HL3 has been thoroughly raped all xillennials can finally be laid to rest.
>>692606425Why? I doubt they’re redoing huge swathes of art. It’d be like, slightly different physics. Bug fixes. Maybe some lighting changes.And if you just want grafixx, HL2 RTX is also in the works.
>>692552209https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jczk-nF3gHA&t=1s
>>692552209Seems too good to be true, but if they really are making a S2 port then they should release the S2 SDK along instead of expecting people to use Garry's shitbox.
>>692607295Lighting changes are enough, as evidenced by CS2 maps that weren't redone at all (Mirage, Anubis, Dust 2, Ancient). But even if it's just a "Final Cut" of the source engine that will be used by HL2 RTX and any future other mods, that's equally as exciting for me.
>Half-Life Alyx ends with a cliffhanger>They're already doing voice recording for White SandsIs it really happening this time bros? Are we finally getting Half-Life 3?
>>692586029FUNC_VEHICLE!!!!
>>692608000I don’t even think HL2 RTX could be done on Source 2. IIRC RTX Remix only works on games that used fixed function GPU hardware, so like DX8/9 stuff. It needs the old renderer to intercept API calls and stuff.
>>692586029They also fixed some regression bugs, like the Surface Tension barrels not shooting up to the correct height, or the Blast Pit tentacle and scientist animations being desynced from each other.
>>692602590cocaine for gaben
>>692607840they won't do that because they want their own Roblox style game that can be monetized in a similar way
