Half-Life - Resonance Cascade Evolution
Ойындар
Guess who is in a Half-Life mood (again), but doesn't have a VR headset?
I wanted to compare one of the most iconic events in gaming between two versions of Half-Life: the original and Source port, and two versions of HL remake Black Mesa: a free HL2 mod from 2012 and full retail release from 2020.
There are some noticable differences across all four versions, like different lighting, different sounds, different voice acting.
A shorter, "spliced" version: • Half-Life - Resonance ...

There needs to be a half life where the experiment goes right/gets completed. I just want to be able to go everywhere in black mesa with every door unlocked and see every sector undamaged

The control room operators just decide, "Screw it, run it at just 100%, we don't need the extra resolution."
However HL evolved, they still have the 105% to get a better resolution.
I love how in the original the test chamber starts going dark only being illuminated by the green laser

All the scientists did. They all began to sing the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. song after successfully causing it.
"It's a bit of the gamble but we need the extra resolution" Me: Yeah no shit Mr. 144 pixels
No one gonna talk about the scientist that tells someone to get Gordon out? That guy was a chad.
I really like how they replaced one of the scientists voice with Kevan Brighting, the narrator from The Stanley Parable.

Pero en black mesa suena como un ambiente apocalíptico
One of the scientists in the 2020 version has the same voice as the narrator from the Stanley parable!
I think the OG one compared to half life source is scarier. The lighting is just...eerie. Very unsettling. Makes it feel like a horror setting, and it is. Black Mesa's original form was just way too bright, but it's final form was at its absolute peak! It looked better and the bloom control was handled well
I hope someone releases a VR mod for BM1.0, I’ve played a VR Port for the oculus quest of half life 1, and it was really fun
Half-Life Source is kind of an insult really. Might as well play the first one like an OG... Or Black Mesa if you want the up-to-date look and feel.

I will admit that I prefer the klaxon in the original game. There is something so industrial about it that really sends home just how devastating the event was.

Mostly overhauled lighting and effects, slight differences in map design and some props, new voice acting for one of the scientists in the airlock, and of course a glimpse of Xen in that "teleporting around" sequence.

In addition to what MaxBaik said, the game overall is massively overhauled. Black Masa 2012 was a more of a effort to remaster the game a little bit, whereas the 2020 release is a massive overhaul of the lighting system, some of the maps and beyond. Plus ALL the completed Xen levels, if I'm not mistaken.

no it's not. several details have been added to the maps, voice acting has been tweaked or changed, some npc interactions have been tweaked, lighting in a lot of areas is noticeably darker and higher-quality, and you get teleported to the bullsquid pool in xen during the cascade
