Resonance Cascade in Black Mesa and BM: Blue Shift - Synchronized Parallel POVs

Ойындар

Same idea as my previous videos - synchronized points of view on a single event in Half-Life storyline - but now showing how it was depicted in Black Mesa remakes by Crowbar Collective and HECU Collective.
I just couldn't walk past many different optional interactions and scenes in both games, so Gordon and Barney might come off as a bit of procrastinators here.
And of course I couldn't resist and had to modify in-game resourses to get custom "status" messages, even though it's a bit more difficult in the current version of Source engine xD
20:9 aspect ratio was chosen because apparently in-game captions are using screen height to determine their width. For some reason. When I first recorded in 960x1080, captions just didn't fit the screen. And when I tried to record in 1920x540 for horizontal splitscreen, captions area was narrow, and title text like chapter names and character introductions weren't displayed at all. So, 1200x1080 it is.
Because my PC isn't powerful enough for Black Mesa, I had to go and use a different PC. Recorded footage got corrupted several times, and I had to start from scratch a couple times (I blame my external HDD).
Longer loading times were both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because now the perfectionist in me wasn't compelled to record and sync it all in one take like in previous videos. A curse because autosaving screwed me after a failed take in BM:BS, forcing me to re-record it from the beginning and to make a manual save after every map change.
Also, the footage was recorded in 60 FPS, but, once again, my PC isn't powerful enough, so I had to render it in 30 FPS. And despite the fourth render attempt being the only successful one, it still found a way to screw me a bit by sending the first few seconds of BM footage into Xen.

    Now with chapter 4 release I should probably say that I don't plan to make a follow-up video until the (hopefully) whole mod is released.

    51:50 That's the best moment. Not just the alarms blaring and feeling distant rumbles but also seeing Guards rushing somewhere in a panic. I don't think that particular Elevator even has a window, it's just open. At that point I'd have hit the E-Stop and climbed out.
