Here it is! I'm really happy with this one, more than even the first one. Unfortunately, I think I have to take a break from Half-Life for now, as I'm kinda burning out on it and especially these types of videos. I will make more of them in the future I think, just not now. Next week's video will be about Half-Life again, but it's another "One Perfect Enemy"-episode. So, do look forward to that :)
1:35 Corpses fading out is a flag that can be set on any character in the games independent of the German censorship, and Blue Shift has many enemies set to fade out by default as a performance optimization originating from its Dreamcast roots that wasn't changed in the PC version. Regular corpses are also seen disappearing in Half-Life and Opposing Force, but this is primarily relegated to ones appearing in large and open areas that were considered performance intensive for the time.
That makes a lot of sense, yeah. There were still a couple instances where I don't think it made any sense, though (small, cramped corridors where performance optimization is easiest). Also, I'm honored to have you comment on my videos!
yes, but the german version does not fade away a corpse but a living NPC just before it dies. It kind of freezes in the first frame of death and there is no gibbing. In normal half life the actual corpses and gibs fade away after some time, after the animations are done playing, and that is how the flag works, you can check this out in Sven Co-op. This german version is clearly modified from the engine itself since said flag works differently.
I always found the English version of Otis to be kinda endearing. It's like if a midwestern dad was taking you on a fishing trip and then shooting you for 60 damage because an alien was behind you
oh god i absolutely adore german otis, in the scene where he is fighting the vending machine his "hhmmhmhhh schokolade :3" sounds like a child about to dig into a basket of halloween candy.
12:56 _"Unlike in Half-Life and Blue Shift, they're all humans. I guess because they realized that no one wants to play as a nameless, emotionless killing machine that commandeers around other, lifeless killing machines. No, instead you play as an American marine! Totally different."_ As an American who legally has to sign up for Selective Service, I felt this.
@@kingding9542 If you don't sign up it can prevent you from getting employment and government financial assistance. If a draft is called (extremely unlikely) and you didn't sign up for selective service then you can wind up in jail. That's why Clinton and others draft dodged their asses to other countries.
@@kingding9542 Depends on the situation. If you KNOW you won't have anything to do with the US Federal Government until you hit ... thirty I think? - you MIGHT be able to get away with not registering. But student loans, buying property - getting married. Yeah, there are tons of ways for them to catch you. I suggest just sign it. If there's a draft, we are all ROYALLY screwed regardless because no party or politician wants to even suggest such a thing unless shit really hits the fan. Echos of the Vietnam war resounding down the ages.
we have one of the greatest dubs (right after metal gear solid 1). Barney sounds even more bored and unexcited alyx has a very intresting accent and father gregory well you see
I like how they kept the spirit of "rise and shine" in HL2 intro. First it's a generic "good morning", but repeated slowly, it becomes "become great and have an impact on the world"
I think the two soldiers in the Blue Shift Sewer Section aren't just using human voices, but also the human model - meaning that the german version of Blue Shift implies that both robots and humans were send in. With Gordon exclusively encountering the former, Shepard the latter, and Barney primarily the former with overhearing the latter. Hard to tell, but they didn't seem (at first glance) to possess the robot model. The mighty power of noclip could resolve that mystery, of course.
@@GermanPeter Fair's fair. I listened to a Ross Scott interview recently; he said he didn't complete Black Mesa because Half-Life felt like work to him b/c of all his work with Freeman's Mind
You could interpret the robot soldiers as mech suits that can operate independently or be worn by people. Though their model doesn't absolutely accommodate that, it would explain why they sometimes bleed or talk like people and sometimes not.
1:38 The corpses fade out in the american release as well. It's a flag you can apply to any monster(NPC) in the game. I map for Half-Life 1, so I know this for a fact.
Kinda interesting, the reason why they translated "Barnacles" to "Muschelwesen" at 18:50 is probably because they translated the word Barnacle directly. A barnacle is an animal which grows on the underside of boats and other surfaces which are submerged. I guess they didn't bother to just come up with a unique name for the alien in German
Did you notice that no matter what language the character speaks, the facial-rig tries to follow it? And damn it does a pretty job! The Goldsource engine still amazes me to this day!
Couldn´t help but subscribing to your channel - love the Half-Life vids. I recall, back in the day, when Oppsing Force and Blue Shift first hit shelves, the german gaming-magazines being all over Otis. It seems you weren´t the only one rly liking the guy (and his VAs performance in the german version). Another funny fact was the original german disc release of the games. After Valve started Steam, you could register Half-Life, Opposing Force and Blue Shift via the gamecode printed on the manual. Now, if you set Steam to english and downloaded Half-Life - voila - uncut international version of the game.
The reason the soldier mentioned Mech-Units in the transmission in Opposing Force is because it's the same transmission that Gordon receives when designating bomb targets in Surface Tension. The canon is that you're seeing the guy on the other side of the transmission. In the German version they completely bork this because in the original it was a robot saying it with a robot voice, but in op4 they rerecorded it with a human voice (despite it being the same line).
As usual, great quality! I don’t mind you making a video on half life 2 but I’ll refer it’s on your own decision as I love videos that you randomly make because you’re interested in it.
"Ahh da isses ja endlich!" I was waiting for a part 2 of the german versions of the expansions! We all gotta love "die blaue Verschiebung" und "die oppositionelle Kräfte". Also I now want Barneys German Voice to voice everything in the games, the voice actor for some reason just grew on me, I still reference the line with "Da isser ja endlich!" (As you can see from the start of the comment) I would love to see a Half Life 2 Video, since a bit changed since the original Half Life and Half Life 2 in terms of censorship, so it'll be interesting!
Ich liebe dich Peter. You are truly an inspiration for me as a fellow german youtuber. The type of videos you make, and especially the high quality of editing and writing is exactly what i aspire to create. Mach weiter so!
The reason why Blue-Shift has the Grunts English, is because in the original German Half-Life, they modified the sentences.txt file to remove all the Grunt lines, but in Blue-Shift, they forgot to change the sentences.txt file. They also forgot to change the violence.cfg file.
Will never get enough of comparisons between different versions of games, whether they be from different points of development or different localizations. Would love that German HL2 video.
There was a way to unlock the blood in the German version of both Half-Life and Blue Shift, but the soldiers still were robots. Instead of guts and bones gears were flying everywhere
In Blue Shift, they we're lazy about making special script sentences for the german and french language, so thats why the hecu and vox speak english. And also i guess we'll never get a German quirks of Decay. Sad. But okay. Im excited to see german quirks of half life 2.
i'm definitely in the "make a video about german half life 2 and episodes" ballpark. those versions are weird as hell if only just for the.... Strange voice acting, let alone the Everything Else
I'm definitely interested in a video about Half-Life 2. I always knew the HECU soldiers were replaced by robots in the German version, but seeing what exactly the changes were and how ridiculous it all really is is something I didn't know I needed.
21:54 Upon reaching this part of the video, I had flashbacks to playing HL2 via Garry's Mod, because when I loaded up the first map, G-Man would be speaking German! I am not German, I do not entirely speak German, I have next to nothing to do with Germany as a country, but he still said the intro in German.
Guten Tag "GermanPeter"! new subscriber here. I love your content especially because I'm German & a massive fan of Half-Life. Your videos make me feel at home & comfortable, as well as helping me to learn German since I'm still practicing to become a perfectionist to speaking German & English on the same day. Vielen dank! 💗 - Collin/DaPandaBoy
@@JM-mg4el Sadly yes, I was born in Germany and only lived there for 1 year or so. Moved to Canada then when I grew up I mostly got used to English then German. Making my German pretty rusty, over years I have learned to properly read and speak German. But with these videos I can understand more German and probably learn some new German words :)
I just realised what might be the case of the Low pitch thing. Half-Life - Human Grunt Speech System and Lines watch?v=YfoTP0Yyidk my guess is that line was supposed to have the Pitch value set to p100 but someone made a mistake and set it to p70.
I think the reason the guards voices change is because theyre trying to make so that the guards dont feel like clones, like the guys on Gordons sector are having a shitty day while the guys on Barneys are having a good day on work
I think for a lore explanation that definitely doesn't need to exist, we can just say the robots are mech suits that can either work purely autonomously or be piloted by a human. So the ones that bleed/talk have humans in them, but the ones that don't are just robots.
Danke für das schöne Video. Es war sehr lustig wie du die beiden Sprachversionen vergleichst. Übrigens: als ich die Stimme der Wissenschaftler / des Ansagers des Transportsystems gehört habe hatte ich einen Erinnerungs-Flash. Ich wusste sofort dass ich die Stimme noch von wo anders her kenne, aber nicht woher. Den Sprecher hatte ich schnell gefunden. Er heißt Peter Cornelius Engel und viel Radiomoderation gemacht. In den 90gern hat er auch bei einigen Spielen seine Stimme geliehen. Leider war in keiner Liste etwas dabei woher ich ihn noch erkannt haben könnte. Heute morgen beim Frühstück kam es mir dann. "Diablo 2" Ich bin zu 99,99% sicher das er den Charakter Warriv spricht. Das ist der erste NPC der einem im Spiel im Lager der Jägerinnen begrüßt. Leider finde ich nirgens eine Liste der Sprecher der deutschen Sprachausgabe. Daher auch nur zu 99,99% sicher.
I really want you to tackle that trainwreck of a translation that German Half-Life 2 is!! Btw Barney's voice is just so hilarious "Muss noch ein paar Leute verprügeeeeln"
Hey .. there is a very interesting choice in the german RTS Conquest Earth version where they replaced the human render with black monsters if you happen to stumble on the race selection screen of the german version i would love to see that creepy thing again it horrified me in my childhood
14:30 that particular door at the ending training course is a scripted easter egg. if you try to open it too many times, the announcer insults you. most likely an oversight.
Honestly, i expect that the localization team only got access some of the tools, or rather, they didn't know how to use them, and that's why there is so much inconsistencies between the games. Like, they only knew how to change a texture or a model, but didn't know how to completely replace a map entity, or change the scripting on a sentence. I also would not be surprised if the only reason they went with robots for enemies initially, was because HL1 already had a robot model packaged in. The only real editing work they did was for the animations, and that might have been coordinated with valve themselves, explaining why the expansions didn't get the same kind of tinkering. Or maybe i'm just rambling, anyway, this sounds like a dream project for some small German studio that just really likes Half-Life, who maybe didn't know what kind of deal they were getting into.
Great trip down memory lane! Excited for the eventual Half-Life 2 video. I think the original Half-Life 2 dub was the lowest point of Valve dubs, with the episodes improving ever so slightly. After that the quality took a noticeable step up with Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2 being the peak. Just a shame, that the Last Stand Update makes playing L4D2 in languages other than english inconsistent, due to the re-added unused voice lines not having been dubbed.
Here’s the questions, when are we getting a POSTAL video? Definitely deserves a video from you. I feel it would fit amazingly with this type of format.
19:32 maybe he meant "mech-units" more like "mechanized infantry" which is actual term in the military? But I can't speak German, so maybe it is a little bit stretch to interpret it like that.
I can't wait for you to cover the differences between German HL2 vs, well, regular HL2. I played a lot more of that game than HL1 and its expansion titles.

Or maybe i'm just rambling, anyway, this sounds like a dream project for some small German studio that just really likes Half-Life, who maybe didn't know what kind of deal they were getting into.
Great trip down memory lane! Excited for the eventual Half-Life 2 video. I think the original Half-Life 2 dub was the lowest point of Valve dubs, with the episodes improving ever so slightly. After that the quality took a noticeable step up with Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2 being the peak. Just a shame, that the Last Stand Update makes playing L4D2 in languages other than english inconsistent, due to the re-added unused voice lines not having been dubbed.
Would love to see a hl2 video, it can only go up from here. Good stuff by the way keep up the good work
I have a Steam library full of games that would send you to prison. Du wurdest für immer in das Gefängnis Leben.
of course I want to see your video about Half-Life 2
corpses fading away for no reason happened to me in the original version too
Otis in English is amazingly funny though. He's perfect and I will not hear any slander!
Here’s the questions, when are we getting a POSTAL video? Definitely deserves a video from you. I feel it would fit amazingly with this type of format.
9:20 Fühlte mich bei "Stullen" wieder wie zuhause.
i would gladly know more about those german quirks, do make more of these!
Imagine if the Texas line in OPFOR was localized to say bavaria instead
I thank the author so much for providing both English and Gegman subtitles for us. I learned a lot of German words and phrases through this video.
Warten hat sich gelohnt! Ein Video zum Deutschen Half-Life 2 wäre auch nice!
19:32 maybe he meant "mech-units" more like "mechanized infantry" which is actual term in the military? But I can't speak German, so maybe it is a little bit stretch to interpret it like that.
I can't wait for you to cover the differences between German HL2 vs, well, regular HL2. I played a lot more of that game than HL1 and its expansion titles.
I speak just about enough German to get very excited when I can identify the mistakes in the title cards. Genau wie Duolingo!
