    pure gold. in bars. so much design work. the fact we even got a game with this amount of meticulously crafted and thoroughly play-tested content is insane, and having it deconstructed like this is honestly a master class in linear game design, even 20 years after release.

      I find it humorous that there's all this effort and yet really blatant quirks like the flashlight and sprint draining the same battery and the shotgun being able to "fire both barrels" still made it in

    2:27:15 not going to lie, the sound they had for the gunship in that early build footage they showed.. got to be one of the most chilling things I've heard in a video game, The thing sounded like it was coming for your soul.. kind of.. should have could have would I guess. It definitely was helped the bizarre intimacy of the giant barren desert scape, being a lot less creepy on the boat.. But still what what a disturbing noise that was.. kind of which they had leaned into that element, rather than the the more X-Files, traditional cosmic tones they went into with the overseers and whatnot.

Same place, like the sniper commentary around 3:20:39 is the last one I can do in my play through. I loaded save from before, and again, it was the last one I could do. And I started getting achievements (previous time I played HL2 fully was ages ago, and I think there were no achievements, so I had none).

    • @karhu7581
      @karhu7581 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It's not, if I understood what they said correctly. The foliage was placed at random spots *when the level is compiled*, meaning when it is converted from the dev map editor into the form that the actual game runs. The shrubbery is at the same places in every released copy that is running on the same version, but the foliage was not placed manually by the level designers.

      It's so interesting how despite that the game didn't really feel rushed to me. A big part is that they weren't afraid to entirely cut an element if they couldn't make it work right, so everything that is in the game feels finished, the stuff on the cutting room floor is the half-baked stuff that the game is probably better without.

      either that or the engine repeating the same part of the sample over and over until the rest is streamed in.
      i guess what we're hearing are the cases where the 125ms chache sample was not long enough and io capacity is choked with something else, like level- or asset-streaming. resulting in the typical source engine audio stutters.

      @karhu7581 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      A lot of the early commentary nodes were pretty broad stuff about the context the game was made in and the overall technical aspects. The issue is more that the commentary is frontloaded, they ran out of broad stuff to say. Also it's 20 years later, it's tough to talk about something you did two decades ago.

  • @JackWse
    @JackWse 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    3:08:45 oh no it absolutely breaks stuff... As if you continue on to the final sequence, there can only be three turrets in the section, and the required turrets to start the sequence, end up either disappearing or dropping through the floor or something.. either way it completely makes the sequence break if you carried them over past the level transition... I can't remember exactly which sequences break from that in addition.. But I do know that final one does.

    • @Wasper216

      @@vnratc6926 It is a bit strange as Gman pretty directly says he 'earned it' in his end HL1 speech, which then the suit is gone in the beginning of HL2.
      So from Gordon's perspective Gman say he can keep it and then takes it anyway. Obviously Valve did it for gameplay reasons and to be able to frame and set up the world in HL2, which would be hard if the Combine saw some dude walking around in a HEV suit.
      I've always interpreted Gman stringing together the events to get him to it in the lab, as being his way of letting Gordon keep it.

    with these anniversaries and how forthcoming valve has become about Half-life by producing 2 deep dive documentaries and releasing this mode I get the feeling that the devs have matured to a point that they know they don't have much time until they retire, and they themselves have stated that it's damn sad how things went for half-life over the years. I don't know, maybe it's wishful thinking, but maybe Valve has built up the confidence and insight they need to finish the job
