Thanks for the short review. Btw the maps filesize is larger because I have included both HDR and LDR (default lighting). So if someone does not like the HDR effect, you can just select HDR to none in the video options. Since you mentioned Cascade Shadows Maps and other effects ... very possible in the next version... and probably for the Episodes as well. Thanks for playing!
@copchie because. Just because. Actually, Valve couldn't make better graphics and higher texture or shadow resolution because the original game released in 2004 and 1)it must be packed in CDs (650 MB)/DVDs (4,7 GB, more, but less popular format, still many cd drives); 2)computers in 2004 were much slower than today. look at DotA 2 and CS:GO, these games look pretty good right now, they actually made things better since the HL2 release So, if HL2 would be released today, even on source 1 engine, it could look better or equal to the HL2 Update
I got half life 2 for Christmas and I finished it about 3 weeks ago and im playing it again and it feels so nostalgic even though it hasn’t even been a year since I played it
So, replaying Half Life 2 now, did I miss something or did they roll this into the base-game? Because I could swear my HL2 looks like it does in this video!
Looking at the base games patch notes it would seem a good amount of this has been added over time to either the base hl2 and EPs(and therefore its mods) , and some others may have been added to the source engine as a whole in updates over time. The shadow example doesn't exist now when comparing the two but there are still differences in the updates code overall, even if the biggest, more obvious or easy-fix changes and improvements it made have been ported over time into the base source engine: but the update still increased the resolution of lightmaps, skyboxes, etc, bug fixes, and other tweaks updated in the actual files. The changes included in the base game are the engine ones like the shadows, and possibly HDR(lost coast) being implikented in base game maps (it appears to be a video setting now)
@@BRoyce69HDR has been in the base game since 2007; it just is less pronounced than HL2 Update. In fact, several maps were accidentally compiled in HDR-only mode, resulting in them being fullbright in SDR mode (a bug that doesn't occur in HL2 Update).
why the heck do you not have atleast 10.000 subs on TH-cam? Your content is helpful and fun to watch at the same time, i realy like it btw, even if i'm not the most active guy on youtube, i will try to stick arround. Cheers
I like the remastered version of Half Life 2 very much, but I wish someone would make a mod ultra realistic mod wherein you can kill anyone (citizens, Alyx, Barney, etc) and the ability to shatter/break anything glass.
you missed out particles. There are the fly effects, explosion effects on the falling chimney in the canals, and bubble effects out of a grate in the canal level that had all the manhacks and the explosive barrels
Yes, but those already had some explosion effects, (even if it were only sprites) and it didn't show quite the beauty of them I feel. But it is still without a doubt a good video! :)
I feel like the bit about HDR is a bit misleading. As far as I know, you can only really take advantage of HDR if you have an HDR monitor, if you view HDR content on a normal monitor it can look different than intended I think.
just got done playing HL 2 update, is their a HL 2 episode 1&2 upadte available? not seeing it if their is btw great video informative and funny at the same time
There isn't much known about a version for the episodic games. However, HL:U's developer has stated numerous times on the steam forums that he's busy with it.
Hmm... good video. The way you present it is somewhat too long though. The first 2 minutes, for example, all that I need to know are the light map, introduce H2U, and comparisons to the original. It would be much shorter. Another one is the title, it's somewhat misleading and I thought it "could be" another rambling before I watched. I was searching for H2U vs H2/H2 difference. Tweak your keywords, you should earn a larger spectator.
Glorious Rigby like this one. I hope you will watch this video and answer me if Valve removed this ability in these new update th-cam.com/video/Lj_RQYYrX90/w-d-xo.html
Honestly, this is the first time I heard of this glitch. I'm not sure of the developer had fixed the glitch or not because I haven't tested it. Also, this updated version of HL2 is not made by Valve.

sempai, i love hl2 update and with hl2 MMod its beautiful, like a new hl2 experience
@@loquendoexpertPoop do you mean MMod? Google found no mention of "Nmod".
@@InfiniteDarkMass yes, MMod
Who cares about the filesize, this game requires 7GB space, this is nothing compared to the games we play all the time
Even today Half-Life 2 looks really great and has amazing performance
I still play 15 years later over any new game
I got half life 2 for Christmas and I finished it about 3 weeks ago and im playing it again and it feels so nostalgic even though it hasn’t even been a year since I played it
A high quality chnnel like this, deserves more than 936 subs!
almost double now
Lmao yeah it only at 1600
This version paired with mmod looks amazing!

Oh wait, you got the 1k subs, congrats
Good stuff, loved playing this mod!
One of the most interesting/usefull videos I've watched about Half-Life 2
that existential crisis at the end
10/10 would recommend
Very nice update on all over this game. With this update, I don't think we need a remaster nor a remake anytime soon for HL2 XD
imagine your pc running this
Great video thanks for taking the time to review this mod
I have two questions:
1) Is this compatible with the MMod?
2) Why is there no "Update" version to the episodes? or is it simply unnecessary?
1) It is fully compatible with MMod! 2) Last I heard was that Filip was working on it. But that was a while back.
Great video! I'm glad I subscribed! :)
OMG it’s the real one!
Good video! Are you the same host as the one from Lamda Generation channel? Sounds similar.
I like the remastered version of Half Life 2 very much, but I wish someone would make a mod ultra realistic mod wherein you can kill anyone (citizens, Alyx, Barney, etc) and the ability to shatter/break anything glass.
Play gmod lol

YOUTUBRE IS BROKIN!!!
Very well done video.
Well no thanks I prefer the origina...wait.... Did you said Ross Scott ?
I'm currently doing a HL2U walkthrough on Hard, got to Nova prospekt so far
I wish you good luck, soldier!
Most confusing level out of them all
you missed out particles. There are the fly effects, explosion effects on the falling chimney in the canals, and bubble effects out of a grate in the canal level that had all the manhacks and the explosive barrels
I talked about it briefly in the video. I showed off the new explosion effect at the gas-station in 'Highway 17'.
Yes, but those already had some explosion effects, (even if it were only sprites) and it didn't show quite the beauty of them I feel. But it is still without a doubt a good video! :)
Oh yeah....the sweet particles. Wave splash on coast rocks, explosions, smoke, certain fire stuff.... and probably more but I have forgot :)
HL2 Mod that adds Cascaded Shadow Maps, Godrays, Volumetric Lightning and other effects actually exists.

It was very helpful, thank you

I was interested until this gravity gun popped up.
In my opinion it's way too shiny compared to its normal look.
This isn't the actual gravity gun model. I just realized I had a custom model installed. Don't worry!
Oh.

The community commentary is very nice but Projared was a good choice back in 2015. And now it feels a bit weird

@@GloriousRigbycool cool ty for replying & answering my ? was wondering, keep up the good work man
ROSS.
SCOTT.
Idk if its Filip's work but hl2 remastered was found un steam base.
Let's hope they didn't patch ABH (accelerated back hopping)
I hope the devs of this will make Half-Life: 2 and/or Garry's Mod in Source 2
My boi over here. I might do a video on the performance differences on a crappy computer. (That's if you don't want to do one)
The stage is yours!
@@GloriousRigby Thank you! If you're interested I'll post it on my channel NariVlogs which is now called Nari
How does the vr work for the mod?
Has anyone experienced very long load times in the update? (My computer is powerful enough to comfortably run the game.)
Why 360p ??
The video just got online. Give it some time :)
Levdar The Psycho dude, it have 480p - 720p60fps now
You had to wait for Video: Update to get 1080p
Thanks for the video. Downloading it from steam now! What's the music in the background at around 2:50 and again at 3:40?
All music in this episode has been done by Future Joust. The song playing around those moments is called "Follow The Trail".
@@GloriousRigby Thank you thank you thank you!!!
yaas
is this update in GMOD too?
bro sounds exactly like lamdba generation.
Who’s LambdaGeneration?
@@GloriousRigby ah. a popular half life youtuber. he makes content like this showing mods. you should check him out!
and there's MMod witch is what I use
Try using the update + mmod + reshade and cinematic mod
does it fuck with the gun sound effects? or is that just Mmod?
well, better late than never
I recommend Half Life 2: MMOD, which requires Half Life 2: Update. I think it's really worth it.
Well, MMOD comes with versions for every Half Life 2 game, including Update. So technically, it does not require Update.
Heroheenie Yea, I found that out recently. I’m pretty sure it used to though.
Hmm... good video. The way you present it is somewhat too long though. The first 2 minutes, for example, all that I need to know are the light map, introduce H2U, and comparisons to the original. It would be much shorter.

Yes
Do I must to get the original Half Life 2 on Steam to get this update for free ?
11'th comment and like!
(edit): wow still 0 dislikes
And still
Does it update episodes too?
No
now its launched nmod and its amazing with hl2 update
do you have to have half life 2 installed on your pc before downloading half life 2 update
Nope, it's completely independent! You do need to own Half-Life 2 though. But it doesn't need to be installed.
can i transfer my save files from steam half-life 2 to hl2 update?
Well, once you bought the original HL2, you can HL2 Update for free
Do they removed the bounce shot ability of Crossbow in these new update ??
I don't think it has been fixed. But I could be wrong.
Glorious Rigby you know that Crossbow have a bounce shot off of wall or floor right ?
Glorious Rigby like this one. I hope you will watch this video and answer me if Valve removed this ability in these new update

Glorious Rigby I don't think it's a glitch. It's real. The arrow could be bounce away when you do that
It's exactly the same as original Half-Life 2 it looks no different
There are minor differences throughout the 2 games
Ending 80's song title please gd sir?
It's called "Breaktime" by Future Joust.
