The History of Goldsrc Games
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 เม.ย. 2022
- Here's the small history, and description of every Goldsrc game to ever come out. There's quite a few.
Discord: / discord
Goldsrc was the first engine that Valve made, but tweaking heavily the Quake engine, and that produced amazing results. Goldsrc would also run several other games, most of which are still played today. The engine has an extensive modding community with many mods being made for every game.

G-Man does appear in Blue Shift in the opening tram ride, but never again. He's also in Decay in a similarly easy-to-miss appearance in the intro sequence.
were there any GoldSrc ARGs back then?
oh my gosh richter undertale real????

The GoldSrc engine was way ahead of its time indeed, the fact that booba animation was implement for the Female Black Ops Assassins
Bro da hell y r u talking about that boing boing thing
Marphy black told me its true
The ancestor of whatever the fk the kind of engine that genshin uses
@@AsianEspionage Probably Unity or Unreal Engine.
how the hell I find you on every valve video
There's something magical about Goldsrc. It can't be explained.
I love these low hq jpg skyboxes. They look so cozy
Its called nostalgy.
It's the smell. Goldsrc games have a wonderful smell
They remember you about HL and CS, that's it.
@@proof4469 yes thats not weird at all
Actually the ammo dropping mechanic in TFC is surprisingly valuable.
It doesn't just discard ammo, it drops ONLY the ammo you CANNOT use as your chosen class.
This allows you to share ammunition with other players, and is EXTREMELY helpful to engineers as any class excluding the pyro does not use the engineer's energy ammo.
Engineers also can use other ammunition types, such as shotgun shells and rockets, to reload their sentry guns, or to fill dispensers with.
Another mechanic is that each bag explodes when in range of the engi's EMP nade. Each class can discard ammo once per resup but engi's can drop more than 2 or 3, I don't remember. Basically you could use the bags as mini bombs.
This should be in tf2, would be very useful for engineer
It's also good for when you need to cap quickly, there are some fortress forever vids of them throwing down a bag of grenades/ammo and grenade boosting away, so when they come back they can quickly pick up some more grenades
As spy, you could drop the bag near your body for believability. I tricked MANY people back in the day when I played this game.
TFC was such a good game people forget how controversial it was then they say that tf2 wouldn't have grenades
Fun fact: You can literally use shotgun as Spy in TFC. Imagine a class specialized in stealth instant kill also got this weapon in their inventory.
Can’t go invisible so I guess it balances it out? Either way it’s glorious

wasn't it for more believable disguises?

I love how goldsrc and source feel like they have their own visual style that all games made in them share.
Also the engines themselves feel like they have their own community that plays many of the games in the engine
There's also a game called Tutus made in Goldsource, that was basically an educational program that taught people work safety. The thing that makes it interesting is that there's no builds of the game available online.
Now im interested. I want to see this in action.
Fun fact, tutus is latin for "secure"
If enough people know about it, it'll be found.
"Sorry Barney you're not important :(" That felt hard bro.
Ah, Gunman Chronicles.
I remember being impressed by the game cutscenes, and especially that Brontosaurus the first part of the game. Which is pretty impressive for Goldsrc.
probably one of the best one in my book.
hmmm
Ok nerd 💀💀💀
heyyyy i know you :))
It's the Touhou man.
wait you also watch half life?
I had no idea they did a 007 game in goldsrc. Informative content, as always!
avgn covered it in an episode iirc lol
Yeah but the game is garbage. The weapons feel crap.
Play the console ports if you're interested. Gearbox really butchered it on the PC port by using Goldsrc instead of just porting it as is.
@@LunaPhobos
I tried the Xbox version, but it doesn't have an aiming sensitivity slider, which made it unplayable for me. I few games on console didn't have it back then. Now Half-Life on console, what a perfect port.
@@Amadeus_Eisenberg I had it on Sega Dreamcast. It was the best shooter for DC hands down despite only one thumbstick.
I believe that in Decay, there’s a way to swap between Gina and Colette, if you’re playing solo, which also apparently makes the game a lot harder, since they both don’t do anything when you’re not controlling them, so they’ll just let enemies kill them.
At least in the original PS2 version, they WOULD fire back but that's it, you have to awkwardly go back and forth to move them.
There are unused lines indicating you'd be able to tell them to wait/follow you like security guards but it must have got cut.

I remember this game called Firearms which was meant to be a multi-player military shooter, and it had these badass military war zone type maps, some of them you even started in a helo or a cargo plane and you had to paratroop drop into the map. But the best part is, you as a single soldier carried All the guns. Like over 50 guns in 8 or 9 different categories to choose from, and swap to in match, plus all the grenades and everything. Full ammo.
It was awesome. Except I had (have) no friends so I would just run around and pretend and lay down ""suppressing fire"" to absolutely no one, but my 13 year old brain could still pretend things at the time so yeah. Anyway that was a fun gold source game
Firearms was and in a way, still is, epic - it even had custom model and sounds packs and bots developed for it.
It even had a sequel that had like a billion development hurdles along the way and sadly noone plays it anymore.
You didn't however "carry all the guns", You did choose which gun you'll be carrying, can't remember the system in full, but yeah.
The game was pretty customizable, so at some point I even hosted a "realism" server.
@@JonPL well when I played by myself, I had all the guns, but I very well could have just put in Sv_cheats to 01 since it seemed to work on most of the half life (gld src) based games I had at the time. But the memory is a little fuzzy, I mightve just had an older build of it cuz I never had any bots, we would just play it at my dads work, on the office computers in a LAN setup. But yeah, memories hazy since this was 22+ years ago when I was a young teenage dude so you're probably right.
Dude I did the same thing... 😅
Oh I would have loved to have bots for this game.
Can someone even find a video? Ot sounds cool
Wow I completely forgot about Firearms. I remember joining a clan and playing with them for a bit. Was this the mod (I played several HL mods so I forget) that had the Omaha Beach map?
It's worth noting that Ricochet is very highly reminiscent and resemblant of TRON, including the movies, comic books, TV series, and video games, such as TRON 2.0, which is an FPS game and is the absolute best and greatest TRON video game ever developed and published. It is a totally and deeply underrated classic game.
Wish they made a remake that actually used its concept to its fullest
What's funny about the Gold Src engine now is that after more than 20 years, it's probably been long enough that someone might make a game using it, purely out of nostalgia (look at Ion Fury using a polished Build Engine). Though 2004, when Condition Zero (and Half-Life 2) came out, was around the time when the engine was old enough to be considered obsolete, but not old enough to be considered retro. I would definitely play a new game with a polished Gold Src engine, that's worth playing of course, haha.
If I remember correctly, there is one part or scene in Half-Life: Blue Shift where you see G-Man riding on a tram or train between two platforms that you have to walk across by activating and lowering the draw bridge above a canal in order to cross and progress in the game.
🎶 C U M 🎶
Cool fact:
CS:O was very popular in Taiwan back in the day,it has micro transaction just like CS:GO but you can also buy new guns like Winchester 1887 from it.
There are also new characters to choose (the girls you saw on the website) and a whole new zombie mode with it’s own story line and unique weapons
But the publisher Gamania got a bad name from adding way too many micro transactions and gambling(like 0.01% to get what you want) so it kinda faded away in player’s memories
is not just "pay4win" game?
@@user-cg9pz6xo6d is Pay2Win 還有我可以說中文的 XD
Day of Defeat still has a pretty active multiplayer community. I highly recommend people check it out - it’s such a great game
4:08 There are two reasons you might want to discard ammo. One is that someone else on your team needs ammo, so they can pick it up (some classes didn't do much shooting in TFC, like the Scout). The other reason is that the Engineer's special grenade detonates all the ammo anyone in the radius is carrying. If you're not carrying any, it hardly does any damage at all.
Thanks for coming to my old gamer TED talk.
Please do a video about the history of the source engine ! (and maybe split it in 2 part)
The ambience and sound effects of original goldsrc is like ASMR for me. Those games bring me back to a time when I didn't have to pay any bills, and my biggest worry was not forgetting my memory card at my friend's house when everyone went over for Resident Evil parties
4:35 fordan greeman
"In both Blue Shift and Decay, the main characters of each game, Barney Calhoun and doctors Gina Cross and Colette Green, see the G-Man on one occasion near the beginning of each game, but he either doesn't seem to notice any of them, or he ignores them. This suggests that he either doesn't have the same interest in them that he has in Gordon Freeman and Adrian Shephard, or he was too busy."
I still remember those cafe internets that had those broken cracked goldsource game like deathmatch with opposing force weapons, the weird "the simpsons" counter strike skin mods, the cool and kinda broken Wanted mod, and the dragon ball z mod that still baffles me to this very day
Tell me about the Dragon Ball Z mod
@@concept5631 It's name was "Earth Special Forces". Cool mod
@@RandomJD thank you
About that "discarding ammo" from team fortress classic, you do it because you drop metal for your fellow engineers. The ammo count stays the same. A thing that tf2 doesn't have.
Gunman chronicles is pretty much just Unreal
Thank you so much for adding subtitles for the entire video! So appreciated.
Opposing force goes hard.
Thank you for hearting my comment.
This was so nostalgic, what a trip to memory lane! I find you very funny, being so monotone w/ the funny clips and great editing. Good job, you got a sub 🎉
fun fact: gman is in blue shift. *he's always watching all of you're move.*
Never stop making these type of videos man
Love your content :D
Your videos are so laid back and entertaining i cant put into words how thankfull i am for you making them.Keep up the good job!
I really like this new type of content you're making, keep it up
ricochet looks like a really fun game, if it had a playerbase it would be incredible
People who never experienced the golden age of HL1 mods have no idea what they missed. If you bought Half-Life in 1998, you didn't have to buy another game for the next 6 years. The mod community made just about game you could want, including single player campaigns that were as long as the original game. It was wild.
If you can find a way to play They Hunger, Peaces Like Us, or Heart of Evil (the only HL mod endorsed by Satan's throbbing purple cock) you won't regret it.
Darkstar
@@Daimo83 Darkstar was made by the same guy who did They Hunger. It was really good it doesn't even compare.
@@jarvy251 good times with my PC Gamer UK CD's back in the day
That era ended thanks to Steam + VAC imo
If you buy Doom 2: Hell On Earth now, you don't have to buy another game for the next 666 years.
Gunman chronicles is hella underrated
Subbed! Love videos on these older games even if i have never played them but they brought me back memories for some reason lol
csol is basically CS1.6, but with A HEAP OF CRAZY ARSENAL, also you don't buy weapons in game like classic CS, instead you aquire guns and sets up loadouts before matches just like COD games
Not video related,but i just wanted to say that the humor in your videos is fantastic. All the random meme voices and the way you say jokes with the same calm tone is hillarious.
Thx mate.
3:05 By that logic, even Half-Life (and all following entries using the same engine) is a mod for Half-Life since it lives in the "valve" game folder and the install dir only contains Goldsrc engine binaries.
Maybe, in a way, we are all mods for half life.
That 9:12 horn alone earned you a sub
If you’re going to talk about licensed source games, I recommend these. Perhaps you could focus on single player games for one video, and multiplayer for another.
- Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (Single player)
- Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines (Single player)
- The Ship / Bloody Good Time (multiplayer)
- No More Room in Hell (Single player / co-op)
- Insurgency, and subsequently Day of Infamy (multiplayer)
- Stanley Parable (Single player)
- Pirates, Vikings, and Knights. (Multiplayer)
- Fistful of Frags (multiplayer)
- Dino D-Day (multiplayer)
- Dystopia (multiplayer)
There’s so much more I’ve played or heard of but these are the ones I remember the most.
I'm pretty sure the list of source games I found includes them, but I don't know how that video will go considering there's like 60 source games.
@@LamWarp DO IT
Technically titanfall 1, 2 and apex use A heavily modified source engine. I think they deserve at most a quick mention.
Postal 3
@@Leo_8753 postal 3 is certainly a game, but I wanted to list good titles. Postal 2 and its DLC still live in my memory
Legend back with his legendary content!
I'm craving for more of your videos your editing is superb
Counter strike Condition zero is my favourite game because it was the only one I had growing up. The expert level in that game was genuinely difficult and took me years to beat. Ahh old times. They pass so quickly.
Really enjoyed this video 👍Well done
Gina and Collete from HL: Decay, they are the scientist supposed to deliver the correct crystal to Gordon Freeman. But their crystal are flawed, which led to opening of portals randomly (mind you, in Half-Life Lore, they do this a lot of time already, and on Gordon Freeman first day, things went south) .
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, nicely done!
Finally some quality informative channel, earned a new sub.
i'd be down for a source history video, sounds -fun- long
also, random fact nobody asked for: the main dev behind cry of fear actually went on to be hired by Overkill Software, and eventually worked on the Goat Simulator DLC for a certain "Payment Date 2"
hope he is doing alright for his job
When I was a kid I’d play Counter Strike Nexon Zombies (Nexon: Studio now) like it was my religion because I couldn’t afford any of the real Counter Strike games, I remember enjoying the weird campaign modes and zombies.
This channel is a type of thing i would sub
Great job on the video, I really liked it
Out of all the games, besides the most well known ones made by Valve, Gunman Chronicles was the one that had potential to become something big.
That game had lots of details, unique weapons, very interesting maps, fantastic level design and the story was actually kinda cool to say the least. Plus, it had multiplayer so you can't go wrong with that. Unfortunately there were some dev/license issues that stopped the game from getting more attention because if it was released on Steam, I bet it would have the same amount of players Day Of Defeat has.
On the flip side, Cry Of Fear was the most polished GoldSrc game to be released. I haven't got the time to finish the game but by playing through it and its custom maps, the game is very well done.
With that said, the games that never were licensed by GoldSrc but should have, were Afraid Of Monsters and Resident Evil Cold Blood. Awesome mods without a doubt.
So I looked into Gunman Chronicles and the reason that it didn't get more attention than it did, was that it was kind of cancelled but after it had been sent off to publishing. Valve and Sierra both contracted different developers to do GoldSRC projects, and Gunman Chronicles unlike every other official GoldSRC game we know, was a Sierra contracted one. By the time the game was coming out, Valve had bought back the rights to the publishing of Half-Life, and they were all of the sudden the owners of a game that was still in development but had been fully paid for, so they just let them put it out and then didn't renew their contracts. It even got a physical Sierra Gold release and I actually have that one in my collection to complete the HL1 PC set
@@Randalftown Thanks for clearing that out. Kind of unfortunate that happened. Also, cool that you have a physical copy. Those aren't easy to come by.
Both AoM: DC and RE:CB was made by the core team of Cry of Fear. RuMpel, Minuit and AFAIR the third guy (sry bro, my memory is messy).
These guys ROCKED the fu***ng GoldSrc scene.
Man I remember playing old gold source games with my friends in an old gaming arcade in 2014 to 2017. We played games like Vampire slayer, tfc, ricochet and deathmatch classic. Those days were incredible
This guy's voice and edits doesn't get tired of me. I love watching this guy and never gets me bored
i think this is the best video you made so far
Ricochet advanced the Goldsrc engine by having multiple independent arenas per multiplayer game. I don’t quite remember, but I think it was set up kind of like a tournament, where the winners would be put in a different arena to battle each other.
James Bond Nightfire was one of my favorite games back in the day. I had no idea it ran on GoldSrc… But it makes sense because it was an awesome game. Especially multiplayer.
Nice job on this video, bro!
Have to say, great video and also I really like the thumbnail for this one. I don't know why i just think its a very cool thumbnail.
One game that was going to be made on GoldSrc that I have only ever seen mentioned once in either PC Gamer or PC Zone magazine back around 1999/2000, is Machiavellia or Machiavellian (one or the other). As far as I know it was never completed or released in any form, and it was set to be a standalone FPS based on the GoldSrc engine and made by, if I remember correctly, Maverick Developments, who also made Redemption and Wanted! This was possibly the first ever standalone non-Valve game to be made using the engine.
Not Spanish is Turkish.
I dont know why you put english subtitles, but that is a great idea. For people like me who understand more english written than hear it, is a lot easy for me to watch your videos. And laugh.
Neat vid , now a part 2 for source games seems in order 👀
I played Gunman Chronicles before, back in my high school days. Friends and I played multiplayer at the cyber cafe. It was fun, the gimmick is that the guns can be repurposed. At least that was how I remembered it.
In case you are still curious about CSO, it's basically 1.6 with a lot of pay 2 win and some interesting mods like Zombie1, 2, 3, Escape, etc. Like the CS Nexon Studio one.

I had fun which I didn't have since a long time. Thanks m8 :3
I don't know why or how I ended up on this video or why I would watch 17:50 minute video on everything that I already know, but this video has let me know that TFC is still active during prime time. Thank you. Best 3 hours I've had this year just running around throwing shit at the other guys.

Great video. Me and some friends actually played deathmatch classic a few months ago and there were a few games going on. Somehow it still holds up. Definitly going to check out cry of fear when I have the chance. Also, if you ever do make a history of source video, I will buy you a burger.
13:57 unfortunately to my understanding after 8 years the Indonesian (probably Malaysian and Singaporean version too) were closed officially on 1 August 2019, 10.00 WIB. So many memories on CS Online. CSO you will be missed.
DW, CSO is still alive and well. Just move to studio, since the death of so many other servers things are very synced now. It's like... 2-3 weeks behind KR updates these days.
7:17 I believe this is not only because of nostalgia, but because this game was insanely popular in latin american and other third world countries, like here in Brazil even in late 2023 the game is still very popular and active with a load of full Brazilian servers (and people roasting each other aswell xd), and i believe the same applies to spanish/russian speaking countries aswell
Amazing video, even tho i knew almost all of them it was still fun to watch
The edits made me laugh so hard my neck hurts. 10/10
Also, thanks for the info and nostalgia!
literally the most funniest part of the video 3:46 lmfaoo 😂
5:08 top of the server browser we are noticed
Nice video, I would love to see something similar such as source story in the future
Maybe if I had a few months to spare with how many source games there are.
Thank you for explaining a lot of my childhood mysteries!
I like the fact that half life alyx still has tiny bits of the quake engine code in it
Same
I'm surprised you haven't done a video on Half-Life: The Trap! It's one of my all time favorite mods. I've got a full achievement walkthrough for it on my channel if you end up playing it.
Thanks for this summary of wikipedia, appreciate your hard work and originality.
3 vids in and im already hooked to this guys sense of humor
0:30 This is actually NOT GoldSrc, this is Half-Life: Source, in the Source engine.
I remember back in the summer break after grade 7, I was just trying all sorts of half life mods.
There's a heavily matrix inspired mod, the specialists, that also had a mod within that mod for role play, like think of a very small scale gta5 rp with a deeply flawed economy design that prompts for regular wipes. That was the game I tried some amateur level design. Unfortunately I was also way too obsessed with splinter cell that the map was way too dark for people to enjoy. Probably hundreds or thousands of hours on that.
There's a mod for the American revolutionary war, Battle Grounds, which also was done again for the source engine. Yup, one inaccurate shot, 8 seconds of committed reload, and your only other weapon is a bayonet, or sabre if you're an officer.
There's an Alien inspired mod which has a sequel as its own game, Natural Selection. The running was way too fast and I couldn't get into it.
There's a realism version of counter strike, Hostile Intent. I liked the idea but i sucked too much to enjoy it, with the lack of hud, you reload mags, not total cartridges, bullets are very damaging to the little hp you have, and no hip firing, no sprinting while ADS. I haven't tried insurgency myself yet but this feels like the preceding mod.
Can confirm, all of these mods were an absolute blast. The bullet time and pause powerups in Specialists was incredible, as well as the backflips, dives, and wall jump mechanics. It was done so well.
thx for this video, it was realy interessing 😀
I'm actually glad that you changed your content 🙂👌
6:58 it’s called a mag not a clip
Penguinz0 in the corner
I really think Cry of Fear should have been explained a bit more... I mean in that game you can go up and down stairs like a normal person, in what other Goldsrc or source 2 game can you do that? And yes, in l4d 1 and 2 you can but not as accurately as in Cry of Fear
I wish there was a remake of this game
In L4D you still fly up the ladders if you look at them in a specific way
Except you can't use guns
This is a second day of having sprained ankle,
and I really enjoyed your video and finally found some time to ignore the pain
Already subscribed your vids are awesome
Play cry of fear, god dammit, I am still here waiting for your playthrough
I had so much fun playing Ricochet with my friends at thwe cyber cafe through LAN. Since you could barely stand still in the game within the small platforms, the intensity stayed high. Too bad nobody is playing it anymore. But that's understandable.
Ur so underated bro i hope you will get 100k soon
Bro, you were in the " 150 facts abt hl2"? Subbed
Omg, the joke of the start is so good that my face went from 😁 to 😐
2:52 here's a little correction my friend: TFC isn't the first TF game, TF started as an Multilayer mod for Quake 1 named "Quakeworld Team Fortress" and because TF2's developement was hard the creators made a goldsrc version of the game with a porpose like Ricochet witch is to show how advanced the engine is, there's more stuff about it but that's what you should know. If you want more detail i suggest watching Richter Overtime's video about the developement of TF.
Nice video Bro!
