You're probably noticing it more prominently in the early PC footage because it's slowed down, that "flinching" animation plays when you shoot a Metrocop that's standing still and still plays in the latest Steam builds. Perhaps you've noticed the ragdoll physics? Sometime after the Steampipe update the code for the ragdoll physics was affected and became more "exaggerated" Almost every scripted physics scene has exaggerated and unrealistic physics, the train in chapter "Highway 17" knocks you off of the bridge if you don't swerve to the left, but in real-life you would be swept into the tunnel.

My PC in 2008 wasn't new at the time. It didn't represent an actual gaming PC from that era. It's just what I had. I'm sure there were PCs in 2008 that ate HL2 for breakfast at 1080p.

4k makes sense when playing old games but honestly 1080p with AA looks optimal anyway
