imagine being in the valve office and your boss tells you that you’ve gotta pull up pictures of genuine human corpses
Valve doesn't have a traditional work environment though, this was just one guy who happened to have a gore folder that he used
And already having them ready

Think of it that he gets to be in even more mafias!
exactly, eugh.

Imagine asking your colleague to borrow their computer for just a second, and you get flashed with 50 terabytes worth of human corpses

"One of our team members had a nightmare folder of people suffering from diseases and injuries"
I am now officially scared of the Valve developers.
NOW you’re scared of them? I got scared of them after hearing about the tf2 coconut.jpg, though for different reasons.
@@beepboop9313 that was a hoax.
I'd like to meet that developer, sounds like a very dedicated person.
You should see what horrible things the netherealm studios do to get fatalities
@@tailsminishow123 I did look into that a bit. Yikes.
That body has always felt too realistic
And out of place with the burned ones
It probably would've felt more in place if they gave it the actual retail citizens clothes but obviously the face would still be the noticeable part
How about the other charred remains?
I know
Especially next to the other citizen
Imagine Gabe Newell calling you into his office to tell you "look man you gotta stop using the corpse pictures"
Since he encouraged mr friendly and the gonarch, he would probably congratulate you for the good idea
Gabe: "Look man, I'm gonna need you to use more corpse pictures..."
POV: you're Ted Backman
I’m 99% sure that it’s from Iraq Fallujah in 2004, it’s the aftermath of internationally banned white phosphorus burning, there’s a lot of these images on web.
Actually gabe says:bro you had an revolutionary idea thats just amazing keep up the good work
Gotta love the tone of this video
“Yeah this is a real mafia corpse with a melted face. Pretty gnarly right. Anyway smash like and I’ll seeya next time”
I remember hearing how the developers of certain gory games genuinely had PTSD developing them.
Now I know why.
Jesus christ.
Those stories are fake. There's a reason why anatomy textbooks exist, and the "symptoms" that those "devs" said they "have" are only the BASIC forms of PTSD. Everyone has it different.
I guess they never went on liveleak
I don't get how though? Especially the amount of medical photos they just could've used.
@@uncannyvalley3190 That's what I was saying. Every single one of the stories of game developers somehow developing post-traumatic stress disorder from looking at shit like that? That's all fake and set up. No games company would force their employees to do something like that, Lord knows the kinds of lawsuits that would crop up. Anatomy textbooks and medical documents exist for a reason, there is no need to severely and irreversibly cause mental trauma to workers of a company simply to develop a fucking game.
Oooooo I got some real bad news for you. I don't think the problem is as shallow as you think it is.

I KNEW IT! I ALWAYS KNEW IT! Dude, I was like 12 when I played HL2 and stumbled on this the first time. It was in a small dank dark flooded hole with a hidden ammo pickup. It scared the shit out of me! Something always felt off about it. I somehow knew it was real gore from the times I had been traumatized through shadylinks on old internet forums. The the mid to late 2000s internet had no answers on the origin of the texture, so until now it's always been at the back of my head. Between then and now I've googled this exact thing before, like a lingering intrusive thought.
the man in the picture was actually the leaker of the half life 2 beta, gaben decided to immortalize him in the game
XD

yo is that BNRAN
wtf bnran what are you doing here
what a wholesome tribute
bro got burned to death and got turned into a source asset
i mean i wouldnt complain if my remains were used for video games assets after i die
my last wish... use me as a game asset..
a fate worse than death
he probably didnt burn to death its more likely he was killed in some other way and the burned face was just torture or maybe to hide his identity after, its unlikely that would kill him unless it was hot enough to boil his brain.
burnt*
I've gotta say that it is kinda funny how you don't think TH-cam will allow you to show the picture of the body when you have the fully textured model front and center in the thumbnail.
That is funny.
Creators have gone soft
The model isn't exactly 1:1 with the full-fledged photo. There's certainly a difference between showing one or the other. And if he had of thrown that shit up, I would certainly have reported the video and blocked the channel, so he was wise to err on the safe side.
@@cave_dweller6 It quite literally is 1:1, they just covered up the still remaining eye, I've compared the two.
@@cave_dweller6 It is 1:1, I checked both
Moral or the story is: don’t mess with the mafia or else you’ll be burned to death and thousands game nerds will abuse your corpse for 20 years.
More like : stand against any mafia or this world is going to be a crap hole iven bigger than it is now.
If I die in a horrific way I hope at least a picture of that will be included in a video game. Sounds metal af
That's the dream
I remember a band did something very similar, where one member offed himself and another took a photo of it and used it as an album cover. I have a mix of disgust and respect for that.

I remember playing the Half-Life 2 VR mod and finding one of these corpses and started goofing off with it. Looking back on it I don’t what to say now
@@EZ-Flix guess its easy to believe with all the technology humans got that making a realistic body wasnt impossible you didnt had any hints it was an actual dead body

@@EZ-Flix Yeah, I'm playing through the VR mod... This.. changes things...
Whenever I played HL2 I always tried to avoid looking at the burnt corpse. Now I know why. Kudos to Valve and their committed spirit to bring out the realism to such extent.
same, you see it and you dont or barely look at it and move by fast or around it as far as possible. Shocked its real face.
Yeah but it's actually horrifying that anyone in the studio had a folder with such images, kinda makes you think huh

I won't lie but if I'm torn apart in real life, i wouldnt mind someone using me as a texture, it would somehow add some purpose to my meaningless and random brutal death.
yo imdead 💀💀☠☠💀💀🤡🤡👽
I don't think I'd mind, either.
Thats pathetic
@@xeibei4804 ok and?
at least your body has an extra use that isn't planting
I remember always trying to avoid looking at then corpse as a kid. Less so because of the grotesque nature and more because I always got this feeling of uncanny valley from the texture work.. Suddenly that now makes sense.
yeah lol, always felt they were a little.. too real
same, I haven't avoided him but if I've spawned him, I've always had this uncanny feeling and it just didn't feel right. Fascinating how our brain can sense this but doesn't really know it. I can't look at the real image of the man but in gmod it's strange and uncanny but not so bad like the real one...
Right?! They always just felt...off? slightly out of place with the rest of HL2's textures. Never enough to break the immersion of the game, but I always kinda went "hmm, weird" every time I saw one.
Crazy how the body has its own sense of instincts
same
This model always creeped me out. Specifically the one in the sewers that you go through to escape in the begining. There you can actually see it while an industrial unsettling terminator-ish music plays. It looked to me more detailed compared to other corpses. The teeth most of all. Now i know why.
Yeah, those teeth always got me. That model was always way more unsettling than the other corpses and zombies.
I think it because seeing teeth without covered by lips is skary because it remind skull and mounth around remind skull with meat, and in that texture we can really see a corpse, damaged meat and teeth(closest bones what we can see)(and i forget to add earlier->) tooth ache is very hurt so when we see a damaged teeth or damaged jaw, our mind think "damaged jaw is damaged teeth, damaged teeth is very hurt, i don't want to feel hurt, get out of here" and we feel fear
@RelKier_is_jdude I doubt it, it's probably cause the teeth look unnervingly realistic and mutilated compared to everything else the most, so we get an uncanny valley sensation that in a world of mostly nonrealistic, unrefined textures this stands out, and draws our eyes. Doesn't help that the rest of the body is dark and burnt either. Sorta like attaching realistic eyes to a cartoon character. It's not scary cause " oh their poor eyes!" but cause " It is staring at ME, not the screen. " In any other media realistic eyes and teeth would be fine, but in this context it becomes a very startlingly real danger and image that your mind locks onto. That's my take anyways
Corpses don’t look scary. Grow up
@@accelerationquanta5816 What does look scary then?
HL2’s textures are so deeply cursed yet so iconic. There probably won’t be something like it again
Valve has always had something "unique" about their game development.
Extremely unconventional
didn’t know valve liked gore bro wtf
It's hard to think of any other studio that would consider putting an alien that rapes the player to death as its main attack in their game, or a creature that's literally a spider crab with a massive testicle which spits white globs at you
People so mad about balenciaga (rightfully) but don’t realize this is part of the same shit.
I guess you could say they have questionable ethics
This guy made the best deal. Trade your life with the mafia to be apart or even more mafias in dark rp servers.
Eyo COrleone ITS the CAnoillIo
This sounds like a deal made with the devil.
he just had an offer he couldn't refuse
Sounds more like he wished the Monkey's Paw to immortalize him in media.
Honestly if my mutilated corpse wound up immortalized in a popular piece of media, I'd be happy.
Out of all the models, that scared me the most when I was little… crazy how impactful something like this is
why the hell were you playing half life when you were little
it wouldnt be the first time.
during the creation of dead space 1 the art team had to go through albums full of just mangled bodies and real accidents, just to give it that extra touch, when designing the creatures for their world.
i remember reading a presumably deleted article on some gore site, and then suddenly seeing this very image of the burnt man. i was acutally fucking flabbergasted

It actually happens more now than back then. Just look at how proud Netherrealm Studios and Naughty Dog are about the fact they forced their devs to watch gore so they could make violence realistic in their games.
Bruh not only some people have a 1 billion cheese folder.

The only thing deep about Gmod RP is the ban list.
that's messed up ..
yea
@FSRiko And shut up with your kid story lmaooooo
Jesus christ, I always thought the corpse model looked too realistic but I guessed it was just a skilled artist and never an actual corpse
Same I thought it was some skilled artist and didn't care
Most of the textures in Half life 1 and Half life 2 are real photographs
Technically it was a skilled artist because they had to recreate/reference off of these pictures
Well, nowadays artists can illustrate stuff muuuch more horrifying involving the human body than real life can produce. Best example that comes to mind instantly is furries.
@@BusinessWolf1 bullying kids? Duh that's so cringe, get a life

This reminds me of Dead Space and how the devs for that series scoured through countless photos of graphic car crash victims in order to get the Necromorph injuries and the gore.
yeah that's why i'm not surprised. i mean when i saw about dead space, that was awesome because there are a large bunch of gore content. In half-life 2 it's like nothing to me that they used 1 photo of dead ppl
people are so desensitized to violence anyway, it just adds to the realism. people shouldnt have to care if its based off a real image or not, its a godamn video game its just an image either way
What puzzles me most is that people seem to think this is some crazy thing. That the developers were insane for using, and even studying the image. When I can guarantee you that all movies/shows/games that have any form gore in it, has done exactly the same thing. Maybe not just copy pasting the image, but study gore content similar to that they're making for reference.
Oh, sweet Jesus lord. Seriously??!
That's messed up!
I hope the devs are ok...
@@dark13death dead space doesnt use pictures of real dead people. they used them as reference. half life devs did the same thing as dead space devs, except they took it further by using an actual corpse in their game.
also they most likely did this with the other corpse models as well, we just havent found the source images.. i believe theyre using real corpses in half life alyx as well.
Other weird gorey image sources in videogames include Mussolini's body used for a Doom sprite [Edit: turns out it's not true] and the later parts of System Shock 2 had textures made out of one of the developer's colonoscopy photos.
doom never used mussolini
@@thespyfromteamfortress2149 pretty sure his upside down body was used for one of the sprites

@@Whomobile gi joe was not mussolini, from what I recall, there are already videos on yt covering this topic

2:18 Just imagine you viciously burnt to death by the mafia and then if death they turn your disfigured body *into* DarkRP hobo
Imagine someone going like: "wow the burnt corpses are so realistic!" And then finding the truth
I love how you're not allowed to show the original photo, but there's no issue with showing the face texture right next to it, which is basically the exact same thing but slightly edited and cropped. TH-cam is a scary place to make content in.
Theyre not the same thing because graphics from a 2006 game dont compare to real life, hence the need to blur it
Yeah because the one from the left is a video game

Imagine being the mafia that did this, not even knowing that this will be put into a game that the children will play. But I get the feeling they never even knew about this
@@scazab6408 it wasn’t meant to be a game children would play
I could definitely see a game dev who's had to look at gruesome reference photos of dead bodies having some lasting issues from it.
Some things once seen can't be unseen.
I always had eerie feels when playing this game in the late nights when I was younger just from the silence and ambient noises in the background on private servers. This just adds more to it and confirms that i wasn’t wrong.
because of this, i cant play dead island 1 anymore, the screams and ambient noises gets me and there's two places in the game it has creepy random sound effects. One is near the start where you drive almost in a circle swing and there's to the right an entrance into a jungle or something. And there's this weird screeching sound effect, sounds like a mixture of a monkey + a car turning (which isnt your car because you never hear it when you turn all the other times, which is ALOT) and some other effect over it, so like 3 sounds at once. Only seen 2 posts on steam about this from years ago with little investigation, last heard it in 2021 and cant play the game anymore lmao. Another steam post questioned a scary sound at the main hotel but I never noticed this but it could be the same creepy sound effect. I remember also in Dying Light (or it was Dead island) there's this slamming door sound effect that echoes briefly, hate it, out of the blue during daylight.
short, simple, informative with bits of trivias, spooky, love it !
Seeing the beta model for the fast zombie the face DEFINITELY has to be at least in part an amalgamation of a real photo and some snappy editing using other textures like maybe raw beef or something. Very reminiscent of some Cry of Fear monsters
The feet texture is real, which is obvious. But people say the feet are from a real cadaver but the more I think about it the more I realise that it would be more effort to get a photo of a dead person's feet instead of just taking a photo of your own feet

I decided to take the plunge and saw the original uncensored photo. To be honest, not the worst example of gore I’ve seen in my life. The worst was in my highschool forensics class where I watched a Timelapse of a body decaying, nothing censored. If you’re curious about that process, it’s a video about the University of Tennessee’s body farm.
imagine dying and being turned into a gamem odel
Since (iirc) the image appears in a medical journal, I'd actually suspect that they just found a random person that was already dead, then torched their face to see what would happen.
Thats.... actually not uncommon. That could be a thing.
I mean if you donate your body they can do more or less whatever they want (for medical purposes). I wouldn't be that surprised.
Or the body was donated
I know it’s a normal thing to do since it’s medical science… but wow it still sounds fucked up to a point
Medical crime science do that. Letting corpses rot in the open in different stages for ID training, doing different wounds to complicate IDing, like burning the face. All for training further forensic students

1:52 Those bastards. I was part of the damn dev team, and look at what they made me. A damned texture.
When _Halo_ was first being developed, Captain Keyes' Flood form had to be burned, so developer Robt McLees had to look through tons and tons of photos of burn victims to get the desired effect. He did such a good job at texturing that none of the developers could even _look_ at the thing, so it had to be left on the cutting room floor along with the flamethrower.

Without being identifiable either, like that real-life skeleton found in a theme park as a prop.
@@ArchSchizo Brutal Doom was _intended_ to have real gore for new sprites at one point, but that was walked back from the main version.

So I'll be honest, of all the uses of real life imagery in hl2's models, the corpse was the last one I anticipated. I always thought it was just a skull with a burnt meat texture overlayed.

I always used that ragdoll to spook my friends.
But this make it terryifing.
" Did you finish the body texture of the dead body model? Okay, now add this as his face "
I loved wacking the ragdoll with my crowbar just to hear the crunch and thwap of its body.
That explains why that specific rag doll always felt different from the others.
You know I always found this specific corpse in Half Life 2 to be most unsettling, alongside with the poison zombie one. I never understood why those faces hit me differently, especially since there are a lot of games not just in the Half Life series that have gruesome dead bodies, yet those don't usually give me the same unsettling feeling. After watching this I feel like unconsciously my brain was recognizing it to be real face, giving it almost uncanny valley vibes. That or I'm just overthinking it lol. But it's fascinating to think about.
fascinating how our brain manages to recognize what's real and what's not
no matter how edited it is
Even at first glance it seemed off, but then again most of the extreme violence in hl2 just seems odd, it’s like resident evil on meth.
Same feeling here, never got scared by everything else but I remember that this model would always weird me out and I would avoid to look at it whenever it appeared in the game
For me it was the full body charple.
I never liked this model and will always avoid looking at it
This make the zombie npc face more creepy knowing the original source of the textures
i just like the way he said “good even-“ of the beginning of the video
Now i'm having nightmares. This thing is actually insane by telling how realistic the texture is
And we never even considered it was an actual dead guy's picture
@@QuietFromMetalGearSolid I did, i knew it was real when i was kid, i went up close and realized it was a actual picture. Or that it could be.
@@thesaddestdude3575 I thought about it years ago when I was making a reskin for the corpse that gives it the retail refugee outfit, the face looks way too realistic when looking at the original VTF file.
Coool
inb4 valve takes it out
It feels like that one bandit from the 1800s who died in a explosion while trying to rob a bank and had his body embalmed where he was then passed around the Midwest as a carnaval attraction until at some point in the 70s someone found out he was a real person
Where can i watch videos about this?
@@Scazoid Sam 'O Nella did a video on it, I forgot which cuz it's a 2 parter, but just look up "sam 'o nella dead body shenanigans" and it should pop up
@@Scazoid Hmmm.…… I wonder where?
@@Scazoid Simple history made a video about him
Bro showed up in the Office with a ‘nightmare folder’ …
Who has that lying around on their work pc
I imagine it was some crazy guy, who always just said it was "for work research"
Someone whose job needed nightmarish references.
-"Anyways, thanks for watching and have a good day😀"
Whenever I hear real dead body references I think of deadspace’s development actually looking at car crash victims and seeing all the ways the human body can be posed
Man, it must have sucked for the development team...
@@crack4184 back then they were paid by EA and greedy corpo wasn't gonna go cheap on something that could bury them for good with bad PR
@@crack4184 well, addendum to game dev stories. Visceral and Maxis shared a soundbooth, and the way visceral got those good noises was by smashing a lot of vegetables. even with visceral doing a good job cleaning, that sound booth really smelled. they had to call in a cleaning service to deep clean the whole place.
@@swapertxking Oh, awesome...
yeah haha imagine if AAA developers forced their employees to look at photos of dead people and at videos of people literally getting shot and bleeding to death for the sake of realistic death animations that none of the players care about, that would be really naughty, dawg
Sounds like a metal af dev team, not gonna lie.
@@mrscruffles801 happened with TLOU2 development
@@ASqdrnDA Damn, that gives me a newfound respect for that game.
I see what you did there lol
@@mrscruffles801 i’m pretty sure that the team that worked on Dead Space looked at car crash victims to use as design inspiration for the Necromorphs.
i should not have searched for the image online because that nonblurred version is absolutely disgusting
I really want to see what the original Left4Dead zombie textures looked like
if you want have nightmares dont have any problem
This probably explains the use, of bloody rebel models, instead of the corpse models, throughout the later episodes. And skeletons.
or the fact that uprising had combine in defensive for first couple of hours and then rebels were pounded into a patty because gordon was missing for 2 weeks
and after half-life 2 in episodes everyone is trying to escape from city 17 to white forest
rebels killed shortly after citadel blew up won't decay that quickly
The skeletons are only seen around acid pools and antlion caves in episode 2 where it makes sense because of acid. And the bloody rebels are there because the corpse01 is clearly a citizen and during episode 1 and 2 almost all humans are wearing rebel attire and haven't had much time to 'age' after their deaths
1:14 Yep, that one on right undoubtedly looks like a photograph of a fresh corpse. It used to be a common practice in game development to use raw photographs for textures, which included real life gore if game had violence included. I think nowadays the evolution of graphic-based technology allowed us to prevail usage of photographs, since we are able to simply draw the textures and unique art styles prevailed the need for realism.
i wonder how many old games i've played that had gore in them
I dunno man, it looks too drawn to me
@@ThyBigCheddarSeems real to me, especially when I used to literally seek gore, the image already looks like a flashlight is being held to the face, typically seen in a lot of autopsy/postmortem images I come across, I can already picture the full image including a blue tarp in my mind.
Don’t forget that it’s valve we are discussing, they always manage to do some crazy shit.
@@Fatchick2316 Yeah but compare the texture quality to corpse1 and it looks way different.
Yes.
Overtime: The body is real!
Also overtime: puts it in thumbnail
It's always best to be extra cautious when it comes to gore. I recently saw the full Ronnie McNutt suicide video and I will never be able to unsee or unhear it. It's not something I am traumatized by, but incredibly disturbing. If I were one of the policemen who walked in seconds after, I would not be able to just walk by as if it wasn't there.
I guess my point is that enough exposure to it could definitely mess you up.
