Ok but I love how for the most part it’s a really accurate animation of the half life 2 universe, and then there’s just alyx chomping o ha cigar midway through
I do find it interesting that Coomer has definitely developed more of a voice and sounds less AI-like (at least in dictation and grammar, although Id expect his voice quality to still be as HL1-era grainy as ever). But yeah his playermodel staying the exact same is perfect.
That transition between pre-combine Chuck E. Cheese to post-combine Chuck E. Cheese did not have to go that hard, but good lord did it go hard, can't wait to see how the story continues
Honestly wish I saw that in the main game Like you turn a corner in 17 or prospekt and you see her light up and run into a room of combine and all you see is just a ton of ragdolls come from the room
I always had the idea that the reason the world was all destroyed and apocalyptic in HL2VRAI should have absolutely nothing to do with the alien invasion, that's just what the world would be like without Wikipedia
I personally like the headcanon someone posted on the original series that the reason humanity was overrun so easily was because Gordon and the Science Team really did wipe out the entirety of the US military during their Black Mesa exploits
I can't wait for the part at the end where it's revealed that Sunkist, being unable to die, has assumed the role of a sort of diety that, through alien technology, has created its own heaven for the souls of dogs. Sunkist comes across Gordon's body, and recognizing him, takes his soul to heaven as well so that when Tommy's time comes, he will have someone to talk to.
@@whoisspino8217 walart white used the super blue sky ball to destroy all the states of america to promote his product then the combine took a whiff and decided "o dang we gotta rule earth for this"
Like a lot of other people have said, the transition with the Strider was spectacular. I like how despite this being a comedy series, the Combine are still given great respect, still having the intimidating and oppressive feel and theming as in the actual game. Almost making it seem like the Combine truly are an unfathomably powerful and unstoppable multiversal force, capable of crushing all within their path, and even goofy cartoon universes like that of HLVRAI cannot resist this inevitable assimilation...
Thanks for having us make this trailer with you guys. Glad to see it finally out! And shout out to that one Breaking Benjamin Half-Life 2 AMV from like 20 years ago. This is basically the spiritual successor. Do you guys remember that? p.s. Shame that Benry died and couldn't appear in this trailer. p.p.s. (Ignore that. We dunno a thing about what's coming past the trailer Wayne got us to do.)
I knew you guys needed a little more fanfare to announce another addition to the HLVRAI series. I just didn't expect that fanfare to come in the form of a 5 hour Breaking Bad roleplay as the opening to a teaser trailer.
I looked on the Reddit mid stream and there’s a solid few people who were pissed that it wasn’t Half-Life 2 VR but the AI is Self Aware. Oh the look on their faces, if I could’ve seen them I wonder what will remain in 30 years? What will that look like?
I so hope she has a thick New York accent. XD Just "Doctor FAWKING Freeman, I presume, ya fawkin' mook!" I just want her to be so horrifically out of character. :P
I was there to see it live, thank you all for watching BBVRAI with me. I thoroughly enjoyed the 5 hour stream. And thank you Wayne for making this happen (BBVRAI means Breaking Bad VR but the AI is Self Aware)
It was frustrating early on seeing people get mad at the stream, though by the end there were all the people genuinely getting in to it with the final Blue Blast, and getting this trailer right at the end was just the icing on the cake.
@@TheWaverunners Honestly I was fine with the stream only being BBVRAI, but the extra cherry of the Half-Life 2 VR but the AI is Self Aware announcement? _cheff’s kiss_
I like seeing Gman passing his work and honor down to his son Tommy. Very nice, I can't wait to see how he grew up over the years of Gordon being gone. Also, if Bubby is Kleiner in this series, that means the only one who has no evolved over the years is Coomer, which tbh really hits his character. Very nice attention to detail. I can't wait to see it whenever it comes out 🙂
Everyone who was with us for the whole stream, who stuck through for the entire thing, who offered their energy for the final attack... We are all allies forged in blood now. Go forth. March on to 2024-2025.
I was only there for parts of it.. do i regret not being there for the whole stream? yes. should i be burned at the stake for my crimes? also yes. One question... can i redeem myself if i rewatch the entire stream? i may not have been there with you guys, but i can be there now.. it isn't too late, is it..?
one detail that's probably unintentional that i noticed is that half life 2 takes place 20 years after half life , so around 2020 in half life vr but the ai is self aware, dr. coomer says it's 2020, in this trailer dr. coomer says he's recording the transmission in 2040 i thought that was neat
I love the implication that Chuck E Cheese was left destroyed and full of bodies not because of the invasion but because of their party. Also, I see the mysterious Skeleton had one too many, he's out cold on the floor.
You can say the skeleton is out cold on the floor, but I think the worse implication is that the skeleton, known to be basically invincible throughout the first series, actually died somehow
The last thing I ever expected was for Mr. Coolatta to pass the torch (or, more fittingly, the briefcase) to Tommy. 2024/5 is going to be fucking crazy.
im going to cry, i originally watched the first series with my sibling who took their own life recently. im so exited to enjoy this new series in their memory.
in my opinion, i hope they just make him like a normal human, still benrey but not a goddamn cosmic god like he used to be since he has no more passports and plus they gotta focus on breen being the villain
This series has permanentally changed my sense of humor forever, and I hope that this long awaited sequel will fill the Gordon Freeman shaped hole in my heart. Thank you RTVS.
I wonder if they're going to have a jab where Coomer is like "Alright, onto to the next game!" And Gordon has to break it to him that there is not Half Life 3
@PYCROWS , no offence, but why did you have to mention you're trans? Couldn't you just have said you're a person who likes to sing? It would've conveyed the same message
Bubby is definitely cooking something. Dr. Coomer's speech in the trailer is amazing. i love how we see Gman passing the briefcase to Tommy. i can just imagine a dynamic where Tommy attempts to be "Gman like" around his friends and every now and again Gman will show up to help with something Tommy is struggling with doing. like for example: Tommy is having trouble stopping time so Gman shows up and goes through the steps on how to do it. i haven't been this hyped for something since the Dr. Coomer boss fight scene.
@MizTereAlous I think that's Dr Kliener, I'm pretty sure Bubby will appear, though, as the Walter scientist does have a source counterpart in Black Mesa.
I dont mind that the stream wasnt what they advertised. The fact that they made an abridged roleplay of breaking bad LIVE on gmod is the most impressive thing i've seen this year
You know, I always had this headcanon that when Gordon arrives in Ravenholm, instead of finding Father Grigori, He'd find Coomer who was using the zombies to work off the playcoin debt that Gordon got when killing Benry. Edit: Was this that good of an idea that 100 likes was worth it?
🤝 never seen it before, but the rp was hilarious so i watched the whole thing. now i love walter white and his cardboard family and found family and five boyfriends.
This was one of the coolest ways to round out my night. Thank you so much wayne, for a wonderfully absurd and hilarious stream to completely blindsight us with this semi truck of an sfm animation and trailer. Im so fucking excited.
This reminds me of the times those old web shows like Red Vs Blue would switch from game to game with certain seasons. Which makes the HL 1 model for Coomer kinda haunting
I'm really glad y'all took your time instead of rushing to get it out ASAP. This already looks incredible. It's like the natural continuation of the skill and complexity development you showed in the first one! I hope you have just as much fun making this, if not more.
The first series meant so much to me. It really helped me get out of my slump after my grandfathers passing in early 2020 I am so beyond excited for this. Thank you to all of you who had any part of this series. Thank you.
i love how RTVS when soo far to recreate the 7 hours war in the chat by doing a 5 hour Breaking Bad roleplay just for, the sakes of fidelity with the game lore, such a great group
To the whole RTVS crew, and everyone who helped to make the BrBa stream happen: Thank you! It's fucking amazing to see y'all compromise so much with it, knowing people would get unreasonably mad, and still manage to deliver some delightful performance art. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for HL2VRAI! ❤
All jokes aside, this trailer is very well animated. I believe this series will be a lot different than the original, but it will be a great sequel. (I hope Tommy is back.)
Being someone who was super late to the party for HLVRAI but still has a absolute blast watching the series after I found it. Word cannot express how unbelievably hyped I am for this!
1:47 Alyx smoking goes so insanely hard going straight off the heels of the gnome series Like, even if she was just watching what happened while Wayne controlled her, she still learned Gnome's smoking habit, even if it's a cigar rather than a cigarette
Bro, this series legit helped me through many long college nights. I laughed, I cried, I became a family guy, and they became my family. I really hope this at least captures the magic from the original but it will be hard to top it. I don’t expect them to, so take solace in that. It may not be better, but I would rather let the experience still be fun to be then set my hopes a little too high. Can’t wait to see it.
BettercallBenrey: "Your honour, my client is missing his Passport! How do we even know he is who he says he is? A random guy could've killed that man and claimed to be him!" Judge: "This case has nothing to do with Passports, and I have no idea who you are. It's not even a murder! It's a tax evasion case." BettercallBenrey: "Yoo, based."
Dear god… here we go again, I’m genuinely exited to see how this goes, especially with how this went from a shitpost to an entire story line… it’s just beautiful and inspiring and just makes me enjoy the world you’ve created…
I like how they didn't use Black Mesa scientists or any other Source model recreations for Dr. Coomer. Probably gonna make him more funny with how out of place he's gonna be with all the "normal" npcs that aren't actors.
I am so happy. The original series added so much entertainment for my small brain, and I love it so much, I can't believe this is happening. Poor Coomer, I cried at this mini speech at the end of the series. I'm in love with everyone who participated in the creation for this series
Honestly I'm almost happier that we got faked out by Breaking Bad, this trailer has increased my excitement by leaps and bounds. Seeing G-Man passing on his job to Tommy is amazing. God I'm so excited.
I just thought of this. What if the person playing her has a different voice because Alyx in HLABTGA smoked too much (she can even be seen smoking here) and it made her voice more gravelly and rough!
It features such things as the combine and the end of the human race is insight. I do hope they can keep some comedy while not degrading the Combines brutality
BRBAVRAI was fucking amazing, even if it was just a set up or a ‘haha gotcha’ sorta deal. Thanks for those five hours of chaos, both wayne and everyone who participated.
I'm extra glad I stayed for the whole stream, firstly because of the trailer at the end, but also because watching BRBVRAI made me realize how much I've missed the RTVS humor. They always have me scream-laughing like nothing else. I haven't been able to catch streams or stay subscribed on Twitch due to life changes, but I hope to catch up on what I've missed from them while waiting for HL2VRAI to drop.
This trailer makes it seem like they already have some idea of what the characters they play will be like personality wise but tbh I hope they come in with nothing planned like hlvrai1 because I think them going on nada produced some of the best bits (like Bubby being named Bubby)
They HAD plans for HL1 they just kinda didn't do half of them LMAO Like I swore they said they planned for some fucked up sink mascot creature to be the villain at first and spreading some AI virus, but Benrey (And almost Coomer for a minute) kinda took over as a better villain.
I hope that the "pick up that can" Metro Cop is the "Benrey equivalent", like Gordon doesnt pick up the can and the cop keeps bringing it up until the end of the series
y'all are mad geniuses, i was expecting a rug pull but i was NOT expecting a reverse one. trailer looks so good, my girlfriend's theorizing as we speak(and i'm helping, but she's the hl expert) i hope when it comes to fruition you're all having a blast with it! thanks for giving us so much to laugh and cry about the past few years!
I'm so happy I was able to stay awake for the entire thing, through the 1½ hour delay and even some time after the 5 hour stream sharing in the hype with everyone. I'll say it again, nothing short of amazing, both the wild ride with Walter and the reveal. Great job RTVS crew!!!
This series means so much to me, it got me to appreciate half life and get me invested in this world. The science team are some of my favorite characters of all time, and now we are getting to the part of half life that everyone talks about, I’m beyond excited!!!! All I can say is, kick the combine’s butts, science team!!!!!!
They went all out on this, and oh my god this is way too good for what it was originally going to be. It still surprises me, in the Q&A they said that they thought it would be the biggest stream and it would get "1,000 views", and now look at this! The first TH-cam video alone has 7.3M views, that is roughly 7387X as large as they estimated it would be. In the grand scale of it, this started as just a few friends making something fun together, but look at how far it has come. And the fact Dr. Coomer is the ONE CHARACTER I can remember almost everything about in all of fiction is insane, I've watched all of HLVRAI at least three times, and the Q&A streams once or twice as well, and it still keeps the same interest and excitement each watching. This literaly is one of the best (if not THE best) HL related projects I've seen, and that says quite a bit. On the off chance you guys making HL2VRAI sees this, keep up the good work.
I was knee deep in all the discourse during the stream and god it was so goddamn funny watching the trailer at the end and realizing literally all the posts would age like garbage Not most of mine tho cause i was cool and saw the double fakeout coming B) (for the most part)
i understand being like a lil mad like y'know joking mad but some ppl were downright furious 😭😭 the chat was fuckin awful but i couldn't look away like it was a car crash but it's over now !! and we have this to look forward to :]
As someone who has been trying to play through HL2 for nearly a decade now and has never gotten past chapter 8 (because I have a 3 second attention span lmao), I cannot wait to finally experience the game the way it was meant to be played
As I happen to like Tommy ever since the first one, it makes me happy to see him actually following the G-Man's footsteps (and looks like him too) judging from the last shot here, like father like son. :D
I can't imagine the effort that went into both the Breaking Bad stream and this trailer, both were amazing in different ways! I'm really excited to see what rtvs has in store in the future :)
I literally JUST watched the entire HLVR(+commentary) series for the first time and was absolutely blown away by how funny it was and now I get to see in real time round 2. Sometimes my timing is just impeccable
I honestly love that you made people watch a five-hour-long BrBa re-enactment before showing the trailer, basically screw anyone who complains that you aren't making exactly what they're expecting. Thank you so much Wayne and co!
The BrBaVRAI stream would've been amazing even if it didn't end with this. What a fucking bonus though. Looking forward to seeing what wild shit y'all do next year!

im going to cry, i originally watched the first series with my sibling who took their own life recently. im so exited to enjoy this new series in their memory.
I'm so sorry. Why? That's so sad.
noooooooooooo im so sorry
i am so, so very sorry. when HL2 comes out and you laugh at the poopoo jokes, you'll be laughing for both of you.
@@paxcallow hl2 came out in 2004 this is hl2vrai
I’m sorry for your loss
i cant wait for benrey to take off his metrocop mask and gordon just slowly desends into madness onto the floor questioning how is benrey still alive
Imagine the game goes compellty nor al up until that point too lmao
while he asks for a passport
in my opinion, i hope they just make him like a normal human, still benrey but not a goddamn cosmic god like he used to be since he has no more passports and plus they gotta focus on breen being the villain
@@makthemaniac1 that is true

This series has permanentally changed my sense of humor forever, and I hope that this long awaited sequel will fill the Gordon Freeman shaped hole in my heart. Thank you RTVS.
Hole.
@@dwellerintheden7973 Hole.
why do you have a gordon freeman shaped hole in your heart
@@ivansauroAre you saying you *don’t* have a Gordon Freeman shaped hole in your heart???

I think it's so nice that they're officially brionging Hank Schrader on as a full time RTVS employee.
I wonder if they're going to have a jab where Coomer is like "Alright, onto to the next game!" And Gordon has to break it to him that there is not Half Life 3
That be great
I wonder if they'll include the episodes in the series, or make another series based around the episodes.
@@camithebrickthey never made HLVRAI BS (Blue Shift) nor HLVRAI OF (Opposing Force) so idk about that
@@anactualsoupcan the episodes are a continuation. Blue shift and opposing force are spinoffs
I wonder if it will ever come out at this point
god damn this is exceptional. Holly is such a good voice actor, chills man, chills.
She's an inspiration to me, a transmasc person who likes to sing :)
@PYCROWS , no offence, but why did you have to mention you're trans? Couldn't you just have said you're a person who likes to sing? It would've conveyed the same message
@@Bonkyboy23 holly is trans, clear inspiration. No need to get on some strangers ass on the Internet, you can indeed, just continue your day!
@alexwolfe , I didn't know that. Chill I'm not getting on this guys ass, I'm just curious.
I assumed it was Gir’s voice since it’s presumably Bubby! At least to me it sounded like Kleiner. Coomer is normally much warmer in tone after all.
Bubby is definitely cooking something.
Dr. Coomer's speech in the trailer is amazing.
i love how we see Gman passing the briefcase to Tommy. i can just imagine a dynamic where Tommy attempts to be "Gman like" around his friends and every now and again Gman will show up to help with something Tommy is struggling with doing. like for example: Tommy is having trouble stopping time so Gman shows up and goes through the steps on how to do it.
i haven't been this hyped for something since the Dr. Coomer boss fight scene.
What about Bubby?
@@MizTereAlous you made me just realize my typo.
What if tommy is gonna be a villain like he was gonna be in the first hlvrai
@yuriismailov2228 tommy wasn't the villain, he was just the sanest out there
@MizTereAlous
I think that's Dr Kliener, I'm pretty sure Bubby will appear, though, as the Walter scientist does have a source counterpart in Black Mesa.
I dont mind that the stream wasnt what they advertised. The fact that they made an abridged roleplay of breaking bad LIVE on gmod is the most impressive thing i've seen this year
You know, I always had this headcanon that when Gordon arrives in Ravenholm, instead of finding Father Grigori, He'd find Coomer who was using the zombies to work off the playcoin debt that Gordon got when killing Benry.
Edit: Was this that good of an idea that 100 likes was worth it?
The 5 hour Breaking Bad rp finally explained to me what Breaking Bad was about, and this trailer was the icing on top. Thank you RTVS crew!
🤝 never seen it before, but the rp was hilarious so i watched the whole thing. now i love walter white and his cardboard family and found family and five boyfriends.
This was one of the coolest ways to round out my night. Thank you so much wayne, for a wonderfully absurd and hilarious stream to completely blindsight us with this semi truck of an sfm animation and trailer. Im so fucking excited.
1:22 that transition goes hard, I love it
It better start with tommy asking if gordon wants a soda before dropping him off on the train
This reminds me of the times those old web shows like Red Vs Blue would switch from game to game with certain seasons.
Which makes the HL 1 model for Coomer kinda haunting
It's just like how Caboose is the only one who keeps his Mark V helmet XD
I'm really glad y'all took your time instead of rushing to get it out ASAP. This already looks incredible. It's like the natural continuation of the skill and complexity development you showed in the first one! I hope you have just as much fun making this, if not more.
It just hit me that it’s been nearly four years since HLVRAI. Time really went by quick.
4 eharas?
I'm sorry 4 WHAT
almost as long as the width between half life 1 and 2
Four years.......

The first series meant so much to me. It really helped me get out of my slump after my grandfathers passing in early 2020 I am so beyond excited for this. Thank you to all of you who had any part of this series. Thank you.
i love how RTVS when soo far to recreate the 7 hours war in the chat by doing a 5 hour Breaking Bad roleplay just for, the sakes of fidelity with the game lore, such a great group
oh. my god. oh my god. I never thought of it that way. holy mother of cheese on a holy cracker WOW
wait how did they recreate the 7 hr war? it was only a 5 hr stream
@@siliconmonday close enough
To the whole RTVS crew, and everyone who helped to make the BrBa stream happen: Thank you! It's fucking amazing to see y'all compromise so much with it, knowing people would get unreasonably mad, and still manage to deliver some delightful performance art. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for HL2VRAI! ❤
2:09 Guys, look at the boots and pants of the guy walking through the vents, that's Benrey!
I hope his brother Emmett is in this one
also I think the guy down below could be Darnold, he worked in Mixology black at back mesa after all
In pretty sure that's a combine guard
@@gamersgambit7517 That guys white
its most likely just a metro cop
All jokes aside, this trailer is very well animated. I believe this series will be a lot different than the original, but it will be a great sequel. (I hope Tommy is back.)
Tommy's the new Gman! That's why there's two in the trailer!
I hope so too.
I feel it would be more depriesive or have a more serious tone, while still keeping the humor of the original
@@Uraveragepotato25 I loved the original more tho I hope it's funnier and the whole gang gets back together
I seriously cannot wait to see what's in store for 2024/5, this whole VR series has been an incredible journey full of laughs and tears on my end
Being someone who was super late to the party for HLVRAI but still has a absolute blast watching the series after I found it.
Word cannot express how unbelievably hyped I am for this!
Same!
It's never too late!
LETS GOOOOOO
1:47 Alyx smoking goes so insanely hard going straight off the heels of the gnome series
Like, even if she was just watching what happened while Wayne controlled her, she still learned Gnome's smoking habit, even if it's a cigar rather than a cigarette
omg yeah !!!
Bro, this series legit helped me through many long college nights. I laughed, I cried, I became a family guy, and they became my family. I really hope this at least captures the magic from the original but it will be hard to top it. I don’t expect them to, so take solace in that. It may not be better, but I would rather let the experience still be fun to be then set my hopes a little too high. Can’t wait to see it.
You became a family guy but did you watched family guy?
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 Yes, yes I did dear sir
@@warriorswithmics6490 Good
Okay, gotta say the animation is really good, especially at 1:47 when Alyx's face looks so cool and the cig and gun is just so good.
This is genuinely really cool and i believe in rtvs’s ability to balance production quality and effort with having fun and making something funny
“This will pay dividends in the sequel!”
So when are we getting Better Call Saul VR but the AI is Self-Aware?
In 2026 probably, idk.
When hl2ai ep 1-2 is in development
BettercallBenrey: "Your honour, my client is missing his Passport! How do we even know he is who he says he is? A random guy could've killed that man and claimed to be him!"
Judge: "This case has nothing to do with Passports, and I have no idea who you are. It's not even a murder! It's a tax evasion case."
BettercallBenrey: "Yoo, based."
It would be SO funny if when they announce the "real" hl2vrai it's just better call Saul vr but the ai
Dear god… here we go again, I’m genuinely exited to see how this goes, especially with how this went from a shitpost to an entire story line… it’s just beautiful and inspiring and just makes me enjoy the world you’ve created…
I like how they didn't use Black Mesa scientists or any other Source model recreations for Dr. Coomer. Probably gonna make him more funny with how out of place he's gonna be with all the "normal" npcs that aren't actors.
BRO I JUST HAD A DREAM THAT THE SECOND SERIES GOT RELEASED AND I WOKE UP AND KNOW IM PIST
me too
I am so happy. The original series added so much entertainment for my small brain, and I love it so much, I can't believe this is happening. Poor Coomer, I cried at this mini speech at the end of the series. I'm in love with everyone who participated in the creation for this series
Honestly I'm almost happier that we got faked out by Breaking Bad, this trailer has increased my excitement by leaps and bounds. Seeing G-Man passing on his job to Tommy is amazing. God I'm so excited.

@@taoretakitsune
how about you just stop commenting and go outside
wdym faked out by breaking bad?
Alyx being a player character in the last series and an ai character in this series is pretty interesting!
I just thought of this. What if the person playing her has a different voice because Alyx in HLABTGA smoked too much (she can even be seen smoking here) and it made her voice more gravelly and rough!
the tone makes it seem that it won't be so ligth-hearted
It features such things as the combine and the end of the human race is insight. I do hope they can keep some comedy while not degrading the Combines brutality
THE TRANSITION GOES SO HARD!!!!
also the fact that dr coomer is going to be the polygonic model makes me so happy
BRBAVRAI was fucking amazing, even if it was just a set up or a ‘haha gotcha’ sorta deal. Thanks for those five hours of chaos, both wayne and everyone who participated.
I never saw it, what are you talking about? and can i sti;; see it somewhere?
@@someguy15721you can watch the vod on waynes twitch
@ElectroMage1821 the video should still be on wayne's twitch channel, but he will likely upload it to youtube too!
You absolute troll. Loved the BBVRAI stream, amazing work... couldn't be more hyped. Can't believe I got to be here live for it!!
I like how uncertain that release year is
I'm extra glad I stayed for the whole stream, firstly because of the trailer at the end, but also because watching BRBVRAI made me realize how much I've missed the RTVS humor. They always have me scream-laughing like nothing else. I haven't been able to catch streams or stay subscribed on Twitch due to life changes, but I hope to catch up on what I've missed from them while waiting for HL2VRAI to drop.
This trailer makes it seem like they already have some idea of what the characters they play will be like personality wise but tbh I hope they come in with nothing planned like hlvrai1 because I think them going on nada produced some of the best bits (like Bubby being named Bubby)
same!
They HAD plans for HL1 they just kinda didn't do half of them LMAO
Like I swore they said they planned for some fucked up sink mascot creature to be the villain at first and spreading some AI virus, but Benrey (And almost Coomer for a minute) kinda took over as a better villain.

2:25 literally can't stop thinking about this shot what does it mean... will tommy become the new gman???
I hope that the "pick up that can" Metro Cop is the "Benrey equivalent", like Gordon doesnt pick up the can and the cop keeps bringing it up until the end of the series
Ok that would genuinely be the funniest fucking thing in my opinion, even if it would be considered overused by some folks.
Seeing this live was absolutely amazing
The future is looking bright, I'm so excited for this! Thanks for giving us so much, RTVS ❤
y'all are mad geniuses, i was expecting a rug pull but i was NOT expecting a reverse one. trailer looks so good, my girlfriend's theorizing as we speak(and i'm helping, but she's the hl expert)
i hope when it comes to fruition you're all having a blast with it! thanks for giving us so much to laugh and cry about the past few years!
I only hope that Tommy is ok after this whole combine invasion thing happened, he's too precious :(
Tommy was the 2nd Gman at the end of the trailer
@@whoisspino8217 oh ur right, didnt realize that XD
@@prodinoslayer3066 you good lmao
well that explains the two gmen
Yeah, but tommy has perfect aim and has killed MANY people. Well, NPC's. But still, I think he's fine.
It’s been 7 months PLEASE START MAKING THIS I BEG
YEAH MANNN
now 8 months :(
I'm so happy I was able to stay awake for the entire thing, through the 1½ hour delay and even some time after the 5 hour stream sharing in the hype with everyone. I'll say it again, nothing short of amazing, both the wild ride with Walter and the reveal. Great job RTVS crew!!!
This series means so much to me, it got me to appreciate half life and get me invested in this world. The science team are some of my favorite characters of all time, and now we are getting to the part of half life that everyone talks about, I’m beyond excited!!!!
All I can say is, kick the combine’s butts, science team!!!!!!
I'm so excited to meet Emmet Calhoun, beloved character of this series
They went all out on this, and oh my god this is way too good for what it was originally going to be. It still surprises me, in the Q&A they said that they thought it would be the biggest stream and it would get "1,000 views", and now look at this! The first TH-cam video alone has 7.3M views, that is roughly 7387X as large as they estimated it would be. In the grand scale of it, this started as just a few friends making something fun together, but look at how far it has come. And the fact Dr. Coomer is the ONE CHARACTER I can remember almost everything about in all of fiction is insane, I've watched all of HLVRAI at least three times, and the Q&A streams once or twice as well, and it still keeps the same interest and excitement each watching. This literaly is one of the best (if not THE best) HL related projects I've seen, and that says quite a bit. On the off chance you guys making HL2VRAI sees this, keep up the good work.
never expected to see such high quality animation for this, but im enthralled with the idea that this crackfest is going to continue
What an amazing trailer! Surely everyone was normal when this was released
I was knee deep in all the discourse during the stream and god it was so goddamn funny watching the trailer at the end and realizing literally all the posts would age like garbage
Not most of mine tho cause i was cool and saw the double fakeout coming B) (for the most part)
i understand being like a lil mad like y'know joking mad but some ppl were downright furious 😭😭 the chat was fuckin awful but i couldn't look away like it was a car crash but it's over now !! and we have this to look forward to :]
none of you would believe how excited I was to make the first song for this trailer, I've been holding it in for so so long gjfhkgdfj
yoyo
great job aqua!
you did an awesome job!!
As someone who has been trying to play through HL2 for nearly a decade now and has never gotten past chapter 8 (because I have a 3 second attention span lmao), I cannot wait to finally experience the game the way it was meant to be played
As I happen to like Tommy ever since the first one, it makes me happy to see him actually following the G-Man's footsteps (and looks like him too) judging from the last shot here, like father like son. :D
Tommy being the new G-man is a character development i wasn't expecting to see but i'm all for it
I appreciate that Coomer's model is still the original from Half-Life since it stands out so dramatically.
Love the callback to the passport guardian sax solo in the beggining
Oh _that's_ what that is
I can't imagine the effort that went into both the Breaking Bad stream and this trailer, both were amazing in different ways! I'm really excited to see what rtvs has in store in the future :)
I literally JUST watched the entire HLVR(+commentary) series for the first time and was absolutely blown away by how funny it was and now I get to see in real time round 2. Sometimes my timing is just impeccable
I AM SO EXCITED!! Been waiting for SO LONG
Gonna go rewatch the previous series AND Gnome Saga!
I honestly love that you made people watch a five-hour-long BrBa re-enactment before showing the trailer, basically screw anyone who complains that you aren't making exactly what they're expecting. Thank you so much Wayne and co!
