“Blame Todd Howard for that.”
It was 97. You blame John Romero.
hmm
yes
blame the john for no toilets
Todd Howard actually started with Bethesda in 94, his first job was helping to bug fix the elder scrolls: arena cd-rom version. So technically, Todd Howard is correct.
But John Romero makes way more sense for 90’s fps
It's still incredible how this borderline creepy tech demo turned into a masterpiece of PC gaming one year later.
They _did_ rework the game after this demo, around late 1997.
the entity modes makeme fuckin die of laughter when seeing them but ok
Most of what's seen in the final game as far as layouts was done in a few months. It really wasnt that much time.
Half-Half-Life: Half-Quake
notice the menus are the same as quake
Halfway to Destruction
It’s interesting how the Hound-Eyes actually had their design basically finalized by this point in development, when the much more iconic headcrabs absolutely did not.
Just a little background:
DSP was a huge, impressive thing in the 90s and you needed a special sound card for it to sound the best. The Steam release doesn't even support the high-quality version anymore because it required a Creative Labs Sound Blaster card with EAX 1.2 capability, if I remember correctly.
Playing this game on a properly-equipped 1996 to 2002 computer sounds and feels so much cooler than playing it on Steam.
oh fuck
can i not just buy a [Creative Labs Sound Blaster card with EAX 1.2 capability] and put it in my modern pc
oh the steam version doesnt support it
if this is actually real then i want a mod that makes it sound how its supposed to
or for valve to actually update it to sound how it was supposed to since theyre apparently updating half life 1 now
How can it be approximated?
Consider MetaAudio for that authentic sound
They're waiting for you, Gordon.
In the _test chamberrrrrrrrrrrrrr._
They're waiting for you, Ivan*
The giant robot that shows up at 25:57 is from an 80' anime series called Super Dimension Fortress Macross. It's one of the classics.
Fug, It almost looks like an inspiration for the hunter designs from Episode 1
So valve is a weeb company now. Huh.
LambdaCremator - Half-Life & More Probably a couple people on the dev team were fans of Macross/Robotech.
god i fucking knew it looked familiar
It reminds me of the ED-209
Its funny to me that half life alpha is the same quality as like 2012 indie horror games
Making white light by mixing red, green and blue in a virtual environment was pretty fucking cool in 1997.
I'm very glad they redid the game from scratch, since from this- if they hadn't, it would've ended up just another "quake-doom" clone.
I feel bad for this build of Barney. Almost as if he witnessed Gabe loosing his shit at some point.
I'm really excited that Vinny is checking this out. Seeing the early development of games like this always fascinates me, and it's incredible to see what Valve was accomplishing, and the fact that they wiped it and started over again says a lot about how dedicated and passionate they were about making good games.
I highly recommend looking at videos by MarphitimusBlackimus that showcase some more obscure details in Half-Life, particularly the AI. Bullsquids will eat human gibs if they're alone, Houndeyes always have a leader that keeps watch when the others are sleeping, cockroaches will scatter if you shine a light at them (whether it be a light in the map or your flashlight), the list goes on. This game was so ahead of its time and it's still impressive to this day.
... Also the headcrabs in the Half-Life alpha have textured assholes.
assholes AND defined buttcheeks!
You know what, I just checked the Headcrab's textures and it does in fact still have a defined asshole.
What the fuck, Valve.
this IS the same company that greenlit a giant testicle crab and almost greenlit a dick-shaped horse tentacle monster designed by an edgy teenager
nice
Also the original headcrabs were instant kills if they hit.
"Catch me later, I'll buy you a weed." -Alpha Barney
“Hey, catch me later I’ll buy you Crack!”
A WEED.
That's amphetamine not weed
Hey catch me later and i strangle you to death
-Originaly intended barney
Barney seems a bit, stressed?..
He hasn't had a cold one for months!!!
let me buy ya a BEER!
Yeah I think they thought that this alien stuff really gonna scare everyone and cause big stress and no sleep
coked out
Stolen
The character models are what’s most well know about this game and I noticed that Barney’s helmet says mp which means military police is Barney a military policeman originally?
yes, and the facility was originally government owned.
this demo is so cool! Imagine if they made this into a game!
Imagine if they made it a trilogy
Half-Life: Chad
Fucking chads and Stacies...
Chad-Life
One of my teachers is named mr.chad and he is a badass
2:50 Dat crouch-jump fail flashback.
did you know: you can run this old version of half life in 1080p by simply adding "-width 1920 -height 1080" to the Half-Life GL.bat
Hey that's really impressive, actually! Interesting!
Ahh, good ol' Ivan the Space Biker.
19:23
ＦＲＥｅＺＥｅ
Frostyfoxmist aaAAaah
Ivan the Space Biker will always be one of my favorite video game characters.
7:33
I'm wondering how exactly that two-door segment with a fan above managed to make it into the final game.
*Vinny streams Half-Life alpha* And I'm still waiting for the beta with the red HEV Suit. sigh
I don't think there is any playable content of that stage in development.
I heard that some dude called Geoff keighley (hope I typed his name right) has several discs containing various beta versions of HL1, but for some goddamn reason he doesn’t want to release them because he wants valve “consent”, to be honest if I was him I would put all of whatever info is held on those cds on a usb driver due to the fact that after some time has passed, cds start to rot, to be honest a huge shame that he just doesn’t want to release them, is till hope he actually releases whatever is held on those discs.
@@sipeb587 I hope so too.
I never knew Don Knotts played the role of Barney in this game. Wait....was that the inspiration? Barney Fife from Andy Griffith Show?
Well he *was* borderline a bumbling idiot from the original game. Only in Blue shift did he start seeming somewhat competant.
Duuude, you're right!
a bit late but yeah, thats also where Otis from OF got his name
@@nextros4440 Wow crazy
This is the first time I've actually seen the Alpha build in-action. I've gotta say, I'm really impressed! This is really something _special,_ and I'm glad Vinny got a chance to show it off. It's fascinating, to see how much changed by how much and, more importantly, what stayed the same! Too bad they didn't keep the all-nighter guard or Ivan the Space Biker.
He was actually _technically_ kept in. His model is still present on the game's model folder on the final version of the game!
I did not know that. Huh… I wonder why the _Sven Co-op_ crew never made him a character, like they did with some of the other Alpha characters.
There's actually a playermodel of him on Sven Co-op! It looks weird and out of proportion compared to the original though, and I really don't like it. Because of that, I made the original model, with the animations and all, playable!
Huh. I actually did not know that.
Also, I may have to look into that custom model.
Oh, you can go right ahead! I posted it a while ago on Moddb, under the username of "DerickFabro", although it is not optmized for Sven, and coloring it doesn't quite work.
Come to Valve HQ and check out our amazing new game engine! We have:
-Colored Lights
-'Good' Faces

My kind of content.
21 YEARS VINECENT
21 YEARS
"Come on, dearest Barnior, follow me"
9:57 I got that reference, Vinny.
Ive been waiting for this
25:48
Lol
Yes, more half life content
The mech seems to be a zentradi mech from macross/robotech
Half life pre release moment
I like this a lot.
If I recall you don't know Jack 3 disk had a demo video showing alpha half life. I'll have to check. Glad I still have my cd.
Thus Vinny shortens his most interesting stream in forever again
Happy 20 years half life
4:11
OMG a beta version of stalkyard!
I played that map to death (when I wasn't playing 'Crossfire' or 'datacore')
FREEZE
Aaah!
4:15 with all the crates, wasn't this an area in a map in opposing force multilayer??
It looks like a fever dream version of Half-Life
Nice. Just started playing the half life series!
25:47 Hey Mr. Freeman, I'm gonna buy you a BEEEEEEEER.
There's also a version of half life on the Dreamcast you should play that one.......... there's only a few loading times
The AI for Half Life was very good for the time and honestly still is, especially with the HECU soldiers. Much smarter than the Combine soldiers.
Actually, the combine soldiers have much more advanced AI, it's just that they never get to show it off, because A: they tend to be used in enclosed spaces, and B: they get killed too fast, if they had more health and better designed areas they'd get to shine more, but alas, guess that's not what valve was looking for
Fos
The Ai is relatively the same except for a few advancements in finding cover and how they use weapons, the biggest difference is in the level design between the two games.
You can see how the combine soldier Ai interacts in Half-Life’s level design in earlier iterations of Black Mesa Source, and when the Black Mesa team made the damage scale exactly the same as Half-Life, the game became almost impossible due to how the Combine Ai utilizes cover, spread out and flank you, and could shoot while moving.
Valve actually nerfed the Combine Ai in the SteamPipe update for some reason as well.
Of course the alien Ai in Half-Life is pretty impressive too.
I highly doubt the HECU would work well in the environments the combine are put in, its the way they're funneled at the player and designed to die before they can do anything cool that makes them seem like stupid dumb idiot heads, since they have some pretty neat manouvers if you plop them on a map with proper AI nodes setup you can see them do some pretty neat stuff, though I can definitely see how the HECU boys would look more advanced, since they talk a bunch and get to move around a bunch with a higher health pool
The fact that a lot of intricate AI mechanics in HL1 went mostly unnoticed (see: MarphitimusBlackimus) is a pretty convincing reason for both 1. why future devs wouldn't want to bother adding such intricate mechanics, and 2. why players probably won't notice even if the devs did bother. The average game enemy is just too busy fighting and dying against the player for the 99.9% of their screen time. So much work for so little gain.
What did the SteamPipe nerf do? What were the changes?
I always wondered what Half Life would've been like if they kept all the cut monsters and game elements, seeing the alpha is interesting stuff. Any chance you'll look at the Half Life 2 Alpha one day?
vinny needs to get his hands on the hl2 beta and play it
It's pretty cool, the map at 4:40 is basically one of the maps from Hidden:Source. Wonder if the hidden crew took that map as inspiration?
I need to know what changed between this and the release. New team members? It's just so different in overall tone
Interesting how in this alpha version, before health kits and the like were put in it seems you have regenerating health, very weird to see in a Valve shooter
there is health boxes on the walls in a few maps, it’s probably a debug feature
everything started from here
Barney kills the scientist because he blamed him for destroying the facility
*LET ME HEAR YOU SAY IT ONE MORE TIME*
Sent Binyot offer to give more pre-release games in his email, updoot to enhance see chance.
Looks like "Babs first half life 1 mod" xD
I remember paying that first map on the ps2 version of half-life in death match
Fuck yes! I love stuff like this. You should play the half life 2 beta too!
I don't care that he was a bad guy i absolutley adore the alpha barney
I tried to start the alpha but won't work tells me something can't read like the GPU or something I don't remember
The fucking trumpet sound, i'm getting Rot Life flashbacks..
oh my fucking god i just now realized the anime mech is doing the fucking dancing baby animation
4:14
that's a deathmatch map in half life 1 i recognize it
That Ok at the beginning.
some of this reminds me of goldeneye maps
hl1 alpha headcrabs look like mutated rotisserie chicken
Oh my God. Half-Life started as a bad Half-Life mod.
they took the headcrab's dumpy away
cant have shit in black mesa
How do I get this version of the game?
Five to zero? let me see my keyboard..
The zero goes last.
2:50 Vinny I've got for DSP lighting is dental super person lighting
You should stream half-life precursor
the life that was half
Imagine if valve released half life like this, and didn't bother to change it
Valve should've left Barney's face as it is.
Frighted Barney will forever be burned into my retinas.
It basically looks like Quake 2 reskin / mod
ayy why no shadows enabled?
Barn's face doh, like shaggy on drugs
Hey Mr. Freeman, lemme buy you a BEER.
b is the use key
I love seeing beta or alpha stuff in games. My favorite is the mario sunshine beta.
Signal Lost mod Vinny when? Pls Binny...
Barney on crack! 3:29
notarget on; HECU still shoot you down
You can actually activate some kind of HUD in this version of the game. It's a really weird and quite Quake-ish HUD, it goes all around the screen, but, it's mostly empty.
vinny i recommended you to play half life 2 beta and download a mega patch 4.1.
I can see why they delayed the game
It's interesting how this is before they "reset development", yet it's obvious that the final game evolved from this. (if by quite a bit)
You'd expect it to be *absolutely* different, since that's what "reset development" or "started from scratch" entails. If you're not starting "from scratch", then don't say that's what you're doing.
barnold PLAES
how to instal this?
9:45 those animations is thiccccc
now ur going deep down
11:16 this bug is still in all hl1 games
spicy
Gordan Chadman
