The game we see in S2 was designed for VR, and the AI was designed to better suit an audience new to VR. The designers likely WANTED AI to not run away from grenades, react slowly, etc. This video was a fun little comparison of features within the hl games (NOT the engine) but does not really encapsulate the motivations behind stylistic choices
@@SirCheeseEater Yeah, essentially it was because in a normal kb+m game, you can react so much faster because it's easy to move your mouse to aim or maneuver with your keys. Since in VR you have to deal with the inertia of your own body for looking around/aiming with your arms, they made the AI a lot slower so they are actually reasonable to deal with. HL2 or HL1 AI would be really hard to fight in VR because of how much they maneuver and zip around.
@@SirCheeseEater Try to hit a fast enemy with a grenade when they shoot at you, you have an empty clip, at the same moment your legs, eyes and head from VR hurt, and your vision is also about zero .

Hl2 beta HAD glass physics implemented. the glass you were shooting at just wasn't breakable.. there's tons of those in retail and hl1 too. the breakable glass in the beta was really similar to gldsrc breaking glass.
theres two different types of source glass, breakable blocks, and the big flat pane, when you shoot around the center of the pane the center crumples when its disconnected
the problem with this comparassion, is trhat its not exactly comparing the engine its more or less comparing the game and how the devs implemented the features, cause they could have make the npc different in all the engines its not really showing the limitations and limits of each engine.
I was just watching a comparison between HL2 and HL Alyx because I just felt like it, I go back to the main page and what do I see? An even more in-depth comparison between *4* Half-Lifes! Starting the day off right.
I think barneacles eating in goldsr were way more scaryer, bcs he eats only the head, and at every byte you can hear the sound of him crushing the bones cracking and the victim body shaking. When i was younger that scared the fuck out of me
"Huge Explosion" recap GoldSRC: Beta Source: Earrape Source: Satisfying explosions (audibly and visually) Source 2: Not as satisfying as Source (ok visually, not satisfying audibly)
breakable glass was actually in beta source... just not on wall textures like that even in retail. look at e3 seafloor where you drive the car through the window.
That feeling when GoldSrc had the best grenade JUST CAUSE OF THE GORE. Like, „Oh no a grenade exploded in my hands! Lemme just fling myself like 3 feet away with not even a scratch or dirt stain on my body, and with no blood or guts, like i just tripped”
The difference between Gold Source and Source is incredible considering it’s only a few years apart. Source to Source 2 with almost 20 years in between, not so much. Innovation in gaming slowed down so much since the late 2000s.
Just wait until bci becomes more fleshed out. Gabe Newell himself believes it'll be an industry game changer, although I'm not so sure about a "matrix level of vr simulation" being possible in general.
God I never realized until now just how awesome Gibs are and how much they ad to the experience. I hope for half life 3 they have both ragdolls and gibs in the game so that they can both be combined
The biggest upgrade from Source 2 is definetly the 3D binaural audio. Gold Source had Aureal 3D 2.0 which is the same thing, then Valve went backwards with Half Life 2 until a CSGO patch.
You just lied! There is Beta Source glass breaking. It was implemented on map d2_prison_06 from HL2BETA 2003. Maybe there is another encouters of breaking glass, but this one is the only I do remember.
The beta glass triggered me. That texture doesnt break in retail too. And on the technical part, hl2 retail glass is in the beta, but is not used cause its just unnecessary details. Both hl2 beta and hl2 have the same glass. And both of them use hl1 type of glass, to save on resources.
I miss how brutal the original was. There were guts and blood everywhere. I miss that in the modern Half Life, it's not necessary, but it sure made the whole combat feel more visceral.
S2 glasses has many other abilities than just being destroyed, comparison was. incompleted NPCS reacting to grenade has nodes issues, test was incorrect Friendlies taking damage - NPCs in HL1 had no target, NPCs in HL2 were missing weapons and target to fight. Test was incorrect Annoying NPCs are scenic scripts and never were actual part of the engine. Except Source Beta
@@Namerco I don't think it would take that long for a trained millitary soldier to react to a grenade. In fact, if I were to see/hear a grenade fall down right next to me I would probably run instead of stalling for 5 seconds and running *in the direction of the grenade to "get away"* Also HL1 is a little realistic... apart from the fact that there is teleportation technology that accidentally teleports a bunch of aliens from another dimension to a research facility in New Mexico and the fact that the most realistic its physics gets are small things bouncing off the ground upon impact but nothing rotates. HL2 on the other hand is literally a dystopian sci fi world where there are not only aliens and teleportation but the enemies are technically cyborgs
idk, the combine are incredibly smart, its just hard to notice. they had to dumb them down in a lot of places to make sure the game was still playable, but if you look into their interactions with you in the actual game they put a lot of thought into what they do
Interestingly the Source huge (barrel explosion) looks better, by the way they explode a bit delayed and spred than the Source 2. What are those firefly like things around spawned in NPCs in Gold source?
I think they put it in because HL1 was supposed to be a horror game (its plot was partly inspired by a Steven King novel), so it was there partly for the plot. HL2 was supposed to be more of a dystopian-scifi-action-movie-like game and big frequent explosions of blood and guts are probably a little too distracting from the plot. I am not entirely sure though but it seems logical
IMO Ratings. The game was already rated mature 17+ and with human Gibs they would certainly have reached Adult Only or R rating and that was something Valve just didn't wanted, at lest at the time of HL2, it would seriously effect their sales. Now, why they stick with no human gibs for HL:A, when they just don't care about money anymore, (if they did they wouldn't make the game VR only) is anyone guess, perhaps force of habit or the dev's themselves are anti human gibs now? But HL2 has some monster gibs, only not human based gibs.
@Argoon1981 How would human gibs make a game adults only when there's so many M rated games that have human gibs? Half Life 1 literally has human gibs, L4D2 zombies are human enough, Call of Duty WAW, Dying Light 1 and 2 (especially after DL2's gore update), etc. There are many many games with human gibbing that aren't adults only. In fact, I think there's more M rated games with human gibbing than there are AO rated games. It's not because of ratings, it's just because of stylistic choices. HL1 gibbing is very cartoonish and that isn't the vibe they were going for in HL2 and Alyx. That's why you're not really going to see human gibbing in Half Life anymore while they keep it in a less serious game like TF2
