    In case anyone's curious, the 1998 concept was basically a tech demo to demonstrate the innovative and highly advanced capabilities of the GoldSRC engine, such as particle systems, skeletal animations, and attaching entities to individual parts of an animated model. At the time, this was considered groundbreaking.
    Valve also made a robot model back in the day with a staggering number of animated bones (for the time). This was a stress test that was meant to crash the engine, but it didn't.

      It was like 20 bones and 6000 polygons to show just how groundbreaking Half life was going to be.
      And if you know anything about the games reputation on launch, yeah it was truly ground breaking.
      It may be hard for you to believe but people used to use words like "photo realistic" when describing games like half life blowing the minds of people.

      @duncanwade1026 Před 3 lety +256

      Video Games are actually produced differently to CGI effects. Video Games are designed to be rendered in real time, so games from the 90s (and possibly the 60s) had very primitive graphics that weren't very detailed. CGI, on the other hand, is designed to be rendered over a long period of time into a video file, so CGI films from the 90s can include more complex things without any detriment to performance. Visual effects back in the 60s were more practical, but even then I'd be hard to replicate the moon landing footage accurately with the materials and visual tricks they had at the time.

    The ''Open your Eyes'' and ''Open your Mind'' ones are simply iconic, but the one for Alyx is such a cool new stylized and modern take on the classic intro and ''mascot'' if you will. I'd love for a new wave of Valve masterpieces to come along for a new generation of players with a brand new intro, keeping the music of course, simply hearing that tune can make you travel all the way back in time to '98 back when HL1 was released, it's magical.

    the Valve guy slowly turning in VR is a useful way to check for in-game stutter before having to start the game itself: if his head movement is smooth, you're good to go. If that movement jerks or stutters slightly, then quit game and do more troubleshooting.

    I only played Portal 2 on the XBOX 360 for the longest time (Which doesn't have the intro), and so the only time I saw the valve guy was just the static image from TF2, so when I played Portal 2 on steam back in 2019, and I saw the valve guy turn around, it freaked me out
    To see something/Someone you known to just be static for years, just for it to suddenly start moving, not just that but also trying to facing you was a surreal experience that scared the shit out of me.

But like back in the 90s when doing 3D skeletal animations in video games was unheard of. To the point that most publishers thought that valve wasn’t going to be able to do it. That intro was practically a massive flex on anyone who doubted their abilities. By having a guy do all that movement they pretty much proved the entire industry wrong.
