This is actually very sad
@JuiceEnergy What about them beside kicking out Kojima?
Well, sega DID shut down Streets of Rage Remake tho
@@caikelm5766 They did?
Nintendo has a far greater reputation, and they're completely within legal realms doing what they're doing. While it's not cool, they're trying to protect all of their stuff. Also, Japanese companies have different values and don't understand other cultures super well. And while Sega technically is Japanese, they aren't really anymore.

@@jesusvivancozambrano7832 He wasn't working on that side of the facility, let alone the same building. His actual job doesn't involve weapons much, if at all, let alone experimental ones. Seems pretty unqualified to me.
He's learninnng
Gordon is a Phd from the MIT and a Black Mesa employee, he develops alien tech and teleporting devices, he should be ok.
@@danielgomez7236 No he doesn't, it is explained when you get to the lambda complex the Gordon isn't supposed to know about the teleportation labs, and already knows more than he is supposed to; like when he went through the biodome in questionable ethics. His job is to run tests on materials to ascertain what they are, not develop technology of any kind.
To anyone wanting to get into Half Life for the first time
Black Mesa is actually very, very good for those that just want a solid, more modern take of the events that preceded Half Life 2. Crowbar Collective even makes some of Valve's retconning come to life (for example, Eli and Isaac right after the resonance cascade).
Valve's original is still amazing because of how they were able to create a game with that big of a scope in the late 90s. So if you wish to see Valve's industry changing technologically impressive masterpiece in all its 90s glory, go for it.
Black Mesa really should be played after finishing the original Half-Life.
Tbh I got the original instead of Black Mesa because I was afraid that my PC couldn't run it.
@@msketchyr you'll a
be able to appreciate Black Mesa even more then once you have the means to run it :D
and the price is fair as well, I got a little over thirty hours worth of gameplay, so it's $0.50 an hour, definitely a great time investment for the fun I had with it.
@@msketchyr L
Not to mention that they've updated the game to include the retcons that were made in HL2 and its episodes. For instance, the original game has a random scientist tell you to go to the surface, then in HL2 Eli Vance says "Last time I saw you, I told you to go to the surface". In Black Mesa, Eli (and Kleiner) make appearances exactly where Eli said they would-and with new, younger-looking models to boot!
They missed an opportunity with Magnusson and his casserole tho.

I love the way they've done this. Basically remade it with modern technology with just a few tweaks to gameplay. Not trying to change or improve it, but lovingly updating it like a mechanic restoring a classic car.
I mean there's a bit more than a few tweaks. There's level modifications too and they entirely reworked 'On a Rail' (and of course Xen, lol).
@@staryoshi06 And they did a great job with both. =) I kinda hated the original On a Rail chapter anyway. This new one was fun, I even reloaded few fights just to do them again.
@@staryoshi06 Tho tbh both On a Rail and Xen needed inprovements. OaR was boring af and also very repetitive, while Xen was just a mess. Glad they changed them.
Sorry, but what? This is one of the best and most faithful remakes ever, right alongside Resident Evil 2. They actually did improve on quite a lot and this video mention some of that, so I think you should actually watch the video you're commenting on.
@@sujimayne That's what they said. They were commenting on how faithful the design was to the original game.

I mighta just been on my phone (legitimately don't remember), but I thought it was actually shorter. Maybe the distance is longer, but the train is faster? Or maybe it just doesn't load as much and thus takes less time to watch.
It's not just the characters, weapons, and objects that have taken advantage of the improved source engine. Xen is now finally what it should have been in HL1, but couldn't be due to engine limitations. The developers have both beautifully and hauntingly captured the nature of Xen in ways only the imagination could back in 1998. It's kind of funny how that levels which were never even in HL1 have surely become a fan favorite of the series, no doubt for the fact that they feel the most "Half Life" out of the whole game. There needs to be more hype about this to get the attention of players who aren't fully aware that Black Mesa doesn't have to be played for the nostalgia (I myself played HL2 and all its mods long before I played HL1), but more so for the fact that it's a NEW and authentic Half Life title.
You can work around engine limits, but not time limits. The devs at Valve have only like 2 months before launch to completely do the Xen portions.
I don’t know why people hate xen so much, sure it’s really not as good as the rest of game but people make it out to be like the antichrist.
@@kylemason2836 You just answered your own question. Because it's not as good as the rest of the game.
Engine limitations LMFAO. Halflife was state of the art graphics in 1998 Dude. Yes the new game looks far superior, but in 1998 HL1 looked beautiful.
Basically Black Mesa is Half Life 3

We started in 2004/2005 with Black Mesa, can you imagine that?. I had to leave the project after about a year due some Unforeseen Consequences of school life :P I am proud of what the team managed to do with it after all these years!
what the hell did worked with them too
nice pun you put in there
I was 10 years old, when I first played the original Half-Life in the year 2000. The memories I have with this game are forever merged with the memories of my childhood and that is the probable reason why I cry when playing Black Mesa. It's either the nostalgia or the fact, that this remake is such a masterpiece that I am speechless. Xen is something else, when I was fighting Gonarch and the music from the trailer kicked in... damn, what a moment it was. Last time I felt something like this was at the end of Mass Effect 1... More than a game.
Uhhh jii is
Haha, love that Gordon went to give the Snark a belly rub

Black Mesa was a great remake of HL1, and XEN is just so awesome to play, i give the game 10/10
I would give 10/10 as well the first time I played it. But the more I played the more bug I notice. Probably just nitpicking. But i'd love to see them polished a little bit for the official release
Đức Anh Trần What do you think they’re doing?
10/10
Xen is worse in black mesa than it was in hl1. Sooooo long and boring.
ips honestly xen is probably the most boring place in half life 1 and black mesa, i didn’t enjoy it.
I feel Black Mesa sound design is closer to HL2 than HL1.
@@silentfilms7459 But hl1 sounds are too iconic
I would like to point out that Crowbar Collective also made the HECU Marines far more like actual Marines (and sound like actual people, too). For example, they replaced the M2 Bradley IFV with a LAV-25 and put vehicles like Humvees around in areas that you run into the HECU.
But they messed up the original ai design of the marines
MrToast 434 The AI seems fine to me
yeah, although i did like the hecu radio talk in original hl1, made them sound inhuman, but that doesn't mean i don't appreciate black mesa marines as well, such a good remake.
@@Giblet12 no, they just put the model on top of a combine soldier
in the original game, the HECU were prepared for a camper and someone who just rushes in guns blazing, but their weakness was they can't shoot when fleeing, which means snarks and grenades are their weakness, and each time you encounter a section with them, you better have a plan to kill them rather than: walk in, press right click with shotgun, walk out
@@jockeyfield1954 HECU been Combine Soldier that was at the start nowdays they are more or less rewritten yes there is still combine soldier AI code left buts it greatly changed.
that said I do miss the fact that HECU soldiers dont have the old HL1 one word/prase word building. would I like if they went whit only that?... no I rather that both was used.
like a solder could ether use the HL1 way or the new way and you sign that to the solder at spawn and it would use that only.
also one thing I sort of miss whit the old HECU is that yes they are/was called marines but I think its mention in some old design documents that they was more of a Independent special force div that recruited soldiers from all branches and gobbled what ever eq they felt needed.
so it Ranger battalion would rock up whit Bradley, the air cav had chopers, the navy had what the navy had.
Paratroppers would use something else and so on.
just wanted to take this chance of being early and thank you for your work...you doing a great job and your videos are really helpful, entertaining AND fun...keep up 👌
Glad to hear you’re able to start doing this full time. I only recently found your channel and I’m continually impressed by your content. I didn’t even realise this wasn’t a full time thing. Keep up the good work.
At 9:00 - 10:39 Scientists in the kitchen had much worse worries than Dr. Magnusson's spoiled microwave casserole. Now Gordon is testing all the weapons in the hallway beside them.

sliding is also extremely fun in xen with the long jump module!
Congrats on the switch! I'm honestly looking forward to more content, I love your videos. What're the odds of you making a more in-depth comparison of Black Mesa's level design? It's been so long since I've played HL that I don't remember how it goes and I'm hearing a lot about CC changed the level design, but no one's saying how exactly.
The level design is mostly identical, though there are quite a few new areas added in, and changes to weapon locations.
I might add a new in depth segment, but for now my focus is on producing more varied direct comparisons and higher quality reviews/documentaries
@@Nick930 That's legit, I'm excited to see what's next!
The gauss gun is actually supposed to penetrate through walls, you can see that when a security guard and scientist try the weapon out before you acquiring it
He says that in the video
If you look at the code, it traces a line through walls, and then it creates areal damage like an explosion behind the wall. The damage is much greater if the wall is thin. You don't need to aim directly at the enemy behind the wall; it is enough that you just aim in vaguely the right place.
what game has better fan remake than half life?
AM2R is an absolutely amazing fan remake of Metroid 2. I wouldn't say it's better than Black Mesa but it's definitely up there!
Tomb raider 2
resident evil remkaewas also crazy good. but black mesa is best D:
@@themuslimskeptic1111 resident evil is not a fan remake.
Sonic Mania is right up there
Im playing Black Mesa right now, and its a really impressive remake/re-imagining while staying true to the original. The team done a great job.
"smoother edges overall"
Yeah, try saying that to a bald guy next time.
Great video! Small thing, in HL1 you actually need to set your FOV to around 110 to get the actual equivalent to 90 as it was in 4:3, some kind of issue they didn't fix when making the game 16:9. It cuts off a bunch of the weapons models without that, can't see Gordon's hand on the pistol and stuff like that.
man i love this chanel
ur makeing the best comparations
i already see cod mw 2 and remasterd
u make a great job!!
I would like an op4 and blue shift versions of black mesa
Check out Operation Black Mesa and Guard Duty
If you bothered to google opposing force source you would find out there is already one.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 thanks ill check it out
I remember being on the Black Mesa forums in 2012 when they delayed the release just weeks before it was supposed to launch. I still haven't touched it because I want the game to be finished when I do play it.
Me 2, still waitin for the release 😵
It technically is finished now, Xen-Endgame is in Open Beta and can be played from start to finish
Wow, I can still remember my high school days when I used to talk to my friends about Black Mesa too.
And it is finished
I've played through Black Mesa more than once, not including Xen, I'm saving that for when it's post Beta. I personally feel Black Mesa is a masterpiece in of itself. I highly recommend Black Mesa to anyone who enjoys immersive FPS play or anyone who is a fan of the Half Life series.
I just picked it up on sale and completely agree with you. This is literally one of maybe even is the best remake/remaster of a video game I have ever seen. It fixes some really annoying problems in the original, updates the look and engine to something more modern, runs super smoothly, and literally fixes Xen which was one of the most mediocre part of the original.
The team did an amazing job here even if it took a long time I'd say it was 105% worth it
i cant believe it. they stole the door sound from doom to put it in the gauss cannon
This video reminded me that Half Life 2 Episode 2 was probably the first game I played where flashlights created shadows and the like. BM does a good job updating so much!
stairmasternem Doom 3 and F.E.A.R did it 3-4 years before.
Valve did go back to HL2 and EP1 and backported the EP2 visual improvements. Which was very cool back in the day.
I have a little idea, if I may:
For the sound design segment, you could have the videos side by side (like in the other segments) and then play one after the other. If the left video is playing, the right could be paused - and vice versa.
Much more efficient, don't you think?
gotta get the videos up to ten minutes somehow
@@Sketchman911 That would not change the time of the video
Sir Odinel the Fair Exactly.
thats what i called 'comparison video'.very nice dude,i loved it.
Love the graphical comparisons. Very tastefully done. Those with a sharp ear will immediately pick up on the gauss gun soundbyte update as a repurpose of a soundbyte we are all familiar with....the hydraulic doors open and close sequence in the DOOM of yesteryear. Good job guys, I like little trinkets and mini easter eggs of the like that tip the proverbial hat and pay homage to earlier incarnations of what got us here today. Awesome! Well done!!
The empty bullet/shell casing sound effect added a layer of aural realism in the original. But a great job overall by Crowbar Collective and a big thanks to them for introducing today's teens and tweens to this great game, as we once were!

crowbar collective > EA
Really ? did EA buy Crowbar collective? or P2W like EA
But EA is not a producing company
I really love how everything looks, especially the new water monster. I feel like the gonarch looks a little less good though. The half life version seems to have a transparent egg case and bouncier animations.
Thanks for the updates. They are informative
10:29 when the gun starts up it sounds like opening and closing door sounds from the original doom. idk why
it is
The best mod of all time about the best game of all time with the engine of the second best game of all time. Nice
It's an actual game at this point.
yea its not a mod now its practically an actual game just like cs as a half life mod
Great video!
10:16 Rocket launcher fires in the hallway. Behind the wall, someone casually says "How is the debugging procedure coming along?"
black mesa is one of my favourite games of all time, the way that it still keeps that retro game feel but with gorgeous graphics, i played through it once already but am in the middle of another playthrough as i wanted to experience xen as if it was always a part of the game. i gotta say xen is beautiful, and creepy. it perfectly captures the essence of "something went seriously wrong here but we were way too late to stop it". what a game
Black Mesa is a game crafted by Half-Life fans through and through, everything they've done thus far simply adds to the experience with very little if anything lost in the process.
If it wasn't for these comparisons some might not appreciate just how much work has been done
The sound/animation for Black Mesa's .357 Revolver is so perfect.. I can almost smell the gun powder every time I use it in the game. I love it.
Congratulations on the jump to full time! :)
Thx
You forgot to mention that with the recreation of Xen in Black Mesa, the entire game now mirrors a similar structure to Half Life 2 which I think was completely purposeful. This frames the 2 games together perfectly and adds to the mysterious themes of Gordon being a puppet in a world where he doesn't seem to have any control as he deals with forces he can never truly understand. An excellent recreation, one of the best games I've played.
Nice video, interesting to watch. Whats the name of the music track playing while the endcards are showing?
Hi Nick, thank you for the comparison with the explanations,
they did a good job on black mesa..
can you tell us what music you used in the video?
Thx you !

Half Life-Childhood
Black Mesa-Childhood HD
They did so well , awesome work especially with Zen
would be interesting to see if they end up porting the game over to source 2 in the future since valve had a internal tool to convert source games to work with source 2, it would allow crowbar collective to add improvements in the future like a full PBR system, and better water effects and lighting.
The Gauss gun can penetrate walls!?
8:17 I'm sure this weapon is still waiting for a upgrade in Black Mesa, as right now it has worse special effects than the original Half Life.... I'm sure the particles are going to be added (and they are gonna look incredible), the gun will shine when shooting, and the beam is going to emit light - that's my theory
The noises when freeman is inspecting the lazer gun i forgot the name of,its the door sounds in the first doom
Keep in mind that BMS uses some models from HλLF-LIFE² [e.g. headcrabs are the same, and vortiguants are modified from hl2]
And the HECU uses the same code as the Combines from HL2.
@@sonicdash9652 so no grenade-spamming soldiers?
I hope they add in an option that will switch the sound effects to the original just for fun
"Workshop"
I notice that the flash travels along with the barrel especially for the magnum handgun. Flash doesn't do that irl. Pls fix
I've said it before, and I'll say it again; you deserve WAAYYYY more subscribers
If I'm not mistaken, in the 2012 version of Black Mesa, the Gauss gun did leave sparks on the ground when using it but this effect was removed in the new, 2015/Steam version.
Wait did is a Doom sound
10:29
YES IT IS A DOOM SOUND
Stock sound effects.
In terms of sound design, the original wins for many reasons but the screams of the scientists and reactions are some of my favorite voice acting in any game. Very funny but unique, too.
Fun Fact: in half life 2, there is a black mesa reception for sector c remaster scene in one of g-man's talks, probably the one when alyx is being healed at episode 2, the devs probably got the inspiration for that background
5:41 turning the lighting down and gamma up a little makes half life look GREAT
Incredible update. I went back to play Half Life after having been introduced to the Half Life series with Half Life 2. I would have much preferred to have played the Black Mesa version :D
Imo whether you like it or not, Black Mesa represents a huge and significant Milestone in gaming history
2:03 The tip of the tie in the middle of the belt buckle. 👌
Great job! I just hope it Will support multilanguage in the future update.
The work of the the crowbar team is just amazing and I think if I say that the original his better than blackmesa or vice versa his a very limited reflexion because I think it is 2 differents experiences (black mesa is not just a simple remaster but a true remake). I play to half life for the nostalgia and I play black mesa to rediscover half life
God I can't wait to get a Gaming PC so I can play the Half-Life games! I have so many PC games on my bucket list to try once I get a Gaming PC. I want Half-Life 1 to be the first one I play once I get one. I just wonder if I should get a prebuilt Gaming PC or build one myself. I hear that building your own is better, but I would be afraid of screwing something up, and it end up not working and potentially breaking.
HL1 is so old it'll probably run on a toaster

kiyoaki1985 (Is generally bad.)
Uh, as a major HL1 fan, that'a just plain false.
@@BigHailFan How so? BM follows the anemic sound design of HL2. The sounds are "technically" better but the guns sound like peashooters and many essential sounds were missing last time I tried the remake. When you fall into the water in HL1 the ichtyosaur will come at you with that "GHGHRHHRHR" sound which used to scare the crap out of me, in BM he's just quiet. I'm generally not very impressed with BM, it adds too many unwelcome changes to the gameplay and misunderstands what made the original so much fun.
