Thread 719113797

(Lab Practicum starts playing)

I thought this was the final stage of goldeneye.

idk bro this section kinda gets close to capturing the things i love about hl1 but it just doesnt quite get there
the platforming in hl2 feels so terrible

*creak*
*wind howling*
*health pickup sfx*

>>719113797 (OP)
ravenholm exit and particle ghost is kino-er though

>>719113943
source engine has some of the best movement out there still to this day

>>719113919
Kek same

>>719113797 (OP)
Dissapointed about the friction

>>719114242
>some of the best movement
>you're just a smoothly hovering camera
okay dude

>valve has some megastructure loving concept artists
>half life 2 is mostly sewers, outdoor areas or parking lots
What a massive waste

>>719114528
well yes, for precision platforming it's extremely good. auto friction near edges, duck jumping, very precise control in the air, etc

I'm not convinced it isn't. Fun fact, the radio telescope where that was filmed was in disrepair for a number of years and finally collapsed on itself a few years ago.

>she quicksaved
You didn't cross the bridge.

>>719114528
Yes. The only difference is that HL1 has the slight view roll when strafing, which most people don't even remember because they didn't play the versions before it was patched out. Every engine with Quake movement as the base is good.

Who could have seen this coming?

I recognize it from the BF4 map.

>>719113797 (OP)
Half life 2 aged like shit
it's funny seeing vtubers tries to play it but they all said how boring it is

>>719115360
Well it was in puerto rico, so the US could have done something if they wanted to. but they didn't.

>>719113797 (OP)
This part of the game in the VR port was so fucking kino, I kinda want to put on the headset and do it again

>>719114528
they hate how little it takes to make us happy

>>719115197
>>719115393
Guilty as charged.

>>719115580
all of HL2 VR was such a fantastic time. i'm upset i played it before alyx

>>719113797 (OP)
no way fag

This level is unbeatable king of atmospheric levels

To this day, 20 years later

>>719114242
no trust me i really do like source engine movement. but something about the jumping in hl2 in particular feels off to me
why do you get a slight horizontal speed boost when you jump
why does you speed change so rapidly after you land out of an airstrafe into a crouch. jumping in left 4 dead feels perfectly fine. it's just hl2 and portal 1 that bug me

>>719115197
I used to quicksave, now I sprint jump between beams as god intended.

Announcement this year

>>719116228
Valves hate-boner for bunnyhopping and all the stupid "fixes" they've put in like not allowing buffered jumps is so fucking brain damaged. Expecially when that stupid backwards jump is perfectly acceptable in their eyes. We now have a community of people with mousewheel bound to fucking jump.

>>719116228
like hl1 thats some fucking kino movement
almost the exact same code but with slightly different numbers and missing these extra mechanics
how can hl1 feel like it does more with less?

>>719116586
Because Half-Life is just Quake with a speed cap and no trimping.

this is the only level that didn't play well in VR because it's too difficult to dash and jump with those shitty controllers

>>719116686
god trimping is so kino too

>>719116287
After Alyx I lost any hope for good singleplayer game by valve.

>>719117264
Alyx wasnt bad its only issue it was VR shit

>>719117264
little timmy you never even had a VR headset how can you say that

That section is insane in VR

>>719117775
I wish this song was longer

>>719118334
I do, too. Alyx's OST fucking SUCKED.

>>719116228
It's different there because the edge friction system interferes with it probably. Watch the HL2 and HL1 making of documentaries. I had no idea that edge friction system existed but in sections like the bridge where you platform on narrow beams or get close to ledges, they ramp movement friction way up to help people not fall off. It wasn't skill.

>>719118334
His music is all remixed sample CDs. You can become him yourself.

Same guy also claimed that when you jump off ramps in the buggy, they just turn off gravity for you and then gradually fade it back in.

>>719119609
They straight up admit it in the 20th anniversary documentary. They found out that they couldn't make the buggy very fast or else players would just blast through all the levels too quickly, but then when they made it slow it didn't have enough momentum to make the jumps, so they came up with the gravity trick.

>>719116056
Where's the rest of the bridge? Is this the fabled backrooms?

>>719120264
the rest of the bridge is on the other side of the bridge

>>719113919
What are you talking about? It is.

>>719119446
actually, where is that defined in code? i've been looking through it for a while but can't find it

>>719114528
Well, yeah. You're never actually eye height in games.
