man im not a graphics dork at all usually but after my recent replay of HL2 (which as Toups alluded to upthread has thoughtful visual design that works really well on lo-fi graphics settings, aka the only settings my broke-ass laptop can play anything on) seeing this really lush next-gen version of City 17 got me embarrassingly hype

Also lol @ valve leaning into their core competency by turning Alyx into a pair of floating hands

Damn, him AND Breen? They were the two best VAs in there, by far. That really hurts.

Palmer Luckey is a bit of a Dr Breen type character come to think of it, especially with his new paramilitary drone company

it does not in any way require oculus

it IS vr exclusive but I guess eventually ppl are gonna mod it to be a normal fps or something, but who knows if the experience will even translate?

higher graphical fidelity was not worth the loss of at least some sort of mod tools almost becoming standard with every big shooter game back when. going from that to games as service horseshit, it’s the dismal tide

what’s the best way to play half life 1 now

i found black mesa mehhhh, so do i want the original release or the source version?

I feel like the source version is probably easier to get to run on modern machines.

but I prefer the “feel” of the goldsrc version.

but casually I don’t think it really matters? they are both pretty similar.

Source introduces a lot of bugs, and it adds HL2 water which looks out of place. The Steam version of og HL1 works on Win10, technically the pre-steam version looks a little better but it’s not a big deal.

Related question: Can I turn off the high definition textures in the original releases or do I have to use the Source one to get those classic weapon models back?

Unless they changed something the HD pack has always been something you opt-in to on Steam
