The Half-Life 3 thread of closure and memorium AKA what Tyler McVicker just said on YouTube

Real sign of the times when the half life 3 thread turns into current day issues

VR wasn’t realistic enough of a medium for delivering an intense first person dystopia, so Valve made it such that everyday waking reality is actually HL3.

Love Civvie, gonna enjoy this

One of his best videos to date. I was worried there for a moment he was gonna play with the terrible HD models

You and me both, I was just about to board the express to Nova Prospekt.

Ehhh, the HD models aren't that bad...

no mention of Valley of Gods, hopefully they are getting back to it (and not making it VR exclusive).

I can play with both the old models and new ones, it doesn't bother me either way. Problem with the HD pack is that it doesn't fit so well in the base game compared with the expansions, it also wasn't finished, so the quality is mixed, but some of the new models are decent like the Vortigaunt and the Human Grunt (which replaces a model that has barely changed since the 1997 Alpha) and yeah I like the Barney model as well, come at me bros.

Only good hd model was the shotgun, rest were nah. Just didn't like the look., I thought they took away from the character of the game, not enhance.

Yeah, it made the age of the game more evident. It needed to also provide better textures.

Controversial opinion: Adding HD to old games to "improve" their appearance in-fact makes them look worse.

Support for 4k, FOV options, better input and key mapping. Done.

The only remaster I have seen done right is the command and conquer remaster.

Fucking. Hell.

PS: Yes dux, I did have a very pleasant wank over this before you ask
