Link or it doesn’t exist.

I started to play Black Mesa almost a year ago now, and I just stopped after a few maps, last I remember I was in the office complex and going through the cafeteria, then I just had to prioritise other stuff when I was on the PC, or just preferred the ease of slumping on the couch with the pad.

I actually played it with the controller, plugged into my living room TV, when the full release came out.

It's worth playing through the whole thing, just to see how they reimagined Zen, which was pretty well done, imo.

How good is the pad with the game? Did you play at easier setting?

I’d be up for it, problem is I can never be arsed to connect the PC to the tv, despite its a laptop, still a chore. I only do to play coop games with my partner.

@blackdog Speaking of remakes ever heard of Peer Review? It's a decay remake.

Ja, but haven’t played HL2 mods since 2015-2016 I think. I remember that when I got my gaming laptop in 2014 I started catching up with all the great add-one like Mission Improbable, some maps from RTSL competitions (I was trying to participate as well). I think the last one I played was probably Downfall.

Last time I played it was the Map Labs competition

when Operation Black Mesa, Guard Duty and Peer Review would came out it would be epic!

Talking about this, you make me want to look into remaking The Long Night, an add-on my friend released for HL1, before we worked on Riot Act.

Yeah was a great experience to be part of, although there is not a single brush placed by me in the mod. It was originally supposed to be constituted of 3 levels (three different environments/missions), I was supposed to work on the second while Germano was on the first. He wisely decided to downsize the mod to ensure it would actually ship, so I then started working on the second map of the first level... and we quickly realised there were some noticeable artistic differences in the execution (I guess we were not mature enough to think of creating a style guide/building blocks to facilitate that), so I stopped mapping. He reused my paper designs though, the second map is based on my design, as well some bits of the third map.
I ended up in charge of doing all the QA and managed the creation of the trailer.

This looks really damn good.
