#High resolution textures half life 1 upgrade

This omission of graphical upgrade really irked me. However, as I detailed in a post almost two years ago, Valve couldn’t even be bothered to do some decent textures or models for the port, despite them having most of the necessary materials already created for HL2. So, along comes Half-Life: Source, a straight port of Half-Life content into Half-Life 2’s Source Engine.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to get into some Source Engine modding ever since Half-Life 2 came out and sure, I’ve wanted to do my own total-conversion mod (who hasn’t?) but knew I lacked the attention span to do so. Although I haven’t been playing it lately, the inadequacies of SimCity are making me consider going back to Tropico-it just seems like the right balance of macro- and micro-management in a city-builder game. But I find the low-action gameplay to be sleep-inducing, and it makes me wonder how long the game will stay interesting. It’s definitely interesting to see your city take shape and how your choices affect that. It’s been a while since I loaded up SimCity 4, but I was quite surprised to find its graphics were still mainly sprite-based, which is a bit jarring after playing so many 3D games with freely-moving cameras. Given the recent SimCity debacle that’s been in the news, I (and it seems many other players) have given the previous SimCity game a whirl.

Regardless, I applaud their efforts as it’s definitely fun and action-packed. And it shows as there are places where the quality is noticeably amateur. Obviously, it’s a little too ambitious to remake a whole game when no one is getting paid hell, Valve didn’t even want to do a proper job with Half-Life: Source. I’ve mentioned this mod years ago, but it only just got released recently. The only problem is that it ends too quickly.īlack Mesa is a community remake of the original Half-Life using the newer Source Engine. It has just the right balance of puzzles and blowing shit up to make it incredibly fun. As happens on occasion, I’ve been going nostalgic with my gaming choices lately.ĭarwinia is a cute and clever real-time strategy game where you help a fictitious researcher regain control of a simulated cyber-world from a malware infestation.

The only reason I settled on that job was that it was 2009, when the economy was quite lousy.īut now with my rediscovered freedom, I have copious amounts of free time and thus time for video games. But I will say that the pay was way too low, and good luck to them finding someone with my skill level willing to work for so little.

Source SDK (SDK, Base, Base 2007) installed (you can get them in Steam | Tools).For several reasons much too personal for the internet, I decided to leave my job at Longwood a couple weeks ago.

The full version includes HL2 episode 1 and 2 as well. You can decide to only mod the visuals or you want to add a new OST set? Weapon zoom? Weapon recoil? New hardest difficulty? You can do it all, it has a great setting option to optimize what you want. The final graphic mod for HL2 is out and looks AMAZING.

Who doesnt love the Half Life series? Except the trolls.
