For some. And regardless, it was also an important part of the game. Making it and ST a fraction of their original length while also trying to make Xen longer is contradictory reasoning. It's also dishonest marketing. When you say that you're doing a faithful recreation of Half-Life, it damn better be faithful. You can add shit to it, you shouldn't be taking shit away.

Well other than being delayed for a undeniably retarded reason, what's wrong with their interpretation of Xen? Xen was already awkward looking because of the low poly graphics back then and it was actually the worst part of the game for me simply because it was the ugliest to look at out of everything else.
I don't see why the fuck they are trying to prolong the experience much longer than it needs to be but other than that, the designs seem fine.

Because Acde Combat 7 is developing and needed more time, Bannerlord devs were busted going full anti consumer, and Black Mesa is cutting content, adding stupid shit, and then expanding an area when no one asked them to expand it and that is the reason for the delay.
Two games are being faggots and one needed more time to get done to not be shit.
>>13858981
>what's wrong with their interpretation of Xen?
The original Xen was true alien world with it's own unique concepts that were built by a species that were not like our own.
Their version is just an alien textured human world. It's boring just like the aliens from Crysis went from unique alien race with their own method of fighting to, shitty humanoid enemies.
If they wanted to do a return to xen like game where humans have been there post Half Life 1 it would be justifiable, but this is Half Life 1 before there were humans in Xen.

And Xen itself doesn't look alien at all except for the skybox. It's deep sea/sea cave themed and looks way over designed.
Xen should look alien yet purposeful, like nothing makes sense at first but at the same time understandale that it shouldn't make sense to someone from a differen't dimension, let alone a human.

It was a pretty appalling place to cut my internet teeth on, I'm glad I found imageboards at around the same time. No idea if the place is still up along with all my cringey posts. Needless to say given the fractured culture of the development team it was inevitable that Black Mesa was going to be a fragmented mess should it ever be released. I don't think I once heard anyone seriously talk about how they were going to tackle the Xen levels.

Also keep in mind that Surface Tension was smaller because some guy dropped off the project and didn't deliver the levels he was assigned to.
When I've played the mod version for the first time, I didn't mind the shorter On A Rail mostly because they already announced that they were going to cut it, but I was pretty shocked at how Surface Tension was slashed without warning. It was one of the most important chapters of the game.
On another topic, the human presence on Xen wasn't retconned, on HL you could find corpses of previous survey teams in various places on Xen.

The retconning is not about humans presence, but how long it been. Because yes hl made some hints that xen was already researched by scientists, but in xen maps there wasn't anything hinting that except from dead hev scientists.
But i think there was some concept art about human's tech on xen or maybe i'm thinking about fan-art
Even scene with soldiers in xen during gman speech was just a piece of earth in xen background, hinting onto random earth pieces teleporting to xen not the long presence of humans on xen.

I've played all HL games + this and to be honest I really do like Black Mesa despite some of the differences from the first game. Frankly, Crowbar Collective are the only ones working on the Half Life series right now and there's little difference between them and an actual Valve dev team when you think about it. Considering what Valve does with mods and their dev teams, It's likely that after CC are finally done with Xen, Valve might hand Half Life 3 to them so all this shit might not be that pointless.

>It's impressive that they've made one of the best (semi) full remakes by a non AAA studio.
>Best
Black Mesa loses the flow of the original (which had combat be exciting and fast paced and tries to be more like something like STALKER where you're just peering out of cover a lot. Doesn't work in linear maps) and a lot of the maps are over designed to the point where they lose visual flow that the original game had. It started to make me appreciate the subtleties in the original game's level design since the devs had to work hard to get you to notice things whereas in Black Mesa they just want to make everything look cluttered.
Then there's how they deliberately want to avoid remaking things like Xen and instead just want to leave the game half finished without an ending the entire thing is building up to. And charge money for it.
To me it hardly qualifies as "best" anything.
>It's impressive that they re-hired most of the original voice actors
That's not impressive most of these voice actors have imdb pages and agents. They also most likely have a direct line to Valve so that really helps in that regard. They also started charging 20$ for the mod and that goes a really long way toward getting one-off voice actors to record lines.
>It's impressive that updated alot of the weapons and overall gameplay to be more realistic.
That isn't realistic it makes the game much slower and less balanced. In the original fighting Xen creatures and the military was equally interesting. In BMS Xen creatures are a joke and the Military is overpowered. It makes the game played in short bursts of action and quickloading and is dull compared to the original's frenetic weaving in and out of combat. It feels like they're trying to make the enemies designed for a non-linear game in linear maps and it doesn't work.

He's referring to how Half-Life 2 expects you to be familiar with characters who are barely in HL1 or were created specifically for HL2. Ross Scott mentioned this with his series with HL2 that characters like Barney being chummy with Gordon is awkward.
This also wasn't how the game was designed originally, in the game's beta it was completely different. It was done later among other changes because they felt like the game wasn't like the original enough so they did things like make Breen be the original Black Mesa administrator to tie things together better.

But original Xen was bland as fuck, they just made it average. All it needs is to have a passable quality same for the boss battle just to finish the game already, you can just sprinkle some confetti over it.
It will be same disappointment as the original, but "prettier".

If these devs were serious creators they wouldn't be spending over a decade on one project, which is a recreation of a game that isn't theirs. It is such a dumbass quest to begin with that none of this can be surprising. At least with DNF they were scamming Take2.

Ace Wombat had the Aygayon, so pretty much yes. Although this huge ass plane produces drones, not fighter jets. It might just be a very big autonomous shit up fucker instead of a human controlled enormous shit up fucker.

same. What was your name? I might remember you. I feel like I was too cringey to reveal my own name…
Now I do remember the female member of the dev team, the one that had the cat in the name I think. Females in a community are usually a bad sign!
Also, last I checked: none of the old boys even worked on this game after the first demo release, it's just some random fuckers.
could you tell some stories on the "batshit stalkers in their 40s"? I didn't really have that interaction(maybe I was naive), but it would be interesting to see what happened in secret.

If you want to criticize black mesa, shit on it for something it actually deserves to be harped on for, like how they promised it would be free and then became sellouts, or how slow the development has been, or how buggy it STILL is despite the years of time they've had to work out the kinks. Or how the voice acting is weak. Or how uneven and wonky the game balance is.

Have you ever played the original Half-Life in your life? There are several segments where it's specifically necessary to crouch jump to get to an area.
>it looked even worse in HL
It looked fine. People are shitting on BM's Xen because it looks nothing like fucking Xen.
>yes you can
Much less than in the original. Several NPCs that were completely killable in the original suddenly became important to plot progression (like the guy in the Power Up level who you can't kill anymore because the devs decided that players were too lazy to walk ten feet to flip a goddamn switch) so you can't harm them anymore without getting a game over).

searx is a public domain source code where anyone can make their own version. The guys who made it will shut down theirs deliberately to encourage it in fact. So unless you enjoy that deliberate bottle necking using a fork leads to faster results.
