    I think it makes sense that the citizens run away from Gordon. Everywhere he goes, combine soldiers are soon to follow and destroy everything. The citizens just want to save themselves. There are also these broadcasts from the consul where he says Gordon is dangerous and they should hide and report him. The guys at the canals help you because they are rebels. Maybe the mod devs could give them different clothes to make this more obvious

    I'm fine with the stun stick. If you remove it, players are going to complain that they can't pick it up and use it, if you add it in, players are going to complain why we need two melee weapons.
    It's just a world building weapon.
    15:50 I don't mind, it's a taste of what's to come.
    16:37 HL1 weapons made sense, IDK why HL2 weapons are all over the place. You get an AKM in an American setting (NYC most likely), but it's removed in retail where it made sense, but the MP7 is still there.... in an Eastern Europe setting.
    28:32 Woah, I really like this, mods should do this more often. It's taking the OP4/BS idea of different perspectives in the same events but in just one game rather than 3.

    • @ema4020
      @ema4020 6 місяців тому +13

      about the weapons i think it's kinda accepted that the combine took a bunch of human weapons, modified them and turned them into standard issue for the whole overwatch military and civil protection.
      that's why you can find mp7's, usp match's and spas 12's all over city 17.

    • @bobert211
      @bobert211 5 місяців тому

      i have a proposition to the second timestamp, the combine in retail love to take something a species already has and then modify it in ways that the combine sees as more efficient, that's why instead of using easier more alien vehicles to transport things they use human trains and trains of they're own design, they don't have to do much extra work setting up infrastructure for these new vehicles and they look familiar to the citizens of earth which provides some comfort. so i believe the combine took inspiration from these human weapons and made they're own standard issue guns for the garrison of earth.

    The reason why Half-Life 2's Beta Remaster is so good is because it does something new and not just tries to recreate the entirety of the beta but combines elements from the beta and the final build of the game.
    Wishing it best of luck to see it reach the final release one day.

    • @QuintessentialWalrus
      @QuintessentialWalrus 17 днів тому +4

      Yeah, Half-Life modders are obsessed with beta recreations for some reason but RTBR is a clear cut above the rest. There are plenty of original ideas in there and it's also well made on a technical level -- you can see the effort put into it. I still prefer retail HL2, but RTBR is so impressive in its own right that it genuinely feels like the game Valve wanted to make in 2002 or so. It's like the overly ambitious ideas inside the devs' brains became real in some parallel universe, and now we get to see it.

    My understanding of why citizens run away from you is because you're Gordon. They know you're going to cause trouble, and that the combine are after you. Which means trouble for them that they want to avoid. Therefor, avoid Gordon.
    And even if they didn't, I'd probably run away from some dude with a gun and some clunky orange suit too.
    The Rebels don't care because Barney told them you were coming, and they already signed up for trouble by being Rebels in the first place.
    As for why they don't talk sometimes, I assume that's just a result if this being developed by such a small crew and it being considered an "Unnecessary detail we can give attention to later."
    Personally, I found Ravenholm in this mod scarier than the original, the original just never really got scared by the original one. But with Redux, I found myself thinking "I REALLY don't want to be here anymore" because the area was getting to me. Really wish I could mercy kill the gonarch.
    I had a great time with Redux and I'm excited to see this updated more.

    The whole scene when you step out of the train is such a 'vibe' the sunset and the looming tower with the lighting...it's oddly cozy and nostalgic for me, like when I was a kid and there's a afternoon sunset.
    Also, I think the citizens that don't respond could easily be improved if only their heads look wistfully up at you and then back down again, as if they are soo down-trodden they ain't got motivation to speak.

    You losing all your weapons during particle storm makes sense to clear you out of certain weapons, that fin the theme of previous chapters and replace them with identical weapons that fit the theme of future chapters.
    In this exact example both AKM and OICW fill the same role of AR2esque weapon, a powerful high damage rifle. During particle storm you lose AKM to get it replaced by OICW later.

    The citizens before the combat don't talk to you or ignore you because it draws attention from the combine. Once you get your weapons the Combine will try to kill you and may associate the citizens with you, bullets flying, you are holding guns, announcements from Admin, etc etc. The citizens in the canal are rebels, of course they would help you. This is one thing I noticed while playing the original Half-Life 2: Why do all the citizens fully support you? They are risking their lives for some random guy in an orange suit showing up 20 years later from a science experiment gone wrong. Some people could be twenty years old when Freeman shows up, having no knowledge of the events besides aliens invaded and now they took over our world. Anyways, great video!

    What's amazing to me is the gargantuan difference between the beta and the final game in terms of look and feel, how the scenes tell the story, story elements...It's as if separate teams were working on two totally different games with some similar assets.

    The Barney voice sounds like someone doing an impression of a completely different character. Like they are trying to make the pitch of their voice really low, even though Barney doesn't have a low voice even in the first Half Life. Really one of the last things I would have expected to hear when he opened his mouth.

    Played this mod and I mostly liked the part where we we're in city 17, the whole place reminds me of the Mombassa streets from Halo 3 ODST, it's oddly satsfying.

    You know about the intro, I really liked RadHaz's interpretation of GMan's original intro scene since it shows how it might've looked in action and I agree that it is kinda.. dull in some aspects
    I also really love a lot of the points you made, some of the un-interactable citizens were a pretty huge bummer and at the very least should've looked at you if you did try interacting with them like in retail.
    You're not wrong about Water Hazard's chapter considering is did drag and some sections were while fun very objective based and you did have to stop in many chapters.
    [Also there's some funny irony with your dislike of the beta voice since the vorts you meet in Division 3 have unique voices, one resembling the HL2 Beta's version and the other especially more in-line with HL2's retail pre-episode 2 voice. Just thought that was a little funny]
    I think the mod is at it's best is during Ravenholm, the areas were extensive but understandable and fun. You're correct with saying it's probably even better than the original, although one nitpick I had is that to me Grigori's head is not that great looking although it's not terrible to look at. I know it's trying to look like the original leak head where Grigori looked like some famous painter or king but to me his voice doesn't match his face I guess. But it's subjective and anyone else doesn't have to think the same way.
    I also had a few fun facts about the VA's, Barney's voice actor is the same as Colbert's from Thunder's Leaves and the male Metrocop's voice actor seems to be Bec's voice actor from EZ:2 and EZ:Uprising.
    Overall I wish this team some great luck on this. I know that it might take years for RTB:R to get fully done but I'm certain it'll get better from here. Division 3 looks good and although I know the Hunter's are a hassle I don't mind them, challenging enemies to me can be fun. Great video again noclick!

    The 2 different melee weapons are because they both do different types of damages.
    You also have other rifles based on how they would make sense like the AK and AR3.

    15:44 in the original script, Ravenholm was before Eli's lab. If they want to keep this loadout but also be true to valve, they should play around with the idea of switching your weaponry more. Making your choose between weapons (So players that want the Crowbar can keep it, and chads that like the stun stick can use that)
    31:34 Ravenholm was a minerary town. That's why there's a giant mineshaft under it. Probably XEN infected it. I wish the modders take time to not make the Combine this super-overpowered faction, and instead make them just another faction you have to fight. Maybe more intelligent than the alien grunts you encountered in hl1, but i'd be happier if they discarded the whole 7 hours war shenanigan. from a writing perspective is perplexing to say the least (this wouldn't make them any less of a threat, it would just make Freeman plausible).
