i don't think episode 3 will come out, but half life 3 probably. there's the recent HLX leaks and valve said they had future plans for the scientist lady at the end of half life alyx, so there likely is a new half life game coming up

Blizzard: here is the same game, but fewer options and capabilities, and the art style completely sucks now Also Blizzard: oh yeah, we're rereleasing it again, mislead people by using bullshots, instead of actual screenshots, we're almost but not quite back to where we were before the initial re-release, and we only had 3 people working on it. Also, the art is AI upscaled and will contain tons of visual glitches. Money please!
@1lucia No, it's actually fine. Yours actually got my attention. One video I watched earlier was just him reading the patch notes entirely and I had to stop watching. Your picks on the patch notes are absolutely interesting, concise version of the notes I should say. Put me in the edge. Thanks, Lucia. On behalf of the peeps from the Lamwarp server, you have our greetings!
HDR is actually not at all what you described. That was eye adaptation. HDR rendering means the lighting calculations are done in a HDR space, so with a wide range of colors and brightness.
Think they explained HDR like he did in the Lost Coast commentary. I remember that specifically described that way and since then I still forget it's not the current explanation anymore when "HDR" is used.
High Dynamic Range means that there are more brightness and contrast values present than your monitor could effectively show and that the engine calculates for over- or under exposure to automatically adjust the gamma value. It's like a camera lens
The achievements update whenever you launch the game, so if you completed ep 1 fully and ep 2 it will automatically update the achievements list for you
You mean 2004. Remember, GTA San Andreas came out in 2004. NFS: Underground 2 and a buttload of other *_generation defining_* games were release that year.
@@MrLyosea i'm talking about the new stuff about those games that were just now released on this year, not 2004, read the comment again, with the context that both halo 2 and hl2 had they're beta's and e3's finally playable.
Not everything, you didnt mention weapon_stunstick_player, it is unused and you have to change/add some stuff to make it work, but it is a thing in the update
Hears, "They added workshop support! ", then proceeds to redonload Half-life 2 and go through the workshop for an hour before I watch the rest of the video!
I'm so happy for you bro I never heard you so excited as you were in the beginning of this video. I hope this helps your channel blow up and bring the modding community together ❤
Heyo! Great Video, however at @3:24 this is not at all what HDR is. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and allows for more intense contrast and color range on certain types of monitors. What you are describing here is called "eye adaptation effect" or Auto Exposure in some engines, which is a visual effect we use to simulate the light sensitivity wash that humans get from their pupils still being dialated when they look at the sun.
Being both a Fallout and Half Life fan. It’s makes me happy to see an anniversary update being given love in comparison to the Next gen update we had gotten this year.
dude i never knew the citadel was animated, its been broken for so long. But now it moves like it was supposed too! also so many Lightning bugs Are fixed, makes me notice how broken hl2 has been for so long..
im so glad they added workshop support this will gave some mods a chance to be played i hope for next years they will do the same 20 anniversary for portal 1 team fortress 2 and left 4 dead 1/2 day of defeat
We are so BACK (Me who has for years now struggling to install mods into HL2 because its not on my C disc and i dont have space on my C disc) Hopefully, they'll add Mmod soon!
It's funny how there are 50k ish people online for a 20 years old game ...... GabeN again proved why he and his team are Chads. Just build good games people will come.
Great vid as always Lucia ! One strange thing about HL2 DM is that you can no longer buy it stand alone. You can only get HL2 DM when buying the Orange Box. :(
I downloaded it again just the other day to check it out on my new video card and the fact that HL2 and the following 2 episodes are together bow blew me away! I was like THAT'S AWESOME! and it is!
I have ever only played HL2 once as I consider it a very lengthy game. I didn't have any plans to replay it ever again, but damn, this update will force me to play it again. Good freaking job, volvo
I was hoping they'd add a engine wide peer to peer steam networking support like HL1. Imagen what that could do for dead Sourcemods. I still love and welcome this update, but HL1 definetly got the longer end of the stick.
I typed in console “ save_transition_music 1 “ and it started working… looks like valve forgot to turn ON few of console commands for this update for the ability to upload your work on workshop it’s “developer 1” in console, for music transition between maps it’s “save_transition_music 1” I wonder what else did they forgot ? 🤔
I kind of wish they found some way to emulate OG Xbox soundeffects(ofc makong them optional). And givong Gordon some player model with animations from HL2Deathmatch, based off the concept art/wallpapers. And maybe extra gift as 2000 beta aesthetics pack with Trenchcoat metrocops, Barney and Alyx among other things for final game.
They really took all my achievements from HL2 e1 and e2 due to the change so now I have to do everything again 🙃 Edit: You get all the Achievements, you just have to restart the game
This game is only one year younger than me, and now I finally get to play it. I finally get to experience greatness in its full great glory. Who knew waiting for at least more than a decade after being late to experience the first one gets me HL2?
Reinstalled both half life games, black mesa got updates too not too long ago. I got the games for a friend who has never ever played them but played counter strike back in the day. I have literally no words.
I was playing this new version of Half-Life 2 yesterday and the windows became white when moving away from them, but I was so confused by this because I don't remember it ever happening before. Wtf?
I took this as an opportunity to show the game to my girlfriend, who has never heard of Half-Life 2 before. You wouldn't believe how relaxing it is to just grab a beer, sit back and watch her experience it for the first time ever.
Your gameplay you have in the second half the video, are you using mods or did they change a bunch of the weapons features? Like the eye glow trails, weapon firing changes, sprint animation stuff
The 64bit update is less performance concerns and more "the engine can now use more than 4GB of RAM because it can count higher than 4,294,967,295", which means the game could hypothetically exceed it's current entity limits if modified to do so. If you're curious what the current limit is for memory now that it's been built for 64bit, it's exectly 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes, or around 17,179,869,184 GB, assuming your CPU is actually capable of addressing that much memory.
HDR isn't Gordon's eyes adjusting to bright areas (although it might be part of the setting). To be brief, High Dynamic Range is a wider range of colors that can be displayed on HDR-compatible screens, and enhances contrasting colors to give more detail.
This is one of the best days ever for me man. I grew up on half life 2, counter strike Source, and tf2. I have played countless hours of community made maps and content, and would not have my love for PC gaming and modding if not for this game.

Like the eye glow trails, weapon firing changes, sprint animation stuff
nice summary thanks :)
The 64bit update is less performance concerns and more "the engine can now use more than 4GB of RAM because it can count higher than 4,294,967,295", which means the game could hypothetically exceed it's current entity limits if modified to do so.
If you're curious what the current limit is for memory now that it's been built for 64bit, it's exectly 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes, or around 17,179,869,184 GB, assuming your CPU is actually capable of addressing that much memory.
You should play the RE2 Source remake in HL2. Found it in the new workshop page
HDR isn't Gordon's eyes adjusting to bright areas (although it might be part of the setting). To be brief, High Dynamic Range is a wider range of colors that can be displayed on HDR-compatible screens, and enhances contrasting colors to give more detail.
Finally, now we can have Garry's Mod 2.
This is one of the best days ever for me man. I grew up on half life 2, counter strike Source, and tf2. I have played countless hours of community made maps and content, and would not have my love for PC gaming and modding if not for this game.
