The HD models are extra bad since they're not ports of the original Gearbox Blue Shift models, but fan-made Source models Valve just shoved in there after a Github pull request.
I always wondered how Valve didn't get claimed by Berretta for clearly using their logo on an otherwise un-named 9mm pistol prior to learning that. That's because they technically didn't make the texture.
Fun fact: A lot of the things wrong with HL:source weren't present upon release. The super shiny floors were a later addition, so was the scientist floating above the chair.
@@karolynesuguimoto2222 They look out of place compared to the environments for one. They also inexplicably change some of the weapon models for no reason. They'd be good if they actually made the maps HD too but having HD character and weapon models on LD maps/environments clashes so much.
I left the stream when chat asked to turn on low rez so I thankfully escaped the hellscape that is hl source btw I love these types of jokey vids hope you make more
A lot of source’s issues came in 2014 with a patch to the source engine where Ross had been down with most of the first season so the issues with places such as residue process didn’t exist
I asked my friend with HL1 game is better because I got the Orange Box and my friend told me “HL:Source” So I played the entirety of HL on *this*, in 2021. I still don’t know what HL1 looks like but if Richter is so mad I guess it’s better
If you're not used to old games, I don't think you'll see many differences. But in short, Half Life Source adds a lot of unnecessary graphic "upgrades" to the game. Individually, those upgrades are fine. Reflective water is fine, real time lights are fine, physics are fine... But they don't match the original art style, at all. It's like if you would take an old Mario game on the nes and add dynamic lighting and a few 3D objects mixed with the old 8-bit highly pixellated style of the original game. It would be just ugly. Also, Source adds some minor bugs and the gameplay is slighty different. For example, the mp5 (the assault rifle if you play with HD models) shouldn't behave like that. In the original, you aim, you shoot, there is no fake recoil that jerk the camera around. In short, by default, you should always play a game as it was meant to be played. It's a bit like the difference between the classic Star Wars movies and the "special edition" of those movies.
Here's the guide to playing the original Half-Life in the worst way possible! Step 1: Load up Half-Life Source. If you don't have it and you have some money to waste, buy Half-Life Source on Steam. Step 2: Put all the video settings as low as possible, and make sure HD models are on (because let's be honest, the HD models in HL: Source are worse than the original textures). Step 3: Input the following console commands: sv_cheats 1 (having this off will prevent you from doing some of these commands) mat_fullbright 1 mat_showlowresimage 1 mat_viewportscale 0.15 (please don't set this to 0, the whole screen basically becomes like 10 pixels, no joke.) R_waterdrawreflection 0 r_waterdrawrefraction 0 (bonus command): fps_max 25 (or any other number) (bonus command 2): thirdperson
I actually think it looks kind of cool, honestly. Could have been a kickass DS version back in the day. It's almost stylized, like a purposeful aesthetic.
13:18 back in the days of cs1.5 my dumb ass friend used a command that make the game looks like this whenever we play on lan and he says it makes him better at the game
Games are too focused on making everything hi-res with thousands of polygons and billions of pixels until it just looks like an over-designed mess. I want that ULTRA LOW-DEFINITION, LOW-POLYGON, LOW COLOUR DEPTH, RTX OFF, UNDERHAULED, TWENTY FPS, QVGA, COMPRESSED AUDIO, DEMASTERED experience.
I gotta say, I love that all your videos are in a 4:3 aspect ratio. It gives you your own style. Pretty sure most people would be really aliened if you would use an 16:9 ratio
Recently, I just managed to make an archive for fixed versions of Half-Life Source's Single Player campaign maps that one can download on Internet Archive if they searched for HLS, by combining the BSP files from both Kennert007's Half-Life Source Fix Pack and BloodyMuffin's Half-Life Source Fixed in a zip file so that players don't have to see any of the infamous map geometry and visual-related map leaks.
At some point you stopped playing half life and started playing an early quake build programmed while drunk that got left on a dusty floppy that probably only got thrown away today
Man, with full bright turned on, this game looks like og Doom. Doom was like 5 years old when Half Life came out and didn't even have the ability to look up and down so seeing Half Life like this just feels hilariously anachronistic.

It is good to have a mixture of content for creative freedom as well as this being very well edited and enjoyable
I wouldn't mind more highlights because your streams get chaotic

i heard that multiplayer hd models are community created but i never heard this case
You can literally see the signature of one of the artists in the textures.
Yeah, they are made by A. Denisov, who is known as "Stone"

RIP RICHTER, launched HL:S
Your fate was sealed the second you booted up source.
I actually think it looks kind of cool, honestly. Could have been a kickass DS version back in the day.
It's almost stylized, like a purposeful aesthetic.
You should check out Ultrakill/Gloomwood
Reminds me of MW2 on DS
As I saw the title I wanted to make a joke comment saying "Just play half life source" but I realised that is exactly what you did.
The worst way to experience Half Life is by not using a device.
HL1/HL2 ambience is the shit.
legend says . that the reason why Randy pitchford is so greasy . is because he the only guy who like Half life source .
Half dead: divorce
>The absolute WORST way to experience Half-Life
>Half-Life: Source
That's enough already
9:45 We do a little trolling, it's called we do a little trolling.
Tf2 low setting players:this is fine.
Judging by Richter's opinion on cheese he might as well just eat pizza and lasgna without it, also great highlight format.
I love the smaller aspect ratio of some of these videos. It makes me feel so nostalgic
I started screaming as soon as I saw low poly half-life source.
RICHTER DID NOT DENY THAT HE EATS BURGERS BY THE LAYER
Take a shot every time he says half life source
"I can see nothing and everything at once."
Love the Freeman's mind quote at the beginning.
LASER...CAUTION. LASER.... CAUTION. LASER...
Sure am glad they waxed the floors for the resonance cascade!
13:18 back in the days of cs1.5 my dumb ass friend used a command that make the game looks like this whenever we play on lan and he says it makes him better at the game
Was he actually better at the game? Can't fault a prodigy when they find their environment to mesh in.
I too eat cheese less burgers, I also love at 10:54 when it cuts from the zombie and grenades to reloading a shotgun
Games are too focused on making everything hi-res with thousands of polygons and billions of pixels until it just looks like an over-designed mess.
I want that ULTRA LOW-DEFINITION, LOW-POLYGON, LOW COLOUR DEPTH, RTX OFF, UNDERHAULED, TWENTY FPS, QVGA, COMPRESSED AUDIO, DEMASTERED experience.
idk why but there is something about the way you said "porridge soup mess" that never fails to make me laugh
15:24 Richter be sounding like the generic death sound from Lego Star Wars
it certainly does
2 richter uploads IN A WEEK??? Nonono this can’t be right what alternative timeline are we in?
Honestly, the weird bright pixel style looks better than base HL:S. Unless you use that one HL:S fix mod.
If you pretend it's an indiedevs boomer shooter, it actually seems rather nice looking.
I really want to play half life source with low res and fullbright now. It looks like an indie game from 2013.
Ultrakill black mesa edition
Average Half-Life: Source players: Worst version of Half-Life
Average Half-Life PS2 experiencer: Enjoyable
Average Black Mesa players: *projectile vomiting*
Spends 10 minutes resetting a save to save a scientist only for him to die by Richter anyways.
1:31 "Ohhh god!" hahaha 🤣👌
sv_cheats 1
host framerate
mat_specular 0
mat_showlowresimage 1
Call me crazy but I see the fullbright low poly low image res kinda charming, just need to actually design with those limitations in mind
My first playthrough of half life was on source, and I can confirm that it gives me pain
Cool video, but why is it edited/rendered in 4:3 60fps if the gameplay was recorded/streamed in 16:9 30fps?
The fact that half life source maps look 10x better in gmod
I cant watch this guys restless jumping, running and impatience.
It's amazing to me that you can make a Glock look more appealing then a berretta.
Really liked this video, it’s inspired my videos, thanks richter.
the stream looked terrible but it was fun to watch richter play it like that
this was the only stream i actually watched, it was fucking amazing
Half Life on a gameboy advance really be looking good
I remember the "Half-Life on the N64" stream.
13:21 When Half-Life is ported to the Atari or Nintendo DS:
Finally, someone who agrees that cheeseburgers are awful

I gotta say, I love that all your videos are in a 4:3 aspect ratio. It gives you your own style. Pretty sure most people would be really aliened if you would use an 16:9 ratio
It's not in 4:3 aspect ratio. It's actually in 16:9, but then squished into 4:3. Like when you set your monitor to 4:3 but then set windows to 16:9.

"50 DOLLARS WHADDA HELL"
I went in the Livestream for a second, now my eyes are dead.
12:08 *spooky sound as mat_fullbright 1 is activated*
This looks like it's squished into 4:3, which is really quite strange.
what a wholesome community
when you put mastercomfig into half life
At some point you stopped playing half life and started playing an early quake build programmed while drunk that got left on a dusty floppy that probably only got thrown away today
HLS with hd models was my first introduction to half life
This aspect ratio gives me so much nostalgia, it's like old youtube all over again
Is this 1:1 or 4:3? I can't tell both apart
4:3
The true way to experience Half-Life using Source is with Black Mesa, let's be honest here
I agree. Black Mesa is such a well made remake

i just finished the entirety of a 10 minute video that i couldve skipped the entire time
i have a confession to make: i've made tf2 mods using hl:source models before.
that sounds pretty epic
I would legit do this on modern games to play on my fucking pentium 4 pc at 480p i dont see the problem with that
It slowly but consistently became Cruelty Squad.
The low res mode looks amazing.
17:38 a mukbang is just a video where someone eats while being recorded
I remember watching this and thinking man I wish I had money, I was going to find some weird something to add idk what it was now
I watched this video in 144p for the ultimate experience.
Ahem,

It had to be done
i have never played half-life 1, so when i do i am going to play half-life: source like this with the google translate mod
Slowly repeat after me: It's. Okay. To. Stand. Still.
Came for the title but stayed for the sodacan asmr
10:12 funnily enough hamburgers originally didn’t have cheese in them.
The worst part about this video was you jumping around like a rabbit on speed.
The low res and full bright combo gave me vibes of Leadhead's video thumbnails
i got some horror movie ad for this
When your phone just randomly locks some videos in 480p so this is almost complete ass for me lmao
I love how people were complaining about him using hd models instead of him playing the hell that hl:s is.
the reason why there is no half life 3
half + half = full
the half life 3 is overlife. it is a life you must experience by going outside
the biggest crime is that he's speeding through the game, missing all the secrets and suggesting others do the same 😭
