This was really nice - looking forward to seeing what you have planned!
The Volgun!? Nice seeing you here.
Hey its you again
Nice too see u here, love ur scp readings
049 Has breached containment!!!
Great crossover
It may or may not be a coincidence, but I love how at 0:50 the lyrics say "Leave the sun behind me" and all we see is just a Combine soldier walking. It matches up so well, could be interpreted as the Combine soldiers leaving their humanity behind after being transformed into the biomechanic killing machines.
Maybe they are the first patch to get the next generation augmentations and armor join the overwatch ranks seen in Half-Life 2? Maybe they are so well distinguished troopers that they will become part of the elite corps? One for sure after that there is no coming back..
Man, I don't know what it is, but that shot has a strangely powerful effect on me. The music, framing and the trains going in opposite directions make the scene work so damn well. I keep coming back to this video for that specific sequence. Went to check the comments to see if I was alone.
0:18 I really like this shot here, just simply a CP unit looking at a photo of what I assume is family or friends, a reminder that Civil Protection units are still humans with unaltered minds of the Combine. These people that joined the ranks for promises of better food and protection of loved ones. Sometimes people must do bad things to make sure others are safer.
Still a bad reason, become a Nazi to protect your family
That is why i love them
Or because they have nothing to lose. This particular officer seems to be reminiscing about their past from before the invasion. Their body language seems somewhat sullen.
fighting to survive
I may be mistaken, but it seems like they're wearing the same i4 band from Anticitizens
I love at 0:22 the Ordinal and APF are walking away like they’re going into the sunset and not like they just lost half of their squad and brutally cut a small resistance force apart
Really goes to show how augmented they are. Grunts in that situation would have felt atleast a little remorse, or sadness, but these two, nope.
Tbf they are alive to see another day
Had they fail to shoot all rebels it would be their last
They're just walking away like it's the ending of a buddy cop movie.
"Wanna go grab a beer?"
"Hell yeah"
I love the shot at 1:04 where the grunt on the close left just looks at the light from outside as the door closes. Maybe I'm overanalysing but I like to think he's trying to stay in touch with what little humanity he has, but the door closes and the light fades, and so does his gaze towards it.
Yeah, that scene felt oddly emotional to me considering the grunts are still the most human out of all the soldiers, it's likely they still feel some regret and guilt considering the death lines like "I'm sorry"
@@DethDobby honestly they most horrifying part of their voice lines is when the oxygen tank is about to explode and then you hear the screams of pure terror
I'd say the grunts are like post-order 66 clones in Star Wars, they have chips on their heads to make them follow orders, but that's it. They still feel emotion, fear, anger, sadness, happiness etc.
"Maybe I'm overanalysing"
I don't think so. TheParryGod puts a lot of intentional details into his videos, so I wouldn't put it past him and besides, Death of the Author yo, the meaning of a piece of art is created by/within the audience, not the creator. So it's an entirely valid reading.
Parrygods animations feel like something out of love+death+robots.
yes!!
im so happy someone else said that
Like why no one is commenting about throwbacks to previous story videos from the author in this clip? Feels like nostalgia watching the aftermaths of tense events from the past
0:23 The ending of the PROTECTORS short
0:29 The camcorder is from A Tape From City 17 short, same scene was there
0:33 Interrogation of the rebel survivor from the ANTI-CITIZENS short
0:38 INFESTATION aftermath
0:41 ANTI-CITIZENS aftermath
There may be more but the remaining scenes are more generic and I may miss something there
damn that's a lot of attention to detail
The dropship heading towards the Citadel may be the one from one of the shorts, such as PROTECTORS. Many scenes are simply very well made and framed and only loosely tie into the Combine as a whole. The couple from A Tape From City 17 is shown prominently.
Loved that!
I do not have the strength to write thank you for doing the job
Also a shot of a combine walking between two trains might tell us that he survived the ending of anti-citizens and a shot of stalker might tell us that the rebel survivor got turned into him
I find it cool how your half life animations are slightly connected and have a proper timeline, I've always found the half life universe to be so interesting, and one of my favourite stories ever, this channel is truly what I've always wanted, thank you
The half life universe is definitely underrated
@@AdamMi1 And underutilized by the parent company...
@@AdamMi1 Bro wtf do you mean, Half-Life is one of the most influential games ever and lemme tell you, it is NOT because of the shooting mechanics
Did you know that Half Life is in the same universe as Portal?
@@austininman8946 Everyone does!
0:55 This shot of the stalker is just so sad the fact that living human beings are turned into this is just horrifying if they had a mind of their own they would've fought back
The line "and I'll watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by" fits very well in a depressing way. Stalkers are lobotomised, but there's likely some remnant of memory left in them. They see the world going past them as they continue their menial tasks, and deep within their altered mind is a twinge of bitter loneliness
"Music is a language that doesn't speak in particular words, it speaks in emotion" - Master Oogway
f*cking beautiful
"Music is fucking based".
- That one turtle from finding nemo
That was Keith Richards.
Small thing but man.. that punch at 0:34 was animated so well
If im correct, then it was the surviving resistance member from “Anti-Citizens” being interrogated. Even at 0:40 it shows the possibly surviving charger being carried away
@@PoxelationHe's out of prison now and he is one of the few survivors of Spikewall in Patient Zero.
The people talking together in 0:44 is probably before they raid the CP Station in "Anti-Citizens"
This is above and beyond the best worldbuilding and throwback episode I've ever had the luxury of seeing. Building on characters and settings we've only ever seen for a single episode at best, and then using that as a medium to develop the world they live in. Even humanising the Combine to an extent in some places.
It even looks like we're swapping era, with more HL2-esque visuals in some places, a completed Citadel and what seems to be a regular HL2 Combine Soldier with a more bulky set of armour.
Never change your style, this is fucking fantastic and it leaves me wanting more.
I love that PG's videos give us the feeling of everyday life for dwellers of Combine occupied Earth, both Overwatch, Rebels and regular citizens. And I think the feeling of exploration of the world was the best part of HL Alyx.
@@FlymanMS I would really love to see some sort of interactive medium. One that lets us explore his interpretation of the universe, but I’m not sure if it would do it justice.
@@T-74 I believe he plays on Gmod HL2RP Willard Networks. Not sure though soooo, yea. I play on it, and his videos look similar to the feeling I get from playing there
@@Staniol I’ve seen Willard. Can definitively say its a product all onto itself, this has an entirely different narrative tone and actually inspires me, unlike Willard, which feels limiting on my creativity.
Some interesting details I noticed while watching this video:
0:14 - Most likely the appearance of the "Initial Spire", which is basically the foundation of the citadel, built out of an unknown material, it has been delivered through some form of portal which Alyx (or whoever drew the diagrams on the marker white board in H-L:A) referred to as a "Perpetual Storm" (some kind of portal storm or a combine portal, not fully certain), the rest of the citadel was built from materials collected on earth, athough some different things which could not be made on earth were possibly still delivered through that. Worth noting that the huge hole which the citadel sits in was created shortly before or when the spire was delivered, basically the area of City 17 was completely removed without any debris, either was just teleported out or completely evaporated, in any case both methods probably involve getting as many materials as possible out of it- I don't think it's known if citizens were escorted from that location or not, I am quite sure that they would at least warn them about it, and if not, surely some Civil Protection or other combine units were at that spot and evacuated out of that area, would be possibly noticed or found out one way or another, there is a lot of things to speculate on this topic, and is surely a pretty fun topic for internet discussion.
0:22 - The Combine Ordinal and Supressor from the PROTECTORS animation leaving to be picked up by the dropship after killing the last Anti-Citizen.
0:26 - Scene from "A tape from City 17", we can see the camcorder laying on the roof, although it happens at a slightly different time, as the characters are sitting in a different spot instead of standing up (the scene in that animation can be seen at 1:12 ), this does mean the person on the left is the one who recorded everything.
0:33 - The only surviving Anti-Citizen from the ANTI-CITIZENS animation being tortured somewhere- most likely Nova Prospekt or some nearby Combine outpost.
0:37 - Zombified Combine Charger from the INFESTATION short.
0:41 - Conclusion of the ANTI-CITIZENS short, the Wallhammer is being moved out after having their whole body paralyzed- makes me hope they do make it out, it is rather safe to assume that they are alive since they are the first to be moved out of there- except for the Anti-Citizen obviously.
1:04 - Some random shot of Combine Grunts taking off in a container of a dropship, definitely not related to the PROTECTORS animation, as in that short, there were only two grunts, and one of them was killed.
1:11 - Absolutely beautiful shot of the Citadel with some really nice, high quality details, truly wallpaper material right there.
The juxtaposition of the cheery music with the grim reality of the HL2 universe is so amazing that it actually shows everything under a new perspective.
Bravo!
This animation shows the world without Gordon Freeman
Damn, I need 0:52 as a still image, badass shot!
Ikr combined with the music it looks cool as fu-
Wow it's been a year😅
i really love the part where the two neighbors are just casually talking to each other in an apartment then it cuts to a grim combine soldier marching in the middle, kinda implies how the combine became an imposing barrier that makes the humans divided. reminds me of that introduction in half life 2 where people near the train station refuse to talk to you because of the combine's presence
Man's straight making his own Marvel-style connected universe
i love the attention to detail and refferences from other cinematics! Like the guy with the CP tatoo getting punched by a cp ,is acually the only surviving rebel from "ANTI-CITIZEN" , the WALLHAMMER getting face hugged by a headcrab is most likely the one from "Infestation" ,and showing the aftermath from "Protectors" .I love it!
Sorry mate I just wanted to correct you :)Wallhammer
@@BlackMesaResearchFacility yeah , thanks for that i had a stroke seeing that ive typed it "warhammer" myself just now lmao
0:50 I love these two shots, the first and ota solders, who would have given up his humanity for the combine and the line "leave the sun behind me" while in a dark room looks like he was forced to work indoors and never gets to see the sun, smae with the stalker in the next shot, stalker never really left the indoors, so the lines about the cloud is the same,
It's really beautiful
Another one is 1:02 when it say "i can see the world" as the combine on our left look at the dropship door slowly closing whatever light was left in his view
wow, 0:45 I know the author of this illustration. In general, you are good at taking ready-made ideas and using them in a video. I love your content.
Yeah I adore that image. Wanted to recreate it in some way for a while now. Hope I've managed to do it justice.
@@TheParryGod Oh you have
Link?
@@alexis_electronic steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2618354300
@@TheParryGod You did a great job recreating my picture. That looks really cool!
You are perhaps the most talented SFM artist I’ve seen. Can’t express how much you actually got the feel and weight and grittiness down of the combine in all your other videos. Pure terror, artificial, clinical and unfeeling. A machine eating away at our collective human spirit. Valve should hire you. Or petition you to make a full fledged animated film. Hats off
Love how this ties together all your different animations! The suppressor and ordinal from protectors. The survivor from anti-citizen getting interrogated. The zombified brute from infestation. Sad to see no Blue Eyes reference tho, seeing the guy crawl out from under the tank and run off would've been cool, keep it up!
I somewhat guess why there’s no reference to Blue Eyes might be because it takes place during Episode 2, though that might just be guessing off the themes. But yea I agree regardless.
I scrolled down and saw that I had disliked this comment, I don't know why but I took it off.
@@BlackMesaResearchFacility maybe you misclicked
Fantastic work as always ! I so very much want to see your take on the gman, incredible world building skills you have my man
Thank you :) Truth be told I'm a little afraid to touch subjects of main characters or major events. If I ever get around to it I'll have to be really careful, haha.
@@TheParryGod I absolutely get you, however I'm sure our mutual friend has his strings all over the place, especially in the resistance !
@@TheParryGod I know this comment is from 7 months ago but you could always sneak him into all of the videos you make, just in the background observing. Like how he followed Gordon in HL1
Stunning video. I especially love the shot of the wallhammer walking in between the razor trains.
I think its a Wallhammer but at the same time it looks like a HL2 Overwatch Unit because he does not have the shoulder plates on the front
@@BlackMesaResearchFacilityIt may be a custom model
@@FireTheNuclearMissiles more of a variant like Spikewall in Patient Zero.
@@6l1t3h_Official Agreed
I realize the Half-Life franchise is no stranger to fanmade cinematic masterpieces, but this upgrade to source 2 has done so much in making animations truly feel like a movie, and TheParryGod has done an amazing job bringing this amazing universe to life.
AMAZING! All these little peeks into the lives of the characters from your other videos...
This is like a Netflix series.
@@PTSDDDEVIL Better.
This feels like an ending to a really amazing Half-Life episode, probably either the first episode or the season finale. Idk it gives me that sort of vibe.
Amazing video btw.
The shot of the Charger walking in the middle of those two passing trains is pure kino
you even connected the "Anti-Citizens" video showing the aftermath. AMAZING WORK
Charger really survived. Chad.
@@PTSDDDEVIL and Recycled back on track!
Not just one, but two scenes related to Anti-Citizens. The scene of one of the rebels being interrogated by a CP has the rebel who survived the Charger attack in Anti-Citizens.
Honestly it feels like you're a pioneer on the UA-cam scene of S2FM animation. I really have no idea why I haven't subscribed to you earlier, your work is really bringing Half-Life... to life! Even more so than other projects I've seen at least. Keep up the good work, I love it!
You must, honestly, be one of the greatest creators on this platform. And I don't mean just Half-Life content, but content overall. Every single piece you put out leaves me in awe. Cinema quality work!
man, you don't even know how much excited i am for your projects
I think these two overwatch soldiers who survived protectors short are the same one from the infestation video where one gets shot by shotgun and second gets turned into a zombie.
The units in the 2 videos are completely different.
Dude this guy is awesome, there been like 3 days i keep watching this, over and over again. I even added the song on Spotify. I even showed this stuff to my parents and my grandma.
I love that "leave the sun behind me" bit. It's really striking for some reason.
Your S2FMs bring so much depth into the world of Half-Life it's fucking insane. I grew up playing the games so the franchise and universe is very close to my heart, and seeing stuff like this being made in the community fills me with so much joy. Thank you for doing what you do, and I can't (but will) wait to see what else you have in store for us.
I like the scenes that reference anti citizen. With the metro cops torturing the last resistance guy, and the 'wall hammers" squad carrying him.
The slow mo walking animation is super satisfying. 0:50
Love seeing the aftermath of your previous works in this video
This video has something special that touches me a lot, the music of The kinks is very tasteful, the 4:3 ratio gives a rather nostalgic feeling and each shot transmits a lot of emotion, congratulations ! (sorry for my english if i made some misspelling 😆)
If you're not already familiar with the work of Wes Anderson I can only recommend. A lot here was inspired by his movies and style.
@@TheParryGod I haven't seen a single movie of him, but thanks for the advice, i'll take a look :)
The amount of attention to detail you put into your SFMs is too good. Incomparable to others out there. It's just way different. Keep up the good work, Parry!
I'm ready for a full length movie directed by TheParryGod.
1:04
SO badass!
0:14 I just realised that the citidel is going to explode in that one and that guy is probably dead.
Gordon Finally did it
One word: "gorgeous" by far the best animations I've ever seen, I'm looking forward for more, no doubt , thanks for the hard work
this might be a great episode in love, death and robots
valve definitely should bring half life movie back to production 🥲
And let this guy direct it
О гейб фоловер
Amazing! It's like all videos connect in narrative universe, like stories in the main game.
honestly i like the combine they are doing what they are doing
and also rule the multiverse
Looking forward to seeing what's on the plate :). Looks exciting!
"God, I hope you don't remember who you were."
Half life is my favorite fictional universe, and i feel its the perfect world building...
your animations make it even richer
I like how most of the scenes in the video lead to one of his past videos.
Your content has kept improving more than any other SFM creator I've seen and I congratulate you for that, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!
Watching all the callbacks to previous shorts makes it feel like I’m watching the last minute of a season finale to some anthology show, and I’m just waiting for the next season of more amazing stories.
And I think that feeling is a testament of just how well made your animations are, how they’re able to get me invested and hooked with just minutes of content. And the amount of detail and polish packed into those minutes is mind-boggling impressive.
You’re genuinely one of, if not the best doing it right now. Never stop.
Omg seeing more extra content from your previous work was so invigorating, like seeing what happened to the charger who got the head crab on him, the charger who got blown up and severely wounded and the guy who survived that charger getting interrogated etc. Your work on half life in s2fm has been a great experience, keep up your great work man
Loooove the nods to your other stories! Really fantastic work as usual!
Adore that scene of the ordinal walking towards the camera whilst two trains are moving by on both sides
This was nice looking back on all the work you've done while seeing some glimpses at the future. You post amazing content Parry. Glad to support you.
its absurd how good you are at videos like this.
Another banger as usual. Keep up the amazing work!
I've always loved the music edits of videos/movies. Cinematic shots with the right tune can be so satisfying, you should definitely do more of these in the future!
Man, your animations are truly insane!!
I love the little details that tie into your previous videos. Keep up the good work!
Amazing work! Can't wait for more content, I really appreciate you making this for us.

Great work!
You are truly insane with this stuff! Bloody chills everytime
Okay, this is beautiful. Honestly reminds me of how the Halo 2A cutscenes were framed, but if it was Half-Life instead. Truly a spectacle as always, Parry.
It's very cool to see short continuations to previous animations. Keep up the good work!
Astonishing work, as always
Amazing atmospheric. Good work!
Another great video! Loved all the callbacks as Keksimus pointed out.
You’ve never cease to amaze me man amazing job
It's so cool to see lore in your videos!
I've always dreamed about being able to create sfm videos like this and overlay it with some music or like the other badass cinematics you've made. Great work
Really well done once again. Can't wait for more!
It’s always exciting to get notified a new ParryGod vid dropped. You have been a huge inspiration to me and have shown just how powerful Source 2 Filmmaker can be in the hands of a very talented artist. I’ve enjoyed the journey thus far and look forward to what is to come! Great work as always dude!
Keep up the good work brother! Absolutely jaw dropping skills and story telling, you'll definitely be getting far with this effort!
Love your work as always
As always, superior work!
Love these animations! keep up the good work!
Great job, thanks for your hard work!
Don't stop! This is awesome!
most lore accurate Combine I've ever seen, you put in a lot of research for them! Can't wait to see more.
0:45 is so sweet. the guy has so much charisma just in this small movement. you can tell by the way the woman is listening that he's either damned interesting or funny as hell. each movement is so small but is so well done.
I get chills at the dropship scene
yo no cap this vid vibe be bussin
Its really amazing! Good work!
I always get excited for every video. each just a snapshot of people in a grand story that's unseen still grand in each depiction.
This was Awesome, and it is a really nice depiction of how bleak the combine’s reign is. Great job man!
Fuck man, I subbed for the quality animations, I wasn't expecting to get sucker punched so hard right in the feels
0:38 I feel sorry for that charger.
I feel sorry for them all. So many demorilized, opressed, tortured and corrupted. Enslaved irrevocably. All to feed an implacable alien empire that holds no value on Humanity.
amazing work as always
This is dope Parry
Feels so good! I really enjoy your half life animations, continue with more activity!!!!!!!!!! 💖
Looks beautiful! So clean and realistic looking, I don’t know anyone that can make SFMs like this.
Love the dystopia vibe and the image with cheerful music, really gives you some special feeling to it.
Amazing as always
Such talent should be illegal.
Awesome work as usual. The way you included characters from past videos is really well-done.
Amazing imagery and great epilogue for your charchters!
