Yes there is a lot of things from the beta so I'm guessing it's either a different timeline or the analog horror series is pointing at there being some ties to the retail and the beta.
Yeah, given the Eli Maxwell line about the Particle Storms (for those not in the know, Eli Vance was basically 2 characters, Maxwell and Captain Vance and basically got molded together with Barney instead taking the role of Captain Vance regarding leading the resistance, except at the time, the resistance consisted of the conscripts, basically the CP units).
@@spaceacepl4636 No, they just made the heads. It can be seen in some of half lifes concept art that the children were forced to work in sweat shops all day and night making them.
I LOVE the idea of video game based horror that takes place in universe rather than in the “haunted game” sense. A similar idea I’ve seen for a half life horror series is, after/during the events of half life 1, someone with access to black mesa security cameras start snooping around them trying to figure out what’s happening and why, getting intercepted by the gman every now and then telling them “you’re not supposed to be here” and cutting their access to the cameras
It must've been the Particle Storm, in old HL2 voice lines for Eli, he explains that the reason on why he lost his leg was due to the green storm when he wanted to examine it(?).
If I remember right, The beta stalkers were used as termination creatures that were sent out to kill unsuspecting rebels in alleys. I feel a sense of dread when I see them used in this series with someone nearby, As the way they do it is horrifying in itself. I think you can find it on the wiki somewhere
I feel like this fits. Seeing as how the Combine absolutely fucked over the world, we're probably stuck with VHS shit in the HL universe. Because HL2 takes place in 200x, that means in the 2020's, the most widespread thing ever is VHS.
I was fixing to comment abt the dates, the resonance cascade doesn’t even happen until the 2000s but all of these are dated in the 90s. Just kinda confusing to me
Man I never thought half life 2 beta would get its own analog horror Edit: it actually makes sense because half life 2 beta is a waaay darker version of the half life 2 we got
This series is very much one that takes place during the early hl2 beta. The story was much more... Miserable. The combine would suck the air from the earth and drain it of natural resources. The 'consul' is the beta version of Wallace breen, also stalkers names actually made sense. They were like a disposable assassin that was driven mad under combine brainwashing and converted into a laughing, screaming, limbless. Laser assassin.
One thing I didn't hear you explain is City 14. City 14 does exist in HL2. One of the citizens says "Dr. Breen again? I was hoping I'd seen the last of him in City 14."However the most interesting thing is on the Train Schedule list there's no mention of City 14 despite 11-16 being present.Of course others are missing as well such as 1-7 and 10.Interesting take on the topic. Also most of the stuff here is clearly from the beta.Such as: the look of the city,the consul,the Green Light is most likely the cut Particle Storm enemy,the creature that attacked the camera man looks like the Combine Alien Assasin,beta Stalkers.
I genuinely hope someone will make some digital horror series for F.E.A.R. It is literally perfect. And with the subtle rise of FPS games using a body/helmet cam as the perspective, imagine a F.E.A.R. animated horror series like that. It's a mix of suspenseful horror, brutal gunfight, and other tactical stuff.
16:44 I don't know if it is a coincidence, but isn't that the place where Chell was left off in the Portal 2 ending? I might be wrong, but the fact that it looks similar tells me that Portal will also have a role on the series.
15:45 Fun fact: this is the music from the HL2 Beta "Radio" weapon, im not sure what it does but the gmod recreation of it kills nearby npcs that hear the music
The sound does not come from the radio, it was actually used for the binoculars that were cut from HL2, and it would play the song when zooming in with said weapon.
@@kikigarza9092 Pretty sure its there is no zombie assassin, you must be thinking about a zombine but there was nothing in the leak mentioning a zombie assassin
welcome, welcome to freaky 17. by the way the green light refers to a cut enemy called the particle storm, which is an invincible force that tears things apart and is extremely dangerous. And the video of eli talking is real cut voice dialogue about him believing its consciousness, and likely talking about his plan to turn it into a powerful superweapon.
ok... but the first game takes place in 2000. it wouldn't make sense for these tapesto be dated before then. also i dont think the hl2 beta was being considered during the writing of the first game.
the map used at 11:00 is "Blackbrook Asylum", pretty neat stuff! you can tell because of the way the stairs are shaped and the two doorways with side windows
Make sense in the context of the HL timeline, Combine take over happens around the turn of the millennium where analogue tech like VHS camcorders and CRT displays are still the norm.
I understand why they used the hl2 beta, but hear me out We need a hl2/hl1 analog horror, the black mesa incident has a lot of potential, same with ravenholm and the citadel
In terms of lore, I can see Analog Horror working for the early days of the Combine's rule. Because we would still have technology that was common prior to the Combine's rule. Early rebels trying to expose the Combine's horrific experiments on human bodies, or eveb what happens behind quarantine zones like in HL:A. It would make sense early on because humanity still has early hope and the illusion of freedom under the Combine's reign before Freeman's arrival. Honestly I also wanna see Analog Horror for Portal. The lore behind Portal makes sense for the timeline where Analog equipment was commonly used and how Aperture Science commited crimes against science and humanity and God, that's some Happy Meat Farms worth of horror that we sometimes don't realize behind the amazing plot, characters, and gameplay of Portal.
This series actually doesn't take place in the same half life universe that we play in half life 2. This ARG takes place in the much more terrifying Half Life 2 Beta. If you don't know what it is I REALLY suggest looking it up, as I kinda wish we got the Beta story instead of the one we have now. Some of the most major differences are Dr Breen being replaced with the Consul, the cut Beta enemies such as cremators and electric dust storms (The green light) and all the others seeming to exist, and of course it being city 14 with stuff like the Air Exchange and Wastelands instead of The Citidal and City 17 The conversation with eli at 13:00 is actually from the cut half life beta as an entire cutscene was set out for him to say the same exact thing he said in the video.
At the 1:30 mark, kozy used the same editing and animating idea from a different youtuber named Squimpus mcgrimpus, creator of a Fnaf analog horror based series. Based on squimpus's video titled "nonexistent video" and on that video, go to the 34 second mark, it will show golden freddy, and then the rest of the fnaf crew, the editing and animation is identical, its a nice reference tho.
Also I can see the similarities, Nice Man is clearly based off that one Balloon Boy tape by THEY WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED, even down to the colors of the jumpscare, and the little blip of music after it. I see you, Half Life 2 Analog Horror!
The enemy that attaced Jake in Assasin.mp4 is, well, an assasin. Another cut enemy that is some alien dude made into a perfect killing machine. Fast, silent, deadly.
am I the only one who noticed the head used is from springtrap? 7:40 bro must be a fnaf fan or a fan of the models and sounds in sfm because dawg used the fnaf ambience sounds too at 8:27
i saw this video on my recommended and accidentally refreshed my youtube and spent at least 30 minutes to find it... saying it was worth it is an understatement cause of how good this video is
On the 43 video during the Consul's speech, I'm pretty sure he says this: "The true citizen appreciates the comforts of City 17, but uses discretion." "The true citizen's job is the opposite of slavery."
at around 12:44 i have a good guess on what that thing was. its reminiscent of a vortigaunt, though i doubt its one that has free will. judging that it attacked jake, a refugee at that point in the story and is hence a KOS (kill on sight) asset by the combine. it has technical properties on it too ive noticed. same as which in the current half life 2 build vortigaunt slaves have a sort of harnass around their waist.
13:07 going frame by frame, It's very blurry, but I think that may be a vortigaunt? Also, This appears to be taking place within the HL2 Beta storyline, Meaning Eli Vance is Eli Maxwell, and the green light is what's known as "particle storms"
I'd love to see valve make a half life game in source 2 where you have to go back to black mesa and lambada to investigate and find the source of some new unknown electrical and magnetic field activity after the events of half life 2. You'd have to explore the fully abandoned facility like a liminal space almost but you'd be stalked by unknown horrors and abominations created and modified by the facility. The black mesa facility would be like an abandoned mall that's falling apart, leaking pipes, flooded lower levels similar to Chernobyl, most of the facility without power with no lights but maybe some backup generators. The walls would have mold and would be rotted out in the office area. That would be a truly cool half life horror game.
I would love a tacticool horror kinda like a tactihorror where it includes like gunfights but also spooky things from the pov of a helmet or bodycamera
I like to image the benefactor as E-Man. G-man’s less enthusiastic coworker who is just as powerful but knows that his contact expires soon and no way in hell is it getting renewed
The HL universe is perfect for analog horror. Seeing the horrid attrocities and actions that occur in the universe during the resonance cascade, and the 7 Hour War.
True Fun Fact: There is a Half Life 2 Mod. with the title Half Life 2 Beta Raising The Bar Redux. that brings back the Half Life Beta in its glory i suggest you Orbit to see this and talk about it in your videos, it takes the Same way as the Beta would show. the Whole start up is different to what we got for Half Life 2 but do be Sure SPOILERS ARE IN THIS GAME IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS MOD.
I think the reason the cut eli maxwell is there, and cause the world is so dark is because this probably takes place in the original version on hl2, which was much more darker than the hl2 we have today.
I think the creature in Assassin was the Alien assassin (who could've guessed) an enemy cut during the beta of Half Life 2 as it was extremely similar to the Combine assassin.
you know valve created one of the best universes ever when we are still talking and making content about it one game from 1999 other from 2004 and we all agree that there's no "unused" content - it's just somewhere else and all the maps and models from these videos oh my god it's amazing when you know exactly what is what
While I find it interesting somewhat, I do see alot of the generic analog horror cliches which kinda ruins it for me. It also feels like a Half-Life version of Squimpus' FNaF tapes if that makes sense. I feel like if it was redone with a more thought-out story and more original aspects, it could be great.
maybe if just wasn't analog horror. i really don't see that genre fitting for this game series. beta or not, im not convinced that analog horror is the route to go, would probably work better as a mod. just my 2 cents tho
The whole series takes place in the Half Life 2 beta part of Valve's development. This would've been the offical game, but someone leaked it and it was delayed by some 4 or so years

I'd love to see valve make a half life game in source 2 where you have to go back to black mesa and lambada to investigate and find the source of some new unknown electrical and magnetic field activity after the events of half life 2. You'd have to explore the fully abandoned facility like a liminal space almost but you'd be stalked by unknown horrors and abominations created and modified by the facility. The black mesa facility would be like an abandoned mall that's falling apart, leaking pipes, flooded lower levels similar to Chernobyl, most of the facility without power with no lights but maybe some backup generators. The walls would have mold and would be rotted out in the office area. That would be a truly cool half life horror game.
these remind me of the fnaf tapes made by battington especially the first episode
I like that this are based on the non-exiating video FNAF VHS tape, all the dialogues are so similar
Bro we need this as a half life 2 mod
I would love a tacticool horror kinda like a tactihorror where it includes like gunfights but also spooky things from the pov of a helmet or bodycamera
I thought the enemy looked like a Vortugon.
i remember one day i spent so much time playing and watching videos abt half life that the HUD was imprinted in my vision
I like to image the benefactor as E-Man. G-man’s less enthusiastic coworker who is just as powerful but knows that his contact expires soon and no way in hell is it getting renewed
The HL universe is perfect for analog horror. Seeing the horrid attrocities and actions that occur in the universe during the resonance cascade, and the 7 Hour War.
nah, because who tf is making the tapes? the combine? why would an advanced alien society who took over earth in seven hours need to distribute tapes?
alr im really late but that one scene where jake gets attacked, i have really high reason to thing its a alien assasin synth.
The mention about Interloper when "RavenHome"(what every its spelled) was mentioned
This feels like a crossover with these FNAF analogue/documentary horror videos, it's exactly the same style.
Bro this is legit just the fnaf tapes with half life 2 and i gotta say i love it you can even hear foxy banging on the door in one part
True Fun Fact: There is a Half Life 2 Mod. with the title Half Life 2 Beta Raising The Bar Redux. that brings back the Half Life Beta in its glory i suggest you Orbit to see this and talk about it in your videos, it takes the Same way as the Beta would show. the Whole start up is different to what we got for Half Life 2 but do be Sure SPOILERS ARE IN THIS GAME IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS MOD.
First time watching one of your videos, and the intro instantly has me hooked
I was begging for a anolog horror and now we got one
I could be wrong, but in "43," the Citadel looks similar to the one found in the HL2 Beta.
Also love your videos, looking forward to more!
more specifically, the 2002 beta
Looks great so far, Half Life 2 Beta Analog Horror is something i think alot of people would have expected due to how dark it was.
I think the reason the cut eli maxwell is there, and cause the world is so dark is because this probably takes place in the original version on hl2, which was much more darker than the hl2 we have today.
16:16 "that sound from skibidi toilet!"
How do you not have more subscribers bro?? Your videos are great!
daddy Gregori 😩😩🙏

Ohh it’s gettin freaky here

I think the creature in Assassin was the Alien assassin (who could've guessed) an enemy cut during the beta of Half Life 2 as it was extremely similar to the Combine assassin.
you know valve created one of the best universes ever when we are still talking and making content about it
one game from 1999 other from 2004 and we all agree that there's no "unused" content - it's just somewhere else
and all the maps and models from these videos oh my god it's amazing when you know exactly what is what
9:20 its like he say the true citzen of city 17 and some words just like the old one beta consul
While I find it interesting somewhat, I do see alot of the generic analog horror cliches which kinda ruins it for me. It also feels like a Half-Life version of Squimpus' FNaF tapes if that makes sense. I feel like if it was redone with a more thought-out story and more original aspects, it could be great.
maybe if just wasn't analog horror. i really don't see that genre fitting for this game series. beta or not, im not convinced that analog horror is the route to go, would probably work better as a mod. just my 2 cents tho
"you guys know ravenholm?"
yes, yes i do. and i do not want to be reminded of it.
The whole series takes place in the Half Life 2 beta part of Valve's development. This would've been the offical game, but someone leaked it and it was delayed by some 4 or so years
8:05 hi I'm Saul Goodman
did you know you have rights.
Unironically scary, and very well made too!
