"Doctor Freemannnn... I realize this moment may not be the most convenient, for a bowling. But I had to wait until your friends were otherwise occupied. "
I’ve been playing classic GTA 3 on my computer; the transition between the parts of the city goes by so fast, the loading screen indicating that you’ve changed environments is there for barely half a second…if you blink during, you’ll likely to miss it entirely now. VERY far cry from early ‘00s, that’s for sure
having recently played gta 4 many many many times, the best detail in this whole video is probably the logos zooming in at the start, a truly near-identical zooming-in recreation
G-man hlf3 intro : "Life... is complicated, I've killed Alien people, smuggled scientists and personnel, sold worlds, perhaps this time... things will be different."
It's being played from a HDD. I can confirm from experience since my current PC only has a (mostly full) internal 1Tb hard drive and when I played through the game, the loading times between levels were stupidly long (at least 1 minute).
Looking at this, I once again got struck with a surreal realisation that (most of) these models and environments are something Valve officially created for an official Half-Life game after more than ten years since the last one. And it's even more surreal to see familiar designs in a new form.
I'm glad this start up sequence has become somewhat of a popular meme as of late. GTA IV is a great game and I hope it makes people play it again. Plus the intro is just awesome. nice vid
“When I was in black Mesa, we were going to ambush the aliens in xen. But then a traitor ratted us out. I know one of them lives here, in City 17” If you have played gta4 you will get it
That should be a plot for a half life spin off game perhaps it can be open world to where each choice you make not only affects the world and people around you changing difficulty and gameplay but also deciding you’re fate
@@dotnask0001 no I know it just gave me an inspiration for a open word half-life perhaps is could base it self on the criminal underworld and the rebellion you do runs for top people in the resistance like run guns and get either credits or gear or supplies or resources
GTA IV has to be one of the best games of all time. It’s single-player campaign is nearly unmatched in the GTA franchise, and it has some of the best characters and story. I especially love how advanced the physics are in it, with realistic driving physics and NPC reactions. It even received expansions with two more single-player campaigns that had their own unique characters and story, complete with lots of moments where all of these three stories crossed through each other at some points. This is some really good stuff right here, makes me want to replay GTA IV again... and I might just do it then.
About a half a year ago, I've finally completed GTA 4 in my life after years of not being able to. Still had this hyped feelings in me about loading screen of the game. So, seeing this warmed them inside of me again. It looks amazing!!!
yes, this is the best version i have ever seen of someone recreating the gta iv loading startup like the attention to detail and everything holy this is just perfect, not only that the hl alyx poses and everything fits perfectly love it

Yeah, but personally i never got invested in the story it had to offer

These charming little loading screens are going to be a thing of the past as SSDs and NVMEs become the new standard.

I mean, games are just getting bigger anyways so it might still be a thing.
@@ForwardBias definitely, considering most AAA games strive for realistic graphics and HD textures take up a lot of space
@@jordanium5593 most aaa games strive for more graphics and custom skins than optimising the game to make things faster.

Gta intros in different fandoms give me life at this point. Great job corey
This isn’t even meme anymore, this is just art.
having recently played gta 4 many many many times, the best detail in this whole video is probably the logos zooming in at the start, a truly near-identical zooming-in recreation
I agree, that was perfect and it took me right back.
My favorite detail was the selection sound effects towards the end, really feels like the pop ups when you start the game
If the half life alyx story was depressing
Kinda is.
is
Half life series has always been depressing
Half-Life Alyx if it were the beyta
and now I want a GTA style game set in the Half-Life Universe, maybe we can play like Adrian again that way

So basically killing metro cops simulator
@@DivineOrange
And Stealing Combine equipment simulator
Gta IV: The Ballad of Gordon Freeman
I remember that one of my computers would take so much to load the game that the music would just stop playing but the images would continued to loop
Expected a shitpost. But saw something so magnificent, even Gordon’s theoretical physics having mind would not comprehend it’s beauty.
G-man hlf3 intro : "Life... is complicated, I've killed Alien people, smuggled scientists and personnel, sold worlds, perhaps this time... things will be different."
I actually got chills
Imagine a half life themed GTA. That would be incredible. Also, why is the game loading so slow?
Bad optimization i think
node graph out of date...
@@rubyjakewillton nice
It's being played from a HDD.
I can confirm from experience since my current PC only has a (mostly full) internal 1Tb hard drive and when I played through the game, the loading times between levels were stupidly long (at least 1 minute).
It's not slow, it's showing art
Imagine how cool would it be to have a open world Half life game. The possibilities are endless. Btw great video!
I was recently thinking of the concept of a HL RPG and it seems pretty lit imo. Even just an open-world game that's not an RPG would be awesome.
it would suck imo
If i'm not wrong the chaltalkers (the ones that did the count to three song) are working in a proyect called "Citadel"
@@SuperGman117 man imagine hl being like dying light

The idea of Gordon going on a gta style rampage in city 17 amuses me.
I mean... Isn't just that what happens on the early chapters of HL2?
Looking at this, I once again got struck with a surreal realisation that (most of) these models and environments are something Valve officially created for an official Half-Life game after more than ten years since the last one.

1:20 Wait a second, what’s he holding on his hand? A book? So that’s must be the book of Eli right?
All I feel after making this joke is regret…
"It's me, Gordon! Barney, from Black Mesa. Sorry for the scare, how about we go bowling?"
"Hey gordon, let's go drink some beer"
Hey Gordon, let's go issue Wing Attack Plan R.
"Sorry, Barney, I can't do this right now"
"Alright, pal."
Barney 👎
This startup sequence makes any character badass
Everything this man puts out is golden.
"So this is what the beer tastes like, this is the victory I longed for."
-Barney Calhoun, 202X
Loads as long as GTA IV did back then as well. I feel very immersed.
The intro with the Vavle theme mix was God tier
(Alex's body ragdolling 5 miles after a car crash)
“When I was in black Mesa, we were going to ambush the aliens in xen. But then a traitor ratted us out. I know one of them lives here, in City 17”

some of these would be brilliant desktop wallpapers

This would be great as a main menu instead of the boring combine wall

Well...that just fits Perfectly

That's so clean. That's gotta be the coolest thing I've seen on UA-cam in an age.
It seemed strange to see Gordon holding the shotgun, even though he carries it through half of Half-Life 2.
Thanks now I have to go and play GTA VI: Alyx...
hey cousin gordan lets go bowling
That Gordon one is really good
Love this, GTA IV will never die
Gordon: Alex let's go bowling
Corey, thank you for this.
Gordon, it’s combine! Lets pick up that can!
Amazing thank you for this
My love for GTA 4 and this channel cannot come together more perfectly oh man
I like how he just lowered the texture quality on the character models to make them look like drawings
Ah, perfection
lmao spoiling the endgame Gman reveal in the opening loading screen
Now this is dope.
If you find me later I'll take you bowling
you know youre early when "Quality: Unavailable"
Woah, this is way too good.
The reason we see the loading screen for this long is because we don't have a computer that can download the internet
You forget a thousand things every day make sure Half-Life 3 isn't one of them
