I have this wired habitual thing where I watch Half Life Siggraph demo before sleep because it calms me down for some reason 😂. The recent release of this demo was a blessing. Nice remake !
@GarbageLord6543 Everytime i comeback to home after a hard work i starting watching HL2 Beta content and drink some vodka, especially these earyly maps that have "Dark and gritty" feeling and US skyscraper. plus with the ambient sounds, it's good to watch before the sleeping
for me it comes from the purveying since of closure i got from its release. years of build up only to be surprised with more information then i ever thought would be unveiled.
one neat thing i noticed in the original siggraph demo is that in the free tvs part nobody ever actually threw anything and the molotov effects happened after their animation was done this definitely looks way better though. I congratulate ye!
honestly it's just so amazing how accurately you guys reconstructed every single era of hl2 development, i don't think even valve employees would notice it's a recreation most of the time
Holy shiiittttt incredible work guys. This might be as close to having the ORIGINAL demo Valve themselves made! Man... What a time to be a Half Life fan. 20th Anniversary of HL2 with all the goodness Valve shared, Operation Black Mesa finally showing off a gameplay video, that Blue Shift remake got another update recently, and now this. To quote AVGN "Life can be pretty cool sometimes".
10:30, it's funny how the real metrocop, even back then, had almost the exact same head model as retail. They had that design nailed down from the beginning.
So I guess all of the animations for the Gasmask citizen used in the Free TV's demo were present in some way in the leak, I didn't realize those were there so I didn't think it'd be possible to recreate the demo this accurately. Really cool! Man it'd still be neat if the Siggraph build were out in the wild though.
I remember hl2 physics demo before hl2 was released from gamestar magazine dvd, it looks so awesome I couldn't wait to play the game myself, long time ago approximately 2003
Extremely impressive. Couple of questions: I wonder, how did you "unstucK" metrocop in a fighting scene, since when they are using melee weapon they usually stuck in a running animation on one place? Did you fixed it or somehow "cheated" around the bug? The same goes for a tank - did you fixed its firing script or its some kind of custom script? Очень сильно впечатляет. Пара вопросов: Как вы смогли заставить метрокопа двигаться? Когда у метрокопа дубинка он обычно застревает в анимации бега на одном месте, а здесь он всё-таки двигается после этого. Вы починили его код или "обошли" баг каким-то образом? И тоже касается танка: вы починили его код стрельбы или это новый код или скрипт?
are the animations are recreations too? because they are damn near identical aspecially the hand fighting in free TVs although i saw some tiny inperfections they are still basically 1 to 1
You could rip the citizen dialogue audio from the demo footage and implement that for the free tvs quote. That's as close as we can get to the original if you did that
@@gyarik The reason was because they were running out of time. Aesthetically and story-wise the original concept was far larger and far more interesting.
Neither the beta nor the final have a great story, only memorable characters. Great story only came in Episodes, as Half-life 1 is just Doom, and 2 is just 1984 or Fahrenheit. City 17 was better in the beta, especially street wars, but Ravenholm and Highway 17 are way better than the Wasteland as they could have realized it in 2001-4. Half-life 2 is bogged down by all chapters needing a gimmick, which is why all chapters without a gimmick were cut, as Airex, Borealis, or Vertigo were lower priority than an airboat or a car. In Half-Life 1 all chapters had a gimmick, but they were unintrusive in chapters like Power up or Lambda complex, where most gameplay has nothing to do with the gimmick of Gargantua or portals, with only On a Rail, Apprehension, Residue processing, and the Xen chapters having intrusive gimmicks. Half-life 2 only has Route Canal, Ravenholm, (the best chapters) Nova Prospect, Follow Freeman, and Anticitizen one (the worst chapters of the game) without intrusive gimmicks. This makes the game more stimulating, and you're less likely to get tired of it than 1, but it also feels like a theme park in that way. Beta cut chapters also had unintrusive gimmicks, like a fire hydrant in Borealis, or platforming in Vertigo, so they were seen as uninteresting by the developers.
A lot was scrapped and changed too because of the leak, they felt the need to change things as much as possible and innovate to make it different enough from what was leaked, but the beta definitely fits better with HL1 and the vibe it had going on, the difference in tone from HL1 to HL2 retail is just jarring.

It is released as part of Mega Build 2024 patch. Link is in description.
Just curious, could you say which parts of the demo (models, maps) are authentic and what had to be recreated?
Answer you obatain part material of valve video demo of hl2 ?
The true citizen gets Free TV.
Barney will ask Gordon to say "F*ck You" to you if you dont
holy moly
are you cut and replaced by Dr. Breen?
@@redengine4433we call him the consul now
@@redengine4433 Yes, unfortunately they cut me. They are false citizens.
Yes Sir!
That was made shockingly fast. Amazing work.
Tyler, are you waiting for the release of the HLX?
I was hoping and figured that you would have seen this video, because now of course we have scripting to go along with the maps.
@@kirtheweasel
Like everyone for years...
@@kirtheweasel No, I was waiting for the release of HL3 for 17 years.

Calm down, Shaggy. There's a free TV for everyone.
that metrocop putting down 2 civs is a true protagonist
The bad cop of beta universe

Omg same here😂
@ Right ? It’s so soothing for some reason.

@ Yeah exactly ! the dark and gritty feeling with this ambiance like a train in the background etc.
for me it comes from the purveying since of closure i got from its release. years of build up only to be surprised with more information then i ever thought would be unveiled.
one neat thing i noticed in the original siggraph demo is that in the free tvs part nobody ever actually threw anything and the molotov effects happened after their animation was done

holy crap after like an hour of analyzing turns out they actually throw them its just really hard to see
@grungledev
Well... 2000 graphics and videocamara moment, this is why. Analog technology baby. :)
honestly it's just so amazing how accurately you guys reconstructed every single era of hl2 development, i don't think even valve employees would notice it's a recreation most of the time
The Beta Community is such a wonderful place! Great recreation!
The true citizen appreciates the new year
the animations and weapon bobbing are quite impressive.

That went very well with the recreation.
This alternate gloom-vise version of Half-life 2 is pretty damn good
Впечатляет, работа вами выполнена хорошо, прекрасный подарок на новый год. Большое спасибо за ваш труд.
No way. Whoever or whatever group of people made this, they’re the goat!
10:30, it's funny how the real metrocop, even back then, had almost the exact same head model as retail. They had that design nailed down from the beginning.
You guys out did yourselves this looks amazing i will install the 2024 megabuild soon
OH, UA-camR RADIATIONHAZARD IS GOING TO LOVE THIS! HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE AND NEW YEAR TO ALL!
Starting off the new year right! Never too late for some beta content
*Casually stands in fire* 0:54
Skeleton guitar meme music activated.
We are eating good on a new year.
Now we can recreate HL2 siggraph demo using Peter Grifffin freetv mod
XD
You guys are amazing
GREAT AND AMAZING JOB! NOW WE NEED STORYLINE IMPROVEMENTS
GREAT REALLY WAITING FOR IT
Nice job!

12:49 That L.A. Noire npc facial expression when they tried to lie:
Happy new year!
I like how you remade the maps into higher quality and then recreate the players walkthrough it’s like rtx off and then rtx on
12:36 When you don't wanna give Gordon the beer you owe him, but that creep keeps insisting by staring at you without making a sound as usual
This really WELL MADE!!!
The prefect birthday present
Happy birthday
Happy birthday!
11:03 , you forgot to include the little minigun under the crab synth
i don't know why the goldsourciness adds this charming yankiness to the game.
we finnaly got animated tank texture
I remember hl2 physics demo before hl2 was released from gamestar magazine dvd, it looks so awesome I couldn't wait to play the game myself, long time ago approximately 2003
it is glorious
Очень неплохо. Надеюсь, увидим ещё часть этого материала в Dark Interval.
Не-а
@@AShift-io1ng жаль🤷🏻♂️ Но, во всяком случае, исходник Сити-17 в моде очевиден.
I hope this level will be in Dark Interval
wow, yep, that sure looks like 2000 alright O_O
Sad to see the 2000s borealis textures are lost to time
finally i can watch breencast with my own tv
Love how one metrocop starts punching one gas mask citizen then does a sneak attack using his baton
WHERE IS GREEN FILTER
And where is the green cocaine
Extremely impressive.
Couple of questions:
I wonder, how did you "unstucK" metrocop in a fighting scene, since when they are using melee weapon they usually stuck in a running animation on one place? Did you fixed it or somehow "cheated" around the bug?
The same goes for a tank - did you fixed its firing script or its some kind of custom script?
Очень сильно впечатляет.
Пара вопросов:
Как вы смогли заставить метрокопа двигаться? Когда у метрокопа дубинка он обычно застревает в анимации бега на одном месте, а здесь он всё-таки двигается после этого. Вы починили его код или "обошли" баг каким-то образом?
И тоже касается танка: вы починили его код стрельбы или это новый код или скрипт?
Amazing
This is so weird to see in such good quality!
Darmowe telewizory.
Bardziej ciekawsze jest zobaczenie ruszającej się Merkavy
Super accurate
*Fix Ideas!*
HUDs: supposed to be from Half Life 1
Free tvs!
YAY!
I’m glad that free tvs is no longer lost media all because valve being the gaming messiahs they celebrated half life 2s anniversary
I wish we had that weird older crab synth model.
So is that gasmask citizen model 100% accurate now?
Park and griddy
Dark and griddy
Сколько бы я не находил в мастерской Гарис мода модельки этого танка, не у одной не было анимации гусениц
Спасибо❤
are the animations are recreations too? because they are damn near identical aspecially the hand fighting in free TVs
although i saw some tiny inperfections they are still basically 1 to 1
Should we send it to Mark?)
These animations were already in the leak or are you recreating them?
I hope someone makes a port for Coterminus.
noice
FREE TVS!!
getting Quake 1 vibes.
To be fair, HL1 initially was practically Quake 1…
Yay free TV
Very good.
Рус Очень хорошо
BOREALIS
Old school of hl2 is better that sh*t of warzone and fornite 😅
Будут ли ремейки моделей страйдера и крабосинта из оригинального видео?
You could rip the citizen dialogue audio from the demo footage and implement that for the free tvs quote. That's as close as we can get to the original if you did that
This video is really Dark and Gritty...
not enough
SO DARK AND GRIDDY
Pode fazer um remake da DEMO de 2002?
This will be HL2 in 2003
Based on the demo video?
This is so dark and gritty, good job! Don't forget to get yourself a free TV!
Sadly, that version of HL never was leaked.
Better than Alyx.
how do i play this?
TVS FREE TVS
Now we just need and open world survival Half Life combining elements of retail and all the betas!
it needs to be just a little crustier
Half life 2 would be much better if they went for beta story
I think the 2001 aesthetic fits better with half life 1
No, there's a reason most of this was cut and redone several times. Retail works just as well tbh

Not the same without 4:3 ratio and 15 fps
I have a feeling Half-Life 3 to be like this
