This trailer is made in a manner that shames over 80% of modern game trailers. I had a nostalgia and a tear of happines while watching it. Thank you James ♥️🍾👍
@@DARK-vj1em Seriously. Half-Life's story is well done as it mixes environmental storytelling with straight up dialogue. Funny how System Shock (Which came out 4 years prior) tried to do the same thing yet failed then BioShock did the exact same thing System Shock did and was a success.
I get if my comparison is weird but half life is so enjoyable because it’s like a movie that you can control and don’t have to watch some stupid main character die 😂
I remember,I was stuck in a place,with a Gargantua,I had to get out,I had 5 hp,I run like a speedrunner and escaped from there,That was the only moment i feel badass

Returning to this vid: I like the detail of using the crowbar to actually pry open the vent
The fucking air duct crawling was great, making a subtle joke about how much vent crawling there is in the office complex.
Who is here after Half-life Alyx ?
Me ;)
stop begging, try posting a actually funny comment instead of being a fucking loser who begs for comment.

Just realized, Gordon makes some grunts/sounds in this. Here are some timestamps. 1:40 - 1:42 (Choking sounds, and a grunt)
1:43 (Strained grunts, trying to open the door, and a breath before pounding on it) 2:36 (Gasping in surprise when the scientist is shot)
3:14 (Pained grunt when he hits the ground)
1:32 glasses? oh I forgot that freeman never uses the helmet, also, great trailer man

James, i hope you have found a career by now, this seems like todays standard animation, good on you.

Yeah, what the guy abive me said, i think he even helped with the hands in HL: alyx
Footage of me raiding area 51 colourised

Everybody remember to save up on magnum ammo before entering
@@average_pyro an HEV suit wouldn't hurt either.
Area 51 memes are dying lmao
The us government when they discover there's only one person at area 51 raid:😃
The person: Gordon Freeman.
The us government: 😦
3:05 i genuinely thought that would happen in the game.
Yes now was the time i played Half Life 1
it doesn't matter when you play it it is important that YOU PLAY IT
With a guy like James Benson responsible for the animations inthe game Firewatch I have little doubt that the animations in Firewatch are going to be amazing
Kudi Why? He's really good.
SSketchii Thats what I said, that I im convinced that the animations he´s doing for Firewatch are going to be amazing
Kudi "I have little doubt that the animations in Firewatch are going to be amazing"
That means that you kinda doubt they're going to be amazing..
I means that I don´t have any doubt about the quality of the animations
Kudi Actually, you are grammatically correct and you did indeed say correctly that you have very little doubt that the graphics are going to be amazing, doubt being basically that you have a hard time believing it won't be amazing. It just did sound off, even to me at first.
lol something funny is that people think that the logo is a man holding a crowbar, when in actuality, its the the lambda sign used in the lambda equation
When I think about it, it is rather strange Gordon doesn't suffer from PTSD because of this.
What makes you think he doesn't
@@hannibalburgers477 he says nothing, and it doesn't exist any clue of that on Half-Life 2
:|
Dude probably does, and If you consider the remake ( Black Mesa ) canon then it gets even worse.
He don't have time to suffer from PTSD
Lol that Black Ops assassin got fucking humbled.
