Half Life Original or Half Life Source?
Why?
>>333807158
Source fucks up the artist's intention.
Doesnt source adds some glitches to the game because it was not made with physics in mind?
Source version has more bugs compared to the original.
better question
original half life vs half life w/ high def pack
I like both!
>>333807158
Play regular HL1 then try HL:S to see what changed
>>333807242
>artist's intention.
Stop
play black mesa
>>333807158
>82 shells in one pic
>43 in the other
You cant use that to compare.

Nice selfie, but what purpose for posting it?
>>333807158
original
>>333807667
original
>>333807927
no
Black Mesa is the real HL Source
>>333807927
Have they fixed the literal aimbot on soldiers? If not, fuck that shit.
Is that really Source on the left? Looks a lot shittier than I remembered, I'm pretty sure CS Source looked a lot better than that
>>333810054
>CS Source
Are you dumb?
>original vs cheap 2004 cash grab thats also broken?
>why?
Wasn't Half-Life:Source supposed to be a tech demo showing how Half-Life games/mods could be converted to Source? I don't think it was ever meant to be played seriously.
>>333810186
Why? CS Source and HL Source both run on Source. How does that comparison make me dumb?
>>333810583
No game ever was meant to be played seriously. Games are for fun.
play the original for that aesthetic
>>333809330
They did
>>333807158
Black Mesa.
I don't really care. They're basically the same.
The thing that actually bugs me is I can't convince my friends to ever play it with me. I really loved the multiplayer for that game, and co-op is real fucking fun too.
>>333810607
completely different games, retard
>>333810054
It's because that's literally just original HL's assets thrown in the the new engine without any extra tweaking.
>>333810997
They ever add Zen?
>>333811345
Xen. They're working on it.
>>333811616
I have heard this before
>>333807158
Original, since EAX isn't supported in the Steampipe version and the weapon models are fucked.
>>333811728
>EAX
I'm sad this isn't a thing anymore. that stuff did wonders for the audio ambience in some games.
>>333811893
I know, it's really sad sound design haven't progressed much, I still replay older games like F.E.A.R, Thief, Doom 3, Blood Money, etc.
I don't know why more people don't realize how much sound adds to immersion. People argue about graphics, and now all of a sudden VR is supposed to be the 'be-all end-all' of immersion.
Just look to games like Dead Space, BFBC2, Silent Hill 2, Stalker, and many others that I can't name off the top of my head, and you'll see how important it is.
>>333807158
>original
>aesthetically pleasing blue water, gives the hallway a realistic look
>Source
>water is completely changed to a fake-looking reflection, destroying the artistic vision of the original map
Fucking unacceptable. How could anyone defend this?
Original, as long as you don't enable the fucking horrific """"HD"""" models that completely fuck shit up.
Source has no checkpoints.
>>333807782
you forgot that games are art, eh?
>>333807158
Original, because Opposing Force and Blue Shift.
Isn't source missing like a whole map or something?
Source. But don't expect extremely advanced graphics.
Source has much worse enemy AI and has weird issues with SteamPipe. Even though it has better looking water and a properly working crossbow, it's still a far inferior version.
>>333812619
Not all drawings are art
Same thing with games
>>333807158Ricochet2 WHEN
>>333807158
original is objectively the better choice
>>333807158
Original.
Source was hastily put together, super buggy port, which looks inconsistent, does not support HL1 mods, and even has worse AI.
>>333807242
>we intended our game to be 640x480 as that looks the most lifelike.
>>333815876
Half-Life non-source has long been updated to 1080p
>>333814243
;_;
>>333817694
and beyond, actually.
>>333807158
original because source was literally a tech demo to show how easily you could port the game to the new engine. or at least something along these lines
>>333807158
> Half Life Original or Half Life Source?
Black Mesa > original > source
>>333807927
I'll play it when they bother to finish it.
>>333807158
I haven't been able to finish eithereven though source is unfinished, I always get bored and drop it around halfway through. HL2 on the other hand I love, finished it multiple times. Don't know what it is about 1 and its spin offs/remakes that makes me drop them.
>>333814243
Man, we used to joke about that, but I'd take Ricochet 2 at this point.
I just want Valve to make games again.
THERE'S ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER
WEAPONS IN THE ORIGINAL HAS A SET DAMAGE CALCULATION
WEAPONS IN SOURCE HAS THE PHYSICS ENGINE FACTORED INTO THE DAMAGE CALCULATION
WHICH MEANS IN SOURCE, YOU CAN USE THE CROWBAR AND SMACK THE ALIEN GRUNTS IN THE SHINY PARTS AND KILL THEM
IN THE ORIGINAL YOUR CROWBAR JUST BOUNCES BACK AND MAKES SPARKS ON THE SHINY PARTS
ALSO INSTEAD OF HAVING HEALTH, THE TURRETS IN SOURCE BEHAVE LIKE TURRETS IN HALF-LIFE 2 WHERE YOU CAN JUST KNOCK THEM DOWN TO DESTROY THEM.
>>333822238
>ALSO INSTEAD OF HAVING HEALTH, THE TURRETS IN SOURCE BEHAVE LIKE TURRETS IN HALF-LIFE 2 WHERE YOU CAN JUST KNOCK THEM DOWN TO DESTROY THEM.
which is not bad at all
I actually like graphics and engine upgrades but for HL you have to go with the original.
HL Classic = works
HL Source = very buggy (honestly it feels like a early beta).
Black Mesa = Looks very good but they fed up the balance and game play (to be fair I'm not up to date maybe they fixed it).
>>333822385
only way to knock them down is with explosions though
it's not like you have a gravity gun in HL1
I bet a graphics mod for the original HL could look better than both. I don't see any Source releases with physically based rendering or fancy graphical effects, and their bakes radiosity+cubemap solution is looking really dated - especially when the cubemaps still don't line up with the area around them.
