Mostly big sections of On a Rail and Surface Tension, IIRC.

Reminds me of Finding Nemo. Xen looks like a coral reef. I wonder why are the screenshots so tiny?Originally Posted by EvaUnit02
Surface Tension extended was integrated into the commercial release Black Mesa campaign. On A Rail extended is indeed in the Steam Workshop.

One of my favorite Half-Life 1 singleplayer mods is being remade in Black Mesa:
Looks very awesome. Must play this when it's done.

That was the mod with the sexpot female security guards, right?
Apparently so. Somehow I had completely forgotten those. Even looking at the screenshots, I still don't remember them. Maybe I played a version before they were added? I don't know.
Those must have been added after my play of it.
I'm remembering the plot now. The PC's girlfriend that he's trying to rescue is basically Jill Valentine from Resident Evil in her STARS special police uniform. The non-descript copypasta lady Barney's were modelled after Avril Lavigne.

Hah, that endnote. Cheeky bastards, but it looks like this is going to be worth the wait. I never thought I'd ever say this, but Xen looks beautiful.
Looks good. Awful lot of footage of walking scrotum for some reason.
It's certainly... colorful.
I feel like a lot of people are going to have a different idea on how an HD Xen would look. That being said I'm really digging it, and how they are trying to diversify the ecosystems a bit, more than what I remember of the Xen levels at least.
As an aside I was really enjoying Black Mesa until around 2/3 the way through it and an NPC who needed to push a button outright refused to, and I had no saves that went far back enough. Killed my momentum with the game.
Looks good to me.
The First part of the remake of the Azure Sheep mod for Black Mesa was released at the start of the month. Some initial obtuseness of game guiding you along the linear path is past, it's a straight forward ride. Fairly high quality levels for a fan project IMO.
Criticism: The occasional Accented Russian Engrish original dialogue sticks out like a sore thumb. The custom player hand and weapon models don't work most of the time for me, I was stuck with the vanilla Black Mesa variants.
EDIT: Aiming for explosives is totally off for me, thanks to the glitching custom weapon models. Blind firing the likes of the rocket launcher is quite awkward. I'm getting random cycling arm models between the mod's custom Barney security guard, some sort of zombie and what looks like the Counter-Terrorists from CS:GO.

I've been following that mod for ages now. I'm waiting till it's 100% done before playing it. Looking great.
Yay
