Black Mesa Source V5 - "They're still working on Xen?" - Games

They're still work on Xen? :vs:

[QUOTE=Pigbear;48211960]same time as Source 2 :v:[/QUOTE] It's already been out with DOTA 2 Reborn

speaking of xen, the devs said to make it better, does this include nihilanth voice too? because honestly... i dont think that voice fits him... kinda just hear him [video=youtube;OjHOmV0p5zc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjHOmV0p5zc[/video]

what are you both talking about? nihilanth's voice is perfect.

[QUOTE=MenteR;48280546]what are you both talking about? nihilanth's voice is perfect.[/QUOTE] I like the voice, but hate the repeating.

Just needs rerecording obviously. Would be neat if it sounded similar to the vorts.

One thing I never understood about Nihilanth - was it a native ruling creature or some-such before the combine got ahold of it or a bio-engineered synth by the combine? Given what they did with Earth, I want to believe the former.

Xen is not their native dimension.

I hope they added more detail like this or considered it at least

I like the small reference to Magnusson when you blow up the casserole. Makes me wonder. Who told him Gordon was the one who did it?

Menu sounds are broken if you pause in singleplayer mode. I'm not sure if it has been like that from the start but probably not. Also, tau cannon still charges too fast in singleplayer.

uhh found this today, and its not a save file from a previous version. I started this save file in the same version. [video=youtube;JG_fC2Kg8YA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG_fC2Kg8YA[/video]

There is something wring with Dr. Kleiner's shading. Not running any mods [URL]http://imgur.com/7obqBKf,BP3cnxO,NgCeIm0[/URL] [editline]26th July 2015[/editline] It happens everywhere, not that just room, and only to the good doctor.

that looks so plushy and cute. doesn't look like something that would devour a whole corpse. besides, even the hl1 barnacle looked more disgusting than that. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WyaQWfL.png[/IMG]

That Barnacle model looks like it's based off the early concept art Barnacle: [IMG]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/images/c/c8/Barnacle_concept.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110618021544&path-prefix=en[/IMG]

Still looks too fat in my opinion, and the white support parts aren't ribbed in that concept.

You know what would be neat, exploring Black Mesa before the RC. Before everything was destroyed.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;48341545]You know what would be neat, exploring Black Mesa before the RC.

I believe one of them already released part of Lambda Core on the workshop.

everytime i kill an HECU marine, his ragdoll gets posed like a sexy guy [t]http://i.imgur.com/VM2xttW.jpg?1[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/KzlWVah.jpg?1[/t] no srsly i killed like 21 marines and they all got posed like this, i only managed to take 2 screenshots because for some reason the game dosent allow me to take screenshots while ingame, i must click ESC then resume and quickly click F12/F5 dunno about you but i took these pictures at the 1st of july, thats 3-4 days after the gay marriage thingy happened... soooooo were the HECU marines celebrating it?.... by doing... sexy poses... when dead... ughh..

Something i would like to see is a BM mod that it takes place on Aperture

[QUOTE=KayoDuck;48350567]Something i would like to see is a BM mod that it takes place on Aperture[/QUOTE] its called black mesa for a reason [t]http://i.imgur.com/WHxIVlH.jpg?1[/t] not BLAPERTURE MESA, but if you mean an aperture map in black mesa deathmatch then yeah why not?

That looks similar to something

I mean a BM gameplay wise but with a different story and set on Aperture. Not a copy-paste BM on Aperture.
