The Evolution of Half-Life 1. How the beta looked, and how it evolved into Half-Life. - Games

[QUOTE=postal]Hm? Seem to work fine for me. Try the 'click here to download' link.[/QUOTE] No, I had another link up there that had about 30 videos from the alpha and better versions of HL1. Non of them seem to be working anymore though.

Oh, you must mean these videos: [url]http://nostalgia.planethalflife.gamespy.com/hl-movies1.html[/url]

[QUOTE=postal]Oh, you must mean these videos: [url]http://nostalgia.planethalflife.gamespy.com/hl-movies1.html[/url][/QUOTE] Nope, not those ones.

Holy shit, this video sounds awesome: "If you can only download one of these MPEGs, this is the one to get. Action, music, scenes that never made it into the release, and pure brilliance. If this doesn't get the hairs on the back of your neck standing, you've obviously shaved them off."

I wonder what stage of the beta did they decided to put in the G-man

Gah, forgot to add the Gman. He's on there now.

That...is too cool...

Some of the removed enemies are being implemented into Black Mesa: Source.

Nice finds!

Very nice..To bad there is not a "Thank" button in general.

You forgot Gordon. Remember how he started out as a "Space Viking"? I think Gordon underwent a LOT of changes, you can't forget him!

Postal... Why the hell aren't you a moderator? [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=TheBlackViper]You forgot Gordon. Remember how he started out as a "Space Viking"? I think Gordon underwent a LOT of changes, you can't forget him![/QUOTE] Ivan the Space Viking, right? Ha!

[QUOTE=TheBlackViper]You forgot Gordon. Remember how he started out as a "Space Viking"? I think Gordon underwent a LOT of changes, you can't forget him![/QUOTE] Huh? He's on there. Lemme double check... Oh, and I found an alternate site with working download links to all the half-life 1 Beta Video shorts. So, to save you guys the trouble, I downloaded 'em all, and put 'em into one movie. It's currently uploading onto you-tube now. EDIT: Aw hell. I did forget Gordon. And I had a bunch of pictures, too. Gah, adding him in now.

Sweet, nice work! Love this thread!

Don't forget that half life was originally going to be called Quiver.

All good threads have a logo. [img]http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/5185/heythere6td.png[/img]

[QUOTE=postal] Ivan the motha-fuckin' space vikiing... :xd: [/QUOTE] Heh, nicely put. :p

[QUOTE=TheBlackViper]All good threads have a logo. *pic*[/QUOTE] That fucking rules, thanks! :dance: Oh, and added the gordon pic's. And here's the video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Re5vmwYQG8[/media] Later on, I'll go back and erase the titles from each video, since that just waste's time. For now, I was just focusing on getting it posted as quickly as possible. [QUOTE=Geiger count]Don't forget that half life was originally going to be called Quiver.[/QUOTE] Right you are. So says the HL2: Raising the Bar Book!

you do know there was a mod to re make the beta called 1997 it was being made by the same dude that made missing info!

Space Viking? where the hell did they come up with that? or better yet what where they thinking?

[QUOTE=silent_sneek]Space Viking? where the hell did they come up with that? or better yet what where they thinking?[/QUOTE] I think it's just a joke.

Nice

[QUOTE=Lupin]I think it's just a joke.[/QUOTE] The model wasn't a joke, just the comment about him being a space viking was.

Very nice work Postal, as usual. Keep doing these!

Postal, your threads are always great, and this is a brilliant insight into Half Life's history. It deserves this rating. Pac, get on msn you lazy shit.

Wow, I never didn't know half of this stuff but now you just taught me what Half Life really was. Thanks!

At one point they had some pretty kick ass blood effects.

I like the comedy models, like the first Barney and scientists.

I could upload HD images of the other characters if you want to.
