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

damn, i remember this thread when you first posted it

Highlights may do good, will stop pointless threads being created etc

[quote=LoLWat?]Don't know if anyone else found this but it'd be a great thing to add to the OP (As if it could be updated ) if i'm the first one to post it. I found the beta version of "Diabolical Adrenaline Guitar". It obviously isn't the original one from Valve, but the guy who did this spent a fucking great deal of time finding every single piece of this track from any and every source he could and then splicing them together and using even more time cleaning it up into an almost (albeit semi-complete) track. Obviously, there's still some hiccups in it and the quality isn't and never will be perfect. But it gives you a VERY good idea of what the original track was like before Valve remixed / redid it.[/quote] Holy shit that's fucking awesome, I love that song. Kelly Bailey is a goddamn genius. Fucking sucks he decided to leave, though.

Barney is freaky in that picture.

[QUOTE=cqbcat;27796307] I like how the graphics look cartoony in this screen shot, almost like a Pixar movies. It think that would have been a good direction for the art style, but Valve took the more realistic route.[/QUOTE] How the hell is it like a pixar movie?

this is like the thread that will never, ever die.

this thread deserves hall of fame or something i still remember it

When is Quiver coming out?

[QUOTE=Hybrid 4F;29620103]When is Quiver coming out?[/QUOTE] If you mean Half Life 1 beta, I don't think it's released

Man, those scientists really looked like they were fucking mad, ready to rip those guys apart. That's not a scared look, that's pure rage.

[QUOTE=Bokito;29629452]Man, those scientists really looked like they were fucking mad, ready to rip those guys apart. That's not a scared look, that's pure rage.[/QUOTE] Pity there aren't any alpha/beta skins for barney and the scientists,would be fucking hilarious

I just so happen to have Half-Life: Day One :P [editline]5th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=znk666;29629963]Pity there aren't any alpha/beta skins for barney and the scientists,would be fucking hilarious[/QUOTE] Well someone posted the HL1 Beta models and stuff on some site named "betaarchive", and they work fine in HLMV, so it might be pretty easy to make those skins.

If so, it's fake.

Most are recreations with some having been salvaged from various sources (like the valve dude)

[QUOTE=Juniez;29712343] I can definitely tell you the headcrab is not from the beta [/QUOTE] [media]http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8804/headcrabeta9.jpg[/media] Sure as hell looks like it is. Although it could be a recreation, like the Barney model.

If the whole game was like Barney/Kleiner stage 1 I probably would've had a heart attack by the end of the game. Some of the cut NPCs such as the Heavy grunt could've been fun to run into.
