Black Mesa: Xen Trailer

[Plunkie]

In celebration of Half-Life’s 20th anniversary, Black Mesa has finally released its Xen trailer. Looks promising, even though it took longer to make than the rest of Black Mesa.

Q2 2019

Did they delay it again?

That's okay. We can wait more. Waiting is the only things we've been doing anyway...

Well, it’s more uplifting news than the inevitable “oh here’s a half-off sale i guess” news we’ll probably get from Valve today anyways

But this time, the wait was worth it. I liked how they designed the environments to make it familiar yet different. Also, nice touch with the additional research outposts from the previous expeditions, never saw any of that apart from a few dead scientists.

I wonder if every Half Life game will be remade by the Black Mesa team.

We’d be dead before that happened.

We’d be dead before that happened.

With all the assets of the first game completed, the expansion packs would be reasonably easy to churn out. HL2 and the episodes are another story, of course.

We'd be dead for a shorter time than we would waiting for Half Life 3...

Bitchin'. It's close enough to an official full Half-Life game, I'll take it.

Sorry my dude

Sorry my dude

Considering the quality? I'd be ok with an original project.

So is this gonna be another Hunt Down the Freeman?

Not sure if bait but it's a complete remake of HL1. So far it's been really good. You can play everything up to Xen right now.

My post was mild bait, but I didn't realize that parts of this game are now playable.

Ten plus years in the making, but definitely worth the wait

 

[Guardian G.I.]

So Xen now looks like an alien jungle and not like a bunch of barren asteroids. I really like it!
The overall art style reminds me of Avatar a little bit.

 

[Shitassdeaddude]

Well if nothing else the testicle monster looks like a fun boss.

 

[Gar For Archer]

Good news, this game is legitimately nearing completion! They pretty much have just the final boss fight to complete, the rest of Xen seems to be fully playable.

Wow, finally!
