What exactly is Half-Life source? Is it a remake of HL1 in the source engine? Will it a free downlad be avaialabe to to the those who didnt purchase one of the more expensive silver, gold, or collecters editions of the game? I would love to play HL1 in the source engine so I am very curious.
I believe you are reffering to the Half Life source code. They had a lot of problems with keeping it out of the arms of hackers. Thats part of the reason the realesing of HL2 was delayed for so long.
Half-Life: Source is a digitally remastered version of Half-Life and I think it will not be available to owners of the ‘bronze’ version.
Is it the Half-life 1 source? I did hear somthing about it being released soon.
Anyways, I’m reffering to the Steam page
http://www.steampowered.com/
and if you notice under the silver and gold editions it states that they include Half-Life 1: Source, which seems very much like Counter Strike: Source. As I’m sure we all know, CS: Source is basicly CS remade with the source engine, so it might be logical to assume the HL1 source is a similar product. Thanks for your response X-Warrior, but I am more confused than ever now. %|
I got the Collector’s edition of Half Life 2 which includes Half Life: Source. It looks almost identical to the original, except the people have shadows and the water looks more realistic. I read that this was a direct port of the original. They didn’t update the graphics like they did with Counterstrike: source.
Yes, but the game’s name is just ‘Half-Life’, so I left away the ‘1’ ;).
For a comparison of the graphics change, I found 2 images:

I think there is a real improvement, but I’m just not interested in playing it again…
There is quite a bit of improvement there. Maybe somday I will play again, alghough after the fith or sixth time the game really starts to wear thin. In any case, it is still very neat.
i think they both look terrible. at least in comparison to the HL2 final engine.
I have HL1 source.
The graphics are still not good, but there is ragdoll physics, rigid body physics, swinging physics, etc…
The bullet holes are %10000000 better, there is shinyness, shadows, and more stuff thast I won’t bother to tell you.
Half-Life Source is NOT the source code, it is just HL1 being rendered with the HL2 engine (also known as the Source engine, hence the name).
wrong thread sorry
