Source Games on Source 2
good night I'' m certain you ' ve currently listened to that valve is now breaking down exclusive invites for individuals to examine their new game Counter-Strike 2. it'' s a remake of Cs go that operate on that elusive Source 2 engine we ' ve been hearing about for like one decade now and lots of renowned streamers and YouTubers have actually currently started sinking their teeth into all the video game'' s quirks and technicians online yet while this news is certainly interesting it'' s likewise left'followers who aren ' t famous twitch streamers or that perhaps put on'' t treatment that much concerning Counter-Strike feeling simply a little bit neglected because the only various other resource 2 title on the marketplace today is half-life Alex and since that video game requires an expensive virtual reality readied to play it'' s not exactly the most easily accessible either putting all that sideways though it ' s certainly still really amazing to recognize that the age of resource 2 is ultimately upon us and when I first listened to the large news I obtain a Lee started up CS go and happily approved the in-game invite that I certainly received so just how was it sucks okay so I really didn'' t obtain very early access to Counter-Strike 2. Yet that ' s fine since you understand what I did recently get access to personal variations of Team Fortress 2 portal and Half-Life all operating on that exact same Resource 2 engine exactly how is this possible you ask well through the power of British people especially this British person Gary Newman you most likely understand him as the person behind Gary'' s Mod why is he vital to this video clip well due to the fact that given that around 2015 Gary has been working with Sandbox a personal unreleased video game development platform that'' s been operating on the resource 2 engine because 2020 and not also lengthy ago Gary for one reason or another agreed to provide me very early access to it implying there'' s currently a globe of private Resource 2 games at my fingertips all set to be played and flaunted to the globe in this video what could go incorrect Jokes Aside this truly is an awesome opportunity and after checking out what sandbox needs to provide I believe that it'' ll be made use of to do things a lot more impressive than upgrading old shutoff games from 2007.
Yet for the benefit of this video that'' s what I ' m gon na be using it for anyhow so today I ' m gon na offer you all a take a look at some ports of valve ' s golden era Classics running on Source 2 through sandbox compare them to their original equivalents and with any luck offer some amazing understanding into what a step to the brand-new source 2 engine might imply for games that aren'' t Counter-Strike starting certainly with every person'' s preferred class-based shooter Group Fortress 2 is a video game that never ever reached its complete possibility it is just one of one of the most beloved multiplayer FPS video games of perpetuity still keeps greater than 70 000 daily players despite its age and was an innovator for the style in a great deal of methods nevertheless regardless of its continued appeal TF2 today really feels under kept it runs rather inadequately has a terrible dishonesty issue and generally has actually started to show its age a little bit and it'' s because of all this that the concept of a resource 2 Port reviving the video game has actually been sustaining the wet dreams of TF2 gamers for an extremely long time currently actually you may also keep in mind back in 2021 when this video of an intended TF2 Source 2 Port went viral despite the fact that it was really just a Unity engine task somebody worked up and never bothered completing nevertheless this TF2 Source 2 project established by a team called Amper software application is still actively being serviced and in fact does operate on source 2.
for genuine I'' ve always discovered it silly when amateur mod teams Market themselves like professional game studios however credit rating where credit history is due Amper is in fact doing some rather expert work right here the video game is for the many component completely enjoyable functional you can position all the classes and all of their Technicians Function virtually one to one just how you'' d anticipate them to you can sticky dive Rocket Jump taunt kill your teammates you obtain it the listing of maps you can play on is not huge however those that are readily available have actually been practically totally rebuilt to take benefit of the new engine using boosted lights innovation the team has actually crafted some quite gorgeous Renditions of iconic TF2 maps with nearly no hits of The Video game'' s performance putting points side-by-side you can quickly see how various every little thing looks and while the visuals may not be perfect in my viewpoint they are still extremely impressive the uis are fully useful although they'' re a little bit cumbersome and I couldn'' t aid yet notification that there isn'' t a means to switch off rapid tool button that makes me extremely depressing yet provided that this remake was constructed nearly from square one by volunteer devs I'' m in fact extremely amazed with what I ' m seeing here it looks like the team also has some ideas for new initial material they may Apply in the future like new maps and game modes and I for one am actually very delighted to see how the project progresses and how the area will obtain it once it'' s launched to the public especially because well it'' s ending up being increasingly clear that valve themselves have no intents doing any kind of significant deal with TF2 anymore I assume this project shows that while a main Resource 2 Port of TF2 would be a Huge effort it would additionally go a long means in modernizing the game increasing its reach and possible and obviously boosting its graphics and efficiency too that'' da thought carrying on though following up is one of the most famous challenge games of all time [Music] international Portal'' s witty riding and cool technicians have helped it stand the test of time as a genuinely Memorable experience and among things the series is recognized best for is how it is continuously pressed Hardware restrictions to bring us mind-bending puzzles and crazy collection items due to this it'' s really amazing to assume about what possibilities bringing portal to an extra powerful video game engine might open for the collection back in March 2022 valve offered us aperture workdesk work a brief Technology demonstration operating on Resource 2 indicated to market the vapor deck but while this video game was set in aperture it didn'' t have any type of puzzles and it was likewise only regarding 30 mins long so if you'' re curious about seeing what an actual fully fledged Portal video game on Resource 2 may resemble complete with challenges and websites and whatever else we'' ve pertained to expect you'' ll requirement to look no more than quanta box quanta box is a video game that brings the technicians and features a portal ahead to Source 2.
It doesn'' t have its very own campaign however the concept is that when sandbox launches to the public individuals will certainly have the ability to utilize quanta box to make their own Site Gamings on an extra modern and adaptable engine currently the entire thing is still in hefty development and the variation I played was unquestionably quite buggy but maintaining in mind exactly how little the group is and how way out this things is from release the job they'' re doing is amazing and I think the site Neighborhood is going to have an area day with it once it'' s completed however that ' s regarding all I need to claim concerning quanta box so let'' s carry on to the last project I ' m going to reveal you in this video clip which additionally happens to be my individual preferred international Half-Life the game that offered shutoff their start and for life transformed the FPS category the half-life collection is well understood for pushing boundaries with every new launch Half-Life 1 showed us just exactly how immersive a shooter game can get Half-Life 2 showed simply exactly how interactive and lifelike a game globe can be and Half-Life 3 well unfortunately it never ever appeared the buzz around a mythical Half-Life 3 trendy operating on Resource 2 has actually never really disappeared but until now the closest point we'' ve obtained is half-life Alex which don'' t get me incorrect is a terrific video game yet since Half-Life Alex has actually used a virtual reality established it doesn'' t control like a typical Half-Life video game does and three years after launch a great amount of the area still hasn'' t had a possibility to play it yet that implies for the virtual reality impaired such as myself the closest point to an official Resource 2 Half-Life experience would certainly be I think playing with these Half-Life 2 Workshop maps with an OVR mod however that kind of sucks so rather enter Half-Life resource 2 which allows you play both the traditional solitary gamer project from the initial Half-Life and its multiplayer Deathmatch mode all revital recognized on a new Powerhouse of an engine currently this is not a remake it is a port inside out it brings Half-Life 1 code onward to Source 2 and fills it in with Half-Life resource possessions leading to a really unusual and interesting experience in regards to gameplay the basics are all there all the NPCs and weapons are existing and mainly work just how they'' re desired primarily in terms of visuals it'' s certainly an intriguing and trendy result to see these late 90s designs tracked by real-time lights and darkness and these Maps actually look rather cool in my opinion despite their sometimes glaring concerns the multiplayer Death Suit is equally as fun as it remains in the initial though I did face some issues with tool computer animation rates and the means the degrees reported appears to have actually brought about some amusing unplanned repercussions but considered that this whole point is evidently developed and preserved by basically simply 2 people this is still an extremely excellent job and I really had a great deal of fun with it this Half-Life one really meaningfully benefit from being ported to Source 2.
Probably not I imply if you desire an up-to-date version of Half-Life 1 black Mesa has actually been out for like 3 years now however that doesn'' t mean Half-Life resource 2 isn'' t a cool experiment worth taking a look at when it launches so what did we learn today well resource is a really awesome engine and it looks like Resource 2 could end up being also cooler perhaps it absolutely has a great deal of prospective and it'' s going to be intriguing to see what various other games valve and their Community wind up building with it in addition since I'' ve obtained my possibility to plaything around with sandbox I lastly type of comprehend the hype behind it as a g-moder in mind I had a great deal of skepticism when I initially began reading about exactly how it was a Gary'' s Mod follower yet after obtaining my hands on it myself I'' ve recognized that it'' s not even really a video game on its very own but rather a system for people to build video games from it'' s obviously never mosting likely to replace Gmod however that'' s not even truly what it'' s attempting to do its direction is much broader than that and I think it'' s most likely mosting likely to be a larger deal than individuals recognize anyhow while these ports are intriguing and reveal that bringing these classic games to the resource 2 engine could majorly boost their graphics and efficiency they'' re also extreme tips that that process isn'' t as straightforward as simply copy and pasting old code right into a brand-new engine there'' s a great deal of Kinks and insects that need to be ironed out before any one of this stuff is released to the general public and there'' s truly no means of understanding the length of time that will take that being said if this is what a tiny group of ragtag volunteers and even simply two individuals can come up with using tools that get updated every week and damage their whole task who understands what we'' ll see in the future when the more comprehensive Neighborhood obtains accessibility to the finished and completely stabled variations of all this stuff it in fact makes me think there may be a bright future for the valve game modding Area fingers crossed I didn'' t obtain anything incorrect in this video clip given that I still put on'' t actually recognize all that much about sandbox or how individuals create games on it yet in any case thanks for seeing thanks once again to Gary for giving me sandbox accessibility join this thing and press this thing if you place'' t already peace and have an excellent day [Applause] it'' s you sometimes [Praise] [Songs] I think I see your face [Songs]
