Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

This is a mod that redoes and expands a lot of Half Life 1 with great little details. Watched a Youtuber do 4 hours of this mod and was blown away.

Mod is called: "Half-Life Extended"

I read the description and watched the first trailer and I don't notice anything different. What are the changes in this mod?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There are new, hidden, and redone areas. They made it so that you go from training to the first chapter. Tram ride isn’t done yet from what I’ve seen. You have the option to swap between wrench, crowbar, and knife at different points. There is light shaft work. Some little details like functionally light switches and rooms with what is basically asmr half life noises. Enemies have new attacks if select extended difficulty. Its a long list Im sure I left out something.

Thanks!

Unfortunate to see that they haven't tested with xash3d or the like. I'd be especially interested in the ray tracing fork of xash being supported.

Improved lighting does wonders for old games, imo.

Might have to check this out when I do my next replay of Hl1/HL2 (I do them every 2-3 years).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I forgot to mention this mod isn’t 100% finished yet, it only goes about to the start of bombardment. I was so impressed by what has been done so far I thought it was worth mentioning despite that. Hopefully by the time you are ready to do another play through they’ll be done.

Cheer!

My last playthrough was about a year ago, so I have time. :)
