[Vinesauce] Vinny - Half-Life 2: Betas (PART 1)

all right everybody this is half-life 2 betas it's a variety of half-life 2 betas from over the years this is something that kind of like you know early builds of the game and just being an archaeologist archivist for stuff that never made it into the final cut or was improved in the final cut apparently according to nari a lot of this stuff was just acquired over the years randomly and this mega build that I have here is by hl2 - beta are you they put together this like massive thing where you can play any of the ones you want like for example from e3 2002 there's fan made fixes there's all kinds of like builds from 2001 to 2003 so we're gonna do the 2001 version and it's early to mid 2001 game was still taking place in North America Thank You nari for these notes lots of tests and cut content just so you know by the way a lot of this was fixed to be playable because originally this was totally unplayable or barely playable so they fixed it up you guess we can just play new game and then press map so I have a bunch of map so this is what half-life 2 looked early we'll try to do as much of this stuff as possible hang on a minute Maps list so I have a list of maps I don't plan on doing all of it but I'm gonna do again a bunch of it boy this looks like half-life 1 this is the source engine this kind of looks like the assault map from counter-strike welcome to city 17 it's shitty here and again this is an improved version so I like how they just have regular old mp5s its source but they were still weren't using world gen think now I did play some half-life 2 beta stuff a while back but not this extensively Vinnie why did you not say shitty 17 well it didn't occur to me but goddamn it now I wish I had I kind of wish there was like a way to I kind of wish there was a way to see the most notable maps like the most interesting ones so there's just like almost no audio here oh my god this is like the outside area of city 17 apparently half-life 2 was originally going to be set in a world where everything was radiated which is why they're wearing gas masks that's original Breen that's a it's more like Neal Breen right it's great to be part of the greater good [Music] well from this early early build even though everything's chunky you can still see the beginnings of what this would eventually become also the jackets on the combine really invoke a certain vibe that is definitely something that I feel would have been fine if they didn't cut it yeah you could say that you could say that these [ __ ] cameras a massive but yeah that like the oppressive feel of half-life 2 is still here oh I want to get run over by a train strong 1984 influence yes very Soviet by the way if I were to do all of the content that's available it would take me probably I'd say 10 to 12 hours or more that's that you know if I really spent the time working on all of this and I really checking it out I definitely would be here forever because this is extensive so the cool thing is there's a text file that has the names of the maps and the dates that they were compiled so this is one of the earliest ones there's earlier but this is one of the earliest maps well I guess it's too loud now so there's the division of maps in this list here between maps that were in half-life 2 or would go on to become like kind of the prototypes for what half-life 2 maps would look like and then there's non-story maps which i want to see some of those early man hacks this looks like to me like a pretty decent sequel to half-life 1 but not the next like evolutionary step if they had shipped it and it looked more like this I would have been you know like oh yeah that's half-life oh [ __ ] these lads these were enemies at 1 what the [ __ ] this looks like something from like a horror mod the original version of this map was covered in missing textures so once again the people that compiled all this for some of the maps that had 0 like textures in certain areas they went and redid the maps a little bit just so it would look like a video game and not just a missing mess my limited knowledge and what Nerys telling me led me to say that to you just now what date did this get compiled this was April 9 2001 alright now this one's February 14 2001 so this is even earlier this is the earliest date I see here so this might in fact be one of the very first half-life 2 concepts compiled I don't know based on what I'm seeing here it looks like it no there's I go to January there's one from January that's Alex oh oh boy no not even really modeled very much at all there's a little bit not fully at least I want to know what the [ __ ] this thing is why was this cut I love this this is like that meat technology so it looks like even early on the combines like half meat half technology half like metal kind of technology or available what's this so these were in the Citadel I didn't even know that these were in the Citadel I might have you know what they might be like yep yep okay all right fair enough you see them for like five seconds I was gonna say in the Citadel there's a number of things that you can look at it's like the tram ride in half-life 1 but into the Citadel so you see a bunch of weird [ __ ] so yeah also eight pcs well it's nice that they didn't have to scrap the model completely even for five seconds can't run by the way this is my like top movement speed I wonder how much the matrix influenced some of this stuff alright let's take a look at this January map I have one from January 26th and one from January 5th so this is a January 5th map this is I'm gonna say it and then I'm gonna probably eat my words but this is now the earliest map that I've seen on this list this is probably much more interesting to you if you've played half-life 2 before which I'm sure most of you have but if you haven't I have a full playthrough of it just if I could plug my own channel for a second the name of the channel is vine sauce and there's you could just go to the half-life video on the vine sauce the full sauce that's right you could just go to the vine sauce of the full sauce on the YouTube and you will find that these prototype weapons this is the borealis it's kind of weird that one of the first maps they did was the borealis and yet you know you go through the game and there is no borealis and it became this thing of legend oh my god look at the [ __ ] recoil on this thing well these are some scummy models to slam oh I'm all tabs binoculars that's kind of a cool effect though it's very Blade Runner no do not kill I'm busy [ __ ] [Music] so I guess this would have been one of the super weapons except it kind of sucks it looks cool at least oh my god - stop stop urning stop it oh that's really annoying more like a meat weaponry this kind of reminds me of the opposing force weapon it's the gauss gun an updated version which was then put back in in the version i played so that's cool so yeah one of the first maps is a map for what was supposed to be episode 3 that never really never really happened speaking of I can't believe how many iterations this game went through most developers would just take what they had and be like you know that's the game we just have to make it work like for example here's camo city oh that's cute vini that's not true at all after it leaked in 2003 they pretty much redid the entire game and they do constant revisions like like every developer because I mean have you seen me play Monkey Ball banana blitz it seems like they just went with the first ideas they had alright fair enough good to know if it is good than it was iterated upon many times well I'm glad to be corrected Thank You chat that said the amount of maps that I have here that are completely unrelated to the storyline are more than the ones that are related to the storyline for example here's one from February Vinnie stop trimming your beard well what else am I going to be able to do it if not during Sunday stream I love throwing these stalkers in there [Music] speaking of early builds I wish I could see the chrono trigger early bills I think beta64 who's in chat hey beta64 and a variety of other people have liked some footage of it and some screenshots and there's like weird flying machines in 1000 AD so there's some stuff that exists like you can see what it looks like but you don't really like I would love to play one of those builds so it's kind of amazing that you get a chance to actually like go through this stuff in half-life 2 and there's so much of it to remember this is only one version wait what the hell I thought this was camo city what was camo city yeah no it's like sniper death town so here's a map I want to know what this is all about twenty percent twenty percent twenty percent Alex don't really know who that alex is this is a completely different Alex this is like twenty percent of what Alex ends up looking like that's my guess map chopper an indoor helicopter this kind of looks like my first half-life one map map burn targets this is like a Sven co-op map I used to play where you would like harass scientists by pressing buttons and they would just burn well we'll all take turns I'll get mine too Oh No that january map is still the earliest one i found [Music] left ears man it sounds so great [Music] let's see some of the more advanced maps I'll thank God for that okay so this one this one was like September 2001 oh god what are you doing no it's like really not at all what half-life 2 ended up looking like it looks cool I mean this would be a good half-life 1 map it looks like they just upgraded this the gold source engine and you can see far someone said it looks like Goldeneye yeah it looks like the area you get the crossbow a little bit if any are you playing hunt down the Freeman well similar quality source was originally just gold source with physics interesting all right well I'd need to know clip through that let me check out here's one that does not have a date at all like this is a mystery it says here restored parts of the older map the date is unknown this I think I can pinpoint this this seems like an early version of the house that you like when you're driving around and then you have to let go through the roof of a building and then there's a there's also another building where there's a helicopter fight all right try to find here's another early city 17 from January just kind of like at random whatever sounds interesting I'll check out and then I want to do more than just 2001 half-life 2 I want to see what it looks like year after year even if I miss some stuff I'd like to show you the progression from 2001 to 2003 yeah all the e3 demos are here too so I could always show you those this might be a part 2 this might be like a two or three parter if it's interesting I don't know if it is maybe not right the second but I'm fascinated by this I know a lot of people are I know there's a lot of people that love half-life 2 and beta content as much as I do but this probably will have no impact on a good portion of my audience and for that well I mean life sucks but otherwise I hope that maybe we can find some interesting stuff to look at synth map synth the ìiî raven home demo is good yeah I'm gonna check that out too so again pretty empty aside from a couple maps that have some fights there's that one map that had all the weapons weirdly enough I'm wondering if they were all yeah pretty much wow there's a lot more weapons in this game originally so here's the og physics gun wait a minute so there's a physics gun and a gravity gun here's the baton which was put back in in M mod here's a ice axe you know to help you get to the borealis yeah the physics gun was eventually used in Garry's Mod here's the pistol which I think got a little bit of a makeover I don't know I kind of would have liked a gun like this in half-life 2 I felt like half-life 2 had a lot of good weapons it definitely had an arsenal that you could every weapon had a use like even the pistol kinda was useful later on but a little more variety wouldn't have hurt this has a couple different firing modes get the shotgun of course what the hell's the name of this the machine gun with non-working scope brick bet I guess you just throw bricks is the AR with horrendous aiming here's the thing that would go on to become the AR - but it's incendiary for now sniper rifle of course which became the crossbow combine guard gun yeah this Arsenal definitely kind of reminds me more of opposing force than it does half I've to that was pretty much a BFG zombie town so map zombie town maybe that's why they removed the weapons yeah I mean it makes sense to remove the weapons I would have I always wanted a little bit more variety just because I loved opposing force and there were so many weapons and opposing force that were really cool but the final arsenal of half-life 2 like I said all of it was useful and it all made sense Springfield MA board strange map very very strange map oh I founded the earliest one that I can find I got a map here from 2000 December 2000 the smoke looks a little bit more in line with what city 17 ended up feeling like not entirely but this just looks like there's a mod I used to play for half-life 1 called Vampire Slayer double Alex kinda looks like a map for that that was a cool mod okay and finally let's take a look and I'll maybe not finally but I'm winding down on this build of half-life 2 and this is the earliest map no it's not I found them even earlier one god damn it I gotta stop saying that all right so this looks like the cave from episode 2 City test nine is the oldest map see city test nine oldest it is old well I mean it is oldest December 18 mm not this simple they still have the half-life 1 sounds [Applause] big chunky barrels Wow Wow okay let's see one more one more one more I want one that is really really late 2001 maybe something from like November 2001 anything that's really really far along try this one I did this one Wow good thing they load quick here's an early version of the citadel from August 22nd 2001 okay well that's kind of neat it's kind of cool really kind of ugly with the you know what when it looks like it's in half-life 1 gold source but it could could have been cool if they kept at it looks like one of those modern buildings that they're doing in New York City like there's a lot of buildings in New York City that look really nice and classical and then you have some new ones that are just bizarre and they twist and they're just designed to catch your eye but yeah kind of looks like that also alex is still the constant no movement nothing all right well that was half-life 2 2001 here's half-life 2 2001 to 2002 what does that mean different Maps in a different engine I think let's take a look so there's a whole new set of maps here Oh fine this is why [Music] it's an early training that Oh dr. Freeman you can kind of still see the quake a little bit no we'll get there eventually it's a matrix code what the [ __ ] cleverly done mr. Freeman but you are not supposed to be here as a matter of fact you'll not get back where you belong and forget about all this until what the [ __ ] that was that was amazing I think he said until we meet again if until we eat again that's the kind of [ __ ] that I want to find stuff like that oh no I said until we meet again let's see well maybe here's what we could do maybe chat if I miss anything if you guys want to like scour through this and compile the most interesting maps for part two I know that's like a lot to ask but I mean there's a lot of you if anyone's like really really into this and you know there's something I would definitely love and we'll be good to show the stream because there's like hundred we're talking like hundreds and hundreds of maps but if anyone knows any good ones for next time for part two just let me know you don't have to but if you want to or if you already have that's something that will be cool let's take a look at c17 Road one okay so this build is still crust this is very very similar to the previous build this is again like Vampire Slayer I remember there was a map with just big buildings like this and you would just be a vampire and you jump through them and like a priest with a shotgun would try to kill you before they killed them I think they were just trying to test the limits of like how far you could look you let's take a look at City 1701 17 noclip does move faster yes yeah it's this one again remind you of anything this looks like the one from earlier but with less stuff you okay I don't think I'm gonna spend too many time you know we don't have a lot of time and why would you give too many time for one thing you just don't so I'm gonna do some of these maps like for example map domino this is a joke map there's a whole section here called joke maps including pachinko we laugh and we say Konami but valve could just as easily get a half-life pachinko machine out there and no one would bat an eye so this one is spelled physics with an F can we got a trebuchet we got a catapult here we go catapult let's go ye oh that was a bad year this may not look like much now but the physics were a goddamn amazing it for 2001 map machine yeah most interested in these maps that is a couple Rube Goldberg machine kind of or no it just more of an industrial machine it's a bit of rube [Music] well I could just imagine seeing something like this for the first time being one of the developers it's awesome okay pachinko because now they have this amazing physic system so what's the first thing you make well not pachinko but what's the third or fourth or fifth thing you make pachinko let's spin the plink arrow wheel and which bad movie are we getting today pins though there is that III demo that showed off a lot of the physics that was kind of [ __ ] amazing and that was the first thing I've seen like I remember that was like the first demonstration of half-life 2 along with the stained glass windows that I remember I remember seeing those and I remember the Raven home demo I don't know which one came first but they're both here so yeah we can we can check out both of those I like that this is a thing that you can do in the engine and nothing like this is ever really fully used in half-life 2 like just aspects of the spin they basically invented beyblades and video games cool there's probably something else like here's a map called what is 50 antlions 50 lions 58 liens it's not it's not quite 1 million revenues but I'll take it I thought it was gonna be a g-man when we got 58 lions instead who who would have known here's a bus it's math bus here's the bus bus map items ooh come on not to boost headcrab that's a surprise bottle this counts is brickbat or whatever I guess one of the ideas was that you could just throw a bunch of like trash it's broken they get stuck I couldn't throw it in time I gave birth to you well the pistols looking pretty pretty good it looks pretty much like it would you know what it's supposed to look like it looks like the pistol from half-life 2 they settled on that look pretty quickly more or less stuck with it yeah I think they just kind of someone in chat said they made a little darker sure all right kick me to map kick me to someone said where's beta64 when we need him like actually here he's here he should be doing this not me you he left he's not here chat nevermind he's here there he is beta64 have you ever done a half-life 2 series map the zoo dust so in chat he just said I haven't but the sheer amount of stuff is daunting yep I consider me fully daunted the Dalton is bigger than best in game they did this just because they could show offs I've never seen this I mean I've never seen a lot of this but some of these textures pretty cool this is not the stained glass thing I was talking about but I know that's here somewhere okay great particles ooh map particle Zoo that's the e3 tech demo well I will show you that don't worry cool bump map bumper light style now remember a lot of this is from 2002 so the game is definitely improved the engine has improved aligned me now that's interesting that could be an album with that that bump mapping now this is really this is really cool for 2002 let's check out a couple other maps that are unrelated to the story and then I'll move along to the 2002 build which were not even really fully there so oh these are grubs from episode 2 so this was an original thing for half-life 2 that was used later huh well the grub emote is coming in handy chat is telling me to stop squishing them do you stop squishing them chat 2002 and 2003 map packs aren't ready yet it's only 2001 2001 to 2002 leak net and III what's leaking it Mary the one that says likhna no no what is it I know I know where to find it I've just wondered what is it it's the fixed up version of the 2003 hack oh well that's a whole thing so for those that don't know half-life 2 this was a really big [ __ ] deal but it was leaked got hacked and it got leaked and people were playing it and it was not a great version or it was good but it wasn't from what I understand it like they went back and redid a lot of it it was yeah I was just really unfinished and people were like this game sucks but all Google also this is starting to look like half-life 2 this is the first time maybe not the first first but we're starting to get into like half-life 2 looking maps including barrels that don't look like chunky hexagons this is the old version of Kleiner's lab oh yeah okay I can see that Lamarr would be up here it's like the beginnings of Kleiner's map still very empty but pretty cool also a way bigger lab poor dude got like you know paying double the rent half the size he moved to New York City okay let's find one that is a little further along barrel roll not a meme well that too but not in this case [Music] well it yeah I mean it's the beginnings of this area the canal the water is rainbow it's oily chat it's all it is it's just oil II water someone someone who Chad just said it's Diddy Kong Racing all right so that's that build now nari when you say that the maps are missing it's just unplayable like I could load into it but I can't actually get to the maps is what I'm trying to figure out what that means exactly but let's see so here's the readme No levels manually well I've been doing that anyway but it'll only load the leak net maps got it okay all right so what do we do next let's do a 3 mm - let's stick with the chronological order even if we're missing some stuff so this is III mm - if I'm not mistaken this is the first like public appearance of the game yeah the citadel looks kind of cool there it seems like they started figuring out what they were looking to do ete 3 2002 was cancelled the one you're thinking of is e 3 2003 it was never shown however it was used to make the first trailer gotcha so when was the first trailer for half-life 2 displayed III 2003 okay yeah so it looks okay I mean it's still it's still kind of a little bit early but for how early this is it's starting to look very much like half-life 2 the trees are yeah the skybox is nice the trees are little obvious which is why I think it's good that in Raven home in the final version they do emphasize that a little bit and so instead the trees are kind of more up on ridges and stuff Vinnie this is III slowed down that camera okay get some anise tropic filtering see is there a mouse smoothing option because I can get some serious III camera no yes I just saw it as you can see the world we've built will react to your mood this is a world where if you planted a tree 20 years ago you will live to see the tree grow hello everybody it is me Peter Molyneux we have created a game where you can be the god of the world well you can have a child in the game come back 20 years in real life and the child will have grown into a new MPC you can literally do anything here's a child I incubated with in my own womb and then the game comes out it's just Tetris this is definitely good this would have been pretty good demo now chat when you say a 3 2003 not a 3 but III 2002 rather was canceled you mean valve showing this was canceled not the entire III right all of it the demo was canceled ok cuz I was trying to think back to 2002 and I can't because those gaps in my memory are very real but I think I would have remembered if an entire III got like chickened nice physics I wonder how many of these textures ended up being in the final game or if some of these are replacements because I recognize a lot of these textures I just don't know oh by the way I'm stuck in here now oh good that's a good thing they didn't show that off people would have been stuck in there for hours pretty decent build pistols very similar to what it would end up being shotgun feels about the same still lacking a little bit of polish a little little stamina a lot of these textures were missing things such as bump maps they were pulled from the final game cleverly designed brick physics I guess that was it [Music] now if that was the first showing of half-life 2 in 2002 that would have been pretty cool it wasn't too bad does it play like an evolution of the half-life series not quite even though some of the physics are still in place and look kind of cool apparently there's more Maps I'm looking here I don't see there there are more Maps okay I'm gonna go back into it then swap to the e3 2003 for more complete version okay hang on a minute before I do that let me do one more map for the 2002 version because I'm more interested in so like there's strider map III strider okay so now city 17 it's like the end of the game where city 17 is in rubble and you have to destroy a bunch of Striders this is still not not great but much closer and the Striders were one of the coolest [ __ ] things ever when they were revealed I always really enjoyed their long legs so let's just take a look around yeah they're in a pretty decent state amazing how much work got done on this in a year to go from like blocky half-life 1 maps to something a lot more interesting I don't think I'm supposed to be over here really but yeah and then implementing the Striders to the citadel whoa I didn't even [ __ ] really spend time looking at that the citadel looks kind of cool let's go into the skybox it looks like a cleaner version of something you'd see in Midgar but it's a really shiny I like the final version better but this is pretty [ __ ] cool it looks like a vape yeah it kind of does it actually I was gonna say it looks like a flamethrower it looks like a vape it also kind of looks like something like the Burj Dubai it doesn't look as alien as the first one or is the final one right that's yeah I like it better in the final version but that's pretty cool okay so that's the 2002 build let's jump into the 2003 build just to speed the timeframe all along a little bit really wondering difference was made here well that immediately when I see a rotating 3d logo I think polish I think quality it's got some nice shading too ah hello and welcome to half-life 2 III build ah being rather busy in your absence mr. Freeman face yeah I remember this this was next level for the people can't hear you speak up what that was in like a corruption video of mine I think I remember that line they were showing off localization support okay okay yeah so this is definitely now the first time I remember seeing half-life 2 was it was a demo of this oh my god what I was gonna say before was in 2003 this was [ __ ] mind-blowing this was the next step in videogames like you know if you were born a little later or if you just grew up in a time where you know games were kind of more in the HD game generation it can't be overstated how important this game was for all that this was like a next step and me being a huge half-life one fan I remember seeing this in particular too and remember they were talking about all this stuff and I was like [ __ ] blown away by it just showing off the physics I was like wait would would that sounds like would but I mean yeah we did a pretty big time jump from the e3 2002 demo to this way better demo just designed to show off all the tech before it gets you into any kind of real combat help these mattresses are still impressive showing off like the body parts and stuff this was not meant to be played it was only for demonstration purposes well they did have it playable at 2003 right but Raven home was playable or no no okay I think that was just a dev playing it so this is this is one of those things that just sticks out in my mind when they did the material showcase I was floored by the graphics I couldn't believe especially this one right here note they spin when you get close to them it's such a good tech demo of what this game could do oh yeah and the stained glass still looks great nothing was playable everything was so scripted if anyone went off the beaten path the game would break the actual game was in really bad shape back then well that'll lead us into the 2003 leak when we get there but see I didn't know that in particular I knew it was in rough shape but I didn't know that like it was held together on like pins and needles or rather what's the what's the expression Chad's not pins and needles paper clips and band-aids duct tape sure japes and vapes he's like why would you why would you to that mr. Freeman hey for something being held together with duct tape pretty much this is still pretty good if you go off-script this camera would eventually be extensively used in Garry's Mod so you have to say to yourself where the [ __ ] is Garry's Mod this is fixed up oh they fixed this up too I figured they might have only fixed like the beginning stuff like the super super early [ __ ] all right so we're even home again water is a little weird so even though it's fixed up the water is still kind of strange it looks better I can't really quite put my finger on why it looks better as long as they don't look at that tree for too long this one in particular look as long as they're not showing the audience that this tree looks like poop then we good the lighting yep yeah the lighting is yes it is that you were only meant to stay on the doxa for this part if the map load is there you need to fall into the water at the start of the map to progress ok so then they took this bit from the 2002 build and then they just chopped it up so there should be like some kind of trigger over here it just depends on I don't know where it is oh there it is found it the original leak was 50% purple and black and most scripted segments bugged out this version is highly fixed cleaners head came off I can't help thinking this isn't going to work we should listen to my father and done it his way it's just this is the first time I've had any hope of really striking back at the combine and now we're sitting ducks unless we can get this thing running come on dr. kleiner is it gonna work or not zoom face no there's nothing to be nervous about let's see a massless field flux should stuff limit and I've clamped the manifold parameters tools you are a base an LG orbifold the hilbert inclusive yeah that zoom was actually the first zoom was scripted so I'm assuming there's another scripted of sequence here that takes you to the next map don't know where it is oh it's zooming in again without my consent please Oh fie oh no this is the famous I think this is the famous Raven home demo [Applause] nice yellow arms you got there it looks like he's wearing tracksuit underneath the uniform this music gets claimed oh that's fun just leave it down there for now I wonder if Latin auteur owns it they seem to own everything else not sure where to go not that way it kind of blows my mind that half-life 2 is not on the switch it's almost like valve just doesn't want to put that game out anymore because they want people to forget about it why would it be no I know it's what I mean by that is like you would think it would be like kind of an easy drag-and-drop an iconic game when so many other people are just porting stuff over Capcom Square I don't know it's not like it needs to be on there it's just a thing that feels obvious I guess orange box would be good you're supposed to climb the stairs in that main building Oh something glitched over there restart I guess [Music] the entrance was blocked by a washing machine probably scripted I mean it's been years since I even watched and I've watched the demos like for a nostalgia purposes I think once or twice but I couldn't tell you specifically what happens chat seems to know or they're watching the video alongside this I'll screwed that up this gun actually pushes you back in this version there's recoil there's heavy recoil original combine voice all right that was the thing that you were supposed to do - yeah and then there was this this was another thing that blew my mind come on let's do it turn it on yeah turn it on go faster [Music] good enough so yeah there's a lot of stuff here that's scripted that I'm not getting you should just if you want to see comparisons you've probably just like grabbed that on YouTube half-life 2 e 3 2003 demo and see exactly what they did to sell the concepts to the people automatic for the people that's definitely not where I'm supposed to go mono just linked it in chat if anyone's interested yeah this is cool though it is cool to play this considering I watched this a bunch in 2003 I remember really really wanting this game and then when I got it was great I upgraded my computer specifically for it ah I remember it was like really exciting when the first half-life 2 mod came out thing was called dystopia but there were a number of really early ones that seemed a lot cooler than they were just because they were the first and I felt like man a path life one mods are this good I can't wait for half-life 2 mods [Music] okay so even now in the 2003 e3 demo this gun still shoots fire [Music] [Music] not entirely sure if that is supposed to activate a new scene but there it is go back exit to the right this is an interesting like meta game in and of itself trying to find the spots where you need to go to and if only I was a valve employee circa 2003 I would have this no problem I'm stuck Dominic you rat oh here's a place to go to hello scripted combine yeah I couldn't find the spot I'll write this thing I remember that aqua mentis or as I like to call him aqua mental how could they die but what happened to that thing what happened to the water thing that was basically Morpha from Ocarina of Time which I don't even know how that fits in with the half-life 2 universe just completely cut yeah I'd like to think it would have made it into episode 3 ok listen when you're doing the demo do not look left why oh [ __ ] the AI wasn't that good and it wasn't fun to fight and you know as Reggie said Zippity zappity if it's not fun then go [ __ ] yourself all right I would like to speed this along a little bit I think this is more or less how many more maps there are of this demo but it's early Nova Prospekt the right-click is not working so this must also be heavily scripted come on do the squeeze [Music] and now they're getting ah there now all right that said as cool as this is really quickly so that was most of the e3 2003 demo which some of that I remember some I don't really interesting to finally play through it after all these years but I would like to check out this leak again this was big news and I remember people [ __ ] on it and be like the game sucks bro so what can you do Neri where's the map list for this one how old were you in 2003 I was Oh God this was the original intro Oh hohohohoho the leaked version was sold in stores yet didn't they I don't know where you came from I can't be see Paul imagine buying this how old was I was um I was 18 in 2003 looks like a mod of half-life 2 it just yeah it looks I mean I've been here before it's very very obviously placeholder but is a very very good thing that they went and redid all this Vinny thanks for making me feel young you're welcome you'll be here soon eventually why do you have two voices get away from me the voice of the citizens was done by Marc Laidlaw 8 by 44 knob again this is fixed up so that it's more complete and playable right but still imagine buying this because someone like hacked and got a leak Oh God oh [ __ ] okay so here are the maps yeah this is rough I've never actually seen footage of this leak so this is way more rough than I expected oh yeah and this is fixed up exactly well I mean that's what you get for you know getting an early version of a game oh boy this early now you can buy early access games just like this yes the chat member well you would hope it would be a little bit more developed than having unfinished textures usually early access tries to just give you a little piece of the game I mean you know usually a lot of early access can be broken but you know you would hope you don't get like beta just unfinished wanna unfinished but unplayable what I mean by that is noida for example is early access and that game is like you could have told that you could have sold that game as a full game and it would have been great so if you're a good developer early access means that you have an almost complete game that you want to make more complete as opposed to you know what I'm talking about huh what was that noise what noise was it a meat noise someone said I made a meat noise oh I was drinking water chat Freeman I was just like glugging some water nice dude I could imagine I could've really really just imagine buying this game I said it before but what a [ __ ] horrendous nightmare this must have been for valve [Music] well this eventually looked better but here's all this I don't even know what just happened well honestly this vehicle did not get that much better I can't even leave the vehicle okay so whoa okay okay and I'm dizzy and I am dizzy good how about we just noclip a little bit yeah we're gonna noclip and then check out this house yeah a lot of this was still in the final version just cleaned up polished looks way better than this also I think they increased the fog in this area so that you couldn't tell when that stuff was happening I always remembered this area I was like why is this foggy and the rest of the game isn't Valve offered the leaker a job as a ruse to call the FBI if he flew to America I remember that but I don't remember did he accept the ruse and get arrested he was arrested so he did not what the German police arrested him he got arrested anyway he accepted but the German police got him first massive ysus this body looks like jello it's too shiny [Music] dear Lord I mean it got better the physics got a little bit better but you can still do some crazy [ __ ] maybe not this crazy like for example the gravity gun will eventually let go of the thing I can as long as I got some gravity I still got it why do I still have this I love it oh man but this must be a very fun bill to [ __ ] around in with the physics okay I could probably get to space using this body [Music] if I just find the right combination of objects like this boat for example let's see nope antlions I'm busy going to space let me go to space [Music] my intention was to checkout maps and see what various builds of half-life 2 looked like but now I'm just playing with a gelatinous corpse hang on a minute hang on a minute we can do this I almost had it [Music] just trying to do some crouch jumping [Music] well I tried if you crouch jump on top of the body while grabbing it it should launch you know I can't actually the body itself is not interacting with Gordon like you need a buffer otherwise it's not gonna work [Music] [Music] alright next let's take a look at a couple other maps while I'm here because this is still very interesting [Music] you [Music] - [ __ ] is this place Vinny you're not gonna have time for your other games well here's the here's the secret the grab bag garbage at the end is a backup strat just in case I needed something else it's the boss a games collection I'll definitely be able to get to that because that's something I think I could probably knock out in about 50 minutes or so so I'm all gonna do this another like ten minutes but this is really interesting for me so I don't want to stop doing this right the second but the grab-bag garbage or gamble or whatever we're calling it is also really good and if I don't get to it today which I won't then next week Vinnie would it hurt to stream an extra hour once in a while it would hurt because that would go into about 5:00 a.m. for me and you know I'd like to have a life you know now if you want me to stream earlier no baby can't do it too much streaming too much trash I'll give you four hours okay so here's leaked 2003 Raven home and I'm going to assume that this is a more complete Raven home than the demo from e3 of course it is zombies look a little different but otherwise yeah this looks pretty pretty damn close so I got to imagine like even though some of this was a disappointment especially in that initial train station there's still some good stuff in here to check out you're still getting a version of half-life 2 that is almost oh my god did you see his arms [Music] did he say Santa oh he's dead now alright see ya oh my god all the beep is still happening I'm sorry Chad I didn't know that was going to happen oh that's horrible I don't know the lighting looks pretty good here but I still feel like I can't put my finger on it but something ended up was it better lighting by the time the game was finished was it like other post-processing stuff it's stuck over there it was a lot darker more color depth so it was color depth it was maybe bump mapping as well it's a more detail probably scattered about also if you watch my M mod stream keep in mind that that looks better than half-life 2 does because the lighting was improved and there are a couple other little things there too so you know I'm comparing this to my most recent playthrough of half-life 2 which looked even better than it was supposed to but yeah this is still again at the end of the day this is still more or less Raven home and it looks pretty okay maps will check out a couple more I want to try zoo extras Oh Lord here's that 20% room again who the [ __ ] are these kids oh this is creepy John Connor jab what is happening what is going on with our eye you it's a slow-ass sniper rifle what what is going on those models are of child workers I had no idea there were child workers and just came at any point probably a wise decision to cut just based on the fact that I'm doing this and people would have lost their ever-loving [ __ ] in 2003-2004 okay map zoo portal what why is it typing backwards chat what the [ __ ] was that map zoo portal fallout 1 and to let you kill children which games well Skyrim you can't kill children right GTA there's no kids in there like I know it's a little taboo in some games to the point where they won't let you kill the child well aside from mods you know very very blue okay this is a weird one let's try a couple others real quick honestly the train station again this is the part where you're running on the rooves and this looks a lot better than the train station did this looks a little bit more complete of course when you have details like the music those birds that fly around and things shooting at you it becomes a lot more interesting but yeah this is it's a lot better if it weren't for my horse there's the birds who the [ __ ] is driving this what also thank God they found a way to fix this up and make it feel like a real place and much more alive because this is that's just a shame is what that is I can see where the textures would have been missing let's see maps one more here we go final final one do we have any citadel here no what I'm trying to say when I I know it was obviously an early leaked build but I get why people might have been a little worried so the extra quality that they put into this game before release was a ton they put a lot of work into it and it's it's very clear it shows we well yes we could just check out the prison probably my least favorite environment of half-life 2 is the prison stuff but it's still gameplay wise it can be kind of fun oh it's this area this is where you fight off that horde and you have to like move your turrets around me if you remember my stream I brought like a thousand turrets with me there's a character in the movie demolition man that looks exactly like Eli Vance and I'm wondering if his face was based off of him you so Eli's face was based off of a homeless dude all right well anyway that was half life - yeah that was a very close someone in chat said these are kind of boring because they're so close to the final game well yeah I mean we you know I took you back to the past to show you the shitty builds that suck ass and then I showed you some other stuff however for a future stream of this if I do more there's also air exchange mod city 17 mod I don't know what that means fan made fixes fan made Maps half-life source beta there's 2000 to build mm rebuild and then there's the thing mod what is the thing mod [Music] I don't know who made this I don't know where it came from it's an earlier bill than the one you just saw so here it is [Music] if it's supposed to be on like based on John Carpenter's The Thing [Music] you [Music] the thing is the first ever mod for half-life 2 okay this mod was made with the leaked developer tools is technically one of the first half-life 2 mods interesting ok very interesting well it's it's pretty damn close to vanilla half-life 2 except yours getting like destroyed and [ __ ] by antlions alright well that was again half-life 2 beta and its various forms when 2002 and 2003 are fixed up and the maps are available and like I said if there's anything I missed that you find particularly interesting in you your travels please let me know because I would like to do a version that's a little bit more focused regardless I think we hit most of the major stuff and I hope that was educational for you as it was for me
