For those who don't know, this game has been in development for around 15 years, which means some of its older maps, while still prettier than the original Half-Life's, pale in comparison to its newer ones. The results are pretty attractive, in my opinion.Īnother significant change arriving with the Definitive Edition is updated visuals for older Black Mesa maps. The devs go on to show off some of their new dynamic lighting systems in action - see that below. "You now have to fight your way through a darkened facility to get the lights back on, kill the Gargantua, and 'Power Up' the tram," Crowbar Collective writes in their announcement post. Now, modders can create new content that includes scripts, choreography changes, and particle effects.Īdditionally, the "Power Up" chapter of Black Mesa has been completely reworked, with the team adding more "cause and effect" gameplay. For starters, Crowbar Collective has rolled out full workshop support for Black Mesa, which could be hugely impactful for the game's modding community. The full feature list arriving with the DE is mind-bogglingly long, but we'll try to cover some of the most exciting changes here.
Now, after months of post-launch effort, Crowbar Collective is finally ready to release the Definitive Edition - in beta, anyway. Indeed, work on the DE started before Black Mesa had even been fully released in March. Apparently, the studio has been working diligently on a "Definitive Edition" for the game for quite some time. With the recent launches of both Half-Life: Alyx and the third-party Half-Life 1 remake, Black Mesa, it's safe to say that many fans' Half-Life cravings have been sated - for now.įortunately, even more Half-Life goodness is on the way, courtesy of Black Mesa developer Crowbar Collective.
In context: Half-Life 3 might still be years away (if it hasn't been outright canceled by now), but that doesn't mean the franchise is dead.
