First is Corey “ CoreyLaddo ” Balsom who’s working alongside FMPONE on the upcoming Levitation mod. Wanting to learn more, I reached out to two of the scene’s more prominent developers.

From minor cosmetics to full-on campaigns, that’s given Alyx a second life beyond Valve’s original designs, and that’s not stopping anytime soon. It’s a blessing, then, that they patched in Steam Workshop support, which currently houses nearly 1,300 individual mods. It’s seen a few post-launch updates like developer commentary and smooth turning, but considering nothing’s happened since November 2020, Valve’s almost certainly done with its own significant post-launch updates. In fact, the gravity gun is available in this demo and you can get a taste of what the team has achieved so far.Two years since launching, Alyx remains one of VR’s finest games. Moreover, it will feature vehicles (the team will use the func_vehicle entity from Counter-Strike 1.6 to mimic the behavior of the vehicles in Half-Life 2) as well as its signature weapon, the gravity gun. It’s worth noting that the final version of Half-Life 2: Classic will feature a HL2-based movement system (which means walking and sprinting, with speeds that match up with HL2), as well as swaying viewmodels similar to Half Life 2 (though these will be optional). The team has been recreating demake models for all monsters and characters from scratch and the demo features new texture for normal zombies, making them wear citizen clothes instead of scientist ones, new sounds for weapons, footsteps, and more, new models/textures for weapons in the low-poly style of Half-Life 1, new “advanced” options to toggle weapon sway and change weapon fov (this will probably be used for more stuff later on), and allows zombies to be cut in half with sharp objects.Īs its title suggests, this demo features the entire Ravenholm chapter from Half-Life 2, fully playable in Goldsrc as a Half-Life 1 mod, and those interested can download it from here. And yesterday, the team has released a demo that you can download.

Created by Team Classic, this demake mod aims to recreate the entirety of Half-Life 2 in GoldSource Engine. In June, we shared some screenshots from the Half Life 2 demake for the first Half-Life, Half-Life 2 Classic.
