LordShadowZ Posted June 20, 2017 Looks incredible. And I'm sure it'll be just as fun as the rest of the game. 1 Share this post Link to post
DooM_RO Posted June 21, 2017 This makes Half Life 2 look like garbage. I think it needs a facelift too. 2 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted June 21, 2017 Is Xen supposed to be so pretty and fairytale-like? 1 Share this post Link to post
antares031 Posted June 21, 2017 It looks like a view from under the ocean, rather than the actual Xen to me. But, I also approve this new Xen since I LIKE BLUE COLOR. 1 Share this post Link to post

Deleted_Account Posted June 21, 2017 It does remind me of the ocean floor which in of itself is pretty alien looking, so this interpretation of Xen is effective. 1 Share this post Link to post
Idiotinfrontofadesk Posted June 21, 2017 I binge played Black Mesa when I got it and beat what it the first few days of owning the game. Well, it's obvious what'll happen again once this comes out. 1 Share this post Link to post
Trycon Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Is it bad that I'm more amazed by the new dynamic light system than Xen? Probably.... In any case, this looks awesome and I'm looking forward to playing it. 1 Share this post Link to post

Egyptian Guardian Posted June 23, 2017 It's as if they took the sunlust.wad and imported it into the source engine. Absolutely sublime! 1 Share this post Link to post

mrthejoshmon Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) I'm so glad they stuck with the beautiful microbe like nebula style the originals had: 1 Share this post Link to post
wheresthebeef Posted June 24, 2018 Seems like Xen might be half the length of the Black Mesa campaign when its finished. That is a hefty update and no wonder its taken so long. 2 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted June 24, 2018 It took nearly 8 years for a playable version of Black Mesa to happen, so maybe another 8 for Xen lol. 0 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted November 19, 2018 It's 20 years old, will valve remember? most likely not but anyways. Xen Trailer (no release date) Also check it out this neat Azure Sheep remake, it's out in the Workshop. 3 Share this post Link to post

Xen Trailer (no release date) Course not, I'd be almost amazed if anything new in HL's universe ever gets made by Valve, and if it will it won't be the same since the majority of the staff is gone. It'll quite possibly include micro-transactions too, so that's an absolute skip from me. There's some rumors about a HL:VR that's supposedly a prequel to HL2 but does anyone still believe HL rumors after over a decade of absolute silence? Oh, and there's that Portal and HL movies which are still in the shadows. Moving on, not an exact release date, but it's coming sometime in Q2 2019 (Huh, so it's going to be sometime during the summer again). That trailer was unbelievable, I would've never expected to see a trailer before Xen's actual release, but they did it, and man doesn't that look amazing. Fresh, on a much larger scale, very immersive and yet so familiar, but we still don't know a whole lot about it since they aren't going to spill the beans just yet. Interloper is said to be very different from the rest of the chapters, but we haven't seen anything from it for instance. Now all that's left is knowing what they changed in the NPC and graphics department as well as a new update on the state of the chapters in December. 1 Share this post Link to post
[McD] James Posted November 19, 2018 The Source engine is looking as beautiful and impressive as it ever has. 2 Share this post Link to post
seed Posted November 20, 2018 I really wonder what's the point of that tower. Or could it be some kind of citadel? That's actually the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jon Posted November 20, 2018 Looks great. Reminds me of bits of No Man's Sky, but also "Annihilation" 1 Share this post Link to post

That's actually the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it. It's a Remake of this most likely, a portal which you jump into in one of the outdoor Interloper sections (c4a1a), but now re-imagined to be in some sort of tower instead, hopefully you still get to it on top of this one of these Alien Crafts heh (with less platforming ofc). 0 Share this post Link to post
