The finickity platforming of the original replaced with something new and different that the team estimates will take around six hours to complete. Black Mesa: Definitive Edition Update 1.5 brings together all the improvements to graphics and gameplay across 15 years of development to create the final version of Black Mesa. Why has the comparatively small final act – the Xen section – taken over a third of the time? Because the developers decided to reimagine a part of the game that most players found a weak point the first time around. It started to make money because in 2015 Black Mesa went into Steam Early Access, with the majority of the game available to buy and play right away. Even after we got the green light to sell the game, we still did not make any money until late June of 2015.” “Who would have blamed me if I didn’t? For the majority of its development, Black Mesa was a volunteer project. You will consider quitting multiple times, and it is going to take you at least 14 years to complete.’ I am not sure I would have signed up for that. “If instead in 2006 someone said to me ‘This will be difficult. Whatever it takes!’,” wrote Adam Engels, owner of Crowbar Collective. Though some points do seem a bit forced and backtracking has been cut down on from the original, thats a bit unfortunate. And man am I impressed, they did a fantastic job. I did it blind-ish, I only played the original Half-Life about 15+ years ago. “ There are probably a fair number of people who if you asked them ‘Do you want to own a video game company?’, would say ‘Yes!

Fourteen years later, the cover version finally has a release date: March 5. Not to mention the fact that they’re all die-hard Half-Life fans themselves and are giving everything they can to making Xen a worthy addition to a classic.Back in 2006, a fan-made Half-Life remake using Half-Life 2’s new and shiny source engine was kicked off by a bunch of volunteers under the name ‘Crowbar Collective’. After fifteen years of development in one form or another, Black Mesa is almost finished. The Crowbar Collective has the burden of both Valve’s blessing on the project and years of fan hype and expectation buildup. That’s important to note in a project like this, given the stakes. Admittedly I didn’t have time to replay all of Black Mesa/Half-Life in order to carve the most organic path into Xen possible, but my sense and seared-into-my-brain memory of one of the greatest games of all time tells me that Xen will fit nicely into the overall Half-Life arc. There is danger, yes, but in the three chapters on offer in the beta, it’s a whole different feel and pacing from the non-Xen chapters. A couple of the jumping puzzles even managed to stump me for a few minutes, which I appreciated the new Xen is no literal walk in the (extraterrestrial) park. Purples, blues, and greens abound, in sharp contrast to the grey that dominates a lot of the Black Mesa facility in the front end of the adventure. The long-jump ability built into Gordon’s HEV suit is put to liberal use here, but what’s bound to jump out at you first is the color palette.

“The beta consists mostly of exploration gameplay.
