Darker! More clutter! - This in a nutshell it seems, funny how that makes things look better.
AltheaLeake6
Holy shit! Thank you!

I miss this game. I need to go through ALL of them again.

the fuck is brad pitt doing in there
ImJustHereSoIDontGetFined
It's funny how nostalgia enhances graphics. The improved graphics in the mod pics are how I remember the original game.
vauhtihirmu
Same here.
moop2000
TIL Looking Great = Looking Darker! :)
mastermikeee
I mean the with the mod, things are generally darker: but there's much more HDL lighting, and better lighting. So you shouldn't generalize.
Acarus
Half-Life 2 was TEN YEARS AGO?!
daviro
how do i get my hands on this?, i must play it again with this mod
Finrau
agreed. I want to relive this awesome game with better graphics

It's amazing how good HL2 looked when it first came out all those years ago. Couldn't do that shit on a console.
BrezzaSexy22
cant believe its been 10 years....
Simpleplayers
Thanks, But I don't need Ravenholm to be any scarier.
SrtaZeta
Holy shit, it looks great...
elrick43
And Half Life 1 can look great with a fanmade remake call, i believe, "Black Mesa" (I could have that title wrong)
Paragon19
Honestly I'm still pretty satisfied with the way HL2 looks stock.
Pikka
Totally. This adds entirely too much extraneous crap that just fills up the screen and makes it busy. Also, WTF is up with Breen?
yorhuckleberry
agreed, totally agreed.
ZacMuerte
i like some of the lighting changes, but the models don't look like the original at all, and the original feeling is changed
ZacMuerte
basically: I prefer stock, simply because this mod didn't know when to stop. and source is still a damn nice lookin engine.
Paragon19
I mean, it did get a small official graphical improvement after they developed Episode 2, right?
BobLoblawAndAssociates
Yep.
metalgearsolidv
Added dynamic shadows, I believe.
ZacMuerte
the source engine (so HL2, they're kinda 1 and the same) is getting constant visual upgrades. some are just locked to certain branches
ZacMuerte
(personally, I like the portal 2 branch the most. but all of them offer their own little quirks)
BrassKicker
Shaders and lighting in portal 2, even on my crappy netbook, look beautiful.
Erilis
Looks a lot better over all but I think it was a mistake totally changing the appearance of some of the central characters. Why do this?
aguyuno
The environment changes are cool, but I'd definitely avoid using any of the character updates. Except MAYBE Judith, she appears similar
MasterOfEntropy
I am currently on another play through on my new machine, and it's amazing how well it holds up.
ZacMuerte
and amazing how well it runs for how good it looks. even when it was new, it ran on just about everything, and looked really good.
BobLoblawAndAssociates
Agreed, Barney looks really crappy with the mod.
HughLaurie
You get to pick the character models. You can choose to play with the updated graphics but keep the stock character models if you want.

Barney and Breen look like they got roped in from some whole other game, and half the the adjustments seem to be lighting-based.
NuclearBoxcutter
Barney especially looks wrong here.

All the characters look like a horrorshow, but I think the real loser is Breen: http://cinematicmod.com/images/cm_11/characters/cm_11_06.jpg

But is there a Thomas the Train mod?

its Thomas the Tank Engine damnit

its actually just been Thomas & Friends since 2003
me4hill
God, you can just kill someones childhood like that
guardLK
youll find its surprisingly easy when you dont like children
charlieismydog
Making everything darker and and over saturated does not improve anything. The original totally holds up, anyway.
graehall
Agreed - for the first 6 shots I didn't realise they were comparisons. This is very average work.
suiseiseki
At least the extra light sources on some parts are nice, but sheesh, that new Barney just doesn't seem to work at all.
Midnaspet
yes but having better models, better lighting, more detailed levels, and heavily improved textures does.
isurus
I think it does add a different tone/feel, but I also appreciate being able to see things.
Tuwonwon
I don't like how they changed the look of the city from drab, grey European dystopia to Detroit. Way less effective.
Saniss04
IMHO, games like HL (1 and 2) are so great they don't need facelifting. Wandering through Black Mesa still works for me, 16 years later.
SmashingChap
I really think HL 2 is very overrated.
lahwran
it's has a bad case of "Seinfeld isn't funny" syndrome.
IDevelopGamesAndShitButMainlyGames
I agree completely, though I did like Black Mesa (the mod) a lot, especially with the addons that bring back the cut areas.
youreathing
I feel the same way about Quake 2.
Fatitude
I actually just finished Half-Life 1 again. After not playing it since the 90's. Only thing I wish it had was subtitles.

Well the engine for it is coming out soon so it will be as well thats what happened with HL2 its just taken longer.
aguyuno
I'm pretty sure it's a huge joke that they can't make anything with a 3 in it. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing HL2 Episode 2: Part Two
dorman13
hey, remember back when they were talking that episodes would be like episodes? new ones every 6 months? yeah.
Dreamare
Are you sure that it's not HL3? Can you confirm that?
Barackrifle
*Can you confirm that by releasing HL3
Leavan
Well, Dreamare= 7 letters + "Can You Confirm That" being 4 words= 13. 13 is an unlucky number so you go to 12 or 14 and 1+2 AND 1-4= 3.
Leavan
http://www.gameondaily.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/half-life-3-meme.jpg
Dreamare
Dreamare is 8 letters.
Leavan
Ahh yes...7 8 9, so 9 split between 3 numbers mentioned including self cannibalism is 9/3+ 3. Half Life 3 Confirmed
ImHigh
What is Sean Connery going to do with that little girl?
thiscannotpossiblygowrong
HL 3 is dead, it's never coming out, we need to move on...I'm just kidding! 9/3=3. Half-Life 3 confirmed.
dalescherrypie
though I've heard it's confirmed
Tofutoshi
I'd much prefer Half Life 2: Episode 3, but maybe that's just me.
Mradyfist
Jesus, what did they do to Barney? He's supposed to be a goofy security guard turned revolutionary, not a Marine.
ZacMuerte
just wait until you see any of their alyx models. she's super sexualized, just distastefully. "Alyx? eh, remove about 80% of her clothes."
MoaConstrictor
You say goofy, but he DID make it out of black mesa. That said; I agree.
Madmacattack
Yeah he looks like a doofy commander shepherd
lemonbull
I recall that there was an update that made Alyx black so...
godverdomme
They weren't even trying with the character models they just approved the first thing. This looks horrible and a complet lack of taste
anneka
I like cinematic mod's graphical enhancements but they did ATROCIOUS work on all of the character models. Alyx especially.
doubleormuffin
With Version 12 of the mod, you can choose to leave out the redone character models, but grab everything else. Best of both worlds!

Breen also looks like he's taken to taking alien meth straight through his eyeholes
JCrashB
The right texture in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
InquisitorGoldeneye
The right. Texture. In the wrong. Place can make aaaaalll the. Difference in. The world. F.T.F.Y.
CapitanMexico
TIL G-man is Christopher Walken
Pegussu
There's a reason he isn't using the updated Alyx model btw. It looks like this:
Shroomslapz
At least she's jacked? Meh I got nothin'
wobbu
They really nailed the shading on her upper lip.
DrIvoRobotnik
Isn't this the guy from that one Dragon Ball Z movie?
fictitiousspoon
Ewwww
Cryonight
If they removed the hat, and the weird lip shading, and added on a half shirt, It wouldnt be so bad. I kinda like the abs. but thats just me
Canchocolatejustletmefinish
She looks like Dee from Battlestar.
andlo
Ugh.
MasterTenzin
I was actually gonna praise OP for not doing so. Also to be fair, there's like 40 alyx model choices ranging from vanilla to that thing.
anneka
Yeah and most of them are abominations.
AndSoAdInfinitum
And every single one of them could be in battle armour or fatigues, and they'd still be ruined by that.
postmodest
Is there a sexy Dr. Kleiner? I want a sexy Dr. Kleiner.
aguyuno
I REALLY want a sexy dr. kleiner now
Flamerider
N'oh fiddlesticks.
walterpeck
Why not just make her look like Rashida Jones? god damn what a trainwreck.
hyretic
Technology has not advanced enough for us to be able to make video game characters as cute as Rashida Jones.
NotSoSadisticBuddha
Good lord
aguyuno
Like, that's what this mod does? Or..?
shadowex3
the mod gave you about 40 different options, most not nearly sexual.
HOHSISFoundationRepair
OH GAWD
DrunkGermanGuy
There's several alternative Alyx models, a lot of them made to resemble Adriana Lima.
Oublido
I like this one - took ages to get the right files working with the version of CM I'm using though :/
ewokpenguin
I like it, but it her nails look like they just got done. When the hell would she have time for that?
Oublido
While waiting for Valve to get off their asses and learn to count to three most likely.
Ketura
TBH not sure I like Breen in the suit and tie
Pegussu
No, I don't like the Breen model either.
KimJongtheKillest
hahahahahaha
postmodest
This is some real #stopgamergate shit right here: http://s.pikabu.ru/images/big_size/13032541708531.jpg
shadowex3
stopgamergate would be more along the lines of doxxing 30 people, hacking bank accounts, getting them fired, death/rape threats, etc.
Folamh3
Ugh. "So we have this character who, unlike every female video game character ever, ISN'T a creepy sex doll. I know! Let's make her one!"
shadowex3
Also there are about 40 alyx models, most of which are not remotely any more sexualized than the rest.
AC3R665
Tbh, this mod was released years ago bear this whole debacle became a thing.
