Black Mesa: Blueshift

Well, it certainly adds some shape. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s an UFO

it’s an floating xen island i guess… i don’t find it blank… it looks extremely perfect and realistic!!! keep up the excellent work!!

Looks like tf2 only in better quality.

If I can be serious for a second, I think The Shift has more variation in the intro, but yours certainly looks better and is much more detailed. I think you’ve got plenty of buildings. I imagine this area to be mostly underground, anyway.

It’s good as is :slight_smile:

If u have a look to Black Mesa itself, there are not alot of buildings on the surface…

The main facilities are situated underground

Well, it’s supposed to be a secret facility. If you place hundreds of large, fortified buildings everywhere then people will start to get suspicious.

Indeed!

When u have a look to Area51, u only see some building on the surface, rumors tell us the main part of the facility is situated underground…

Well Black Mesa looks like Area51!!!

Both situated in New Mexico, unknown research and with guards surrounding the facility, even with barbed wire

So the secret is, that Area 51 employs a theoretical physicist in his late 20’s that whacks brain humping alien crabs with a crowbar 0_0

No, the secret is that a fictional place resembles a factual place in certain aspects.

If someone really had to explain that to you, you have my condolences.

(am i starting to sound like tiki? :frowning: edit: nah, he’s way worse)

There is a large train stationy thing behind you in the photo, and to the left there are also some more buildings, to the right there are some large concrete structures and warehouse looking buildings also :slight_smile:

If people find this lacking, i am up to suggestions as how to improve it, but not to be rude though I think there are enough buildings lol

I’m sorry, what are we talking about?

That enormous period of 20 seconds that you see the surface during the tram ride at the beginning.

People are complaining that there aren’t enough surface buildings on an undergrounds base.

It’s good as is :slight_smile:

I agree, it looks amazing as is. Maybe add a cactus here and there and some personel walking around and then it’s done. I can’t wait for the next media update!!!

Any idea why The Shift died out? What about both teams merging together or something?

I’d imagine if they merged we’d know.
If I had to guess the other guy just dropped out when Insecurity popped up. But that’s just wild speculation. He could at least tell us what’s up. :frowning:

Well, I can imagine it to be better when the building to the right is 2 floor taller and there are 2 secruity jeep parked with 2 security guard having a conversation

Anyway, nvm what i said, I rewatched the Shift’s intro and found that yours is better, but maybe you cn make an updated tram intro so that I can see the difference.
