Just wondering something: anyone else have access to the “upgrade” but prefer the original more? I admit I know little about firearms, but I definitely preferred the MP5 skin to the new one (MP4 I think it was?). I also preferred the original shotgun, though apparently the HiDef one is more accurate in terms of looks.
I like HiDef more.
Original.
The HD models are cool, but… I don’t know. I just like the blocky models more.
I prefer the original weapons.
The Glock looks IMO better than the pistol in HD and even though the shotgun model looked better in HD, the animations in the original are just awesome. You can really feel the power of the secondary shoot in the original shotgun animations when Gordon looses his grip of the gun and the weapon flings up in the air.
Same thing is on the Mp5 vs M4. The M4 looks better but the sounds made me want my Mp5 back.
I don’t really remember how did the other weapons look in the HD version so I can’t really say about them.
definitely.
I prefer the HD shotgun’s look…for some reason I love that type of shotgun. Though as Akse said, the animation’s in the original shotgun were just unbeatable.
I dislike the M4.
NO! the black mesa team is NOT going to remake… oh wait…
Um, yeah. I like the High Def better actually. But I am easy to please so :s hrug: no matter.
Haha I almost thought the same thing, Catz. I don’t know, but to me, the HD weapons looked almost out of place. Black Mesa is a research facility, and on top of that, it was being destroyed, so the various weapons shouldn’t look like something out of a gun enthusiast’s wet dream.
I like the original models better as, in my eye, they’re more detailed. I also like the shotgun and the zombies.
I downloaded centered id-style versions of the HD shotgun, and I like the hi-def uranium-powered weapons.
Can we use the HD pack for Blue Shift to make BM look better?
The HD pack is okay, but gearbox made a few mistakes that ruined it for me:
- Beretta instead of Glock. Berreta’s only have 15 shots, AFAIK, and can’t fire underwater.
- M4. Mp5 is better. Period.
- Scientist hands. If you’re making them look more like hands, some finger animation should be seen as nessisary, otherwise it looks like crap.
- Walter’s face in the PS2 stuff. Looks gay.
- Poly count in general. User made models look much better.
- Animations. I prefered the orignal “Destroy the dammed thing before it grows any larger!” Death anim over gearboxes. Looks better, makes more sense (grab for morphine instead of slowly clutch chest.)
The HD shotgun was extremely big, and the pump-action sound was incredibly loud.
@ Dillxn
I can post from the Steam browser, can’t I?
I like the originals, mostly because of the glock and mp5. the only HD model I like better is the shotgun, but that’s just because I’m partial to Spas12s with the folded stock.
It’s like playing Doom with that 3d model pack which changes all the 2d graphics into 3d. It just isn’t the same!
I like nothing about the High Def Pack. It removes much of the original feeling of the game.
Purists be damned, I’m a fan of the high-def pack. I played through the first half of the game with regular models before switching over, and I have to say I like the improved models better.
:hmph:
