I have a lot of fond memories playing the opening areas of this game over and over. This was one of those games along with OG Call of Duty where you could show your friends and dunk on the current console generation because they couldn't run something like this.

Wish we would get more of these SP exotic sandbox games like Far Cry 1 and Crysis 1. Its annoying indies dont want to fill these voids in the market which AAA dont bother with anymore. For example we finally got an indie FEAR in Trepang, and its pretty good. Its annoying how indie devs insist with those boomer shooter super pixelated.
Like Jarek ze dragon said, I cant wait till we are passed that period and we get to HL2 and FEAR clones.

Imagine playing this right after half-life. The idea you can experience a very wide open level is quite unlike anything before. They just need to fix that omniscient AI at the highest difficulty to make this great.

Indies choose boomer shooters because they are much easier to develop. All there is to it.

I hope modders can use this to make the game work better on modern systems. It would also be amazing if they could integrate RTX Remix to the game. It would make it look gorgeous with all the foliage casting proper shadows.

Why imagine when I can remember? I didn't get to play HL until 2001, and then FC shortly thereafter. FC was incredible, but then, all horizons were expanding so fast back in that short period. Your comment about the ai is spot on, though. I could never get very far in this game due to time constraints and the ai. But then Half Life 2 and Doom 3 came out and I forgot all about FC.
Loved FC1 as a teen. What a leap forward at the time.
Played it recently for nostalgia sake. It aged BADLY. player movement is cumbersome, AI is glitchy, the writing is absolutely hilarious. But I did have a Great trip down memory lane.
Curious what this source code leak will bring for the mod and preservation.

And because indie developers care that the games are well designed in terms of mechanics, gameplay and level design, which is not possible in sandbox shooters.

I remember playing the demo and then buying the game, rarely did a game do that back in the day. For me a defining moment in gaming felt so open and free.

This is the one where you fight the mutants right?

I'm somewhat excited for this. Loved this game and have played it over and over since release. Would love true coop for this to play with friends.

Dunno why is everyone always complaining about the difficulty in this game. The AI is absolutely brain-dead and I literally never had any trouble fighting mutants. I even played through that game again just a couple of months ago.

I loved playing this game back in the day. Although the part with the mutants was worse than the first half with the humans.
I re-played it last year, just for the nostalgia factor. Some f it's game mechanics are a bit dated, but it's still fun to play.
Maybe with the source code, some modders can make some sort of remake.

Maybe UBISOFT can download it and take a look how they used to make good games we liked ?
