How well does Half-Life 1 work on PS2? debating whether to get it on my shitbox laptop or my recovered PS2

and 4 the record, i only played The Orange Box
Thomas Perez
It's a fucking 1998 game. Just play it on whatever shitbox of a PC you have.
Evan Russell
Works very well, the PS2 port is surprisingly good and has an exclusive co-op mode that's canon I think. Of course, the PC version is the best one but it's a shitload of fun on PS2. Controls well.
Chase Turner
Why would you get it on PS2?
>controller
>no customization
>graphics are dumbed down because it's a console
>harder to find since not a lot of people played on PS2
>no mods
>no multiplayer
You get
>finicky co op mode that you can play on PC
>that vortigaant mode that did look interesting although I'm fairly sure theres a PC mod for that as well
Isaac Hill
it has better graphics than the pc version tho.
Henry Hughes
Get Black Mesa instead.
Ayden Parker
always play the original version of any old game you haven't played
/thread
William Foster
Play the Dreamcast version instead.
Bentley Walker
It plays just fine, it's a fairly decent port. Mind you I played it on PS2 before I did on PC so I could be biased, it's from ye olden days of Gearbox when they were good before Randy's sliminess infected the rest of the company.
Eli Long

PS2 version I think wasn't that bad, ran fine, had a co-op mode, I hear even had some fine changes to level design. Still, it should easily run on anything these days, it's not that demanding to run and it goes for dirt cheap on sale.
Luis Lopez
I have spoken.
Brayden Bell
Is that the hd pack?
Michael Kelly
No it doesn't. It's just the blue shift pack applied
Julian Miller
the original in software mode
Austin Peterson
it has even more advanced models than the HD pack.
Better facial expressions too.
Brayden Scott
Soul/Souless
Nathan Barnes
Basef
Chase Wright
dreamcast models are very soulful.
Colton Baker
>Better facial expressions too.
incorrect. processing power isn't there. additionally, the levels are fucked up due to memory constraints, so it in no way looks better
Isaiah Hernandez
Michael Reed
souless
Hudson Johnson
not better. it doesn't do the same lip syncing as pc version
Tyler Price
i'd say play on the ps2 version just for the novelty
Grayson James
retard
Jose Russell
I want to get it but I remember xen from the original which was by far the weakest part of the game, and I heard its the same in black mesa because it drags on forever
everything else looks kino tho and I havent played hl1 since like 2001 or something so I might bite the bullet
Colton Brown
>playing on a controller
Noah Reed
It works very well, it's a great port
The lock-on feature allows you to circle strafe enemies as if you were on M+KB
Ryder Davis
it's Half Life. Like it really matters.
Jack Hill
That's pre-release, the soldier models were changed
They don't have animated eyeballs anymore (I don't know why they decided to do that)
Andrew Mitchell
>vortigaant mode
Isn't that like Point of View mod?
John Brown
>ps2 version looks better
>HD texture is better too
you muh soul purists are retards
Jeremiah Cooper
I'm considering doing a Valve replay too, OP. I'm gonna play HL1 on Manjaro through to DOTA2.
Hunter Young
Except you play through the normal Half-Life campaign, yeah
You get damaged if you try to use the first aid stations; only way to get health back is to attack enemies and to claw their corpses lol
Cameron Ortiz
>purist
ultra hd models look like shit in the blocky brush based environments.
Oliver Davis
Xen lasts less than an hour in original Half-Life
Jose Baker
Its a good port but still a downgrade so don't play it unless its your only option. It's hard to believe your laptop cant run halflife unless its like from 1995 or something.
