"Heheheh how does it feel to be a fan of a game version that didn't even come out?"

"Euphoric."

As a huge beta junkie this was absolutely fantastic. You really captured the beta aesthetic.

[evacorrell]

You gotta wonder how the episodes would've been if they kept hl2 like this

[residentevil.nerd]

I love this one I love how you portray the Beta areas and that this fits the Dark and Gritty dystopian world

[degreelessnesson]

this montage is absolutely perfect and flawless, everything about it including perfectly chosen music, i played it like 50 times already lol

[Sim_]

I love how the beta maps are so low poly it makes the atmosphere mutch more creepy and dark for some reason and i love it and i wish the remakes dont ruin that effect with good graphics

[FiskenIsFishy]

While I'm not the hugest fan of the beta I still like it's aesthetics and wish it could've been used for a seperate IP or something

Incredible how much the beta feels like a product of the late 90s/early 2000s, like it belongs to that specific period in time, pretty evident by looking at Alyx design in contrast to the environment she's in at 2:00

Pretty difficult to pull this aesthetic off successfully nowadays. Honestly I'd prefer this style over a Hipster aesthetic.

The day Dark Interval and Raising the Bar: Redux get released completely, that's the day I could die in peace.
Also, this is absolutely beautiful, awesome job.

3:14 from this point on this stands one of the best hl2 beta videos ever, just the music and the conscripts having a battle is just so top tier.

[HawkeAssault]

Makes me feel very nostalgic for something that never was.
Love it.

1. Make Beta of game.
2. Scrap 60% of features.
3. Still make one of the best game in history.

As soon as I pressed play after reading the title, I knew exactly what it was going to be. Yeah, this song (and mashup) fits *really* well with the Beta. Thanks for making this.

[Churrb]

Very cool, I always wonder what we would have today if they stuck to the beta

[ryukomat]

I really want some group of game devs just put their time on it and just release a whole game based on all of the HL2 Beta content out there. they can call it Project Parallel i guess but idk.
Great video btw.

[KellyAesop]

I return to this video every few months

[Levrifon]

How is it possible to be nostalgic of a game I never played ??

This beta as other said have a very particular ambient + the music you chose is very good, an atmosphere of nostalgy on a dark world. Also I find that the citadel have a very particular effect like it's not a possible architecture / liminal / backroom effect with all those tiles

Thanks for this video clip very good !

This is a huge vibe. HL2 beta content has such an unreal and ominous atmosphere. Like you're wandering through a formless world that will never be finished, in some kind of limbo between being doomed and never having been real at all. It's hard to describe. Almost like you're an uninvited ghost just observing a space that will never serve its true purpose.

[Kyezoar]

Just the vibe of showcasing of what could have been is just so satisfying .
