Okay, hello everyone. This will be a playthrough of Half-Uplink. So Valve just updated Half-Life.
They did a massive update. They were feeling kinda nostalgic for the 25th anniversary of the game. And they bring back this beautiful main menu.
This is... inspired by the old Half-Life manual contained in the CD version of the game and it looks glorious it looks amazing simply looks amazing I wish there was the like the animations that we used to have but I mean this is fine already so play this some hard and uplink is basically a demo of the game that you used to find this on Video game magazines back in the time some of those used they used to contain like special demo CDs of certain games and Half-Life were one of them they finally included uplink in the As like a special thing in the main game here, which I think it's pretty cool. So Let's play Half-Life uplink I never played it, this will be my first time.
Let's check this out. I only watched speedruns of it. They fixed the HUD size and everything.
So it properly scales to your resolution. This is 48 hours after the... The most materials event apparently Okay, here we are Open up the reactor complex so we can get down to safety I'm sorry, but those doors will not open until we send the all-clear so send it already The Eric wreck of my transmitter the cables are severed We'd have to aim it by hand and I'm getting high radiation levels in the transmitter dome. Nobody but a fool would go in there What about this guy? Yes, you could survive in that suit of yours very well I will lower security on the satellite access elevator and you can go up into the dome.
I'll try to help you over the intercom So yeah, they bring back the old VO Bob Old VO Bob in which I think it's pretty cool. I really like it Hangar 16 I'll stay here and guard this area. All right So I've only watched speedruns of this, so it's basically almost a blind playthrough, like I know the ending and the starting area, but I barely remember anything, to be honest. So I think this will be pretty interesting. I don't think you can object boost anymore, so they fixed a lot of stuff.
Oh, so many cockroaches. And there it is, the glorious crowbar I know how to kill you I have a Barney over here. Hello.
Yeah. I also have one more. Oh, a shotgun?
Can you open this for me? No? I think we can.
I'm so happy Valve did this update, like... They even did a special website for it and everything. This HUD size is like so beautiful to see. This is like my dream come true Barney yeah, sorry about that.
I just had to do it I'm wondering if I messed up, like I'm wondering if Barney could like open up something for me or if I lost a scripted event. I play my games very slowly on my first playthrough so... Oh my god! Oh, there we go.
Easy. I can remember the areas but like I don't exactly know what to do so Okay, I see Grab some health I don't need that box Damn Let's use this I need grenades Can I break this? Nope There we go Crawl through this.
Anyone left? Okay, hold up. I'm gonna try doing this without dying.
We've been through the first playthrough Where is he? I forgot how scary this game is to play for the first time. I had a friend that I was watching him play Half-Life 1 for the first time and he used to say like Oh this game has so many jump scares and I was like what are you talking about? But now I understand. I can probably feel what he was feeling like Yeah, it's kinda It kinda spooks you There we go.
There's one more left. Where is he? Still... Corner strats? Kinda.
There we go. Kinda worked. Nice. I'm gonna try to get him. Any health for me?
Okay, got some health for you Lots of health I don't wanna quick save my game Cause that's cheating There's a lot of slaves over here Oh Loading screen Could've just done that. Okay. Sorry if my voice sounds a little funky or something, but I just woke up, it's 6 in the morning right now. And I thought, let's, let's, why not play some Half-Life, you know? I really like the lighting in this, I'm not sure if they updated the lighting, but it does feel really good.
What is that doing exactly? Turning on that light. Okay.
Pentagon and CIA Oh no, I remembered this, I have to like... coming off the... Is it...
opposite? I think it's the opposite side. Here we go.
Oh, oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Hang on. Wish I had some grenades Oh, okay Vital signs are critical I really wanna try this out without dying.
There we go. I'm trying my best here Oh Uh Okay I think I'm gonna die Ah, god damn it Okay First death It's better if I kill them down here. Oh really? I wasn't even that close.
Let me try something. Did I just lock myself in here? We can find some other way up there?
Or... If I turn this... Okay... Oh, okay.
Let's see... Some pretty interesting level design. It's kind of different from the original Half-Life. And this...
This should be a demo... Of the game. Hello there. Okay, you felt that? There was like two different dialogues at the same time there.
That was pretty weird. Oh. That's death.
This is some spooky shit here. I feel like they like bass boosted the pistol sounds. This feels more punchy So I'm gonna be talking I'm gonna be playing doing a like a full playthrough of the original game again This update and I'm gonna be talking more about it in that video instead of this one. I think it's more appropriate Okay, so we're backtracking. Hello.
Backtrack here. Oh I can't open this up Oh Did I miss this? I think I missed this the other time, the first time around here.
Grab some sodas. Nice. Oh.
Tap my mouse on the keyboard. Got one! Hey, I'm back. Yes.
Of course I'm alive. No. But it yes it can get it can get worse trust me What is up for me?
by myself Oh Okay, they are not killable Oh, he's not dead. Grab some HP. Valve. That's a gargantuan.
Oh That's gmail No! Can't do anything. Current evaluation uplink completed require further data Okay, and that was half-life uplink That was pretty nice.
It's very different from the... The level design is pretty different from the original game. Like it's way darker. It's like...
I felt it was more spooky than the first game actually. I'm not sure if it's because it's my first time playing, but it really felt like that to me. It's more horror oriented, you know? But yeah, I don't have anything else to say I think. It was pretty nice, I'm kinda sleepy because I...
As I said before, I just woke up at 6 in the morning. So yeah, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you next time. Thanks for watching.
