Black Mesa: Blue Shift chapters 1-5 playthrough 4K max settings - an incredible fan made remake
5(English below) Black Mesa: Blue Shift es un remake en desarrollo de Half-Life: Blue Shift, la segunda expansión lanzada en 2001 del mítico juego de Valve, y que desarrolló Gearbox Software. Este remake corre a cargo de HECU Collective como mod gratuito de Black Mesa, desarrollado por Crowbar Collective, que fue remake de la campaña principal de Half-Life. Hace unos días lanzaron el 5 capítulo de este Blue Shift, por lo que actualmente están disponibles 5 de los 8 de los que consta la expansión.
Lo juego en resolución 4K y con todas las opciones gráficas al máximo (menos desenfoque de movimiento y aberración cromática, que desactivo porque no me gustan y de todas formas no quedan bien en los vídeos). Esto incluye las opciones que el juego no recomienda poner al máximo. Jugando con una RTX 4090. Personalmente no había jugando a lo que se había estado lanzando hasta ahora, así que este playthrough es un gameplay jugándolo por primera vez.
Me ha parecido un remake realmente espectacular, aunque lo de remake se queda corto, es prácticamente una reimaginación, que mejora enormemente la expanción original, la cual en mi opinión estaba bien, pero no dejaba de ser más de lo mismo sin demasiado que aportar salvo unas pocas horas más de Half-Life (lo cual estaba genial, desde luego).
Se notaba que aquella expansión nació como un extra para la cancelada versión de Half-Life para Dreamcast, pues duraba solo unas 3 horas. Este remake, sin embargo, ya lo podéis ver, aun no está terminado pero ya da para unas 8 horas de juego, por lo que está muy ampliada. No hay más que ver el 5º capítulo, Focal Point, si la memoria no me falla apenas duraba una media hora, aquí dura casi tanto como lo que duraba la expansión original entera.
En definitiva, un remake espectacular y totalmente recomendable que todo fan de Half-Life debe jugar. Personalmente me lo he pasado genial jugándolo, y he quedado realmente impresionado en muchas ocasiones. ¡Gran trabajo HECU Collective!

Black Mesa: Blue Shift is a remake in development of Half-Life: Blue Shift, the second expansion released in 2001 of Valve's legendary game, and developed by Gearbox Software. This remake is in charge of HECU Collective as a free mod of Black Mesa, developed by Crowbar Collective, which was the remake of Half-Life's main campaign. A few days ago they released the 5th chapter, so currently 5 of the 8 chapters of the expansion are available.
I play it in 4K resolution and with all graphic options at maximum (except motion blur and chromatic aberration, which I disable because I don't like them and they don't look good in the videos anyway). This includes the options that the game does not recommend to set to maximum. Playing with a RTX 4090. Personally I had not played what had been released so far, so this playthrough is a gameplay playing it for the first time.
I found it a really spectacular remake, although remake is an understatement, it is practically a reimagining, which greatly improves the original expansion, which in my opinion was fine, but it was still more of the same without much to contribute except a few more hours of Half-Life (which was great, anyway).
It was quite evident that this expansion was born as an extra for the cancelled version of Half-Life for Dreamcast, because it lasted only about 3 hours. This remake, however, you can already see it, it is not finished yet but already gives about 8 hours of gameplay, so it is very expanded. Just look at the 5th chapter, Focal Point, if memory serves me correctly it lasted only half an hour, here it lasts almost as long as the entire original expansion.
In short, a spectacular remake and totally recommended that every Half-Life fan should play. Personally I had a great time playing it, and I have been really impressed many times. Great job, HECU Collective!
