SilverTM and a team of gamers are currently working on a fan remake of Half Life/Black Mesa in Unreal Engine 4. While the team does not aim to recreate the entire game, it will release a playable version of the game’s first chapter so that everyone can experience it.
In order to celebrate this announcement, SilverTM has released the first set of screenshots from this fan remake that you can view below. Furthermore, you can find a teaser video showing the game in action.
In the game’s first chapter, Gordon Freeman rides a tram to the Black Mesa facility. This will basically be a train simulator as the overall interactivity in this first chapter of the game is limited. And while there will be NPCs and characters throughout the level, players will not be able to shoot them.
Still, this sounds like a cool concept and we’ll be sure to keep you posted about its progress. Until then, enjoy the following screenshots!

They should add Gabe as final boss…
I agree…and the only way to kill him would be to interrogate and convince him to make ‘Half-Life 3’…as soon as he gives up and agrees, the game ends! 😛
Or force the fat b*stard to eat donuts until his belly explodes. Yeah, that would be a cool QTE. Press Q repeatedly until the prompt and then press E to make Gaben’s belly explode.
I love you Gaben but you bring the wrath upon yourself at times.
That’s would be hilarious,but it’s cool idea..
And you have dodge “Cease and Desist” attacks
“Half Life/Black Mesa” So which one is it thou? Black Mesa is very different from original Half-Life.
From the video…I’m not even sure it’s either! Looks more like yet another take on it. Which is cool thou.
So you’ll basically be able to ride a train, set off an alarm and overcook a meal? What the f*ck is the point of this?
Is it nostalgia or do i just prefer the old visual style?
Why on earth does it take up to or more than 5 hours to get images approved on this site?
To stop the wccftech fanbois and trolls posting trash.
yeah, HL in UE is sacrilegious.
Source > UE every day
Autism? ?
graphics dont make the game or engine, i prioritize movement higher than graphics. Yes UE can be very pretty, but its movement is just terrible.
That makes zero sense.
You can make movement work in whatever way you want, it’s not some hardcoded part of the engine.
At least a they are using a modern engine, source might as well be a defunct engine at this point valve are not supporting or upgrading it anymore.
They’re already transitioning to Source2, haven’t you heard?
Source 2 = source 1 with slight improvements. Unless you consider dota 2’s almost non existent enhancements impressive or a engine that’s first full fledged game will be a mobile card game. Valve doesn’t have a modern engine to work with anymore. Titanfall 2 has a more impressive engine then source 2.
Looks nice but I’m getting tired of these fan made remakes. Either they take an eternity to be made because of the pure scope and not enough volunteers, or they never see the light of day because of licensing issue’s. Black Mesa without Xen isn’t really finished either.
Looks fantastic. I bet it wont feel the same tho.
I dont know about that the lighting looks fantastic.
gameplay > graphics
and i mistyped “look” when i meant “like”
No one is arguing graphics are better then gameplay. But the lighting does look fantastic .
I dont know what that is supposed to mean. You like source engine, sure but have you played this adaptation ? I dont think it will feel the same but it can be decent.
It could be the train station at the start of the game for sure.
I just hope they respect the original mechanics , no health regen, no aim down sights , no sprint button (but have a walk button) , no casual sh*t and this will be awesome.
Neh, get a card game and that should suffice.
