HL1 vs HL2 shows a similar rate of progress

    didn't feel like it to me at the time, but I was glad they finally developed the technology to prevent Gordon's boots from being slippery as fuck. god hl1 platforming was abysmal.

    With the graphics specifically though, IMO half life 2 (2004) is more similar in terms of fidelity to Portal 2 (2011) than to Half Life 1 (1998). Which does make sense as Half Life 2 and Portal 2 were made in the same engine ofc.

    Graphically, I think the two Half Life are more akin to UT99 and UT2003, similar year of release, too. UT2004 didn't change graphics, but I remember that, if you set everything on the graphics to maximum, the announcer will exclaim "HOLY SHIT!"
