The enduring “Half-Life” has added a bit of mystery.
As the signature game of V Agency, “Half-Life 2”, released in 2004, has turned many contents into classics in the history of the game, and it still has its own influence until now.
For example “Holy Sword of Physics”
Recently, this game has added a slightly scary topic. It all started with a disturbing Reddit thread two weeks ago about “forensic photos” of a scalp-numbing death, one of which was burned beyond recognition. The corpse has attracted people’s attention because the face shape of the corpse is very similar to a model in “Half-Life 2”.
The model in the game, the photos are too tragic
In the game’s file, this somewhat horrifying model is named “corpse01.mdl”, and it often appears as a corpse embellishing the scene in “Half-Life 2”.
In addition to the plot flow of the game, you can also find it in another game “Gary’s Mod”.
After people’s comparison, there are many similarities in facial details between the corpse on the photo and the model, and people’s curiosity was soon aroused: Where did this corpse come from? Although the initial statements were mostly concentrated in forensic books, there was no way to find out the specific information. Some people even rumored that this person was murdered by a gangster, and the gangster “disfigured” the victim in order to cover up the identity of the victim.
This somewhat dire speculation also reminds people of the early leaks of Half-Life 2. During the development of “Half-Life 2”, the game’s plot setting has undergone significant changes. For example, in the previous conception stage, the game had a more depressing atmosphere and more “dystopian” elements, but in In the official version, these contents have been greatly revised.
This was originally a normal process of game development iteration, but unfortunately in 2003, “Half-Life 2” had a serious content leakage accident. Due to factors such as age, many contents were almost misrepresented on the Internet, such as the The change in the plot has become a remedy that Valve has no choice but to make because of the leak.
This more mysterious-sounding story has led some to believe that the horrifying model, which deliberately uses real photos, comes from an earlier version that was abandoned and is one of the legacy of that “dark version”.
In fact, the horror elements in reality are used to provide inspiration for game design. Such arguments have also occurred in many horror games. For example, the producers of “Left 4 Dead 2” once said that they would collect monsters in reality Photos of sick or seriously injured people to use as some design references. But in the end, for various reasons, this plan was abandoned.
And another classic horror game “Dead Space”, there have been rumors that the design of the monsters in the game refers to the tragedy of the victims of car accidents in reality.
The shape of “Necromorph” is really scary
Regarding the truth about this corpse model, someone has already contacted V Agency about this matter, but has not yet received a reply. But after this weird story spread, many netizens said that they could no longer look at the model directly. The analysis of the details of the model’s face also made people believe more and more that this model, which has been seen for nearly two decades, There really was a face of the dead.
Faced with such a situation, some players made a decisive choice-directly replace the face of the model to solve the problem from the root cause.
