Played through Half-Life 2 again with the excellent Beta Aesthetics mod, it surprised me at how different it felt, it felt much more like a 2004 game, ironically. Here’s some beta conscripts, I do prefer the Civil Protection but I kinda wish they were in the final game somehow.

I'll never understand how Valve managed to fuck up Chell's appearance so badly in the first Portal. It's unclear whether it was the crunch the small team were under to get Portal out the door; or simply just poor craftsmanship, but Chell's model is CRIMINALLY unfinished. Just looking at Chell side-by-side with her reference model, Alesia Glidewell (Who may I remind the audience is drop-dead gorgeous), makes that PAINFULLY clear.

The poor model quality is especially astounding considering Valve's previous work with Half-Life 2's characters, who were all captured from real-world reference models just like Chell. If we compare Alyx Vance and her reference model Jamil Higley, we see how bizarre Chell's appearance is.

And not to drag this on further, but the issue is only compounded in Portal 2, where Chell received a full makeover, bringing her model and texture quality up, while also helping her further resemble Alesia; while her Portal 1 model remained completely unchanged. And perhaps as the cherry on top, Valve has been known to backport newer models to earlier entries in their franchises before, as happened to Alyx Vance. SO WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE, VALVE???
