PSR Digital posts regular updates on ModDB, and recently started work on Peer Review's second alpha. We're tantalizingly close to being able to just go all-in on our art passes and quality of life improvements," Lyons says. "I'm super excited to get to the point where we've got our gameplay all down. The developers say they're humbled by the level of support the community is sending their way, especially considering the rocky history of Decay remasters. Peer Review-a project made by four avid fans-is not aiming for the polish of a fully-fledged remaster with over a decade of development time. Whether the project manages to reach Black Mesa's size and quality doesn't seem to be the point for its modders. "We might get a bit of criticism from some people for not having graphical improvements that Crowbar Collective implemented, but given that we have a much smaller team and no engine license, there's really only so much we can do."
"I do still sometimes see people saying this is too much or not enough like Black Mesa depending on their views of that game, but you can't please everyone," Lyons says. "There's certainly some extra pressure knowing that we set ourselves up to be the attempt at it," Bryant says.Ĭrowbar Collective's Black Mesa is both a huge inspiration and a daunting quality standard for PSR. "We kind of pride ourselves on how often we saw something to the effect of 'Wow, finally a good Decay!'"Ĭracking the curse raises the stakes, though. We realised we successfully overcame the curse of the Decay remake project," he continues. "For me personally it was a very big point of pride. The reception was widely positive, senior developer Chris Bryant says. Peer Review debuted in December 2018 with a 10-minute gameplay showcase.
We thought it would be a controversial change, but we've come to agree it was a good one," Lam explains.
"The original only had an M4 as its automatic weapon we kept the M4 but rebalanced it so that it fills a different niche and added an MP5 to fill the role of the old M4. Changes are made to better suit co-op and fix plot holes or inconsistencies with Valve's Half-Life games.
The developers, who call their team PSR Digital, see Peer Review as more of a reimagining of Half-Life Decay than a remaster.
