Proton Rally game based on Half Life engine

Advertisement

Here’s something amusing. A company called GameXtra has actually developed a modification for the Half Life engine called Proton Rally. For those who are in the gaming scene, you would know that the Half Life engine is very flexible. In fact, Proton Rally is likely based on the HL Rally mod.

It features Proton cars like the Waja, GEN2, and Satria Neo. You can buy new parts to soup up your car with the money you get from winning races. It’s never going to be as good as Gran Turismo though, as the Half Life engine was never meant to be used to develop racing games.

More screenshots and a video after the jump.

    The makers of the game seem to have secured some sponsorship. I noticed Toshiba and Maybank panels on the car.

    Yeah, give em some time and we will see some Protons in the next NFS.

    The quality and accuracy of the Satria Neos graphics reminds me of pre-1995 computer game (racing genre).

    Noticed that you said Half Life engine … not Half Life 2 … that was like 10 years ago guys … If it used the engine from like say Flatout 2 .. that would be something …. would be nice seeing it busted to pieces … :-)

    September 23, 2006 @ 8:18 pm

    Nice try, i can even see the twin towers in the background.

    Yet, this is way way way..behind. 5-10 years behind? Just look at the games launching with PS3.

  17. Dogster said,

    September 23, 2006 @ 9:38 pm

    Opps, A very sad Game!

  18. Ralliace said,

    September 23, 2006 @ 9:46 pm

    Sad looking rally game ever! Is that the best we Malaysian can do?

    By the way, anyone notice the conflicting sponsorship between Petronas and Mobil in the game? The game had Petronas signages at the start and Mobil at the end of the stage. Hahaha….

    Good try, a lot of space of improvement, take need for speed underground2 as benchmark, can modify all the cars, kuala lumpur view and plus all local manufacturing car, perodua, inokom, naza and not forget r3 team and the dyno test.We support u.

    you know Paul when you mentioned the Half Life engine I was thinking of Half Life 2… this game looks very ‘kuno’.

    The quality as same as the NEED FOR SPEED (1993)

  23. mitlanevo said,

    September 23, 2006 @ 11:55 pm

    Need some improvement on graphics….
    For those Need For Speed fans out there, just wait for the upcoming Need For Speed Carbon (Playstation, XBox and PC)

  24. jonjwlee said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 12:38 am

    The Saga is probably the most realistic of the cars…

    Notice that they used a Subaru Impreza interior for the Satria Neo.

  31. whodz said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 3:38 pm

    Is this game for sale? Why is this game developed,anyway? If it is to attract people to proton, it will be vice versa. Come on, Malaysian game developers are way better than that..This is like their mini project or something, or they are just play around with ancient engine like HL and then start develop this game for 1-2 months, i guess.

  32. andyyap said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 3:59 pm

    Proton , let me tell you , my Neo is a very very good car , you really did a good job . but when i can get the Satria Neo bodykit ?

  33. engtaokia said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 4:33 pm

    graphic is terrible. need more improvement. dont bash them ok? give them some times.

  34. drM said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 5:30 pm

    wey…i thought they said Agusta is not bussiness-syhcronous with Proton. and I am going to say the same here. GAMES and Proton is not quite synchronised. Better sell the game maker for 1 ringgit! aahahahahahha….

    ps- i’m buying the game maker.. 1 ringgit….come on Proton!

  35. neurra said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 6:34 pm

    hmm.. if they can implement using the half-life source engine.. huhu.. that’d result in much better geometries..

  36. Jiun 88 said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 9:41 pm

    haha…….haha…….
    Such graphics… =P
    Even PS 1 games can easily beat it.
    But whut the heck, looks like simple, mindless, fun to me. Perhaps it’s good for a break, after playing difficult games for a while.

    =P

    September 24, 2006 @ 10:41 pm

    graphics aside, do these cars really handle like d real ones? I think dat’s d most important thing for games such as this.

  38. aesthari said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 11:11 pm

    LOL, this game even features the Saga! I wonder if it features all Proton models or just the ones shown in the video. I noticed the cars in the game has good handling and behave like RWDs, much unlike their real life counterparts.

  39. jzkzlz said,

    September 24, 2006 @ 11:15 pm

    The graphics remember me of playing Need For Speed, using Pentium 100Mhz with Onboard 2MB Graphic Memory.. Win95….

  40. giyzmo said,

    September 25, 2006 @ 4:08 am

    Kudos to the team behind the development of this game, well i must admit the graphics are way behind if compared to the other racing games we have seen nowadays, i guess it all goes back to the buget of the project…good graphics, good budget…sad graphics, sad buget…gotta admit we can’t expect the designers of this game to deliver top notch graphics on a very low budget, it’s like saying you want to pay a hundred ringgit for a bugatti veyron!!! again good effort to the developing team, hopefully the sponsors of this game would take note and take game development seriously as it reflects on their products as well….

  41. shaif said,

    September 25, 2006 @ 8:07 am

    Perhaps our local game developer could seek some sponsorship from Proton or Petronas and forms some colloboration with game developer in Europe which have the technology and expertise.
    A good attempt and it can boost brand image just the same as other games such as V-Rally, Sega Rally and Colin Mcrae which intoduce the brand name of Impreza, Evo, Skoda and others.

  42. lowprofile said,

    September 25, 2006 @ 9:21 am

    Interior shot is of an Impreza. Anyone noticed this?

  43. mycar_stolen said,

    September 25, 2006 @ 9:51 am

    is this game also feature “open door when talking to the rally crew”…err you know power window failure.

    this crap game is really at proton quality…

    p/s in real world Proton cant compete in Rally(unless one make race)…

  44. Whopper said,

    September 25, 2006 @ 12:00 pm

    Hmm…I have to admit that the graphics of the game aren’t that great but with more time and more money, I am sure that it would be a great racing simulation game.

    I was suprised that even the evergreen Proton Saga was included in the game as well. But how come they didn’t include the Wira, Satria GTi and the Savvy ?

    When is the release of this game ? I am eagerly waiting for it.

    September 26, 2006 @ 3:10 pm

    cool concept… hey, giv them a break… it’s half-life engine… think CounterStrike on wheels… hehe

    btw, the interior of all the cars are from Impreza?

  50. Mayonaise said,

    September 26, 2006 @ 5:58 pm

    Haha, did you guys notice that the cockpit view shows the dashboard of a Subaru Impreza?
