About the Race X

[Ikagura]

Are they the same from Xen but in another dimension? Because their blood has the same color.

Also why can't we see them in Half-Life 2?

They are not from Xen at all, they must be some Nihilant's friends.
We do not see them in Half-Life 2 because Valve does not take in mind Gearbox's games. It is just fine for me because that does not change storyline at all.

If you look at the portals you will see when a Race X alien teleportes next to you, its portal is purple while Xen aliens have a green colored portal.

Actually we don't know if the "Dimension X" (unnoficial name btw) is also a borderworld like Xen.
But this would be nice if we know more about it...

And this is disapointing because it would've added so much to the story outside the whole combine storyline...

I already know that Xen has a green background and the Dimension X had a purple BG...

Still there's floating island like in Xen, I wonder if that's just an overlaping dimension just next to Xen

Just like how our blood is similar that to animals. Same species, different origin.

Well considering how blood of every animals (especially mamals) excluding instects is red...

Anyway this would've also be nice to have every xen creatures in HL²

Maybe we can use the codes from Black Mesa and port it to HL2.

Or HL source! Sad that there isn't any houndeyes nor bullsquid in the game

HL Source's AI is fundamentally broken. It needs re-work if someone's gonna port that.

Yes HL source is kinda a lame port. But I talked about HL2 my bad.

It was pretty rushed imo.

As far as I recall, I don't think there's anything in the game saying that the areas you visit AREN'T Xen.

I dont think blood having the same color is a good evidence.

Maybe you're right, they didn't want to have to create new sprites for the blood splats.

The purple background indicate this is the dimension of the race X

Eh, speculations.
