I have heard of it a while back but i've never really been that interested as i've played all the Half-Life games already, i'm guessing all this is is just a graphical overhaul or do they change anything more significant?

It's not just a graphics overhaul. It's been completely remade from the ground up. Nothing from the original HL has been used in BMS, every model, texture, map, voice over, sound effect, everything has been remade.

Also they've apparently tweaked some of the levels so they flow better, have extra areas, etc.
 
Now... Do I get it and play up until the end of Lambda Core or wait for the full works in one?

Either way... bloody good effort. It does seem like time to give the full series a play through.


I wonder what the req. spec is..... I'd like to to the full series on the lounge PC @ 47" HD.
 
Seriously cannot wait for this now, GW2 should keep me entertained until the 14th anyway :)

Its not a complete overhaul, the original voice talent is still in the game.
 
Its hard to believe its finally coming out. I think its been in development even longer than Episode 3, right? :eek:

Heres hoping it can live up to all the build up :D
