Half Life 2 is being " re-mastered "

[venomx]

Anyone else interested ?
It was my favourite game as a teen, glad to see it being revamped

Rather they do a new one, sick of remasters is just lazy.

Any good articles on this?

I didn't play it till a year or two ago. Thought it was over rated, good, but over rated. A tweaked up, polished remaster i will be defo interested in.

I only played it through once when it came out so yeah might be worth another go. How much?

 

[agnes]

Another remaster? Jesus wept, just come out with the next in line or something original

It's being done by the people who made the HL2 Update mod. They don't seem particularly lazy at all.

Same. "Alyx" sounded good but why it was VR only I don't know

Black Mesa turned out great and that wasn’t by valve.

People really need to play HL Alyx.

That's all I'm going to say.

I would but it's the cost of VR that's put me off.

Pick up a £200 Rift S off the MM, resell for a few pesos less. Totally worth the temporary outlay, it's an amazing gaming experience that anyone who is a fan of the HL universe should experience.

There was cinematic mod for hl2 which was decent

Bit of info (not much...) on this new one here

Dunno if I could play it again mind. Black Mesa was great but I have played through HL2 so many times.

The gaming industry is now exactly like Hollywood. No originality. Keep rehashing the same stuff.

Yes and most of it rubbish.

No. Other than prettier graphics how could they possibly improve on it? I've replayed it so many times theres nothing new to either do or see I can recall every scene in my sleep.

Nothing more than a blatant cash grab. Come up with something new FFS.

If, as it says in that article, this has 'Valve's blessing' then it should be offered as a free update for all HL2 owners rather than trying to grab cash from people who already own the game.

Why? Don't buy it if you don't want it. Someone does still put work into it.

I don't like buying used hardware as I'm a snob.

Not keen on remasters as such...would also need to upgrade my system to play modern games...

I don't think this will be for me. While I enjoyed it at the time of release as it was something fresh and the graphics engine and mechanics were great, gaming has came a long way since then.
Knowing there's a cliff hanger ending which is likely to never be resolved I'm just not interested.
