This is a standalone game sanctioned by Valve apparently? Has developer commentary's etc, although I won't listen to em

Same here, always fancied another playthrough of this game. Wander if Titan X will be up to the task.

Dah. If I hadn't played through HL2/EP1/EP2 18 months ago on Linux I'd be all over this, alas I've had my 5 yearly play through!

It might just manage

Thanks for flagging that up. I'd seen a post on here mentioning a HL2 mod that greatly improved the graphics and was going to download it to see what it's like on Eyefinity on my new 290. However that mod looks like it does the same thing (in fact it may be same mod) and the fact that it's implemented via Steam hopefully means it'll be simpler to install.

Huh, guess I'll have to install this when I get the chance and have another playthrough

Etheco · 26 Mar 2015 at 13:31

Awesome, Look forward to this

modo77 · 26 Mar 2015 at 14:00

Not played it in ages, seems a good time to revisit

Nexus18 · 26 Mar 2015 at 14:02

Looks rather meh to me :/

Cinematic mode looks FAR better.

redline · 26 Mar 2015 at 14:27

Thanks, this looks quite good, so I'll give it a try. I've just started a playthrough having just reached the end of Water Hazard, so hopefully I will be able to carry on with the mod in place and not have to start over, like Maldo/Crysis2... I really don't want to do the water section again, as it my least favourite part of the game.

Hoped it was a mistyped 3.

Alas, it was not.

Not really a massive improvement, but a nice one at least. Fog, water and lighting are the only big differences.
