Been playing and enjoying the great port of portal on the switch (Portal Companion Collection) and loving every minute of it. The game is silky smooth and looks great on handheld. That being said it got me thinking about Half Life, next year is the 25th anniversary of the original, released November 19, 1998. Has anyone heard anything about any remasters, collections or re-releases?
Portal plays so good on the switch, why not re-release a full collection or remaster? Why no orange box upgrade for modern times? It would make a lot of money and make so many fans ever greatful. I'd love to see a half life resurgance, remasters of the orange bi, for the 25th anniversary, a big half life celebration and (I can dream), hinting of a half life 3.
It really irks me as valve is flush with cash and employees, but they aren't doing anything really outside of steam and I presume making dumb hats that no one cares about. Why is Gaben so against Gordon freeman? I know we got the alyx side project vr game, but they old games that deserve to be played by new gamers, and old timers who want to revisit lost friends.
I get it, we won't be getting half life 3, in my lifetime, probably(big middle finger to Newell on that one), but why not re-release or remaster the old games? I guess now it won't ever happen as they will just say to buy steam deck, but if that was the case we wouldn't of gotten the portal remake.
What are your opinons on the state of Half Life 1/2, or the portal remaster. Will gamers ever get some Freeman love or is the series and everything about it pushed aside for hats and multiplayer forever? Will Black Mesa come to consoles? Yeah thses games are on my steam collection but double dipping on switch, ps5/xsx, would be a no brainer.
