No, for very much better and (as we'll see later on) a little worse, this is a direct continuation of that game we knew and loved all of 18 months ago. It won't break the habit of a lifetime by explaining its intricate plot in its first scene, nor will it magic up a new setting for the sake of it, or invent all manner of new power-weapons that the Combine must have forgotten about the first time around. It isn't a new game, nor is it an expansion in the traditional sense. Don't expect Episode One to be something it's not. The most recent entry in the franchise is Half-Life: Alyxa VR game that focuses on fan-favorite character Alyx Vance.First Things First. If you want to understand all the fuss around Half-Life 2, you'll be able to find the games on a range of platforms, including Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but it's easiest to find the game on PC via Steam. It's currently unknown what features the Remastered Collection will overhaul but improved textures, enhanced lighting and updated character models will likely make the list. While Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are both playable by today's standards, they have aged visually. Half-Life 2 is most notable for revolutionizing in-game physics, implementing a system that allowed objects to interact with one another in a realistic fashion. An immersive first-person shooter, the games cast the player as Gordon Freeman, a scientist in a dystopian world attempting to survive hostile aliens, killer zombies and a fascist state. The Half-Lifefranchise is widely regarded as one of the most iconic video game series of all time. Related: Did Half-Life Kill Retro FPS Games? Valve has previously shown that it is open to developers iterating on the Half-Life franchise, with the commercial release of Black Mesa, a fan-made mod of the first game in the series. Whether this project amounts to an update for the original series of games or a brand new release remains unknown. There's currently no release date for Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection, but McVickers does state that it will arrive "soon."

"I have been able to confirm this projects legitimacy, being made by the former Half-Life 2: Update team," reads the follow-up tweet. While the game was initially leaked via a listing in Steam Database, McVickers has since confirmed that it does exist.
