This morning Half Life 2: Episode 2 updated along with most of the other games that were developed by Valve. The official reason for this update was to add Big Picture support to Valve's different games. But then why was Half Life 2's update nearly 300MB bigger than every other update? That's the question on everyone's mind. And things get even more complicated when you involve the cryptic video posted below.
Sometimes even promising titles never see the light of day. These are five of the most ambitious games that shouldn't have been canceled.
Kojima wouldn't have started his own studio if Silent Hills didn't get cancelled so even if it stung at first, I'm fine with it.
i remember being so excited for patriots for years, only to have them release that siege trash. i hate how multiplayer games, pvp in particular, have ruined so many potentially good games.
Zack Zwiezen writes, "It seems like just yesterday when Valve announced a trilogy of expansions for their super-popular PC game, 2004's Half-Life 2. But it’s actually been 15 years since Episode 3 was announced. And while Valve has since released a new Half-Life game, it wasn’t the one the developer announced back in 2006."
Still hurts a little that we didn’t get Ep3… and the “leaked” plans for it sounded like a great finale to the HL2 story arc.
Whatever they release next i hope it's not catered to consoles first. Back 4 Blood seems to be going that route by having automatic flashlights, but i have high hopes Valve won't water down any games as they are usually released on PC way earlier, like HL2 and HLA.
Man, I wish I played Half-Life 2 when it first came out so I could love it like the fans do.
I played it on Xbox 360 and I thought it was ok. I recognize it set a standard for a lot of things like physics in game and story-telling in an FPS, but I think by the time I played it the design had been improved upon by other games.
The Half-Life soundtrack (as well as Half-Life 2) is now available to play for free on a number of music streaming services.
oh half-life... will they rumors never cease?
What is that like binary code or something?
Can anybody read binary?
The binary reads "Our New World Order Begins" the news article explains a few of the going ons currently happening with this video and the update.
There really isn't any solid evidence to suggest that the video is Half-Life related so I refuse to get my hopes up again. I am very curious about the 300mb update though....
