![]() ![]() The Half-Life series is so broad and diverse that it spans many releases, some official, some not. See below on my thoughts for deciding if you should play certain titles. There appears to be a lot of opinion and speculation generated from this question, so I am going to use the Wikipedia listing of the chronological Half-Life games, in order to give a rough overview of each game in the series. Don't assume that you MUST play Portal 1 and/or 2 because you played Half-Life. Portal has been mentioned but the game is not like Half-Life. Episode 3 never appeared and people have been waiting a generation for the next installment. There is also a cliff-hanger at the end of Episode 2. If you play Half-Life 2 then the episodes are worth going through as they immediately follow events from the main game. If Half-Life 1 never existed, Half-Life 2 would still be a great game and story. A different time, a different location, different enemies. The story in Half-Life 2 is so different. Will you miss anything not playing Half-Life 1? Not really. Not to say Half Life 2 isn't an old game. They were great games but are still old games. The difference between this mod and the Half-Life: Source release is that the graphics are being completely polished.ĭepending on your tolerance, or appreciation, for older games, it is feasible to completely skip Half Life 1, or at least the expansions. One of the stand out mods would be the Black Mesa project - whereby Half Life 1 is being remade into the Source engine, used to make Half Life 2. It takes part in the realms of Half Life 2, but from memory the location doesn't appear in the full game. ![]() It is possible to play this on the PC (as someone has managed to port it onto the PC). It takes place during the events of the first game. This is a coop game mode available on the Half-Life PS2 release. Someone has already mentioned " Half-Life Decay". Half-Life 2 Episode 2 - Continue as Gordon Freeman after the events of Half-Life 2 Episode 1.Half-Life 2 Episode 1 - Continue as Gordon Freeman after the events of Half-Life 2.Half-Life 2 - Years later you take control of Gordon Freeman in a new story.Half-Life: Blue-Shift - You play as a security guard during the events of the original game.Half-Life: Opposing Forces - You play as one of the marines during the events of the original game.Half-Life - You take control of Gordon Freeman in the Black Mesa facility.This is assuming you want to follow the Half Life story from start to finish. RE4 is one of the best horror games of all time, so we cannot wait for its release date - March 24th, 2023 when it comes out for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.As already pointed out, the most logical order is to play the games by their initial release dates. Between the newer first-person games, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and Resident Evil 8 Village, and the classic third-person Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake, Capcom has clearly been reaching for the moon with the RE Engine. Even though Resident Evil 4 Remake's announcement might have been spoiled by leaks, the first trailer got us plenty excited, and seeing uncut gameplay footage of it in action has us extremely excited. Is it noticeably scarier? Will it be darker than the original? Does it still have funny moments? Did they make any changes? Did the chainsaw guy get new abilities? The answer is yes, but there's so much more to talk about. After playing through the original Resident Evil 4 dozens of times on everything from GameCube to Meta Quest 2 VR, Brian Altano got to go hands-on with the first 45 minutes of Capcom's highly anticipated next-gen remake of this modern classic of survival-horror action. ![]()
