Half Life 2 HD Remake?

[ThatNormalGameReviewer]

I've been think for a while that I should make a remake of Half Life 2 in the source 2 engine when it get released. It would include, Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode 1, and Half Life 2: Episode 2. There will be remastered voice acting and visuals to give it a very new feel. It will feature extra story missions to expand on the universe and a ton a extra content like new weapons, new locations, new enemies, and much more. But I don't know how to make a mod, so I need some help. Let me know if I should do this or not because I think it's a good idea.

But I'm only a teenager, so I can't do it on my own. Let me know if I should do this or not because I think it's a good idea.

Go for it. See you when you're 30.

I think they're fine as they are already.

Good. Find the texture artist, programmer, level designer, audio engineer, etc. and with you, the ideas guy, you might have something going.

The closest you can get is HL2: Enhancement Mod. It's using the Alien Swarm engine.

So not only do you want to remake/enhance the assets of a professional studio-made game that took over 4 years to make, but you want to add "tons" of new content as well?

Start making some prototype now, with Unity3D 4.x. It's very capable DX11-engine, geared towards component-based development, suitable for any team size. It's very user-friendly and surpasses current Source version in many areas (but still lacks in some too). It's a great point to start with and build upon. Don't wait for Source 2 to be released, start making something NOW. For example, port your favourite HL2 map/scene to it, and try to make it better. Find out how much time did it take you and see what could be done with that.

The thing is, when I was young I was fascinated with game development too - my dream game was Resident Evil 3 (for PlayStation), and I thought that once I obtain all the tools required, I'll be capable of making my own super-RE in a whim. 10 years later, I still haven't released any RE killer, but I've made tons of other games instead, mostly web-based flash games, and some of them had over 50 million views worldwide. Start small, dream big.
