Half-Life Renaissance, anyone....??

[Sprafa]

Since HL:Source is confirmed not going to be a full revamp, apparently only the old HL with physics and HDR, I think someone should get dirty and remake totally (models, textures, etc. ) the original HL.


Is anyone working with that already, or thinking to? and is it a good idea?

I've heard rumours of something..

They should remake the expansions too,

Maybe if valve released the original .maps or .rmfs it would be a lot easier than trying to decompile or base off of memory. Unless of course you're looking for a loose rendition of the original HL, not too closely matched. In my opinion this would be a bit nicer, because it would have new content. Just keep the basic ideas of each chapter.

Spot on Dan. Small variations and additions would be nice

I changed my mind, I think its a brilliant super wonderful sexy idea and I think you should go right ahead and do it and to hell with the rest.

I was thinking something in the lines of that, with the maps a little changed maybe, on the places were the public agrees Valve was not in their best days...

and maybe bring some of the OP4 mechanic and weapons to the original and Blue Shift.


Fenric, what's up with you? What was your comment before editing? Why the self-censorship ?

I'm fine, everything is fine. I love the idea and I hope you guys make it happen, someone has to do it, might aswell be you fine gentlemen.
