gamer.tv Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I do appreciate that Valve have just ignored this generation of consoles, but either a remastered release of the Orange Box, or an updated version with a few additions, seems like it would be a great fit for home consoles - especially as they have already completed all the work so they work using a controller. Breaking it down even more, how Team Fortress 2 wasn't given a token F2P release, a Portal collection (including Bridge) never came to consoles, Left 4 Dead has been...left, on the 360 and Half Life (even a port of Black Mesa), the expansions, HL2 (and Episodes 1 & 2) not coming feels like such a missed opportunity.

TwinIon Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Having recently played through Black Mesa, Half-Life 2, both episodes, and the Portal 2 co-op, I don't think a re-release without any new assets would be too worthwhile. Black Mesa looks pretty good, especially at the end, but that's because it does have lots of new assets. Half Life 2 looks fine in 4K, but it could really use some slight upgrades. There's a lot of blocky models and muddled textures, though the gameplay holds up pretty well. Portal, thanks to it's very clean art style, holds up very well. The nature of the game means I didn't really notice the aging graphics much at all. All that said, I do think some very minimal upgrades could make a new Orange Box worthwhile. Maybe some new lighting and effects, some upgraded textures, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I would love an update to the L4D series. A new game would be ideal, but I would also accept a touched-up L4D2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 You just sad they're still updating it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Also, they probably won't waste their money porting this game when you can play them on the potatoest of potato PCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddieMercury Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Left 4 Dead is one of my all-time favorite games, so I would welcome any sort of upgrade. I remember being so into Valve's games at that time. Left 4 Dead and Portal (especially 2) are so genius that it always makes me sad thinking about current day Valve.

heydude93 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I miss playing these so much. Isn't HL2 in shambles on Steam of all platforms? There were some threads about glitches and controller support issues in the steam forums a while back. Hopefully we get a new remaster collection, one with Portal 2. A release scheduled soon before the sequel to the recent VR game might be the best chance of it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
