the instant this news broke I started replaying the SP campaign. It's still fucking incredible.
Guh HUH??? Whatever Half Life brought to the table has been done many times and better over the past 5 years.
What did people ever see in this game to declare it the best thing ever? I bought it a month after it came out and got bored with it around the ninth pool of toxic waste I had to jump over using floating crate stepping stones so I could reach a switch which OPENED A DOOR!
The entire game experience was pretty much
1. Short, scripted event that was sort of neat since no one had done it before.
2. Kill headcrabs
3. 30 minutes of tedious jumping puzzles to reach a switch
4. Repeat
I'd call Half Life's single player "the cool first hour of System Shock 2 compressed into five minutes". Right after the accident it was "OMG OMG OMG run run run everything's exploding HOLY SHIT FUCKING MUTANT SCIENTISTS AHHHHh!", then boring crap involving restoring power to and fixing my busted ass spaceship research facility. "Interactive NPC's! Fight alongside AI security guards!". Yeah, I think in 3 hours I got to team up with one guard for all of one minute until I ran into a jumping puzzle and had to leave him behind. And let's be honest, headcrabs were just glorified spiders.
Wait a second,...advanced facial animation technology?
