Half-Life two is beingness remastered past the group backside 2015's all-encompassing Half Life 2: Update mod (opens in new tab), in a project that will apparently put their previous work "to shame" and appears to have the approval of Valve itself. A SteamDB listing calls this new project the One-half-Life 2: Remastered Drove (opens in new tab) and includes the staff note that "this is a mod from Filip Victor, not Valve related" just in instance we were all getting a flake too excited.

That's being unfair, of course, because it's oft been left to the communities to apply some spit-and-polish to Valve's older titles, and it's not like nosotros haven't been here with One-half-Life before: Black Mesa (opens in new tab), a fan-fabricated basis-up remake of the original game, is excellent, took over a decade to reach its final grade, didn't involve Valve much at all, and now stands every bit definitely the best manner to experience that game.

Valve hasn't commented on this project yet, and of course a SteamDB listing does not necessarily interpret into a Steam production page downwards the line, but this will probably go the way of Blackness Mesa (all Valve asked in that case was that the give-and-take 'Source' exist removed from the title, to avoid confusion).

Half-Life ii: Update offers improvements such as plenty of bugfixes, better lighting and fog, new particle effects, HDR and a community commentary mode featuring well-known One-half-Life 2 Youtubers. When asked about whether he would extend the mod to Half-Life 2: Episode one and Episode 2 in a Steam forum thread back in March, Victor said the updates for the episodes would exist major—now it looks similar they'll be part of the Remastered Collection.

In that location'south no release date for Half-Life ii: Remastered Collection, with programmer Victor writing that: "The new version will put HL2: Update/Episodes to shame. But sry no release date tho." Going on the Half-Life 2 Update mod yous'd expect large things: and that mod itself shows the value of these community projects as, since its release, Valve has been quietly improving the 'official' One-half-Life 2 to a state where information technology's now better than ever. I've reached out to Victor to run across if he'll provide some more than details about just how ambitious this project is, and will update with any response.
