Half-Life Fan Remake DLC Gets New Screenshots
When people think of classic FPS games from the 90s, they often think of either Doom or Half-Life. While the former helped set the stage for the genre, the latter kicked things up a notch, and although the 2004 sequel is considered one of the best first person shooters ever made, Valve's original release played just as pivotal a role in the industry. So vital was it, that a fan remake called Black Mesa was released, and now some screenshots from the work-in-progress DLC have been unleashed.
Recently, some images and teaser footage for Blue Shift have been unveiled. The screenshots show the environments from the Half-Life expansion, while the short video aims to demonstrate some of the game's atmospheric sounds. Currently, episodes one, two, and three are available to download, with these latest screenshots and video representing the next episode. There's no release date for the fourth installment just yet, but it's apparently 70% ready and due this summer.
Half-Life Mod Puts Players in the Shoes of a Black Mesa Scientist
Black Mesa's new campaign screenshots were shown off last December. Referred to as Operation: Black Mesa, this new DLC aims to bring remakes of both theOpposing Force and Blue Shift expansions that were originally released in 1999 and 2001, respectively. These new campaigns essentially told the story of the disaster at Black Mesa from different perspectives, with the former placing the player in the role of one of the marines, while the latter had them running around the facility as a security guard.
The fan remake of the original Half-Life was released in 2012 as a free mod before it became a fully endorsed project, with an early access version going live in 2015 and the final version releasing in 2020.
