Black Mesa (named after the research base from the game) was first released as a fan-made mod in 2012, before Valve gave it their blessing as a commercial release. Valve’s lackadaisical attitude towards their franchises has always been a puzzle, although given what the Half-Life franchise probably would’ve turned into in the hands of a different publisher it’s arguable that their approach is still best. It was a similar story for Half-Life 2 in 2004, which turned up, in much reduced form, on Xbox a year later and Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 two years after that. The level of immersion and environmental interactivity was years ahead of anything else at the time and its influence can still be clearly felt today.īut while there was a PlayStation 2 version three years later (adapted from a canned Dreamcast port) it wasn’t particularly successful and most console gamers only know of the game indirectly, through its name and its impact on the industry. First released in late 1998, it not only revolutionised the single-player first person shooter genre but had an enormous impact on every type of game. Half-Life may be one of the most influential video games ever made but to be honest, we’re not sure how many people have really played it. The fan-made remake of the classic Half-Life is finally complete, and the end result is a major improvement on the iconic original.
