Now, with all the advances in gaming technology the game has made, there are certain aspects of the game that haven’t aged all that well. Also, the AI implications in the game were considered incredible for 1990s standards, with great dialog to boot. True, games like Banjo-Kazooie, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Metal Gear Solid were also pushing the limits of the new 3D technology available, but Half-Life had taken the technology and seemingly mastered it. Now, for a game made in 1998, it looks incredible.
Valve utilized the GoldSrc engine to create the game, which was used for the game’s AI and gameplay. Now, while franchises like Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein are considered the original FPS games, Half-Life was the first to have a legitimate story and an enjoyable one at that. Throughout the game, we are able to acquire an expansive arsenal of weapons to defend ourselves with, and along the way, discover what dark secrets Black Mesa had hidden away that led to its downfall. As the titular character, Freeman now has one goal: escape Black Mesa. After an incident occurs, extra-dimensional beings begin to cause chaos throughout the facility.
The game follows the story of Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist at the Black Mesa Research Facility.
But with the game now being 23 years old, just how well has the game aged since its release?ĭeveloped and published by Valve, Half-Life was the first game to ever be released by the developer. Half-Life is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time, changing how first-person shooters should be made by implementing stories, advancing AI in games, and is considered by many in the gaming community to be a masterpiece.
