The long forgotten Half-Life franchise has been temporarily revived, this time as a pre-order bonus of all things for Final Fantasy XV, looking bound to infuriate both the legions of Half-Life fans who have not given up waiting for the next entry into the abandoned series and the Final Fantasy fans who would have preferred another dapper waistcoat variant.
Those who pre-order the upcoming PC version of Final Fantasy XV on Steam before May 1st will be granted the ability to wear Gordan Freeman’s HEV suit and glasses and also wield his crowbar (which can also be worn in the game’s upcoming multiplayer expansion):
Final Fantasy XV is available for PS4 and Xbox One now, the PC version is slated to arrive on March 6th.
Half Life is dead. The fact that The Freeman himself has become nothing more than DLC bait is proof of this. Almost as bad as Metal Gear’s transition from legit series to pachinko machines.
Almost, being the key word. I doubt anything can compare to Konami charging you $9.99 per Save Slot.
Don’t you fucking dare compare this to whatever the f♥♥k Konami did to Metal Gear. Totally not the same thing. f♥♥k Konami.
Konami has nothing to counter Lord Gabe and Steam sales.
A pointless DLC from a dead franchise that the only thing that is remembered now as “HL3 when?” talk about a waste.
I think Valve are afraid to make Half Life 3 because the Half Life series at the time was unrivalled. They knew if they created a half hearted sequel they would taint the franchise, so they did nothing.
So… if it’s a “dead franchise” why they do this in first time?
Because Valve doesn’t care. The same reason their s♥♥t was in that sonic kart racing game. If a game that’s releasing on Steam wants to use their crap as some kind of DLC, just ask and they’ll accept.
Steam prints money, and they’ve been “Work on Left 4 dead 3 or whatever you want” with their structure for a looooooong time.
money? maybe?
the closest to half life 3 we will ever get xD
Square is just out of original ideas at this point. They can’t milk XV forever and they know they can’t stall for FF7RM. Quick Squenix! To the DrakenNier!
I’d love to see Drakenguard 1,2, 3, and Nier remade for the PS4. Maybe Yoko will be able to actually use the success of Automata to get a good enough crew to make his previous titles better such as improving the story structures (cuz that’s a damn rubric’s cube to figure out even after playing the games), story telling, character building and voicing, and gameplay mechanics.
DG 1, DG 3 and Nier just needs a bit of makeup. f♥♥k DG 2 as it’s not even by Yoko Taro and no, a blunderbuss shot to the sky only to have us to find the bullets that scattered is part of the interest around Taro’s work. Not all you see is what it seems to be and that’s fine.
His adventure continued to brand new worlds ever since he escaped the borealis from crashing into the dysonshperes of the combine home world.
