Because this is Valve and this is how they feel the series should be treated, and I'm glad. I'd much rather have a title that can push things forward.
And I suppose nothing else does. HL3 is the most anticipated game there has ever been.
It sounds like a bullshit excuse if that is indeed the only way they will make the game. It is hard as hell to have something revolutionary these days. Gaming is no longer in its infancy. There are so many games from so many developers. Many people have tried different things. It is about evolution and iteration these days. To hold out on a story driven series just because they can't come up with another revolutionary game is silly.
Not with vr headsets it is not, frankly skyrim vr , fallout 4 vr is revolutionary, but these are just ported vr games.
halflife may be ported too, but halflife has one advantage compared to skyrim and fallout , there a good mixture of action and storytelling. Skyrim and fallout are rpg and in vr it can be abit annoying. It is really a lot less interesting in vr managing inventory, weapon and character setups,going to shops and so on.
Don't get me wrong, it's still amazing but you'd be suprised how many times you get into belethor shop and you're thinking, oh crap i have to go through this again. Same thing if you go to your house to store stuff, In vr I only pick up the bare necessities, I don't even bother with smithing or enchanting. In vr all these things become a chore quite fast.
The adventures are still amazing tho, so I have high hopes for this halflife game, I just hope they updated the graphics. I mean halflife 2 is a game from almost 3 gens ago and in vr those old graphics are a lot more disturbing.
