Graphical Evolution of Half-Life (1998-2020)
45Evolution of all Half-Life games from 1998-2020!
Half-Life is a series of first-person shooter games developed and published by Valve. In most installments, players control Gordon Freeman, a physicist who battles an alien invasion. The games combine shooting combat, puzzles, and storytelling.
The original Half-Life, Valve's first product, was released in 1998 to critical and commercial success. Players control Gordon Freeman, a scientist who must survive an alien invasion. The innovative scripted sequences were influential on the FPS genre, and the game inspired numerous community-developed mods, including the multiplayer games Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat. Half-Life was followed by the expansions Opposing Force (1999) and Blue Shift (2001), developed by Gearbox Software.
In 2004, Valve released Half-Life 2 to further success, with a new setting and characters and physics-based gameplay. The series continued with the episodic games Half-Life 2: Lost Coast (2005), Half-Life 2: Episode One (2006) and Half-Life 2: Episode Two (2007). Episode Three was scheduled for release by Christmas 2007, but was not released. The first game in the Portal series, set in the same universe as Half-Life, was released in 2007.
Valve experimented with further Half-Life concepts for over a decade. After years of speculation, it unveiled its flagship virtual reality game, Half-Life: Alyx, in 2019, with a release date of March 2020. Set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, players control Freeman's ally Alyx Vance in her quest to defeat the alien Combine.
