World War Z Studio wanted to make a remake of Half-Life 2

By Adam Bankhurst

Saber Interactive, the developer behind World War Z, approached Valve asking him to redo Half-Life 2. However, Valve responded that if a remake were to take place, it would be in-house.

GameWatcher has spoken with Matthew Karch, CEO and co-founder of Saber Interactive, who explained that after Saber's work on Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the team has then turned to Half-Life 2.

"After doing Halo Anniversary and Halo 2 Anniversary as part of the Master Chief Collection, I personally contacted Gabe Newell, because I knew him from the past, and I said I wanted to redo Half-Life 2 "Karch m said. "It's all I want to do, I will not charge you anything, I'll do it for content sharing and I do not even need to be a big content share." really do it because I love this game so much. "

Valve, unfortunately for Saber, replied "Sorry, if we will do it, we will do it internally."

Karch, like many of us, continues to ask the question "Where is Half-Life?" He thinks Saber "scratches what's itching with World War Z on Left 4 Dead Side", but "Gordon Freeman, guy, he's as iconic as Master Chief." Where is he? "

Although we still do not know when / if Half-Life will come back someday, we know that World War Z recreates the chaotic and entertaining game of Left 4 Dead. In our review, we said: "The lack of variety and ambition of World War Z can not prevent a satisfactory reduction of the zombie with a good group of friends.
