半条命2游戏新截图曝光 回到莱温霍姆

该游戏是Arkane工作室在2006-2007年间开发的，但最终还是被取消，让众多fans沮丧不已。现在，大家终于可以看到比效果图和动画演示更多的有关该游戏的内容了。感谢ValveTime的调查小组，我们有了数张来自第4篇(Episode 4)的截图可以欣赏。

新的截图展示了多个新的材质和模型，以及一个被称之为"全神贯注"(Absorption)的HUD元素。

或许你还不知道，Arkane工作室已在2010年8月份的时候被ZeniMax Media所吸收。该公司去年年底发布了最新的第一人称潜行动作游戏"Dishonored"(羞辱)，该作颇受评论家们的好评，还是Steam平台上"发布前一周卖的最好的游戏"的第三名。

半条命的原作者Marc Laidlaw一年前对LambdaGeneration说，他们是Arkane的大粉丝，并希望能有个一起合作的项目。但在折腾了一阵之后，他们最终觉得追求当时的项目并没有意义。

原文：New imagesfrom a planned Half-life 2 episode known as Return to Ravenholm recently surfaced online. The game was being developed by Arkane Studios in 2006 and 2007 but was ultimately cancelled, much to the dismay of fans of the series.

Up to this point, the general public has seen little more than concept art and an animation reel demo from the game. Thanks to the investigative team atValveTime, however, we now have several screenshots to admire – all verified to be from Episode 4.

The screenshots show multiple new textures and models that were to be used in the game as well as a HUD element called Absorption. It’s anyone’s guess as to how exactly this metric was to be used – feel free to chime in below if you have any ideas.

As you may or may not already know, Arkane Studios was absorbed by ZeniMax Media in August 2010. The company most recently worked on the first-person stealth-action game Dishonored, released late last year. The game received favorable reviews from critics and was the third-best selling title on Steam the week before its release.

Half-life’s original writer Marc Laidlaw spoke on the cancellation a year ago, tellingLambdaGenerationthat they were big fans of Arkane and wanted to come up with a project they could work on together. After tossing around some ideas and putting together some content, they eventually decided that it didn’t make sense to pursue the project at that time. He said that elements of the title like headcrabs and zombies were played out and the story timeline introduced some creative constraints.
