I want a Source 2 port of Half-life with completely dynamic lighting

Not quite the same thing. I really just want a straight up port of Half-Life: Source with dynamic lighting (and better water). Not that I honestly expect it to happen but it'd be relatively easy for Valve to do and it'd be a really nice gesture. Especially since DOTA 2 is the only thing we've seen of Source 2 so far.
it's not available for us though. From what I understand very not ready for the masses to take and begin working with. Likely buggy and lacking documentation and or features.
)or forward+
Grim Fandango remastered looks so good with dynamic light and shadow, and that's with its assets virtually unchanged, that I dream of how cool HL1 might look under the same circumstances.

Right now I wish Half Life 2 never existed so I wouldn't be constantly reminded of how much of a letdown it was when Valve left us with a huge cliffhanger 10 years ago.
Even worse when Gabe Newell practically says there are no more Valve games coming up.
Unless there's a "technological innovation that justifies making such games".
Yeah right.

I'm not. HL2 was a bit of a letdown compared to Far Cry, Ep1 wasn't that great and while Ep2 kicked ass Valve decided to never finish the goddamn game.
Anyway HL source always looked a bit weird to me. Either go play the original or Black Mesa if you want modern looks.
BTW I really wonder what they do at Valve these days. Obviously not making games and I doubt they need 300+ people just to keep Steam running. By now they must all be so filthy fucking rich that its probably some Wolf of Wallstreet'esque hooker drug booze party.

I'm sure they are leaving that to some Chinese child labourers.
I like me some Far Cry 1 but it's got nothing on HL2's encounter design or variety.
And I say that knowing how popular retrospect insight is around HL2 and its supposed weaknesses as a game. And while there's some truth it, whether I agree or not, it's also true that the first Far Cry inherited all the same weaknesses.
