Modder ‘gclocker’ is working on a Half-Life-inspired free game in Unreal Engine 4, called Operation Half-Real. As the title implies, this free game aims to create a Half-Life experience in Unreal Engine 4, and below you can find the first gameplay footage from it.
From what we can see, this fan game will be using the original assets of Half-Life. However, and thanks to Unreal Engine 4, the modder will also implement some modern-day techniques.
As its description reads:
“Operation Half-Real aims to bring players all new scenarios to immerse themselves in and build on what Valve already achieved with their critically acclaimed game with new ideas to spice up the gameplay.”
Those interested can also download an early demo from here. This project is in an early development phase, though, so don’t expect much from it. Still, there are basic gameplay elements (like fighting zombies, using weapons, interacting with the environments, and more).
Have fun!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Wow, nice. If only they could remake the game in Unreal 5…
Getting aids would be a better option.
Aids remake/remaster in Unreal 5 when?
If that happens, John would catch it twice at least.
John’s original title for this title : ” Half-Life-inspired game using Unreal Engine ”
wonder why he changed LOL
Looks a little off using this engine but if he finishes it I wonder if it could be used as basis for more/bigger/better HLDM1 maps without the limitations of the goldsource engine.
why would you port hl1 to unreal engine?
“Incredible”
it’s good that they got the 3d model and imported into unreal engine 4, but those 3d model are very out dated.
