There's a few games I missed out on over the years, due to a long period where I had neither a console nor a GPU. HL is one of them... I've tried checking out some older games now I have a GPU but struggled to get into them due to the graphics.
So I'll 100% be getting stuck into this when it's out! Big thanks to the team taking on this task.
I find I can't get into them if I physically play them on PC. One look and I get the "potato graphics" feeling and start increasing AA, texture packs, etc. Now if I stream it to my TV or phone, it's like "oh okay this is normal for this thing" and it tricks my brain to not caring.
