‘The Last of Us’ Director Just Asked for the ‘Half-Life’ License

As far as I know, there isn’t a soul outside of Valve who’s privy to the reasoning behind the company’s apparent inability to complete a trilogy. Team Fortress, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal — they all stop just shy of that elusive third game.

The conspiracy theorists who keep the specter of Half-Life 3 alive after all these years must’ve simultaneously exploded like overheated sausage people when creative director Neil Druckman replenished their virtual coffers with this lighthearted jest of a tweet that will have folks wondering what the game might be like if it came from another developer.

The image in Druckman’s tweet is of a one Merle Dandridge, Alyx Vance herself, wearing full motion capture gear like she’s been waiting this whole time to reprise her role.

I’m okay with this strange, alternate future Druckman has conjured for us, where at least one of the amazing series Valve hasn’t had the time to finish? And before you choose a side, just know that Gordon’s blank canvas of a personality will be the first to go. Valve will complete a trilogy on their own before the creators of Uncharted make a game with a silent lead.

Would you be open to this, or is even joking about it constitute blasphemy?

Would You Trust Another Developer to Make Half-Life 3?

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
