< Article. >Summary of the article: -Valve produced, in house, a 4 issue miniseries of comics as a prequel to The Sacrifice. You can read them < here. > (As of this posting, only the first 4 were released.) -This features the original 4. -This further links the original 4 and the southern 4. Essentially, expanding and joining their stories. -One of the original 4 will die. We've seen prequel comics for games before (Dead Space is one) and comics that continue a game franchise's story (Halo, WoW, etc.), but they're typically not free. They are usually the cost of a standard comic, or if online for free, much smaller. So it's cool to see a "big publisher" go this route. It's also cool that they're not only going back to the original characters, but the release is for both games. If you have Steam, I recommend checking out the trailer. It doesn't have any sound, just some music. I think it works for the story. While we're talking about this, one area I think Valve and Steam suck is delivering non-game software content. They need to improve their news section to let people know about events like this one. I shouldn't be finding out about it via a third party site, particularly when I'm logged into Steam most days of the week. |
