I wished they hire the Arkane team that got laid off. Put them to work on a new single player ip and let Victor Antonov add some of his design into it.

They dont have to do anything new, just make it good enough, like Titanfall 2.

But that would go against

> I believe they also said they don't want to do more of the same

I've heard this too, with Half Life they want each game to be groundbreaking. Arkane have done great games, but they're not all groundbreaking, and arguably none of them are to the level that HL1/2 were.

That's why they should hire someone else to do the leg work (That's what they used to do anyway). There isn't exactly a lot of unique things in Portal 2 compared to the original but the sheer polish and testing Valve applied to their games (when they want to) is still unmatched.

They already did hire the original Arkane to work on Episode 4, then cancelled it along with 3.
