Half Life coming out in 2009

[Eipok Kruden]

The trailer for "Black Mesa" just came out and it is awesome! For those who don't know what Black Mesa is, it's a remake of the original Half Life, but it's using the new version of the Source engine and since the devs made all the models from scratch, you can play it as long as you have a game that uses the source engine, any game that uses the source engine. Are you guys hyped for it or just meh cause I'M TOTALLY HYPED! This looks like a AAA game and we all know the story is gonna be fantastic since it's Half Life. It's got the modern production values, graphics, animations, voice acting, and presentation of a AAA title with the story of the original Half Life, is there a downside? If there is, I don't see it.

Btw, here's the link to the trailer: http://files.filefront.com/BlackMesaTrailer+HQ+720pwmv/;12515432;/fileinfo.html

Moderator note: This is a mod for the source engine.

Holy freakin crap. Awesome.

It looks great, bit hard to tell from the trailer but it looks true to half-life.

Downside? I've already played it.

 

[Smiles]

I look foreward to this, sadly the original had slipped me by.

Downside? I've already played it.

Upside? Old shooters suck (it's true, even if they were the best thing ever "back in the day").

 

[Snakktastic]

neat

Downside? I've already played it.

The upside?
It looks better than ever. It's like Half-Life Citrus Bazooka.

 

[the monopoly guy]

I never played Half Life, so I hope this will take it's place.
P.S. What's a citrus bazooka?

I recently played Half-Life 1 again. I loved it, more than most of the shooters I've played recently too!

Watch your mouth boy! How dare you say that about Half Life!! *makes angry face* Half Life was and still is a masterpiece, although it would be interesting if they have the magic regenerating health like most modern shooters do. Although, if they do that, they need to let you be able to play it in the classic mode. Like before you start a game, you'd be able to choose if you want to play it in classic with health and armor pickups and regenerators or in modern with regenerating health and shields.

Keyword: again.

Is it just a remake of Half-Life or does it have the expansions?

I ask as I made my way through the game in less than 4 hours on my first play through.

 

[ChocoCake]

Looks to be promising. I'll have to wait a little longer and see for sure though. I have always loved Half Life, such a good game(s).

That's an astute question, I also wonder that.

Additionally I wonder if a 360 port is likely.

The most amazing thing about this "MOD" is that it is literally done on the production level of a real full game. They have people who are professionals (and several amateurs) from all over the field. Concept Artist, Graphic Artist, Music Composers, Programmers, and Much more. All of this is done for free. (Its a mod so it will be free) No mater how well the Black Mesa Mod turns out, It will indefinitely be the deepest mod ever.

Unlikely unless Valve picks it up from the lead devs.

 

[Mister Ash]

that's all kinds of funky.... i've not played HL in ages (not the original anyways) and it was so much fun...

And is anyone more likely to do something like that than Valve?

Still, I suppose I better not get my hopes up.
