Black Mesa:Source - Games - Facepunch Forum

Black Mesa Source is just portfolio padding for the team. I doesn't take 6 years to make a mod of a 13 year old game.

[QUOTE=i_speel_good;18451933]You mean completely remake a 13 year old game, with 100% new content trying to stand up to today's gaming standards.[/QUOTE] This. Half-Life: Source was ported by Valve in mere seconds. What did you get? Same models, same maps, same sounds, same textures, same weapons and same friendlies/enemies. Only things that were new was Source's water, ragdolls and the lightning system. Black Mesa is not the same shit as HL:S. Unlike the source port, it remakes Half-Life, a more than a decade old game to have NEW graphics, physics and AI so it could look great for today's standards, unlike HL:S. And I really doubt that a handful of developers are capable of doing that with a two year limit. What you are looking at is Half-Life's story and setting with rehashed graphics so it would look like a modern game. However, I do agree that the devs are DNFing us.

No, it means they will release the game when it's done, with a 75% chance that it will be done by the end of 2009

Do you know what committed means? [quote]to bind or obligate, as by pledge or assurance; pledge: to commit oneself to a promise; to be committed to a course of action.[/quote]

That's why I said 75%, not 40, ok ?

[QUOTE=LoserMan255;18454714]That's why I said 75%, not 40, ok ?[/QUOTE] You still dont get it do you, They will have to finish it in 2009, or they'll kill themself, kapisch?

That's what they said about HL2 releasing in 2003

I thought valve had to re-do tons of stuff because of that leak?

How big will this be roughly?

4 gigs I think would be appropriate.

I'd say around 5 and a half. Maybe 6.

Depends on their optimization of textures and the like. I'd go about 5, as well.

I've been watching the development of this forever. Will probably piss myself with excitement when it finally is released. :v:

The greatest joke since that game that copied everything Limbo of the Lost So did anything happen today or what?

[QUOTE=jcallan;18457323]The greatest joke since that game that copied everything Limbo of the Lost So did anything happen today or what?[/QUOTE] No

With svn 12 gb, without svn files about 3-4.

how would you know this?

This is going to be the most interestingly dull mod release though, I can say that much. "OMG awesome it's out!" "have you played through that one part that was in HL1 yet?" "yeah it was just like HL1 except shiny!! omg sweet!" Atleast R&D was a new experience where you could talk about parts of the game by the watercooler. With this it's the exact same thing as HL1 except with a new coat of paint, so there's nothing to really talk it about per-say except the presentation. I guess that is what matters most for some though.

Above poster has no idea what he's talking about
