    92 replies, posted
I was interested in it five years ago. Now it's just routine to have it delayed.
It'll be okay. When it comes out, it'll be great. Keep on pushing, Black Mesa team!
I've lost interest.
Black masa forever.

:bang:
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUU- I know I shouldn't expect any more from them, but I was looking forward to the idea of playing it at Christmas.
it doesnt take 6 years to develop a mod...(even tho It is classed as a game now..) They are never going to bring it out it sounds like they have been being lazy for the last few months..

It's kind of annoying actually. It doesn't surprise me that they've delayed again, but can they not create a deadline and stick to it? The whole point of a deadline is to complete something by a certain date. It's not a deadline if you're consistently changing it. I was really interested in this mod a while ago, but now i've lost interest in it. I'll download it when it comes out, ofcourse.

Maybe for other mods yes but - Hevsuit? wow.. its already in hl2 just remodel there you go. - Crowbar again just remodel there you go.. Most of the stuff that they want is already in the game
[QUOTE=shill le 2nd;18786818]Do you realize how complicated mod development can get if one your major priorities is quality?[/QUOTE] No, but I'm sure you can ask the makers of those amazing mods that aren't on five years of development time.
Urgh. YOU DO NOT REMODEL MAPS. The point here is, they are doing vast and MAJOR improvements to map architecture and texturing. Guess what was the size of wall textures in HL1? 64x64. What's the minimum here for these guys? 512x512. That's only 258 048 pixels more per wall texture.

ye but even with all of that 6 years is just a joke
[QUOTE=Neddy;18787051]ye but even with all of that 6 years is just a joke[/QUOTE] they're doing this mod for free. why should they dedicate every waking minute of their life to gettin the mod out in a year.

I just wish they would show some of their latest work instead of the dumb old test videos.
I'm going to expect extreme quality because that's their only excuse for their delays
Now I have to wait even longer for some polished deja-vu.
[QUOTE=Neddy;18787066]BMS Is turning into Duke Nukem Forever[/QUOTE] It's like with every new post you make in here you just come off as sounding even more ignorant than the post you made previous. It's a relatively small mod team doing a total conversion of a FULL game. They're making most everything from scratch. I would LOVE to see you and your buddies pull that off in any less time.
Honestly I think Half life was a far more complex game than Half Life 2, so I can see why this is taking much longer.
