Black Mesa Source finally to be released

EnigmaXtreme · Sep 2, 2012

After what seems forever, the long awaited remake of Valve's Half Life 1 is finally being released

Originally starting development in 2004, Black Mesa Source was planned as a from the ground up remake of Valve's original shooter. After almost 8 years in development Black Mesa had fallen into the same category as Duke Nukem Forever and Valve's very own Episode 3/Half Life 3 and classified as vaporware due to infrequent updates, originally promised by the end of 2009 today on their official website BlackMesaSource.com a countdown was revealed for the game's release on September 14th 2012

It's still not finished though, they're just sharing what they've done. They've still got the Xen part and other things.

I'll take whatever they give me, and love it.
If only Valve would do the same and give me Episode 3a or something.

Hadrian · Sep 2, 2012

I think they're jumping straight onto Half Life 3 instead and that'll probably introduce the new Source engine.

A countdown for a countdown? Sounds awesome

I never thought that I would live to the day that Black Mesa:Source will be finally released.
My thoughts is now with the poor gamers who didn't live to see this day come.

The only thing that could happen to make them postpone it is the release of Half-Life 3 with Source 3 SDK, then they will be like "lol sorry we'll port it to HL3 engine (:".

Reminds me of the sad story of an American grandma waiting patiently for Dragon Quest 5 back in the 90s... and dying before she ever got to play it.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD ;___;

Anything can happen, ANYTHING!
Hired guns from Valve sabotaging the project. EMP strikes. Ninjas that throw shurikens with a Valve logo. People disappearing. Potato.

Everything's possible. This project still may not see the light of day.

I think Valve should definitely get these guys to work for them. They seem to understand how Valve time works at the very least.

If this is any good they do actually stand a pretty good chance of getting hired, valve loves to hire people from mod teams.

Looks more like they got sucked into Valve time themselves.

Also, here's a gif from the game:

IN THE TEST, CHAMBERRR...

Anyways I'm torn. On the one hand, "Yeah right, I'm not falling for it this time." On the other hand... they seem more serious than before, and that's the day before my birthday...

The only thing Vavle cared about is removing the ": Source" from the name. The actual name of the project is now just "Black Mesa", it's just they didn't bother moving domains and I'm pretty sure you can't sue over a similar domain, otherwise domain-parking wouldn't exist.

Always wanted to play half life, hell I actually can't think of any other game that deserves the hype.
