i dont think so ,at this level of the game status i dont think they need other years xd

Personally, I think this topic should be banned from discussion - if and when they release I will be the first to celebrate, but I feel that this "work in progress" has been in progress for far too long.

 

[INSTG8R]

Hmmm Black Mesa or Ep. 3. Which will show up first?

 

[RejZoR]

I think Duke Nukem Forever 2 will arrive first...

Holy crap people! There is now a counter on the page:

Forum seems to be going down periodically, here's the post:

Community Update

We're freaking out over here! It is so exciting to share this news with you!

You can now Download the Black Mesa Soundtrack, courtesy of our very own Joel Nielsen, at the very generous price of whatever you want! Enjoy and share!
In the near future you'll see our Website, Wiki and Forums all taken down temporarily for renovations.
On September 14th you will see the first release of Black Mesa! This will include our re-envisioning of Half-Life all the way up to Lambda Core. We believe this is a great way to provide a complete-feeling 8-10 hour experience with a solid ending, make our fans happy and help us make the best overall game possible.

We are still working hard on Xen and BMDM, but instead of making you wait we are giving you Black Mesa as soon as it's ready! We're doing our best to help bring the immense vision of this project into reality, and we are very excited for what the future brings!

High-Fives Yo, Carlos Montero - Project Leader

Think somebody hacked the page?

Can't be real.

 

[MainframeTM]

Being someone who has been working on a mod (thou for another game) for ages I can understand the delay. I hope it gets released when they want, and no sooner.

Why not, its been forever already.

I read about this years ago, so refresh my memory: what is this exactly? Iirc its not just HL source right?

Well if you know anything about HL Source released by Valve then you know that it is a terrible export to the new Source Engine.

Enter Black Mesa: Source, a mod that brings higher resolution textures and all the glory of the latest Source engine to HL1 requiring a complete remake up and probably from the ground up rebuild.

Basically so that HL1 looks like HL2 and not like it's from 1998.

¿This game is free or have a pre rquisit, like have any source game?

Bye

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

I think it's just a stand-alone Source engine game...?

Their page will say.

 

[AphexDreamer]

I think it has to at least be an HL2 Mod requiring HL2 maybe EP 1 or 2 as well.

Black Mesa will require the Source SDK Base 2007 to run. Many Source games purchasable through Steam come with the Shared Resources, including the SDK, that you will need in order to run Black Mesa. To see if you can run Black Mesa, open Steam and look in the tools tab. If you see an entry titled Source SDK Base 2007, you can run Black Mesa.

As of July, 2011, Valve made the Source SDK free for anyone to download.[1] This means that users who create new Steam accounts will be able to play Black Mesa without having to purchase any games. [2][3]

Please note that neither the Nvidia or ATI free game packages come with the SDK base.

If "Source SDK Base 2007" Does not appear on the tools tab in steam you must download it in order to play the mod.

At the moment, Black Mesa only supports the Microsoft Windows NT-based Operating Systems that Steam supports (2000, XP, Vista, 7). [4]

Is this still on the source engine? if so I could care less.

I agree they took WAY too long to finish this mod. If I wanted to play HL1 I would play HL1 on goldsrc :/

 

[qubit]

While I played HL2 three times over, I never played HL1 all the way through and now it looks and sounds too crabby by modern standards.

This awesome mod will allow me to finally play HL1 all the way through!

Fine whatever Negative Nancy. Sure it's long in the tooth but this still look good. And I like new engines and pretty candy myself.

Ssooo.. You do care then?

 

[RejZoR]

They now have countdown on their webpage. If it's for the game release i'll eat my own hair...

 

[erixx]

I have finished HL1 twice... HL2 although like it, cannot stand the tunnels with crabs and did not finish.
The new Counterstrike Global Ops uses Source2? It looks "eatable"... Could be a big nice change for HL1....
