    Black Mesa HL1 Remake...

    http://blackmesasource.com/

    So the exact release date is any body's guess at this point....
    But according to the following link, it will be released in 14 days...?!
    http://www.vgreleases.com/pc/ReleaseDate-238427.aspx

    Of course a few others are making some jokes out of it....
    http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/44...How-About-2012

    And then there others who have been waiting since 2006! :shock:

    Take a look here - http://forums.blackmesasource.com/showthread.php?t=2416

    The summary is:
    Unfortunately, to our great disappointment, Black Mesa will not make a 2009 release.
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Re: Black Mesa HL1 Remake...

    the dev team are hoping to get it out early next year. the amount of work this mod has entailed is immense. they have recreated every model and texture and have built all of the maps from scratch.

    Re: Black Mesa HL1 Remake...

    Yep. I've been watching this project with interest for over a year now - the work that they have done on it looks truely impressive. They have even appeared in valves news items. I can't wait until they come to release it!

    I just hope that the great work they have done on the graphics doesn't cause any problems with the playability of the game (cpu/gfx usage) - although I believe they have done their best to make sure that is not the case.

    Re: Black Mesa HL1 Remake...

    So, it’s been ages since there was any update on the Black Mesa Half Life 1 remake mod.

    And it would seem that this is the most recent “official” BM update at their site.
    The HL monsters enhanced with Xmas decorations and some balls hanging from the Youtube video!

    http://www.blackmesasource.com/



    But no wait!
    There are also these leaked shots...

    I still believe it’s not out because they're looking forward in making some deal with Valve and releasing it commercially through Steam, no matter their announced so called "ethics" and “principles".
    Money is money!

    Who's to say that it hasn't?
    These are just shots...
    One of the main devs hasn't logged in at their site for ages.

    Re: Black Mesa HL1 Remake...

    If only valve stepped in perhaps? And bundle it with halflife 3?

    Re: Black Mesa HL1 Remake...

    Yeah, like I said, I believe that's a more plausible scenario (or through Steam) than this ever being released on its own for free.
    Free died a long time ago and I don’t see this changing any time soon.

    But then again, was there ever an official announcement from Valve about HL2 Episode 3 or even HL3 ever being in development, let alone a release date?

    Re: Black Mesa HL1 Remake...

    I remember the Messiah Gabe Newell saying it was in development and that "Half Life 2: Episodes 1,2,3" = Half Life 3

    This means episode 3 should finish the HL saga.

    It would seem that one of the Devs posted this at their forum:

There's not a lot left to go, we're basically just fixing and improving things.
    But still we can't be too optimistic... re-working / improving large segments sounds very generic without a specific deadline...
    So even that could take ages with their pace...
    2 years is a considerable amount of time to complete the "Not a lot left" imo...
    Well, we'll just have to see how much time it takes from this point on then...

    We'll see.
    I still vote for a Steam commercial release.

    Perhaps it's a side effect of remaking a Valve game, they've taken on Valve time...

    Or a very slow portal...
    It is mentioned in the beginning of HL2 by that scientist when there is a delayment in Freeman's teleportation.
