Black Mesa coming in 2009!!

[BuRn7 CaK3]

According to the game's project lead, Black Mesa is coming out late in 2009. If you're not in-the-know, Black Mesa is a complete overhaul of the original Half-Life created with the Source engine. It's been in the works for over four years and is probably the most ambitious mod ever made. It's coming along nicely.

"The entire first half and then some of the game is completely playable, actually," Project leader Carlos Montero told The Age. There are still a few gaps and holes in the latter portion, but more and more comes online every day,"

The gameplay is "excellent," according to Montero, whose team intends to improve upon the original in more ways than just the visuals. According to Montero, the mod will "minimize the things [that] were hindrances to gameplay and maximize the elements that played really well." Among those elements: The AI has been completely re-written and other changes made, but Montero won't reveal them until the game comes out to "make sure that players have the sense of awe and excitement when they play the game for themselves the first time, and get to experience it on their own."

I can hardly wait until later in 2009!

Thanks!!

I've Added it to the main post.

[HiAperture]

I've been waiting for this since they announced they were making it.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

So my guess is it's only a PC thing?

[Skr33]

So do you need anything else other than Half Life 2 to play this? Or is it a mod for HL1? Or is it completely its own game? I'm confused.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

yeah, same here. Being Confused SUCKS.

[HiAperture]

You know they invented FAQ's for a reason:


Q. What will I need in order to play Black Mesa?
A. The only requirement to play Black Mesa will be that you own any Source Engine game on Steam.
That would include any HL2 game, portal, team fortress 2, counter strike source, day of defeat: source, left 4 dead ect.

and you don't need to be a d-bag about it.

[Cpt. Overkill]

and you don't need to be a d-bag about it.

You still should of read. You wouldnt of been confused if you actually read for ten seconds.

Sides, if your as hyped as your acting, you should of read the FAQ already.

[Kreepman]

meh. this looks okay.

I'm still waiting on Ep. 3 <_<

[HiAperture]

and you don't need to be a d-bag about it.
Sorry, was just being a bit sarcastic. But I would expect that someone who made a thread about a game would at least know what it was being made for.

OK I am excited about it...but really...how bout we get Episode 3 before worrying about a port of a game that's 10 years old

Valve isn't the one making this. They're still hard at work on Episode 3 (which I'm excited for, too).

Also, do want.

[Bearclaw]

Looks pretty spiffy, but I haven't even finished Half-Life 2, much less episodes 1 and 2 >_>

[Fizzeler]

This is officially awesome
