Vostok 7 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm also going to have to go with December... that seems to be "summer" for most releases nowadays Vostok 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Was I right or was I right.... My prediction for the actual release: two days after I totally lose interest and buy something else to occupy my time.

unsped Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) the stolen source code did not affect the release date this much, even ID has had tons of code stolen. what the stolen code showed is that the game was far from being done. its just an excuse of valves.

Well, from the article: The summer release date of Half-Life 2 is certain to once again divide gamers. Some will be relieved to finally have a date, however vague, that they can target. Others are likely to howl in outrage that the game has been delayed so far beyond its initial target date. (The game was originally scheduled to hit stores on Sept. 30, 2003.) Some ludicrous conspiracy theorists will likely begin regurgitating the ridiculous story that the source code leak was intentional, so Valve would have an 'excuse' to delay the game.

Mr March Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) All I can say is this better not be another Daikatana. I assume no one can match the utter failure of Romero's spawn, but there's always new world records being broken... *prays for an early release for beloved Half-Life 2* Edited February 4, 2004 by Mr March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all wrong because Daikatana, for better or for worse, actually came out! Duke Nukem Forever on the other hand.... That sucker will be forever immortalized in the Vaporware Hall of Fame.

unsped Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 i never said they leaked it on purpose. that would be crazy. im just looking at id's track record with such issues, it does not delay a project an additional 6 months+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperOstrich Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Heh. No way it comes out this summer, unless you consider 4th quarter to be summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Half Life.....what's that? The only game I'm interested in is a Macross Zero and/or Macross Plus game for the PS2. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghadrack Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I was thrilled about the impending release of HL2 until a friend of mine explained the "STEAM" scheme to me. Now this is second hand information but I have been told that HL2 will not be playable unless you subscribe to Valve's online service called STEAM, and this is the only way you will be able to patch or play the game. If this turns out to be true, no matter how awesome the game is I am not going to buy it. I loved half-life more than some people love theri kids, but I disagree with charging a monthly fee for a person to buy and play a singleplayer, Non-online game. If they want to charge people to play multi-player online through their servers that is their business, but Ill be damned if I am going to pay a fee to be able to sit home and pay a game that I paid for on my own computer not eating up anyone elses bandwidth or servers. That is like the old DiVX garbage where they wanted to stop DVD sales and make you pay a rental fee anytime you wanted to watch a movie. Didn't support the dumb idea then and I won't support it now.

bsu legato Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) Steam doesn't cost anything. It's even included in the retail Day of Defeat, where my experience with it comes from. The only costs are 1) price of game 2) dial-up/dsl fees. Edit: you don't need Steam to play single player, but you will need it for patches.
