Thank god it looks a lot less plastic-y and corridor-ish than Doom 3.

One of the things that bothered me about Doom 3 was the lack of outdoor areas (except the occasional small bit of Mars surface with no oxygen) and endless corridors. Seems like Half-Life 2 will make up for this! The screenshot above with the high-rise flats and the pylons, and the screenshots in the streets really look the business.

Spoken like a true fanboy.

Doom 3 has it's merits, like Painkiller it's a balls out braindead shooter. Which is all about killing nothing else, it's a good laugh while doesn't have that much replay ability. But as long you ignored the hype you'd know thats what they were aiming for.

Is there actually a release date for Half-Life 2 now?

Doom3... ...it's a good laugh while doesn't have that much replay ability.

On the contrary, I really enjoyed playing it a second time armed with a BFG, blowing the crap out of all the creatures that gave me grief the first time round! :devil: :D

Not to mention the refresh-ness of the mods, only to be compounded further with the impending release of an SDK :happy:

We're hearing unconfirmed information from Eurogamer that release dates have been set for Half-Life 2. Whereas the reports confirm the general consensus that the game would be released in November, in my opinion, parts of the information doesn't sound accurate:

The long, drawn-out Half-Life 2 release date saga appears to be drawing to a close at long last, with Vivendi-Universal Games' expected to formally announce a November 26th release date for Europe, with US gamers getting the game three days earlier on November 23rd.

With Valve often discussing the game shipping simultaneously worldwide and the fact that not even Valve themselves have the date yet, makes me all very cynical of this information, however, if it is indeed true then let the countdown begin!

You can find the full story here at Eurogamer.net.

UPDATE: With more and more sites reporting on this story, including statements from their own sources, it seems more and more likely that I will end up eating my words. Here's a few different perspectives:

So each time people says Doom 3 isn't a quality game in many ways they are fanboys :rolleyes:

The only merit it has is graphics
But as long you ignored the hype you'd know thats what they were aiming for.

I totally ignored the hype. I peronally think Id aimed totally wrong. After 3-4 hours the game was already old for me. Haven't touched it since the day I bought it.

With Half Life 2 it seems Valve have done it again. Can they do the same with HL3?

I think we can naturaly assume you are a fanboi with the Sig and avatar. But you like to twist my words so for your sake yes everyone is a fanboi :sleep:

Doom 3 has it's merits, graphics (which beat HL2 with a stick imo), it's a good scare at times- admitidly they get a bit obvious but it is a remake, not groundbreaking like STALKER. Not to mention it's a braindead shooter, we all need a break some times. :laugh:

It's not that I'm saying HL2 will be bad. Hell no. It may well be better than Doom 3 (I am quite sure about that), it's just the constant slagging of doom 3 by HL2 fanbois (who, haven even played the finished game yet) which is ****ing me off. For example see below:

With Half Life 2 it seems Valve have done it again.

ON TOPIC:

I'm not sure if it was mentioned in PC Gamer, but the CE edition will not be coming out in the UK. I've asked VU and they have said it will only be for the US.

how will it look on my 1,5 ghz 256 ram geforce fx 5200 128? im deceding to buy a ati 9800 pro 128 mb for my 1,5 pc what do you guys think????

Frankly? Ugly, CS:S is very CPU intensive. With HL2 on the same engine I can't see it running very well at all.
