You do know that valve already ported Half Life to the new source engine , if you dont want to wait until december (There is a 978676355626763276732673276% chance this date will slip to 2010 and a 982877387637763663767226% chance the mod will die after that)

Half Life: Source isn't really worth playing from what I hear? Its a few new graphics, Black Mesa is a complete remake.

Its the hydra I believe, but I think it was all scripted and couldn't really be done in game, so it got ditched.

When in doubt, read The Final Hours of Half Life 2. :) http://au.gamespot.com/features/6112889/

Yes it's the Hydra, yes it was cut, yes that scene was scripted, no it had proper AI, yes it was a bad enemy to fight. Basically, when fighting the hydra you saw a flash of blue then you died, it was fun to watch it attacking other NPC's, but not you.

As for HL:S, It's pretty much a 1:1 port to Source, except it has better physics and ragdolls. There are a few packs that add more features (Source gives it normal maps, refraction, etc.), but BM:S is a brand new game based on HL1 (best way I can think of to describe it).

This thread isn't irrelevant. I wanted to post my boundless excitement for this absolutely stunning recreation. Keep your silly sarcasm to yourself.

If the thread wasn't relevant, why post?

Thanks for posting about your excitement, next time why not run around your back yard? ;) hehe

And no, I have a habit of expressing my "silly sarcasm" at all times in all places, you'll just have to deal! :)

Deal with the fact you're an arrogant douche?

I said the thread "wasn't irrelevant". That's a double negative. Improve your reading skills and deal with my counter-sarcasm skills.

The trailer for Black Mesa Source did say it will launch in 2009. Let's see what happens. This remake, the recreation of a new story in Deus Ex: Machina; it's really quite something to see the mod community put so much effort into games they love.

I think it'll be worth the wait. A late-2009 release date, as listed in Wikipedia, isn't too far off. And judging from the trailer, it seems that they have converted everything from the GoldSrc engine to the Source engine. I am looking forward to finally playing Half-Life. I've tried playing it and found it boring because of the outdated graphics. Half-Life: Source had me excited, but that excitement soon vanished when I realized that it was a mere "micro port" of the original game. All in all, watch the trailer and think about the fact that this amazing mod will be available at no charge.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
