CS: Condition Zero Coming & Half-Life 2 at E3 2004

Posted by Blitz at 19:35 30/1/2004.

It's expected that CS:Condition Zero will finally be with us any day now, after PlanetHalfLife and CSNation have both confirmed that they've received their official copies of the game from Vivendi Universal. Here's what VUGames had to say:
"Vivendi Universal Games is in the process of localizing the game in multiple territories for a world-wide simultaneous ship, and will be officially announcing a ship date in the coming weeks."
You have to wonder about the damage that's been done with the constant delays that have taken place with the game; How many people actually plan on buying the game? Not as many as had originally planned, that's for sure.
In other news, Valve have confirmed that we're likely to see Half-Life 2 at this year's E3 show, which takes place in May. Disappointing, given that the game had originally been expected at the tail end of last year, though not in the least surprising:
Will Valve be making a presentation at E3 again this year?
Most likely, though nothing final to announce right now.

	Blitz Editor UKTerrorist 19:37 30/1/2004	Couldn't give two hoots about CZ since I don't plan on buying it, but it's a shame about HL2. Ah well, gives me more time to play the first one through again I suppose :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Noah- r4ngers 19:37 30/1/2004	i bet the whole "we was h4xxed" thing was a conspiracy just to give vavle more time! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Genics thed0n 19:48 30/1/2004	probably not, why woulda they want to realse there game engine? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Pimpboy feo 20:25 30/1/2004	i dont think they were hacked i think it was "leaked" but i do believe they are no where near completion. No matter what you are expecting of HL2 its not being designed purly for the gamers out there HL2 is in reality going to be one big mother of a tech demo for their new engine with a storyline just to make it interesting vlave will make their money by selling the engine to other companies and let them make the "high quality games" I also think the way id software are advancing has scared the s*** out of valve and they have gone back to the drawing board on a fair few things in their game because as it stands the doom3 engine is gona blow valves engine out of the water.Doom3 may well not have the lastability HL2 promises but the engine will sell by the bucket loads cos not only is it the most beautiful engine to date its actually quite PC friendly once it has been enhanced correctly which is the stage doom 3 is at at this moment.

	fez 21:13 30/1/2004	no matter how much doom3 fanboys try, HL2 is STILL the most anticipated game out of all that are going to be released [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Genics thed0n 21:21 30/1/2004	ive pld the latest leak off cs:cz. some things they ahve done liuke new map textires etc, but the gun models and sounds r just jokes lol [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Genics thed0n 21:21 30/1/2004	oh and m4 silenced is does like a 3rd damage or somin, total jokes [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Pimpboy feo 21:33 30/1/2004	HL2 is the most anticipated game ever i agree but be prepared for a major let down in the end.. i sense another daiktana or maybe even worse a duke Nukem forever .. i sincerly hope it turns out like we want it to but i have serious doubts.

	Montaver theb0g 13:17 31/1/2004	Aye Genics I got that, its awful. You can colt them in the head, blood spurts everywhere, and they still run at you regardless. Plus the gun models and sounds are pathetic. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Montaver theb0g 13:20 31/1/2004	Oh yeh, what your saying about Doom III 's engine being leagues ahead is slightly exageratted I think. The source engine has some specific features which will make it just as viable as Doom 3 i.e. as someone else mentioned the physics. Not to mention its based on a completly different coding language to d3 (ogl vs dx). The HL2 engine can also cope with rendering large environments, I seem to remember reading the next Doom engine copes far better with claustrophobic scenes, as most screenshots I have seen backup.
