	NoToRiOuS 2 COOL 4 SKOOL UKTerrorist 11:11 19/4/2004	(This was an automated post) Update Valve have released the following statemente to squash these rumours: There have been a lot of rumours and assumptions produced at other sites (or should we say tabloids?) about Half-Life 2 being delayed until 2005. This isn’t the case at all; people are simply getting confused by a hypothetical comment from Gabe Newell. The comment was a reply to a question about Valve’s reasons for the delay back in September 2003. It’s purely hypothetical and there’s no reason to think Valve will be delaying the game until 2005 or putting $20 million more into it. The game will be released this year so sit back, relax and keep checking Halflife2.net for real information about Half-Life 2. There isn’t long to wait now. /Update Apparently during an interview with a gaming magazine, VAVLe's Gabe Newell suggested that there is a chance Half Life 2 may not be released in 2004. "We've already spent millions into this project, and we're willing to spend as much as we need to make this the best first person experience ever. If that means delaying the game to 2005, we'll do it without any hesitation. If it means sinking another $20 million into the project, we can do it. Rest assured, if we delay the game, it'll be only to blow your socks off even more when it finally releases." Well after the myriad of delays, this may come as no big surprise but more of a let down.

	OverlordRob Asylum.uk 11:14 19/4/2004	tis a shame but id rather play a finished game than some rushed anti climax with hundreds of bugs im sure they could even release it in 2 years and the technology would still be groundbreaking...just a shame as it means other games are having time to catch up [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	TeNeBrAe precise 11:17 19/4/2004	cant help but think the novelty might have worn off by the time the game is released. or even worse for valve, the technology used, and the "revolutionary" engine, may simply be out-of-date by the time they end up releasing it. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Makaveli- feo 11:28 19/4/2004	just as long as it doesnt become another Duke Nukem Forever ¬_¬ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Montaver theb0g 11:30 19/4/2004	After playing Farcry, and the imminent Doom III, the HL2 engine is looking far from ground breaking. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Inferus 11:32 19/4/2004	It'll probably do a daikatana. At the time it was being created, it was groundbreaking. By the time it was released it was just average. Having just played Far Cry recently, i have to say, it wasn't really far off halflife 2's physics. Barrels would be thrown into the air by a grenade, you can shoot stacks of boxes and they fall properly, etc. The enemies aren't too dumb either, if you're seen hiding somewhere, they shoot there, and if you stealth off you can still see em shooting there. Sorry, but Halflife2 is gonna flop in my opinion. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	monkE euthanasia 11:39 19/4/2004	In the may issue of PC Gamer valve commit themselves to its release very soon, i think it'll have to be a fairly large overhaul of the game to delay it until 2005 :[ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Jimmeneh UFO 11:41 19/4/2004	if by 'flop' you mean total success because you're all still gonna go out and buy it then.....yes i agree with you. face facts stop whinging. they can push it back to 2008 if they want and basically redo the engine if they wanted. You'll all still buy it so shhhh. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Roar^ 11:48 19/4/2004	Half life was a really good game when you got into it Kr1stal, shouldve given it more of a chance maybe. I think they mightve taken what he said out of context, he was basically trying to say theyd just do what it takes to release a good finished product, whether it took £20million or extending the release date, he didnt say that it would actually be released in 2005. I really dont see how any game with the words "Valve" and "Half life 2" can flop tbh, no matter how bad it is, not that it will be bad imo anyway. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Bard- 11:49 19/4/2004	The delays begin. HL2 will come out and look dated, and will end up rather average in terms of graphics (just like CS:CZ) As mentioned already, FarCry. HL2 will need a decent story to save it. Steam wont help it either. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	David Smith Infinity-eSports 11:51 19/4/2004	Ummmm OK then Gabe............. Whatever you say we believe you......... Mmmmmm kay............ Sink another $20 million in to it lol, wonder where they will make that money from............ Us of course! Stop talking uber-crap and just give us a date ffs! :/ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	David Smith Infinity-eSports 11:59 19/4/2004	I wouldn't mind if they said 2054. Been waiting for HL2 since the year 2000. Every so often the same old story, been delayed etc. This reason and that reason, not our fault they say. Why don't they just be honest and say HL2 was under development, ceased development and may resume development some time in the near future. To buy HL2 you will need Dr Emmett Brown, a Flux capacitor and a Delorian sports car then make it to 88 MPH to collect your copy of HL2. I'd believe that more than I believe anything they say at this current time. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	pk 12:02 19/4/2004	wtf is VAVLe? I heard they are delaying it cos they are putting some pro strafejumping into the engine btw [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Bard- 12:03 19/4/2004	The truth is, Valve are working on a Time Travel mode for Steam. This will enable gamers to travel forward in time and purchase HL2. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Abdo 12:10 19/4/2004	The Havok physics engine is already old, Max Payne 2 came out long enough ago didn't it. I predict HL2 will be released for Christmas, everyone will buy it, and it'll be pretty awesome, but not revolutionary. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	OverlordRob Asylum.uk 12:17 19/4/2004	Not sure if its still in development madspunk but they just kept giving the same old story ' itll be ready when its ready' but Im not sure it will ever be ready any more AFAIK it is still being made but I may just not have heard :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	DoZ Anti-saviour of UKT 12:27 19/4/2004	Any date they say is going to fall short of the actual date. That they even say 2005 means that'll now be the minimum due to their immense ineptitude. The game will sell still, but it'll sell less than if they pulled their fingers out and got the job done. Too little, far too late; again [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Mango 12:55 19/4/2004	I think the game is going to be great, single player is where valve excel and I doubt HL2 will be a let down. Hopefully Valve can keep up with and surpass our expectations and those set by other developers. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	AGeNt7eVeN Clan Dirty 13:01 19/4/2004	The truth is, Valve are working on a Time Travel mode for Steam. This will enable gamers to travel forward in time and purchase HL2.

	Carb theb0g 13:18 19/4/2004	Actually I think Duke Nukem Forever might be released at the same time as Doom III and HL2 (whenever that may be). Put it in direct competition. We've not see anything of it for a long time, that's possibly a good thing. Shows they're keeping it under wraps (thats if it is still in development!) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Inferus 13:23 19/4/2004	Maybe it's a strategic move by VALVe. Afterall, currently, how many of you people could play HL2 with a decent fps rate? In a few more months, the GeForce 6800 is going to be around, and i'm sure Radeon have a new offering also. The average pc, will be capable of running hl2 well, so thats more possible customers to valve. Also, the new wave of pc's isn't far off. Wouldn't it be a good way to get all that money, if HL2 is shipped with these new spec pc's to show off their power? :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Carb theb0g 13:28 19/4/2004	The only problem is you can say that until you're blue in the face with PCs constantly moving on in processing and graphical power. Valve have to draw a line somewhere and just release it (if indeed they are waiting for PC specs etc to change, which I don't think they are). [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Bard- 13:28 19/4/2004	You get a copy of HL2 with the high-end Radeon cards. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	MaCcA^ 14:07 19/4/2004	They havent said its been delayed and I'd bet you my months wages that Halflife 2 Will not be a flop. Just because of a delay or two... if u remember Halflife was delayed by near enough 2 years and thats still the #1 best selling pc action game. At least VALVe aint like Eidos and spit out their titles with disgusting bugs (im talking about stuff you have to pay for here not f***ing steam) Look at championship manager 4, it got released and a week later u had to patch it... another week or so later you had to patch again. Id rather wait and get the finished product, but i doubt there will be such a big delay [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Bard- 14:07 19/4/2004	If its already being bundled with the current top notch hardware, its clearly going to be able to run well on one, so by the time the game does release (which may well be 2005) its not going to be all that demanding, especially with all the 64bit technology floating around. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Bard- 14:09 19/4/2004	it got released and a week later u had to patch it... another week or so later you had to patch again. Steam is just as frustrating to update, and just wait till Valve drop the Pay-to-Play bombshell. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	gst theb0g 15:02 19/4/2004	This is REALLY starting to annoy me now, thing is HL2 is gonna have to be something special to compeat with some newer titles coming out. If they are not careful they will lose some market to the likes of Quake 7 & Doom 5. (Yes thats when its likely to be out) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Grunt 15:11 19/4/2004	err no where there does it suggest its going to come out in 2005, and the original half life was also massivly delyayed if i remember correctly just no one cared about it until it got released and it was still ground breaking then [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Grunt 15:36 19/4/2004	? i want to play it as soon as possible to, all i was saying is that only a fool would interpret that as hl2 is coming out in 2005 (it probably will but thats not the point) although i'd rather play a well pollised game than the usuall crap that gets rushed out to meet idiotic deadlines [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	tomiK. 16:00 19/4/2004	If you like hl or if you've played and liked Deus Ex, I recomend Deus Ex 2. Deus Ex 2 has brilliant physics like hl2 and FarCry, decent graphics and excellent story line. If you're like me and you're interested in things such as for example: world conspiracies, aliens, deadly viruses and the illunimati, then this game is for you. Not as good as the first game mind you, but I recomend you try it. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Smittins 17:17 19/4/2004	I think HL is a victim of its own success I still think HL single player is the best single player experience on any games system aside from FF7, but because of its success, inevtiably it gets holes picked in it [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Otis Rush! 17:20 19/4/2004	Why don't they just be honest and say HL2 was under development, ceased development and may resume development some time in the near future. Marketing strategy. No point in making a game, then the week before its released, start your campaign then. With a big game like HL2 you can do this as it already has so much weight behind it. Its worked too, the fact is you will all still go out and buy it, its just they will have gained a few more customers since they last 'delayed' it. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
