According to that article above at eurogamer, HL 2 is still on track for a september 30th release - woohoo!

Retr0gamer · 27-08-2003 3:32pm

Kind of old news more of a conformation but Valve have been insisting that it will be out for September 30th while the publisher is saying that it won't be out til November. The release date is so close that i'm willing to put fate in what Valve says rather than the publisher. Lets hope it's as good as the hype makes it out to be. Of course it would have to be released the day i'm back to college for my final year. I'm sure I can afford to drop a few grades for HL.

Now, where can I find a dirt cheap Ati Radeon for Sept. 30th.

just in time to test drive my new pc

cant wait, saw the recent videos and it looks amazing. only gripe i have with it is that i dont like the look of the new pistol, and although all the enviroments look amazingly interactive im afraid that what you see in teh video is, basicly, all you get.

roll on autumn.

I bet it turns out to be crap

That'd be so funny after all these years of waiting.
Roll on Deus-Ex2!

Spunog UIE · 27-08-2003 4:45pm

I have to say I am looking forward to half life 2, i have all the chapters of the original, and from all the videos that are coming out it does look to be something special indeed

Now all i need to do is get a kick arse GFX card to play it on sigh

Shin

weemcd · 29-08-2003 11:59pm

what can i do to make it up? ps i was on your buddie list

im touched, you are on mine

Stormfox1020 · 30-08-2003 8:49am

apparently u dont need a Class card to play it on, they said a TNT2 would play it on medium settings so you should be ok, well unless u have like a Gf2 or GF3 then u can upgrade cuz thats just wrong having a card like that.

shinzon · 30-08-2003 8:55am

Thats what i notice about Valve, they dont really tax machines when they release there games, you dont need a kick ass gfx card to run there games, but it sure does help lol to get the most out of the game if you do

Spunog UIE · 30-08-2003 11:04am

the way it should be to be honest

LOL

Actually I heard Doom3 is looking pretty crap gameplay-wise, but it's not exactly finished anyway.
From the articles I've read about DEx2 - it can't fail... they're using more or less the same formula as the first game in terms of exp points and augment upgrades, even if it's only like a mission pack for the first game I'll be pleased with it, but judging from the avi's I've seen I don't think I'll be let down on any front... they've been working on a new sound engine aswell to make sounds travel more realistically, not to mention the attention to physics in even the most insignificant objects.

Oops, better stop hijacking this thread!

I do hope that its not because of an illegally leaked Alpha demo of Doom3, that yer going against Doom3.

Doom3, alpha version; looks pretty sweet.
DeusEx2, shipping version; looks sweet.

PS; after alpha, there's a beta, then there's the shipping version.

i_am_dogboy · 31-08-2003 12:46pm

i dont really care about any of these games, as long as homeworld 2 is as good as it's looking i'll be happy

sorry for going so off topic.......

Retr0gamer · 01-09-2003 8:07am

HL2 will work on a crap machine but it will look ****e. HL1 worked on my P100 but it wasn't the same as playing it on praes P400 (or whatever was out then) with a vodoo 2.

shinzon · 01-09-2003 9:34am

According to the g team on gamezville, half life 2 is now confirmed for the 14th of november, anyone else care to comment lol

shin

Retr0gamer · 01-09-2003 9:58am

Thats probably the publishers release date. I'll wait for conformation from a more reliable source and not the (ick) g team. Could well be true but I'm hoping it isn't.

Creamy Goodness · 01-09-2003 3:41pm

possible review from gamezville

this game looks wicked but like the orignal it was well 'ard and i found myself playing something else in two minutes.

i give it 4 g's wicked!

Horsefumbler · 01-09-2003 4:19pm

Yeah they'll get some sap who's never played a pc first person shooter before to review it and he'll say it's crap 'coz it's hard to control using the keyboard and mouse'.

4 g's definitely though:)

monument · 01-09-2003 7:53pm

I watched some of that show today; it's very funny.

How many "experts" do they have?

Spacedog · 01-09-2003 8:23pm

none

Retr0gamer · 01-09-2003 9:14pm

hilarious yet true

Wonder should we start an e-mail campaign to get someone other than a spotty overweight geek with glasses to review half life 2.

Anyhoo e-mail

theboyz@gamezville.tv

Thats

Yeah saw that new Sky1 fodder.. tis a bit bland and you wonder about the debth but sure hey, it beats watching sally jessy before college. Off the topic a bit, have high hopes but no expectation for HL2... S.T.A.L.K.E.R also looks good if a little thin, And DOOM3 i think could be the next Aliens Vrs Pred (marine campaign) if they do it right. Nothing has scared me like that game did in single player. Mostly im very much looking forward to Jedi Academy, still my favourite 1st person shooter, Jedi Outcast really warmed my heart. Barely played it in multiplayter but was for me a sheer pleasure in sp. Jedi Academy looks like more but better of the same, and i cant wait. Also just got a 128mb 9800 pro so its all gravy..

Lyconix · 03-09-2003 9:31pm

They seem to pick up a random kid to review most games, regardless of their interest (or lack thereof) in the genre, not to mention their experience playing games.

I was a little interested when I first saw the ads for Gamesville before it came out, but how very juvenile and awful it turned out to be... :mad:

El Marco · 03-09-2003 9:42pm

Well, I was looking forward to hl2 untill I read up on Tribes: Vengence! The graphics look sweet and the multiplayer is going to be amazing (A mid way between tribes and tribes 2) which will keep the tribes fan boys happy. Also the single player is going to be very impressive.

Well, why would that stop you from looking forward to HL2 ?
1 good game coming out ==good
2 good games coming out==twice as good

HL2 not slipping after all?
