Black Mesa Source

[antijoke]

I just had a thought...hopefully this will entice someone remake the original HLDM maps. Undertow pleeeeaaaase!

A HL DM revivial would be epic.

 

[bledd]

I think I read that was part of their plans..

After all, the maps are pretty dang small.


Here's to hoping for a TFC reskin

Maybe if its a success they'll remake Blue Shift or Opposing Forces? Mind you, we'd probably have to wait another decade to see it...

By the time they finish doing that it'll be time to start remaking HL2

That would be great & should not take that long because they already have Black mesa built so would only need to add the areas not seen in HL.
I have very fond memories of Opposing force & Blue shift.

looks like this would be a long download specially with my isp throttling torrent during the day lol

 

[Secret_Window]

The download servers are so going to get pwned. I might have to leave this downloading over night.

Any news on when this will be available via steam?

 

[badcompany]

Not necessarily, a total conversion is still a mod, which a a quick look over the wikipedia entry would suggest that is what Black Mesa is.

black mesa is not a total conversion though is it?

 

[McBain]

Download servers are going to crumble.

I believe it is. Rebuilt from the ground up with new voice acting etc. Xen is not included but will be released at a later date.

 

[Dave85]

Been looking forward to this for a very long woo

 

[Zefan]

Wrong.

A Mod is something that uses the original work of the developers, the textures, the audio, the character models etc. A developer licensing the underlying engine to make their own complete game is NOT a Mod.

It's not their own complete game though as it uses the same IP, level design, gameplay and story as the original.

 

[Shamikebab]

I didn't realise all the voice acting is new, I hope it doesn't sound too amateur.

 

[bledd]

Sounds good to me!

-original is the first half, remake second half (obviously)

 

[hegemon]

Sounds good to me!

-original is the first half, remake second half (obviously)

The pronunciation in the first half is better even with the lower sound quality, in particular list to when he says 'booths' and 'micro' in the second half.

Thinking this might be the page that the countdown will redirect you to so maybe check here if it goes down?
